We should wait for Chris & Co 's reply to this thread since they might be having some TODO's for the next version of the website.

yes.
My suggestion was thinked to be as simple as possible to be implemented easily.
But about TODOs, relating this suggestion, I have got some addictional features:
To put in evidence the solved/unsolved threads, CP can change the color of his title or put a special icon there, or finally can send an e-mail to remaind to the OP to sign the thread as SOLVED after some hours.

But not after hours. Experts-Exchange allows for 21 days since message boards involve a group colloboration effort in problem solving.

CP can send multiple e-mail to request to 'close' a single thread:
for example after 1hour, 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h, 3days, 7d, 14d, 21d , 30d.
Of course if the thread is [SOLVED] the mails will not sended.
This let the forum board be more 'clean' and people can helps only who needs.

Considering the user base and the intense furious activity on discussion forums, the load on the CP SMTP server would be really breaking its neck. This would be a very resource-consuming route. Wouldn't it be?

Yes, it can.
But consider that the 'remaind mails' are received only by the poster of the first message of the threads. And that (as a benefit) if they 'close' a thread nobody will add other post to respond to they.
That mails can only be used to educate the user of the forums to be correct with to who help they and to CP (leaving clean the forums)....I hope.

Not only the original poster, but anybody could mark an answer as useful by providing it a 5 vote. We need not get anything new here, for this reason.

Sounds like a plan. But I doubt how successful it would be. The reason is that alot of people asking queries here are half-assed and they won't bother to come back and click the "SOLVED" button after their query is solved. With the current system, anybody could mark answers as useful by voting 5.

You have come to prove that when [SOLVED] is in the subject line, people clearly continue
to read and reply, so it does not work.

- make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/...
- show exceptions with ToString() to see all information
- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

It is more an attitude issue to show his gratitude when his problem is solved that he gratefully acknowledges the help that he has got from the public discussion board.

No - that misses the point of the Coding Horrors forum. Show me some bad, bad code. Don't show me a design that may not suit what others are doing.

Chris,
I actually wanted this Move for the reason that IE 7 terribly misses even the backward compatibility issue. When you have a semicolon in the filename, the File Download dialog shows a wrong info. In IE it manages to show the File Type but IE 7 breaks its own settings of 'Inspect file by content instead of file name' and shows 'Unknown File Type'.

So I was thinking about those fellows who vote an article --usually down-- without even reading it. Don't know if this has already been suggested, but what about to add some kind of timer to disable the voting button until n minutes have passed since the page was loaded, where "n" might be calculated according to the number of lines the article has with an aproximate on how long does an average person take to read a line?

Haste makes waste.
Why should we bother about half-brain-pals? Just ignore them. A real good article would automatically earn good credits in no time, in fact, breaking the poisons seeded by the sinister Univoters.

Yes, I know. Particularly I don't mind --furthermore, I only have 3 articles published  . Still there are many people who mind, so I believe this wouldn't take too much effort... Just a thought.
