As we have so many categories now of message boards, it might be nice to list them alphabetically.

There would be many ways of ordering:
(*) Alphabetical
Other ways:
(*) Latest Posts
(*) Most Visited.
Isn't it?

I'd prefer a random order. Never the same list twice. It would force you to actually look and see what you are clicking, wouldn't it.

lol, I thought it was already random.
How about we just add a script so that it reads our mind and automagically opens the page for us.

Because many of the CPians minds may just corrupt the poor servers.

For a particular user, after voting has been exercised, instead of keeping the buttons (and radio options) available, you can disable them. This way the redundant serverside submission and hence the serverside message "Some one from this IP..." (a costly serverside roundtrip) can be avoided.
|
|
|
|
|
But how would you go about tracking which users have voted and which have not? Cookies? If so, then what if a user delete's their cookies or logs in from more than one workstation. It would give them the opportunity to vote more than once. Not to mention running the risk of multiple accounts. So even if they were disabled, the server would still be forced to check the IP, with an even more costly roundtrip.

They could use cookies as a shortcut and still do the validation.

Hello everybody,
Since CP is hosting code snippets and forums for almost everything......
Why don't we have a forum for Discussing Data Warehousing concepts..

This is far from the truth. CP is oriented towards Microsoft programming concepts. I don't believe Data Warehousing would fit in with this scheme of things and only serve to clutter the site.

Absolutely true. CP is focussed on Microsoft technologies. The slogan of CP itself is "Your Visual Studio and .NET homepage".

Hi Guys
ToDoList's[^] forum name is always out of date. The article name is 'ToDoList 5.1.1' but the forum states 'ToDoList 4.6.1'. This has caused confusion for a number of readers.
ps. The easiest way to observe this issue is to try posting a new message to the forum.
Thanks

Should be good now.

A post in the 'Vista' forum made me think of this:
With Vista and future OSs, digitally signing applications is becoming a necessity. But the requirement to buy a 'code signing certificate' on an on-going basis may prevent alot of authors from releasing really great apps.
Is there any scope for CodeProject to act as a code-signing 'authority' and offer a digital-signing service for any free software that is hosted at codeproject.com? There would be restrictions of course: no spyware, no VB apps etc  . But does this sound viable at all?
Of course if there is already this service available out on the 'net then someone please say so!

No, you never need to sign user-mode apps. Only 64-bit drivers are required to be signed.
But about free certs, I know I've seen an issuer that gives free certs for use in open-source projects.

I was trying to contact a couple of authors privately today, and after having a good look at both their articles and their profiles, I couldn't find any way to send them a private message. In fact, the only means I found was to track down their answers to the feedback on their articles, and use the Email link in their posts there.
I can sort of understand not having one in the articles, as it forces feedback onto the website for others to read. But it would make sense to have one in the author details. Or am I just being dozy and missed it?

Our members were getting hassled, spammed, threatended - you name it. We pulled the "Email Author" link to stop this.

Thanks for the response. I suspected something similar - it seemed an odd omission.
Is there some kind of safeguard on the remaining Email link in the forums, then?
|
|
|

Private emails to people in the forums haven't seemed to be as much of an issue.

You know he does raise a good point..... You should allow the de-activation of private emails.
