Your talking about something different then. If someone is unwise enough to make an email address public then they probably aren't going to also check the "make this private".
I still don't understand what the use of private information would be. It's not viewable. Why even have it?

Come on VDK. How will anyone know your bank a/c no? With your DOB alone, do you think somebody could rob your bank a/c? If that still was possible, you always have an option not to provide the details that you think are private and confidential. There is no point in filling up your DOB and complaining about it.

Is Message (forum search) restricted only to the new CodeProject (post-upgrade)?
There seems to be some hiccup that search always matches no records when going before upgrade timestamp.

This is a feature that I've asked about before[^], but maybe with the rewrite to ASP.NET and the number of CP members that are joining Community Credit now, it would be great to have some integration between the two sites. That would allow CP to automatically submit points for users whenever a forum message is posted or an article is submitted.
Community Credit has a set of web services that can be used to do this so there shouldn't be a major amount of work to be done on CP. I can help in any way needed as well since I have written an off-line utility to do this for me. (I parse the "Latest Comments" page to pull out the post information and then submit it to CC, keeping track of what messages I've already submitted.) It works very well and was just updated to handle the new CP site.

Scott,
Great suggestion. I wish WordPress.com was integrated also.

You should switch to Subtext[^] then. If you don't want to host your own blog, you can check out GeeksWithBlogs[^], which uses Subtext as the blogging engine.

Cool. Have you published it as an article? It would be of terrific use to many CP-CC members and particularly during this passionate period of fervent community participation.

Interesting idea. I hadn't thought about this as an article, but I may have to rethink that.

Hmm...it seems that it's possible to fit the lyrics to all Tool songs into my signature.[^] This is achieved not through changing it permanently the normal way, but by doing it in the 'New Message' page, where you can edit the signature 'on the fly'.
Am I correct in assuming that this is a bug?
By the way, sorry about the bad words in the lyrics. I'm obsessed with Tool. I was going to use The Communist Manifesto as an example, but it was just too long, and I got an error every time I tried. It would have been a lot funnier though.

In every survey results page, there used be a link which used to load a page called 'Suggest a Survey' or email to webmaster (at) codeproject.com.
Where is that form in the newer version of CodeProject?

It is currently on the "Survey List" page (Left navigation panel, or here [^]).
Will be added to the Survey results page as well (overlooked), thanks for pointing.

Thank you. I was actually interested in the SurveyPage that gets linked from the list.aspx. Both the pages are required at the top level itself as
Other Surveys | Suggest a Survey right.
BTW, there are two more issues in the Suggest the Survey Page (http://www.codeproject.com/script/Common/Suggest.aspx?subject=Survey[^])
1) The page presents an awful horizontal scrollbar which is unwarranted.
2) The 'Your Name' textbox is displaying HTML like <font color> which forms part of my Display Name. Whilst prefilling the Your Name textboxes, the script ought to trim the HTML and get only the caption (a kind of .innerText). Isn't it?

I am not sure, I completely understood that.
Is this about SurevyREsults page, and the "Other Surveys" is a link to SurveyList ?
What I thought, was adding a link to the VoteForm from the surveyResult page (if it is a current survey)

No matter how many times I delete or restore a pending article seems to be always available?
Is there a way to permanently delete it?

Also, how does the lifecycle of an article in 'Purgatory' gets defined. Purely by votes only? Since sometimes good articles get landed up in 'Purgatory'.

Before the upgrade I had an overall article rating of 4.6.
After the upgrade it came down to 4.58 (which is ok).
After the on gone site changes it came to 4.37. It seems that most recently posted articles have more weight in deciding the overall article rating. For example if someone posts a 5 to a new article the overall article rating goes up by 0.02 or 0.03 (which should not happen).
Has the overall rating calculation changed? or is it a bug?
