Thanks for your reply, Rajesh.
Actually, I'm not a VB programmer, but I am well aware that VBA is based on the same technology as VB, hence the name Visual Basic for Applications. I was working on a plug-in for Outlook and thus needed some assistance. Please don't jump to conclusion about me.
The reason I thought that a separate message board may be useful is because some of the problems I face using VBA for Outlook are actually harder for me to solve using only a subset of the VB language. Also, one needs to know the object model for the application. These issues have made some of my questions harder to answer than straight VB questions. Also keeping all the code for one application together might be useful especially for those who are just learning VBA for a particular application.
Since you seem to be an expert in both VB and VBA, perhaps you, Rajesh, would be so kind enough to answer my question in my more involved postings. I'm sure that I, as well as the rest of the community, would benefit from your knowledge much more than your weak attempt to belittle me. I'll understand if decline because you are a C++ programmer.
I don't claim to be an expert. I ask questions. I don't favor any computer language. I don't care what is better Linux or Windows. If I don't have something I'm trying to do on a computer, I'm outdoors or enjoying friends, family, chicks, and motorcycles. I have a life.
I read your profile. The first sentence said your are friendly. Please keep it that way.
I look forward to your response in the VB/VBA  forum.
Peace,
WT

That was more of a joke. Probably I missed the joke icon and there's absolutely nothing serious with my post. More often than ever, the VBA posts goes into the Visual Basic forum (along with the COM forums, whenever required). Why is that you think I'm unfriendly? I just don't get it. What's wrong with a little pun?
I am a an MFC/Visual C++ developer to the core, as you guessed. But that wouldn't stop me from writing a few lines of VBA Code. I read your query at the VB forum. I feel that it could have been a little more informative. We've got a handful of VB and .NET MVPs here and I'm sure they'll solve your problem. Start a new thread, add a small code snippet, showing how exactly you are trying to achieve your goal, which would help others understand your problem.

All posts are being marked read every time I switch forums instead of using the magic to guess when I leave and return.
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.

This happened to me again a few minutes ago. The last time it kept happening until I did a logout/in cycle.

I just did a site update a few minutes ago - you were probably the victim of a session reset.

I am frequently getting this message since lunch time UK using both Firefox and MSIE7, even after a reboot and even using another computer in my network. (this is what Firefox is actually displaying).

I too am getting this error occasionally. In addition, after receiving this screen, if I click the "refresh" button, the page loads, but the layout is really screwy. By "screwy", I mean that the page is only colored in black & white, and columns/rows are overlapping and in strange positions. All the links still work (and appear as blue links, the only color on the page). Then if I click the same link as the one I am presently viewing, the page loads just fine. Also, the last visited time is ALWAYS the time of last refresh, which is good because it immediately shows me when I last refreshed the page, but bad because it doesn't highlight any of the forums as having new posts. Hopefully I didn't get too far off topic with this response.

It was happening for me yesterday. I think they have fixed it now. Is your upstream proxy servers caching the content?

Me too, last evening. And then the "new" yellow tags work in different way now. The site builders updated the program yesterday.

I should have tested prior to posting, as I was responding based on what I had seen a few hours earlier in the day. Since I posted my previous response in this thread, I have not had any trouble.

And it is still crazy to have a pagination page size of 1 record at a time. I think this page has not been updated in the newer CodeProject.

MVP award winners' list was announced on 4th Jan, which is after the site upgrade. In fact, you had called me up, if you remember.

True Rajesh. My doubt was that 'Hall of Fame' page might be old. Since MVP Award Winners notification came through MessageBoards.
Nevermind, if you see another thread, you can find Chris has checked the database and found the issue. It seemed to be some technical snag.

Rajesh R Subramanian wrote: craziness
I think the word 'craze' itself would suffice. Isn't it? Once in another post, I used 'guiltiness' in a particular context and some one guided me that 'guilt' itself would hold good. The 'ness' suffix would be redundant.
I feel the same argument applicable for this word also. Or am I wrong? Can some one throw more light on this?

No. Craziness means madness, going insane, etc.

You've already provided a RSS link for each category of latest updated articles. For Asp.net section it's something like this:
http://www.codeproject.com/webservices/articlerss.aspx?cat=4
It would be great if you could also provide a filterable RSS feed based on the minimum rating of articles. Here is an example of latest ASP.Net articles whose rating is at least 3

I think that when you vote <= 3 for an article you should have to give a reason why your voting this low. These suggestions could then be passed on to the author. I'm sick of people giving me crummy votes but not telling me what they thought was wrong or where it could be better. How can you improve something if people don't tell you whats wrong?

I agree it is both wise and polite to tell the author what you liked/disliked about his article,
but IMO you can not really force people to do so:
- if you provide a text box, they can and often will leave it empty, or enter some nonsense,
if they really don't want to justify the vote;
- if you replace a single vote scale by several multiple-choice questions (say voting separately
on content, form, clarity, inventiveness, etc) you probably will discourage people from voting
in the first place.
One thing I did suggest in the past is CP to collect voting statistics on the voters, and
show those on their personal page, so people voting 1 (or 5) most of the time, would
reveal themselves globally.
The next step would be to "correct" their vote, i.e. to apply an offset that makes them shift
their average to a more reasonnable value.

i'm not suggesting a forced suggestion all the time and not a long one either. Just when someone gives you a one or a two its pretty crappy for your overall article score. i posted an article yesterday which i thought was half decent and today i get a 2 for it then i check the comments, nothing! It's so annoying. I think asking people to suggest when they vote 1 or 2 would be reasonable and would probably help to discourage consistent 1 voters who just go round trying to make articles look bad.

Maybe the best would be to ignore say the most extereme 20% of the votes, so the average shown
would actually be the average of only 80% of the votes. When doing so, as soon as you got
six votes, the lone 1 would disappear completetely.
