The only difference between its output and the final things is the difference in the img tags
I normally set up a sub directory into where I put the images that will be named exactly like the article directory structure.
So, say you are creating an article that will be called my_cool_article , I just create a subdirectory called "my_cool_article" and I place the images in there, while I am writing up the html I create the img tag like <img src="my_cool_article/my_image.jpg" ...>
Then when it comes to uploading the article, I can copy the HTML from the template based file without modification. When the images are uploaded everything is in the right place and it all works out.

Well, this isn't actually a suggestion for the message boards themselves, but I was thinking that it might be cool to have an app that could monitor the forums, alert the user when new messages are posted in the forums, and be able to post new messages.

Sorta. I didn't know about Desktop Bob, and he is pretty cool. But I was thinking of something that could monitor specific message boards, view the messages' text, and post new messages right from the app. I think I might be able to modify DB to what I want though.
BTW, thanks for the link.

Bad idea. Ads pay for the bandwidth, and the advertisement model used by codeproject is one of the most bearable in the whole sloggoth called the internet.

Why authors are able to vote their own articles? I don't say it's good or bad, I just want to know why?!

In most elections, the people on the ballots are allowed to vote. If you were not allowed to vote, that could be interpreted as a deterent to running for election or in this case to producing an article. That's my best guess at it.

Because every article deserves at least one decent vote.
It would not be that complicated to avoid people voting their own articles, after all, you cannot vote on your own messages posted in forums.

Hi,
is it possible to change the rating for an article (e.g. after an article has been updated/improved).
Thanks,
Martin

currently not possible
I wish (and I know many other CP members do) to enable this.

Chris, my apologies in advance; I do GUI's for a living, so I tend to notice these 'off-by-one-pixel' things.
In the new and improved menu bar ("Help! Articles Message Boards StoreFront Lounge"), the drawing is a wee bit off. It appears the orange background for the menu is drawing one additional pixel below the rest of the orange bar that contains the search edit control. Hovering over the menu items drops down the menu correctly; when it closes, the off-by-one phenomenon is still there.
I don't know if it's useful information, but I'm using IE 6.0, running on Windows XP, SP1. Screen resolution is 1280x1024, desktop is set for large fonts. Themes are enabled.

I sent webmaster@codeproject.com a screen shot of the problem.
(I feel like such a jerk even mentioning a single pixel drawing problem )

Hi there
I think a filter to see only unanswered questions on the message board would be nice.

I am trying to modify my article (it's still unedited) and when I am on the second step (the actual modification step), the Article text appears to be empty - nothing at all. I tried few times and it doesn't get better.
The textbox is empty in both design and html view modes.
Can I fix that on my own?

Sounds like a timeout problem. All I can suggest is you just keep trying.
cheers,

Chris,
I appreciate the level status we have, but I don;t think its granular enough. Currently regardless of how much of a contribution any given user of the site gives, they will all eventually go gold just due to time. Now the difference between gold and platinum is 25 articles, which is no mean feat to achieve.
I think you should have a 3-way ranking system, for example xyz which would be x - number of years registered with the site, y - the number of messages posted (as per standard message counts), z - The numer of articles posted.
This will allow people to be identified by how much of a contribution to the site they give.
So applying the rules to me would put me as 3GG (I think)
So if (when) I turn platinum I will be worth 3GP!

No, the difference between gold and platinum is 10 articles (25 - 15 = 10). C'mon that is simple algebra.
Aside from that, yes it is difficult to achieve platinum. That is why it is called platinum.

That is great that you can think of that, but how would you write that in a mathematical equation? Oh yea, that's right. I forgot, you have a hard time with algebra....
What I'm trying to say, is that your system should be more math based rather than just "3-way ranking"

Oook. He's been a member here for quite some time. I doubt he's "buttering Chris up".

It's really not good to be arrogant if you aren't certain that what you are saying is correct. You can be get Gold status simply by posting 500 messages and being a member here for one year. That's why Roger is suggesting more granularity. So it could be easily seen, that a member is Gold for article count, or Gold for posting 500 messages and being here for a year.

Not sure if you noticed, but Roger is only 4 articles away from becoming platinum. I'm sure it's difficult, and Roger is nearly there.

Are you just trying to be a confrontational jerk or what? Try to have some respect for the community members here, instead of launching into a tirade that makes you look like you're 15. Oh wait, nevermind.
