Hey Stefano,
I don't work for Code Project (I used to). You'd have to wait for the editor(s) to get back to your mail.

Hi Stefano,
I got your update but have been absolutely swamped. I will have it up today. Thanks for your patience.

Hi,
I'm building an app which parses the "My Articles" page and saves that data into a DB. I intend on making this app usable by any and all CP authors, so I need to take localization into account. If my OS settings indicate that I'm in, let's say, Italy, would the number twelve thousand appear like this:
12.000
as opposed to
12,000
?
Basically, are CP pages localized?
Thanks!

The boards aren't localised.

Can we have some graphs that show the posting patterns? Like most active time of the week etc

We could but it would take time and I'm not sure of the benifit other than idle curiosity.
(which is actually as good a reason as any, I guess  )

Hi All,
A recruiter friend is looking to request a few C# programmers out in Seattle. Is there a job board (I thought there was, but did not see it). If there is none, is it acceptable to recommend a post to the C# board?

Thanks Nish,
How did you find it? It was not in discussion drop down, nor could I search for it (articles and authors only).

It's on the home page's left menu. Under the 'The Code Project' section header.

Hey Chris,
I have seen posts complaining about quality of articles not being so good as before, and I am concerned because I have seen some poor articles too. But then I see article like this, and I feel very glad that there is CodeProject.
I was wondering if something could be done to encourage people to write good articles - like give award to "best article from first-time author" in each category?
|
|
|
|
|
We could have "Best Newcomer Author" awards on a quarterly basis (4 times an year). Excellent suggestion Hans. I second this wholeheartedly 
|
|

i don't like this idea, simply because i think this will encourage people to create multiple accounts, just to have a foot in the course.
Our Monthy competition is very good, and everybody (even newcomers) have their chance if their write a good article !
now, that's my thought. people, share your feelings ! 
|
|
|
|
|
Excellent idea, and when Chris gets the voting system working I'll vote for it.
the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Hans, read my other post to understand why i don't support this proposition.
I think the Monthly Competition is sufficiant to encourage people to write good articles. otherwise, trolls will invade CP !

This is a good idea.

Chris, I have an idea to let the users conduct "fair" polls so easily. Now the if the user takes a survey asking the other users to vote 1 or 5 , the resultant score is hugely influenced by the factor "who" is voting it. If a platinum votes, it's pulls the result to one side no matter how many others have voted the other side. So, just like we have "question","general","news","joke", if we have "poll" option that gets only count and not the weight, the user will be able to get the accurate results.
Just for a preview, I designed a simple option with "poll" icon.
Click here^
If user creates a message using this option, the voters "power" (meaning,Silver,gold,Platinum) would be stripped off. Just getting the raw count.
And so the final result is never affected by "who" votes it. And, if someone abuses the poll , we still have the option to down the message using "spam/abuse" option. Any comments?
Code-Frog:So if this is Pumpkinhead. Time for him to run and hide. It's an interesting thought really.

I guess it could even say
1) 4 votes
2) 1 vote
3) 0 votes
4) 1 vote
5) 2 votes
rather than giving a worked out score - then we could have polls with multiple values
Although a proper poll system would be nicer

Exactly, adds a bit of mystery when you try and figure out the results

Polls are common place on many forum packages. Since CP has never had them, I built the site http://www.MyQuickPoll.com[^] to use in the forums. unfortunately, people do not seem to use it, probably because they are lazy and do not want to take the time to click a link to go to another site to build a poll and some to vote on a poll (although many of the polls posted in CP, by a couple others along with myself, seem to have a decent number of votes).

Good idea; one person one vote where polls are concerned. To do otherwise is undemocratic.

I got the impression Code Project was a meritocracy.
