Seems like I get a little older every day...;)
I've been changing things up a bit lately in my desktop environment... Along with some visual styles I'm also running at a much higher resolution than in the past, but with Extra Large fonts turned on. This gives me the best of both worlds in most applications. I can have large text where I need it and also where I want it within most app's. Anyway, most of the sites I frequent obey IE's text size option but not CP. I sure would like that.

Wouldn't that be nice? Web designers and their "carefully picked sizes"... jeez.
Paul Watson's Zoom links work well to overcome this however. (or just use the built-in feature in Mozilla)

Dude, you just got my Jaw Dropping Holy Sh*t That's Cool Award 
I don't mind the fixed font size on CP as much, because at least the font is a readable size. It's the idiots who set their font to 6 points and don't let you resize that get my goat. That's right up there on the WebPagesThatSuck-o-Meter with sticking the entire page in a fixed-width table (like 400 px wide).

I reckon a "tip of the day" would be a cool section to have. People could submit their tips and each day a new one would be displayed with the same as articles to comment on the tip etc.

I have noticed a many language specific questions appearing on "Visual C++" message board. What I am purposing is a new board to specificaly answer these types of questions. I would enjoy not only answering these types of questions, but also enjoy reading the answers that others provide (consider it a learning board).
I am proposing this because of questions like the following:
1) Why use? if(0==x) instead of if(x==0).
2) Why am I getting an error:
struct mystuct {char* pStr; int n} test = {"test",1,000};
3) Can I import files into my project using #include:
#include "somefile.cpp"
4) etc...
May be it could be called "C/C++ Language" quesions.
I refused to write in C++ code until I could write (ANSI) C code in my sleep. C++ is great, but after many years of writing in C++ (mosly MFC not ANSI) I still need more input.

I have been getting frequent (about 60%) errors when trying to post replies in the forums. Most often are the 'not posted' or 'duplicate post' type. In every case, when I checked back my post was, in fact, posted correctly. Once in a great while the response will actually identify which server produced the error - this week they've all been Web4. Could you possibly modify the script to always display the source server of the error? It might be helpful to you if we could identify the responsible server when reporting errors.

Last sunday CP made me to relogin. After I logged back this one[^] look weird to me.
It shows as if I didn't read any of posts in all the boards.

Well, i've seen the GeoCities "This page is not available." page far too often for it to surprise me anymore - it's not the prettiest page around, but i'd say it's more mundane than weird.

Now that's weird. I made sure that it's avaliable when I posted my earlier message. If I go from CP via my post I get the same error. 
But if I type it in the URL box, it works.

I didn't reboot my machine and I was using the same URL via favorites.
May be your right, my cookie must have got expired..

Hey, Ravi!
Saw your homepage. Where's the link to CP? Eh? EH? [EDIT] Why none on your homepage, though?[/EDIT]

That doesn't work either.

After someone selects some text in the area and clicks on the link button, Would be nice that the anchor is added without the unnecessary http://something content in it, and then the caret be positioned right after the quote, so that if someone has a url in the clipboard waiting to be pasted, IJW!

Dear CPians,
How many times you found an article that you really wanted to read but didn't have the time to do it that very moment?!. It has happened to me many times.
As My Favourites list on IE is growing bigger and bigger and I have started losing control of it, why not have a READ LATER list in CP. Every article could have a button to add the article into your READ LATER list or something like that and then you could easily go back to it...
Just a thought!...

Look for a "Bookmark" link off to the left of the articles. This puts them into a list accessible at any time from the "My Bookmarks" link at top left.

Okay, this request is for all us Lounge Lizards.
Do you know that page where you can look at all of your previous posts? It would be great to see what the score of each rated message is.
Yes, I want to see if the smart-ass comment I made in the lounge got massive approval or was just tepidly received.
It would also be great to see how many responses there were to each message.

Seeing that some articles like this one[^] get some great reviews and consistent high scores, by a large number of CPians, could we see a "Code Project Seal Of Approval"
For example, an article that gets over an hundred votes and an average score of of 4.5, would get the seal of approval.

Actually I suggested Chris that articles which won the monthly competitions should have "MFC / C++ : March Article of the Month" plaque image or something like that in recognition.

How about some sort of reward for Message Voting? Seems little incentive to click 12345
Or is message voting on meant to be used in the extremes of good/bad?
