Once in a while (i.e. a few times a day) I get ticketed.
Each ticket has a nice number assigned to it, and I never hear about it ever again. Until the next one arrives.
Being occasionally curious I wonder: What is the status on ticket 432325?
PS: and who is getting to pay the fine each time?
PS2: Oh great (as Onslow puts it); while posting this message I am getting ticket 432393

We work on a demirit point system, not a fine system.
We have a very odd threading issue due to some new caching we've implemented. It's the classic 'Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute' problem which only popped up once I turned on aggressive caching last Thursday. We have a stale reference somewhere and I'm working now to get it sorted out.

Hi,
I've released a useful and free programming add-in for Visual Studio. I'm not willing to release the source code for it, so it's only available as a binary download.
I'd like to let CodeProject users know about it, but I don't know if it would be considered bad etiquette or against the CodeProject rules for me to post a message/article as an "advert" for my addin.
Can someone please advise me if this would be ok?
Cheers,
Jason

Hi,
AFAIK an article without source code would not be OK, it is against the site's rules.
Besides, not many people would be inclined to install and run some executable code from an unknown source without the possibility to see the source code and check it for quality and absence of bad intentions.
Why wouldn't you share the source code, that is what this site is all about?

I think my addin would be of great use to a lot of CodeProject users, so I'm keen to share it, but (while I'm happy to write some other articles for CP one day when my kids allow me enough spare time!) I don't feel happy with releasing the source for this particular project.
I'll just have to rely on the grapevine!
Cheers

Recently CodeProject introduced a new site feature that might meet your needs. If you look at the green menu bar above, one of the entries is Catalog. Here you can post notices about products, your web site url, etc., - at no charge to you.
p.s. What is the url for your add-in? I'd like to take a look.

Your writing style is very clear. You really should consider writing an article sometime.

Thanks Hans.
I'd enjoy writing some articles - but I have a 3 year old and an 8-month old, so I'm a bit pressed for time right now! I do intend to start posting articles one day though.
Regards,
Jason

Hey,
I didn't know where to post this question, so I posted it here. Yesterday, 4th of April, I posted an article Home-Made XP Panel[^] but when I search Codeproject it is nowhere to be found! Also Google doesn't display any results. It's status is Pending. Does this have something to do with the problem?
Greets,

A Gold-ranked member has not approved it yet. When it gets approved, it becomes visible to all and sundry, and both Google and CP search will index it

Right. Furthermore there are more articles needing approval than the home page is willing to show to those very lucky golden boys, so AFAIK your article cannot even be reached for approval until the other (some would-be) articles got dealt with.
Since you just provided a link to it, and yours is amongst the best of them all I will approve it right away...

google and the entire Intarwebs still have many links that e.g. land at http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/somearticletitle.asp
The page is a dead end, often the article was just moved. Why not redirect to the article search, using the title of the document requested ("somearticletitle").
If you are afraid that this will hammer your hamsters, you could make that a manual clickthrough, e.g. offering a "search for article", prefilled with the document title.
Err.... thanks

We do have a fairly comprehensive system in place that has all (well, all we could find, which is still around 19,000) of the old ASP links mapped to new links. Eg click on www.codeproject.com/asp/readfile.asp[^] and you'll be taken to the correct place.
Sometimes, though, there are links for articles that were removed and so we can't remap them.
As to redirecting the search using the title, we can redirect the 404 to a search page, but we try and do a search for you in the 404 page itself. We also only have the URL, not the title, so we're a little limited.

I should have included the link I was looking for (the article still exists under that title).
It happens from time to time - but I guess its of of the "noone notices when it works a million times" things.

Is there a place to post code snippets, something so small but utterly valuable it's not worthy of an article?
I often (okay, once every couple of years) find myself coming up with something earth shattering I'd like to share, but don't have time to write an article.
Something like: http://dotnettipoftheday.org[^] might be useful, if categorized properly.

I agree. This has been #1 on my wish list for quite a while. With an index and tags, it would be awesome.

As in: a complete 1-page index of all snippets across the site, or a separate tab on each section's table of contents page to which the snippet blongs.
For tagging, would attribution with technologies and platforms like current articles be enough? Or more free-form tags?

You could post it as a blog entry somewhere (perhaps wordpress), tag it with "codeproject", and add the blog rss to CP. It'll now show up on CP as a blog article.

Snippets or very brief 'how do I...?' FAQ-like entries? ie. only code snippets, or code snippets and/or quick 1 paragraph items?
I love the idea and with the new Blog type article it's now a lot easier for us to add these. My only concerns are:
1. Will a deluge of tiny 'How do I...' type articles swamp the main content?
2. Will these types of articles lessen people's motivation to flesh out proper articles?
