Did you click 'Search Jobs' link at the top right? Hmm - clearly we have design issues here.

Well, one of us has issues, but I'm not entirely sure it's you...
My eyes fell immediately to the Search / text box / drop list for articles, which is above the menu for the job board. I didn't think to look for two Search options on the same page, and honestly, the right menu kinda blended in with the scenery so I failed to notice the search link there.
Your design is probably fine since you're assuming that your users are technically adept and reasonably intelligent. Clearly, I'm an edge case...

You realise that the main search box that's on every page on this site also gives you the option to search Jobs? 
Will look into making search/telecommute a feature

Gad, could I possibly be any more stupid?
You know, they told me back in the 70s that some of the stuff I was doing would come back to haunt me...

Now that I've actually seen the search page, it would be nice to have a check box to "limit to telecommuting" in addition to "include" since that's a requirement in case - perhaps others would find it useful as well.

At the moment when you visit a member's profile you have the ability to 'View Member's Blog' and the link refers to the bottom of the page for the 'CodeProject' blog. Would it be possible to have a setting in 'My Settings' to allow the link to refer to an outside source. I know their is the customizeable Homepage section of the 'My Settings', but I have both an external blog and external homepage.

We're working on something kinda nearly similar.

I am trying to understand why I get always three br tags at the end of my sig : Even when I modify one thread, they are back, when I save my settings, they are back. Can anyone help ?
|
|
|
|
|
And now I do not have any sig anymore . I'll blame this one on CPHog. But still, I cannot get rid of the br tags when saving my sig in my settings. Why is that ?
|
|
|
|
|
They were actually </br>, (close break) not <br> tags. I've fixed it and added a bug report

I've been against it from the beginning and I think it's pretty clear the experiment is a failure.
It serves no useful purpose, reduces the level of discourse down to the "grunts" of clicking on 1's or 5's, alienates and angers people when it is misused or abused, has become a kind of game with the asocial and antagonistic and it is more often than not misused.
Just get rid of it, it's an embarassment to this site -- a thorn in the side of this site that really, really doesn't need to be there.

Why get rid of it? Just need to come up with a way to keep people from misusing or abusing the rating system. This goes for articles, as well.

Why get rid of it???? Did you even read my post or only the title. I could have given more reasons. It's a shambles and should not exist. How many other quality messageboards anywhere on the internet do you see with a rating system?

Yes, I did, and this topic has been beaten to death for a long time on this site.

That will buy you a reply like "ail;sefj;asd;lkf" with every 1 vote. I strongly agree with John on this topic.

That is true, but then the uni-voter would be exposed. Bottom line, everyone should quit going on about the voting system because Chris will not part ways with it.

I think one reason it's still there is the drama it brings to the website

Nothing at all 
In fact I strongly believe that guys like Henize, Kyle and Bill Sergio are major factors in attracting people to the CP forums. Life here would have been a tad boring without these characters. It'd be like action movies without villains.

I agree. They do make the soapbox interesting when they are not acting like a broken record

Drama is best experienced on *other* sites, this one is supposed to be a site for professionals and serious students and amateurs and needs to conduct itself in a professional manner if it intends to keep running by attracting quality people to post and write articles here as well as attracting advertising.
Anyone can go to any other site and indulge in flame wars etc. Anything that encourages that behaviour should be nipped in the bud in every possible manner. Getting rid of voting is one easy one to do right away.
This isn't a democracy, it's Chris' site and also by a good margin the site of anyone who cares about it since it's community driven but in the end Chris needs to do what's best for the site not sit by and appease the least common denominators.
