I don't agree, but as we are here in teh suggestions-foum - I have one.
Would it be possible to write in front of 1 'poor' and at the end of 5 'ver good' ore something like this. As in our school-system 1 is very good and 5 is poor, this has been confusing me at the beginning here.
It's only a suggestion, thanks, Gerhard

Hey guys, I just got a weird idea. It's not about programming. It's about a little "greeny" friend we have here. I've been surfing on CodeProject since its early starts. I've always saw that little green mascot near every CodeProject titles. Does someone knows if it have a name? If not, should we do a little contest to give it one? I think we have to do this if it's not already done.
Think about it!
Cheers,
Stef

Trying to read these forums with a brightly-colored, animated ad at the left is like trying to read a book with someone flashing a light in your left eye. Good design principles (you'd never read a book that way) should never be trumped by greed.
Um. I guess you are being sarcastic because I've seen your ads here too.

If you'd been around for a while, you'd know that I hate advertising in all its forms - however some times it is a necessary evil. Places like CP cannot survive without it. A few ads here and there are the price we pay for having this wonderful free service.
Personally, I'd prefer to have the option of subscribing to the site and see pages without ads. $20 a month would be a small price to pay.

I think you'd struggle to get all 3 million to pay. (Personally, I think you'd find less than 1000 members who'd pay) The idea has been suggested before and not really taken off. CodeProject is as valuable to me as my MSDN subscription, so $20 a month seems a reasonable price to pay.

People tend to be cheap. They'll take a resource that gives them much benefit for granted until it's gone and it's too late.

How about a "parent link" on messages? Sometimes it's hard to find the parent of a reply, especially in large threads, spanning over several pages.

That's generally a good idea. However, some threads become huge. If threads become huge, the servers have to work harder per transaction, CPU-wise as well as network-wise. This could potentially render CP slow.

I'm starting to do development work targeting Vista, using XAML and other aspects of WPF. I'm sure I'm not alone, would be nice to have a forum resource for these new technology areas.

Is it possible to run a new category for those who want to place an article about a new idea?, or at least a board for people to suggest a new title for an article.
I'm not sure if patents and idea ownership,... can make problem?

Really
I should be more careful about what I write, and open my eyes then.

Either I missed it or no one else noticed it.
Thank you for removing email addresses being sent out when replying to someone. It made it too easy for some people to spam responders.
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Opps, must have missed it, that’s why I carefully worded my post.
