It's sad about the SB situation. Chris, I feel for you and your team. Thanks to all of you who work hard to make CP the best even though the idiots survive.

I was briefly away from CP for a while. What happened to Soapbox? Temporarily hidden because of spam outburst or locked for only certain membership levels?

You just have to know the secret knock.

Old SB is now Basement. SB will continue in the the way Chris intended it to be Chris intended it to be[^]

and it's carrying a bucketload of crap articles from India. I'm not racist, but jeez, this is over the top. Have you considered having two Articles Needing Approval sections? - one for India, one for everybody else?
If my theory is correct, these morons must use India as their location, because they're being given an assignment by a teacher somewhere in India. So filtering by India would always work, since they are being told to use it.
OK, rant over, move along.

I think this may be his fake profile.. Just see "ghhjhjhjj uuu yuuyuy" in his description.
Or otherwise he may be testing to post article in codeproject.

Which article are you talking about? There have been a dozen in the past two days that are crap, all from India.

Some of our best authors are from India, but unfortunately many of our worst as well. It's an issue, yes, but to add another metaphor we don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater

Thank you for your great response. I am not from india, but I know what racism is. There is a lot of racism against indians by certain folks in CP or to be more diplomatic "taking advantage of".

I think racism is too ugly a word. How about "crass and offensive ignorance" instead?
I may mock people, but it would never be for their nationality; there are far better reasons to mock people.

yeah, I was looking for a "softer" word but english is not my first language.

As long as it is not a "trend" right?

Well, I'd rather mock somebody for being a complete and utter dipweed. It's so much more satisfying.

In almost all the forms at the top, there is this "view unanswered questions in <forum name>".
Is this suppose to return only unanswered questions? when I ever I click it, I get top x entries on from the forum regardless whether they have an answer posted or not. In some cases, a post may have multiple answers, still it is shown in this list.

They aren't questions without any answers - it's view questions that haven't been marked as answered.

Is that mean both 'Good Answer' and 'Bad Answer' qualify as an answer? [asking self]
Ok, I see, if an answer has either one it will not show up in the list.
Thanks pete,

I've had a thought...
I tend to jump between several favourite forums. For the more popular ones (Lounge, Linq and .Net 3.5, General Discussions) which have "hard" links in the header bar, this is easy. However, some forums I like to venture into regularly (like Java, MySql and Graphics) are a bit harder to get to. Well ok, not hard, but they do involve Mousing over Message Boards > Clicking on All Message Boards > Scrolling down the list to find the board I want > Clicking on the board name.
How about something like this:
In the Left Nav bar, just below ANNOUNCEMENTS and above CHAPTERS, pop in a little box called Forum Quick Links (or something not quite so poor). The box would consist of a list box and two buttons (a "+" and a "-"). Clicking the "+" button would pop up a list of all available forums on CP and clicking an item in this list would add that entry to the list box. That list box entry would then be a hyperlink to the relevant forum. Clicking the "-" button would remove the currently selected entry(ies) in the list box from the list box (might need to be a check list box to allow entries to be selected without following the hyperlink? Perhaps there's a better solution than that?). These entries would be tied to a member's profile to enable selections to be saved between visits.
[Quick addition]
Yes - I know that most of the forums are listed in the Nav bar when you're browsing the forums, but because the Nav bar changes based on the page being viewed I've never gotten used to using it. Also, it's a bit too cluttered
print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text
Ain't that Groovy?
