I'm currently developing a PHP guestbook for the website of the school of one of my kids. I know codeproject has some cool smileys. So I was thinking: can I use those smileys for my guestbook or are they copywrighted by someone?

Only if you include ![Good Stuff | [The good stuff]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/vegemite.gif) and only if you splatter links to CodeProject all over it 
cheers,
Chris Maunder

Thanks Chris,
I don't think the children like to eat vegemite. It doesn't taste like chocolats, doesn't it?  Actually what is vegemite?
I'll put a link to codeproject beneath the list of smileys.
Do you understand Dutch?  Ofcourse then you can take a look at http://www.7-sprong.be[^]

I shared an Aussie flat in Bayswater for about 14 months. Just about the only Aussie thing I didn't get the hang of was Vegimite

I actually found a jar of Marmite in our local store, though they tastefuly neglect to stock Vegemite. Reading the label confirmed my preconceived notion that the name comes from it's main ingredient, marmot dung.

Hmmm.. have you heard of Bovril or Fray Bentos? They are the beef extract version.
Marmite ( ![Heart | [heart]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/love.gif) ) and Vegimite (  ) are a type of spread for sandwiches, made from yeast extract. They are a thick blackish, brownish type of substance, which will burn your mouth if you spread it on the bread too thickly. The beefy versions don't burn your mouth however much you put on, it just starts to taste too salty.
HTH

Boy, that sure doesn't sound appetizing, oh well, maybe I will try it sometime, however I doubt they sell it at the stores here.

It would be nice to see the usual article stats on the "Articles by Author" page. Maybe even popularity, votes, views, downloads, etc.

Added to the TODO list

So if we suggest enough new features eventually some end up on the TODO list
How high is the percentage?

Any feature I like and I think is do-able without impacting on the servers goes into the list. All items are then ranked according to a bunch of criteria (time, cost, benefits, fun factor etc) which is then turned into a single rank. Items are then ranked and implemented accordingly. An items rank changes constantly depending on the wind direction so it's never easy to give a definitive queue placement.
For the record, this suggestion is #18/44 in the 'Suggestions' list. There's also the 'cool new functionality' list (18), the 'Important Stuff To Get Done' list (48 items) and the 'Bug list' (no comment on it's size  )
cheers,

Let me guess:
time - the time it takes to implement it
cost - server load and man power
benefits - the fun it is to implement it
fun factor - fun for whom?
Besides, why not publish this lists on CP and let members vote on the items? For the bug list this might provide even some useful comments (I suppose it should be available only to gold and platinum members because of the sheer size )
cheers

If I publish the list then that takes away the surprise value!

I think it would be nice if there was a DirectX option under interests in our settings. That way we could see who likes doing graphics programming etc.

As to the Lounge's CP users group post
If CPians could enter their Long Lat coords, if desired,
It would be a simple matter for other users to find out if many CPians are near them.
It would make for a real interesting search tool as well.
