Look, i understand the desire to know who gave you a rating. But turn it around - how many low votes would you be willing to give out, if the author of whatever you were rating would get a notification that you'd down-voted him. It's almost *asking* for revenge votes.
If you want to be polite, then leave comments on posts/articles telling the author why you think it needs improvement. But be careful about thinking there is a way to force others to be polite also - it won't happen, but it probably will skew the system in odd and unpredictable ways.

didnt think of that.
I was providing a solution for many questions posted here before about knowing who had rated what.

I think the rating system is a little um "over-rated".
A good article sticks out a mile, with or without a good rating. I'd much rather authors listened to the written feedback given rather than relying on the numbers system. How many of those 1s given are where somebody thought 1 was the top mark and 5 was the low mark?
Constructive written feedback is the only true way to help an author judge the quality of their work. The more written comments there are will also help readers to judge how good an article is.
We need to try and find a way to encourage discussion on the article rather than using a numbered voting system. After all, I don't do a code-review and give my work-mate a 1 or a 5, I tell him where he is wrong or what bits of code I like.

Just kind of came to my mind as a time saver...
Provide a button on the message preview window that allows you to post right after previewing.

The preview window opens up in a new window, so putting a button over there will not really save anytime.
You can click on post message button without dismissing the preview window and latter close the preview window at your own leasure time.
Plus think in this way,
Chris has to probably add more code to do that work which we can easily do and in the process make the CP slower than before.

For some time now I have noticed that this site seems to be exceptionaly slow at times. Take now for example Sunday afternoon (UK time) it is probably not very heavily loaded and yet clicking on any article will probably not result in it being loaded in under 15 minutes (thats right - minutes !). The page almost always comes through in the end but why the huge delay ?
The behaviour does not appear to be browser dependent - I have tried Opera 8.5, Firefox 1.05, IE7.
It also does not seem to be ISP specific as I have connected from a number of different ISPs with the same result.
Can this problem be sorted, because the site is practically unusable at the moment.

We have high load times (especially in the morning, US time, but 15 mins on a Sunday afternoon seems strange. Our scripts would have timed out long before 15 mins, so all I can suggest is there's a network issue somewhere between us and you. Try doing a tracert to www.codeproject.com and let me know what you see.

Not sure if this has been asked before. How about a knowledge base that has some really vanilla type explanations. For example "How to Connect to a database with ASP.NET, C#, VB.NET, or, how to consume a web service using ASP.NET, C# Windows App etc.

Why dont you create an article based on these basic questions, There are many of them related to VC++.

I almost missed this interesting article[^] because it was listed under C# cross-platform programming, and I filter articles to see only C++ ones.
Would it make sense to have a separate C++ cross-platform forum? Or at least pull the cross-platform programming out of C# section?

the chat room should b classified in languages like vb,.net etc and user's should be classified in Questioner and Solvers or ineed help and helper
---this would be more helpfulland more over it should be a one on one chat!

Forums are better so that the question and solution are helpfull to others too.
Like me, i just read the posts and learn.
and remember, ppl who help others via CP forums are not getting paided to offer 1-2-1 help so they wont be online for you to help you on need basis and if they do on other messengers like yahoo, msn, etc, you have to be very polite in asking for their time to help you.

Hello guys,
I was wondering if it would not be better , that after modifying the post the yellow "new" icon appeared below it or the subject text would be changed for example , to smth like this "MFC question... [ modified ]",because I can never guess that somebody has modified the post until I view it.

I like the idea.
I try and modify the subject of the post manually, but I often forget.

Yep , I thought about it also.But then thought the forums would become very colourful with green(updated) and yellow(new) icons.
But I think the best solution would be a updated icon as you stated but with yellow background , similar to the new icons background just with the text changed to updated.
And also there would be one little detail . If the message was just posted and hence had the new icon , then after modifying it I think it would be more correct if the modified icon appeared next to the new icon, instead of changing the new text to modified.

Hello,
I don't know about anybody else, but I'm getting a little rattled because of the <pre> and <code> formatting tags. When those tags are used, the leading spaces and tabs are removed, as well as any newlines between code lines.
IMHO it's better to let the leading spaces and tabs stay as well as the newlines. This makes the code look more like in the editor and reads more easy.

For me, I only use <code> with inline stuff this. I use <pre> for all else, and to keep the blank lines intact, just insert a space.

Ah I see. It still removes the newlines if you don't insert spaces. Thanks for the information.

Are there any plans to allow a person to recast his or her vote? I just voted somebody a 5 when I wanted to vote them a one and it is so annoying me.

yeah, Chris has that in the TODO list (i guess) for a long long time now but meanwhile you need to improve your hand-eye co-ordination.

I'm curious to know why the curse filtering does not replace those bad words with their equivalent case replacement. For example, I had typed the F-word as a joking reply to someone with a capital F and it replaced it with f***. I was wondering since my sentence began with F*** and grammer was on my mind.
