Actually, it's quite alright. I don't see why a non-member should want to see the who's who. If he wants to, he might as well take 2 minutes to sign up.

Lol, right, but when he sees an error he can think, why to sign up if the site is not working?
Err... well, maybe only some newbie in the net will think like this actually, lol

For some reason, I am not receiving Email notifications when a new message is posted to one of my articles. Am I the only one, or do others have the same thing?

Hi PJ
You wont get notifications for anonymous posts.

They are not anonymous, two were from one person, and the other three were from me, in response to that person.

Hmmmm, well it's happened to me too but very rarely. I assumed it to be a problem with my mail server.

I was gonna suggest that Chris add a section up where the 'My Settings' and 'My Bookmarks' are... something like 'My Replies' or something. This section would be a place where you could see any posts that were a reply to something you posted. This is because I am at codeproject more often than I care to check my email. I opted to not suggest this since it seems like Chris is way too busy.

In addition we can use this feature if our mail server is down.
Very good idea Jack

Are you thinking about something like a list of all messages that are direct replies to your messages? That's do-able.

That sounds good Chris. Specially for people like me with unstable mail servers. In fact perhaps you can even allow us to disable the mail-notify feature from the my-settings page and thus CP can save a lot of bandwidth which gets lost cause of sending notify mails

It would be really nice if there were an option in the forums which when selected would hide signatures in the forum (or convert to plaintext). When the sig is greater than the message text the post is hard to read.

I second that. It's generally nice to see the sigs, but occasionally when my connection is being extra slow (or certain persons are showing off with full-screen sigs) the option to browse without them would be nice.

This is for 12 months later or so. How about making the Lounge a web service. Thus we can all write our own Lounge clients to send/recv Lounge threads.

I assume your thinking along the lines of an AIM or MNS Messenger type service here. That could be usefull to see if artical writers or SysAdmins are online to send an instant message to them. Sometimes board posts answers can be a bit delayed.

Exactly!
But that's just part of it. It'll also let you view Lounge and other Forum posts, will let you post stuff and search stuff.
You can also view articles, perhaps even submit articles.

Basically turning CP into a program running a web service. Sounds great, if anyone does do this gimmi a shout and i'll gladly be a beta tester.
BTW it'll have to be cross platform wont it, at least with the HTML based CP everyone can view it, getting this service out to the masses running Unix and MacOS could prove a daunting task.

Actually, the reasoning behind Microsoft's use of SOAP and XML in their Web Service idea was to provide access to all. You see, any SOAP client can access and consume a web service. So a UNIX or MacOS client could access the proposed CP Web Service if someone developed an app for them. In MSDN articles on Web Services, they specifically state that Web Services can be used by clients on other platforms as long as they use SOAP. Hey, you could even use straight HTTP to access a Web Service, as shown when you visit an asmx file. It gives code as to how to consume a Web Service using SOAP or HTTP.
Just wanted to clear up a little misconception that I have seen in many places...

I understand the server/service side will be accessible by any SOAP/XML clients but what I was saying was that clients would have to be developed for all platforms which makes it more complicated than just having one website with some DHTML. I still think it would be a good idea though.

Sounds like your idea is a perfect thing to learn from.
Give it a go Nish, you can write a series of articles on its development. (Just make sure that all the clients have to display CP's ads otherwise Chris will start losing money)

For some mysterious reason this article did not appear in the last-10 updates box on the front page and I almost missed it. Luckily an anonymous person posted on the article forum and thus I saw it in the question-time box and came here. But it still puzzles me as to why it did not come in the last-10 updates list
