Hi Chris,
A suggestion to ponder. According to The Code Project Discussion Boards[^], the following breakout exists:
Visual C++ / MFC: 327,821
ATL / WTL / STL: 6,697
COM: 9,169
A possible realignment as follows may be prudent. It includes the addition of a C/C++ forum:
Visual C++ / MFC
ATL / WTL / COM
C / C++ / STL
Considering the number of posts to Visual C++ / MFC, you might want to break this into two separate forums.
I've also seen requests for LINQ and Regular Expressions. Perhaps you can devise a way to get them factored into the equation. I've questioned where to place a RegEx question in the past. There also seems to be at least two fairly proficient RegExers patroling.

One thing we'll be adding are child forums that will make this easier

If you're using IE, visited links will probably show up as purple, which doesn't exactly look great on an orange themed site (not to mention the fact that it's close enough to red to cause confusion in the lounge by the color-perception-challenged).
Of course, you can go into IE and change it to #00ff00 or something else tacky if you really want to have some fun with the site's appearance.
Overall, though, I suspect that this is a mistake and is something left out of your css stuff somewhere.

And you missed an opportunity to make observations about my poor observions? How very kind of you.
'Tis the season, no doubt.

There seems to be a rendering problem with messages that contain PRE tags. If the contents of the PRE tags extends beyond the right edge of the screen, all content that doesn't fit gets rendered, but off screen, with no opportunity to scroll to the right to see the remaining content.
An example of this can be found in the original post of the "God, I hate VB.[^]" thread.

I think it is a bad idea to show MFC/C++ and C# articles together under a category!
Before the updates the grouping was much more sperated and more easy to navigate to. Eg listbox/view articles are bunched together with combobox articles and so on...
Maybe the filtering on the top: All topics, MFC/C++, C#, VB.NET ect could decide which articles to show?
Thanks for a great site, to bad I haven't got time to write more articles.

Are you referring too: "Article lists (eg Latest, top articles, tables of contents etc) are currently not being filtered by attributes. We hope to have this turned on again soon"?
If so, does this also comply with the categorization under Desktop Development groups? Like the group "Progress Controls" only contain 2 entries and I'm pretty sure that you had more articles about progressbars.
On the other hand "Miscellaneous" has a lot of entries especially with C# + MFC/C++ articles combined together. Wouldn't the load on the server be reduced if you filtered it based on the selection at the top (Home, All topics, MFC/C++, C#, VB.NET ect), or is it quite opposite?

We've turned on the filters so please let me know how it is now for you.
We also have to go through each section and move a bunch of articles into better sections

That was quite better!  But still there are some loose ends that was better before. The clear border between MFC and .NET/C# stuff has been erased and it became (in my eyes) quite messy.
Take for example the section (without filtering): Miscellaneous[^]
If you check the first heading "C# Controls - Beginners". I will suspect that this only contain C# stuff and not C++/MFC, right? The top rated article "CPPToolTip v2.1" is pure C++/MFC and it has nothing to do with C#. The next one "Designing a Windows Control - Part 1" is just the same, examples are in C++/MFC. These articles should have their own C++ group of some kind.
If you use a filter on: C/C++ you'll find find the article "Your first C# control[^], Report Viewer workaround[^], Themed explorer controll[^] and many more article that has the C# + C++ as grouping. In reality very few articles actually got C# and C++ information together so a check on these two entries could clean a lot of grouping.
I also want to suggest a profile update to select what "kind of" programmer you are. Simple groups could be: "I'm a still a visual studio 6.0 programmer", "I'm a C# programmer", "I'm a ASP.NET programmer" and so on. That way you could filter, menus and so on could follow your profile. And you always find the articles that have relevance to you.
Keep up the good work!

The template for the printable version of an article has changed a while ago, and now the article body is in a table.
Unfortunately IE cannot properly print text inside table cell and it truncates the end of lines (I don't know about IE 7, but anything up to IE 6 has this "feature").
That means that the "printable" version of the article is not printable anymore.
Please change the template so that the article body is not in a table anymore.
Regards,
OGR

the clicked link purple is close enough in color to the voted 5 red that at first glance I was wondering why my name was being colored red even though the post title wasn't and there were no votes cast.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

Where has the article template gone? I can't seem to find it. Submit an article link diverts to article submission wizard

When I post messages, there is no reply link, just a link to "view thread." This happened yesterday, and I posted again today and received the same result so I thought I'd document it. Here's an example:
Song Wars[^]
It doesn't appear to be happening to anyone else.
Hey, Chris - have I been bad?
Whatever it is, I didn't do it. It was the Chihuahua. Honest.
[edit]
It appears not to be limited to lounge postings, as there's no reply link here, either. Stupid Chihuahua. Stupid Flanders...

It's your sig - it's malformed. Close all the tags and you'll be fine.

Hey, Nish.
Take a look at my reply to Rama in the lounge - I posted the sig code, everything appears to be balanced.
Am I missing something?
