Maybe you could post an item on eBay - you know, offer to implement one site feature request, and put it up for auction - sort of like the "evening with Scarlett Johansson" auction.

How can you compare a date on a date with a dateless "added to TODO list" 
Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles]
This month's tips:
- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google;
- the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get;
- use PRE tags to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets.

One of my biggest grievances with the CP is the fact that it’s so hard to paste code. I have to insert non-breaking spaces, replace angle brackets and so forth.

A couple of options:
1. If you use IE then anything pasted is automatically HTMLEncoded
2. Uncheck the "ignore HTML tags in thie message"
Adding a full WYSIWYG editor is on the TODO

Look at one of Luc Pattyn's articles about this...

Hi All,
I attempted to set a license while viewing an article at its end (i.e., not during modification). After clicking apply, I received the message, "Not enough information was supplied in order to display this page". When I revisted the article, the license was not applied.

Hey,
I made this exact same bug post a few threads below and no one even gave me a nod. Now you agree to fix it! No fair!

Nish also reported [^]this problem yesterday. I tried it earlier today and didn't have any problems, but my articles were not in the "unedited" category (don't know if that's a factor or not).

Oops. I did check the current bug list before I posted. My bad.

Perhaps this will help Chris and the gang.

No worries. I don't think it had made it on to the bug list. I was mentioning it more for Chris, et. al. so they would have some possible additional information.

Is it possible to set the licenses of all my article which do not have liceneses to CPOL?
Update Articles Set License = 'CPOL' where MemeberId=15383
These days more and more people are emailing me inquiring about the kind of license I have for my article code.
You have, what I would term, a very formal turn of phrase not seen in these isles since the old King passed from this world to the next. martin_hughes on VDK

I second Rama's suggestion. On the "My Settings" page, you can give authors 2 options.
1. Set all un-licensed articles to [drop down combo here with license list]
2. Set all articles to [drop down combo of licenses]
That way we can quickly set all articles to a single license or all articles that don't currently have one to a specific license.
For people who have more than a few dozen articles, this will be a huge feature. Thanks Elina.

If there's an option to allow changing licenses that've already been set, there needs to be a history of changes kept somewhere. Otherwise anyone using code with an acceptable licence would have to worry about it being GPLbombed and the author claiming it always was while sending out attack lawyers.
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.

Yeah, but that can happen in other ways too. The author might choose the CP license for the article but in the downloaded zip files, all his source code might have the GPL license in the header. In such cases I am assuming the license in the zip takes precedence over the license specified on the CP article. But it's still a disturbing thought that this could be a possibility.

Hi All/Chris,
When I run the tool over the stuff I do, it picks up the CodeProject's Style Sheet. It is complaining about the following. Line numbers may be off since I save the style sheet locally. The tool is built into Amaya[^] (put out by the W3C).
