Hi,
Whenever we click a ZIP or EXE downloadable files from CP, it asks for a logon. Good. But after logon, it just opens up the same article page. It would be great, if it opens the article page and additionally emits a small Window.ONLoad JavaScript to start downloading the zip/exe which has been clicked also.
It would just mean passing one more additional querystring and a small JavaScript trick.
This, I hope, would make CP more user-friendly and would reduce a superflous click required to start the download. Is'nt it?

In Discussion forums, a different quirk is encountered. It allows to login, but instead of coming back to the user_reply.asp, it goes to CP Homepage.
We need to click back button twice and refresh the page to get the user_reply.asp with logged on credentials refreshed.

Hi,
I observed a small quirk/discrepancy in CodeProject logon page. Before the page loads, if type I the username and tab it and then type the password and before I finish typing my password if the page load completes, the window.onLoad shuffles the control back to the username field.
I think if the textbox username is not empty, this focus need not be done. Otherwise, one would find having the password being keyed on into the username and one would et 'Please enter password' message validation.

I've got used to the new set and rather like it. I've a suggestion to make - how about changing the admin message icon to red?
Wouldn't that stand out better?
Cheers,
Vikram.

hi chris,
what's going on with the deleted messages ?
is is voluntarily that they do not disapear from the forums anymore but just get empty with an easily recognizable title such "[Msg deleted]" ?
I really prefered the old behavior, but if there are any explainations on the choice, i'm all listenning...
thanks,

It was my suggestion looong loong back. When messages are deleted (in old case) the messages in the thread misaligned and they look wrong/bad. for example if the person deleted the root message of the thread.

If Bookmarking Thread is provided then I feels good to all just like bookmarking articles.
But I like this Codeproject so much.

Is the Preview mode on the message forums broken again? Several weeks ago I commented on it, and there was a "bug" that got fixed. Apparently, it is back.
Preview is my most favorite method of browsing through the forums, so I don't have to open every message just to see the "Right, I agree" comments.
Thanks,
Dave

Any chance we might get one soon? Seems to me it's an area that's sorely lacking here. You can ask in the language-specific forums, but many multimedia questions are a lot more general, and should not be confined to a language-specific forum.
The multimedia forum could cover video, audio, 3D, and maybe even 2D graphics.

when I write a new post, I will ad a subject, then TAB to the text area and start typing ...
but now, with the new icons, I cannot do that anymore, when I TAB, it goes to the first icon, so, no biggie, I TAB again, expecting to go to the text area, but alas, it goes to the second icon.
is it possible to either remove the top icons from the TAB order of the page, or put them in a group ( like it's done in "normal" windows applications ? )
Thanks.

What about a link that says... post since last visit.
I dont have admin previlage in my PC @ office - so cant install any software for this

2. The internet traffic is monitored. So, having an application that contacts the server every 'n' minutes will be a problem in long run.

When you follow your own tip on your search page, it gives an invalid syntax.
For example, using your sample... "Grid Control" NOT MFC
yields:
No results found (Syntax error occurred near 'Control""'. Expected ''''' in search condition '""Grid Control"" AND NOT "MFC"'.)

Instead of (or in addition to) the long URLs that are used now for locating articles, it would be nice if a shorter form were available.
For example: http://www.codeproject.com/soap/WlogCVersion.asp could be turned into
http://www.codeproject.com/Article.asp?ID=12345
This example may not be a huge difference in length, but it would certainly be easier to find again in the future.
I know several people who print out the articles to work with them, but the URL gets truncated and is therfore useless for finding the article again when looking for updates or to download the examples.
OK I'll admit it.... I've printed articles, to "review" them on the can, and had to hunt for them all over again because the URL was truncated.
Microsoft places article ids on their knowledge base articles and once you know the format, that's all you need to find the article again.
Thanks for reading

 One of my coworkers just pointed out that the URL is printed at the top of the article (not just what the browser prints)
I still think it would be easier to type in an article ID (maybe from the home page). Maybe if one were in the area where the date posted, date updated, # views, rating etc were located.

Would it be possible to add the Per Page settings to our My Settings section rather than in the forums? You can't set it without signing in anyway. The reason I'm asking is that if I have to reboot or it's Monday (highly convenient) all my cookies get wiped. Perhaps some of the other forum settings could also be set to defaults for the user.

I'm not sure if anyone else has the same problem, but I often experience difficulties with CP session while browsing around the site, sometimes it just expires for no obvious reason, like the session timeout has been set to 10 seconds or something.. Really annoying.. I't okay once you check the 'remember me' checkbox, but I obviously can't do that everywhere I go.. 
Is this a known issue or..?

I think a wiki on specific topics would be a cool idea.
There are many articles on CodeProject, but many of they are very similar.
It doesn't make sense for example to create ten articles about working threads and so on.
So I think that there should be a wiki with a small team of admins that create big topics, e.g. threads, stream sockets, dgram sockets, streaming, audio, 3d, specific mathematic topics, and so on, and every user can add/change things.
So it could be possible that every user of CodeProject could improve articles to make everything better! So we could write good article texts instead of buggy source code, which can be very time consuming for a single person. That would make life easier!
What do you think?
Don't try it, just do it!

I would *love* a WinAPI WIKI. Somewhere to collect comments, tips, errata on the various Windows APIs... Not sure if it'd fly, but would be fun to try. Especially with VS integration...

That would be awsome!  If I had the resources I'd start the thing today but..I don't..  Anyone rich here?

I think the diversity of articles on the same subject is one of CodeProject's strengths. I prefer to read articles that have a single author's voice, rather than a tech document built by a committee.

I well aware of how wikis work. The trouble with them is that the contents receives so many edits that it is no longer the work of an individual. I prefer to read a personal view on the subject and not get into pissing contests on whose view is more correct.
Wikis have their place. I just don't feel that place is on CodeProject
