since poor articles with lots of people voting would still get higher ratings than some good niche articles
The point to be noted here is that poor articles wont get votes. Each vote counts. A 5 counts more than a 1, but a 1 still counts. Thus instead of 5 being excellent and 1 being poor we have 1 being good, 2 better, 3 still better 4 very good and 5 excellent. And a 0 [no-vote] means bad. If the total for an article is 0, it means that nobody found it useful.

DirectX is completely unnecessary - check out my articles in the GDI+ section, this GDI+ code is easily ported to C++.

Chris,
Since we know that you are laboring so hard to get CP converted over to ASP.NET, I do have a question. Do you think that with the new version you will be able to automate the method to update articles? I am referring to the articles that have been moved outside the useritems section/folder.

Are you saying I'm slow? 
The issue with article updates is that some authors are more throrough in their formatting, spelling and grammer than others. All edited articles share the same look and feel and a minimum standard of readability. Allowing anyone to update the article text would mean standards would quickly fall.
However - updating the downloads is definitely something I can automate.
cheers,

Couldn't we have a separate list for job seekers (where people looking for work can post a brief resume and contacT details) so that the Jobs Available section doesn't get polluted with two entirely different types of post.

It would be really interesting to be able to view users by country. Often I've wanted to see who else from South Africa is on CP, but haven't been able to.

I Don't live in Sout Africa. 
Now You have the 33699 members that can live in South Africa....

I really think it is a good idea. It would be nice with some kind of codeproject statistics page. For example: members by country, member by posts/articles, interests/occupation (the ones you check in the member settings), unique daily logins and other nifty things you could get from the database.
Must think of the Useability/Extra work for Chris ratio, though.

A big elepant stamp for Michael!
I've been thinking that I should backdate all those who have July 6 as their joining date to Nov 15 1999 (CodeProject launch date).

But my oldest download file is 6 Nov 1999.
OR are you seperating CodeTools from CodeProject?
OR am I getting to old?
I have a new poll suggestion.
A few days ago someone posted a question and stated they were not sure it was worth learning becuase they found a book about it dated in 1995. Now C is from 1972 and most of you were not born when I had my first programming job so what I consider old and others is apparently very different.
Question: At what age is something to old to bother learning about?

HOws a bout a real time chat forum. Some kind of Java Applet that allows us to chat. Forums are great for Q&As but for a good discussion we need something more. That is unless there already is one and i aint seen it. But still an idea.
I'm not late, I'm just not as early as I could have been.
MSN Messenger address: jonathann4@hotmail.com feel free to chat!
