Alternatively we could include a post parser that can recognize keywords and tokens, then redirect inappropriate posts to the correct forum. I'm sure Chris has plenty of free time to implement this, so we might have it running by Monday.
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

I think we should leave it the way it is.
We rarely get programming questions in the lounge now, and the few that do give us some chance to shower them in acidic ridicule, which helps cheer up us grumpy coders a lot

See this thread for an example.
Any ideas of what to do about this sort of thing?
You can have an admin function that allows you to delete a user-id with all of their posts as well. (Perhaps you already have this, I don't know). Just don't delete mine

( small question )
can a "robot" post like that ? or is it done manually ? ( the spamming, not the deletion )

An email to webmaster@codeproject.com (aka Chris) will do the trick. As Chris monitors this forum he'll know soon enough anyway.

Hi there,
I don't know if this has been mentioned before, or if anyone else besides me would like it, but I usually refresh the whole forum page after rating a message, just to see what is the new score.
So I thought it would be nice if the new score was displayed in the small "Thank you for voting" popup window, if this is possible. What do you guys think about this?

Is there going to be a monthly article competition this month, or has it been replaced by the mobile devices competition for one month only?
I only ask, as I had a few articles in last months submissions, and I stood a very small chance of winning a prize!

This sounds a lot like the standard codeproject html template file. I use it all the time when writing/developing my articles. The only difference between its output and the final things is the difference in the img tags, and maybe a small amount of differences in some of the formatting of code. Other than that, its normally exactly like the "finished" article.

I normally set up a sub directory into where I put the images that will be named exactly like the article directory structure.
So, say you are creating an article that will be called my_cool_article , I just create a subdirectory called "my_cool_article" and I place the images in there, while I am writing up the html I create the img tag like <img src="my_cool_article/my_image.jpg" ...>
Then when it comes to uploading the article, I can copy the HTML from the template based file without modification. When the images are uploaded everything is in the right place and it all works out.

Well, this isn't actually a suggestion for the message boards themselves, but I was thinking that it might be cool to have an app that could monitor the forums, alert the user when new messages are posted in the forums, and be able to post new messages.

Sorta. I didn't know about Desktop Bob, and he is pretty cool. But I was thinking of something that could monitor specific message boards, view the messages' text, and post new messages right from the app. I think I might be able to modify DB to what I want though.
BTW, thanks for the link.

Bad idea. Ads pay for the bandwidth, and the advertisement model used by codeproject is one of the most bearable in the whole sloggoth called the internet.

Why authors are able to vote their own articles? I don't say it's good or bad, I just want to know why?!

In most elections, the people on the ballots are allowed to vote. If you were not allowed to vote, that could be interpreted as a deterent to running for election or in this case to producing an article. That's my best guess at it.

Because every article deserves at least one decent vote.
It would not be that complicated to avoid people voting their own articles, after all, you cannot vote on your own messages posted in forums.

Hi,
is it possible to change the rating for an article (e.g. after an article has been updated/improved).
Thanks,
Martin

Chris, my apologies in advance; I do GUI's for a living, so I tend to notice these 'off-by-one-pixel' things.
In the new and improved menu bar ("Help! Articles Message Boards StoreFront Lounge"), the drawing is a wee bit off. It appears the orange background for the menu is drawing one additional pixel below the rest of the orange bar that contains the search edit control. Hovering over the menu items drops down the menu correctly; when it closes, the off-by-one phenomenon is still there.
I don't know if it's useful information, but I'm using IE 6.0, running on Windows XP, SP1. Screen resolution is 1280x1024, desktop is set for large fonts. Themes are enabled.
