Why is the search engine on this site so HORRABLE! I enter something in the Search edit control, press the Go button and it gets hits on everything except what I am looking for. For example, just now I wanted to find something about circular queues, but I got a million hits on everything but that topic.

And that damned spelling checker CP has is terrable too!
Actually I must say the search for the CP forums is helluva much better. Works like a charm now. Well done Chris. Hope the rest of the sites search goes that way

Personally it's still not where I want it to be. I'm looking at a bunch of options and one of them will be "bite the bullet and buy a commercial grade solution". <hangs head in shame>

Don't do it, Chris!!!
With all the talent available here, why not specify the parameters required for the Search Engine and make it a competition? Set up an area to access each entrant separately, then let the user comments for each determine the winner after a suitable test period - parhaps 3 months or so.
It is ok for women not to like sports, so long as they nod in the right places and bring beers at the right times.

Maybe I'm getting too old for this stuff.
But I'm continually having problems voting.
How do you remember a 5 is bad or is it good and a 1 is the opposite ?
Also a couple of times I have clicked on a message and it was the voting number by mistake 
Yeah, I should move to Florida where the other senile voters are.

Maybe the tool tip on the rating's good be changed to give more of a clue (but that might only help IE users)

When you're scoring things in isolation, higher == better.
When you're ranking things in relation to each other, lower == better.
You score an article based on whether it's helpful or noise, thus higher number == better score. If you were asked to rate the last 10 MC++ articles 1-10, the best article is ranked #1, so lower number == better rank.

I tried to change my sig today and got this message instead:
"The name you supplied has already been registered. Please choose another."
Turned out there is another Rohit Sinha (member number 234913) registered on 14th Feb this year. If duplicate names are not allowed, how could he register using that name? If they are, why am I not being allowed to change my sig?
And since I am not trying to change my display name, and only my sig, I think I should be allowed to do it, even if duplicate names exist. After all, I registered much before the other Rohit Sinha, and have been using that name for a long time now.
Could you please look into it? Thanks.
Regards,
Rohit Sinha

After projects where I've merged source and resources from many separate projects into one project, I end up going through removing unused source files and resources by trial and error.
Is there a utility to cleanup a project directory and remove (or move to backup directory) any source files and resource files that are not project dependencies? And while we're at it, remove unused resource IDs and renumber them?
thanks

And why you posted this question in Suggestions discussion board?
Post any programming questions in Programming Forums or If it's general question (like yours) then post in Lounge.
Anyway look at the Mike Dunn's utility, it may help you.

How many times have you seen new articles appear via the submission wizard that have broken image or download links? Loads. How about a bit of scripting to check the files linked to in an article are actually present (if it is one that is stored locally)?

One way this could be helped, is if the default CodeProject template had the sample download/images in the correct folder. Currently, it looks like this:
<ul class=download>
<li><a href="Article_demo.zip">Download demo project - XXX Kb </a></li>
<li><a href="Article_src.zip">Download source - XXX Kb</a></li>
</ul>
<p><img src="Article.gif" alt="Sample Image - maximum width is 600 pixels" width=400 height=200></p>
In reality, the .zips and the images get placed in the "\ArticleName\" directory. This is the main cause of broken zips or images that I have seen. So, maybe if the template was changed to something like:
<!-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Change ARTICLE_NAME below to the name of your article (the directory it will be placed in).
-->
<ul class=download>
<li><a href="ARTICLE_NAME\Article_demo.zip">Download demo project - XXX Kb </a></li>
<li><a href="ARTICLE_NAME\Article_src.zip">Download source - XXX Kb</a></li>
</ul>
<p><img src="ARTICLE_NAME\Article.gif" alt="Sample Image - maximum width is 600 pixels" width=400 height=200></p>
I'm sure Chris M. could come up with something better than what I just did, but it's a start.

Is there anyway to query which articles I voted 5?
As I voted number of articles 5 but I forgot them to add to my bookmark list.
It's very difficult to go back and search individually out of 3,696 articles (as of today).
Whenever I visit any random article, it remembers I voted that article or not. So Is it possible to query that?

Can we have Bob holding a cricket bat while the world cup is going on, please? Seeing that so many regulars are talking, eating and sleeping cricket these days, it should be possible, shouldn't it?
And then Australia is the favourite team for the cup. <<hint hint,="" nudge="" nudge,="" wink="">>
Oh please Chris, please, please, please? ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Maybe the Indian captain will be handing the cup to Shaun Pollock?

Hello,
I love your website it's Swell..
Problem:
I always see an article that I feel is relavant, but not timely.. Then two or three weeks later I go looking for it, and can't remember where it was.. or if it was even on this site.
Solution:
If there were checkboxes in front of the articles, I could check them off, and then batch save them to my BookMarks..
Thad be really Swell'n .

Chris, I just want to let you know that I find the advertisement you are carrying for www.chatplanetx.com to be highly objectionable. I truely hope you do not need to advertise semi-pornographic material just to make ends meet. I am requesting that you remove them as advertisers.

They are not advertisers and we will never advertise such material. We pride ourselves on the advertising we allow on our site and would never allow such material to be shown on CodeProject.
