Personally I would love to see the articles on CP become less proprietary and more like a wiki. (I think I hear Chris groaning.) The problem is one that you have experienced yourself - there are some immature people who visit the site, who would quickly make a mess of any kind of wiki.
Unless Chris has some solution, probably the best short-term answer is for you to just submit a new article - if you want ownership, then take it. I think I would first ask a CP editor to try to contact the author, but that's as much as you can reasonably do.

Hi Chris,
I know you are aware the functionality. I wanted to reiterate so it does not fall off the radar screen.
Question: Is data avilable for past articles? That is, does CP retain indivdiual votes, or is a running total retained?
I'm interested to see how many univoters are out there. I think I've pissed someone off - I observe a dramatic drop in article rating early (reflecting a very low vote), which later levels off as others cast ballots.

This is definitely on the TODO list.

This is definitely the best excuse you could give us.

True. A picture is worth one thousand words.

I think this is the worst someone could do to you. I mean they don't have the balls to piss you off like what you did to them, but they take it out on your articles. They are not professionals. You must ignore them. Just my thought

Yes - some days I'd like to ask Chris to pass a message on stating, 'Please let me know what is so offending'.

That's all that I can do, which is frustrating. I'm much more proactive. Stop and do nothing is not in my circuitry...

Any idea of whether we should be able to change the message type after it has been posted.
Say for example, someone has posted a Joke in Lounge. After posting it, either the poster or admin can prefer changing it to Joke/Game for better visual display to other users.

Hey Deepak,
Looks like you've decided to make the Suggestions forum your own. 2/3rds of the recent threads were started by you
I am sure Chris is having warm glowing thoughts about you even as we speak

What is this? CodeProject for Dummies?
Modify the post and then change the message type.

True. It is for us. But also, I think, we can extend it based on Votes and Admin intervention too.

How about a forum or at least a survey to get an idea of how many people are using XNA.
I havent noticed any articles using XNA but i guess there must be a few people using it.

I see it now. Its not on any of the menu's though. Its also empty. I guess there aren't a lot of CP ers interested in games. I might write the first article for it. It might spark a bit of interest.

It's under the Platforms and SDKs section.
I've just had a play about with the XNA SDK, so I can't say that I would provide anything of value for other developers but the forum does interest me. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to push my knowledge along in games development - too much to do, and far too little time to do it in.

I was about to post the same thing about an XNA forum - good job i checked here first or people may have been throwing 1's at me

Hi!
I recently started a project in DotNetNuke and found really hard to get help regarding DotNetNuke issues, the forums available on their site (dotnetnuke.com) seems not much helpfull as compared to CP, may be because they are moderated and i have to wait for long time to get answers of my questions. I was wondering if CP starts a new Message Board on DotNetNuke then it will be really helpfull...just a thought!
Regards,
Affan Ahmad Toor

If you have a message board for DotNetNuke, then shouldn't you have a message board for Kentico, and how about SharpDevelop? The problem with this is that there are a huge amount of systems that you could end up having in the forums.
|
|
|
|

hhhummmm! i think you are rite...but how about a Message Board which is not specific to any such framework/system but covers all of them...like if any one have questions on DotNetNuke or Kentico or SharpDevelop or any other such system/frameworks he/she will refer to that group...?
I think this will help a lot of developers working on such systems/frameworks.

You can however make use of the generic ASP.NET/Javascript messageboard gems in CodeProject right? The only thing that matters is how best you represent your query to your peers and that dictates and stipulates how fast and effectively you get a response from them.

I'm not sure if this is a suggestion, or an idiot user not knowing where to look; Is there an easy way to view all of your posts on the forums, and if not could we have a My Posts linky up in the top right?

Have a look at your profile and you will find link there
