Job posting sreejith ss nair1-Aug-04 23:46 sreejith ss nair 1-Aug-04 23:46  hi we have job posting here in codeproject. but it is not sufficient compared with other sites. i am not comparing any features here but we need to concentrate on more job posting. ************************** S r e e j i t h N a i r ************************** Re: Job posting Michael P Butler1-Aug-04 23:54 Michael P Butler 1-Aug-04 23:54  sreejith ss nair wrote: but we need to concentrate on more job posting Why? There are plenty of job sites out there already. CodeProject is better concentrating on its core competency which is articles about developing software and forums to ask questions about software development issues. Whilst you could argue that jobs are a software development issue, I personally feel the facilities offered by CP are adequate. Michael CP Blog [^] Forums Rocky Moore30-Jul-04 5:53 Rocky Moore 30-Jul-04 5:53  Hope this is not a repost. With the recent performance issues, it may work better if the forums where on a couple servers by themselves. Then if people started downloading a lot of articles, it would not effect the machines running the forums. This would make the forums stay more responsive. For me, speed and reliability is required more in the forums than articles. When looking for an article it does not matter if I have to try a couple times, but if you are browsing through the forums, it can really discourage you on each page click. In addition, there are the times when you are posting a message and the server dies where you may or may not be able to get back to your post to resubmit it.

However, CP won't allow Tom and I to work independently in terms of voting and such. Will this always be that way or are there changes in mind for letting programming couples work independently?

I don't know how your IP addresses would affect that.

Re: Can't use CP independently on same network Krista Crawley-Archer30-Jul-04 14:30 Krista Crawley-Archer 30-Jul-04 14:30  The error message states something along the lines of "You can't vote twice from the same IP address" Krista "Who doesn't bend before the wind is mighty apt to break." Author Unknown Re: Can't use CP independently on same network Michael Dunn30-Jul-04 14:44 Michael Dunn 30-Jul-04 14:44  Ah, ok, I didn't know that the server looked at the IP address as well as the account. That's probably done to prevent one idiot from making dozens of accounts just to vote something up/down. When you set up a private internal network, all data going outside the network appears to come from the same IP address. That's just how NAT* works. The CP server can't know that VoteA and VoteB came from different computers on someone's private network. *Network Address Translation --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ ---- Laugh it up, fuzzball.

Since I don't know you, I didn't know how techy I could be in my explanation. No problem Tom's mentioned you several times so I thought I'd just mess with you a bit.

Yeah. Bummer I guess, but it's reality. Oh well. Thanks for the responses. Krista "Who doesn't bend before the wind is mighty apt to break."

The first person who votes is the only one who get's a say? Seems unrealistically limited if you want accurate voting. -- Peter Re: Can't use CP independently on same network Peter Ritchie9-Aug-04 9:02 Peter Ritchie 9-Aug-04 9:02  The current message is "You have already voted for this message." and does not occur if I try and vote from another account from the same machine (i.e. with the same IP address regardless of NAT/firewall). Do you still have this problem? Re: Can't use CP independently on same network Krista Crawley-Archer30-Jul-04 14:31 Krista Crawley-Archer 30-Jul-04 14:31  I should also mention that Tom and I are two completely different boxes and - shocking as it is for husband and wife - sometimes we have different opinions and want to vote differently Krista "Who doesn't bend before the wind is mighty apt to break."

Michael CP Blog [^] Article editors Michael P Butler30-Jul-04 1:36 Michael P Butler 30-Jul-04 1:36  Didn't each article used to display at bottom who the editor was? Was this changed because there are now official paid editors. I only ask because I can't believe this article[^] got through the editing process. Certainly not up to the high-standards I've come to expect from the CP editing team.

I do not mean to excuse my fault, but the backlog got big on me during the last couple of weeks with CP access issues and in my attempt to speed up things, I erred on the side of proper-filtering. I apologize to you sincerely and thanks for pointing it out to me. The article has been deleted. Nish My take on gmail - Is gmail just a fashion statement?

No need to apologize, it can't be an easy job and we all take shortcuts at some time Now that each article doesn't have the editor name at the bottom, how should we point out small errors in articles. (I saw an edited article with a orphaned paragraph tag). I'm sure it would be helpful to you and the rest of the editors if there was some mechanism for pointing out things that could do with being corrected).

If you want to report something about an article, it's best to email submit@codeproject.com which will forward to the active Articles Submission Manager. It's better than directly emailing the editor for that article, since he/she might not be an editor anymore - maybe that's why Chris removed the Editor's name from the article footer My take on gmail - Is gmail just a fashion statement?

That makes total sense, and I really should have guessed that myself. [Suggestion] I think it would be nicer and more user-friendly if the link was still on the bottom of the page, but rather than having the name of the editor the link should show a mail form that sends a mail to submit@codeproject.com. Getting a little more sophisticated, the mail that is auto-generated by the form could have an xml body that contained the articles reference number etc. An app could then auto-parse the recieved mail and build a to-do list of changes that need an editors attention. The system could then assign the task to an editor, and automatically notify them of required changes. Michael CP Blog [^] Re: Article editors Chris Maunder2-Aug-04 17:00 Chris Maunder 2-Aug-04 17:00  The best thing to do is send an email to submit@codeproject.com, or click the "Broken links?" link at the top left of each article (just under the title) [Edit: Didn't each article used to display at bottom who the editor was? Was this changed because there are now official paid editors. No - it was pulled because it wasn't deemed to be necessary, and not having it saved yet another database lookup. Merely my doing some house cleaning. If it's useful then it's 2 seconds work to put it back in. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: Article editors Michael P Butler2-Aug-04 22:25 Michael P Butler 2-Aug-04 22:25  Chris Maunder wrote: No - it was pulled because it wasn't deemed to be necessary, and not having it saved yet another database lookup.

Thanks for the response. Michael CP Blog [^] Re: Article editors Colin Angus Mackay3-Aug-04 8:38 Colin Angus Mackay 3-Aug-04 8:38  Maybe it would be possible just to add in the submit@codeproject.com link where the editor's name used to be and have an appropriate message attached so at least people can see where to send information regarding the editing of an article (say damaged tags, etc.) "If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him, for an investment in knowledge pays the best interest." -- Joseph E.
