Come on Chris, are you going to let M$ and BillG tell you what you can and can't do? Don't let the Borg keep you down.
Or... better yet, go get some sleep

It would also be interesting if, by marking sigs in such a way, a forum mode that excluded them could be implemented. Low bandwidth / dialup users may appreciate such a feature...

Would it be possible to start a list of people who can help authors that do not have english as their first langauge.
I sometimes read articles by authors that i'm sure would be good if they were written a little clearer.
How about starting a list that people could sign up to with their areas of expertise, programming languages and their level of english. Then we could help out Indian, chinese and taiwanese authors that submit articles that are hard to read?

we have the CP authors for that i think
Don't try it, just do it!

How am I supposed to do that? Suppose I found a typo in one of my own articles and wants it corrected. What should I do? Mail the head honcho himself with the updated HTML? 
[edit]I don't have a suggestion. I want one. I am in the correct forum for that, right? [/edit]

I suppose you could mail one of the editor and ask them. You get the list here.[^]

Pick Nish. I mean, he has nothing better to do while waiting for his page to load.

I had to laugh Nick - I gave you a 5 too
But seriously, what makes me mad is how everyone else in Trivandrum is so passive about this speed issue. I have tried posting threads on various forums - but the answer is usually to go for a high speed leased line (I think a 512 Kbps line comes at USD 1500 a month - which is way way beyond what about 99.9999% of Trivandrum-folks can afford).
Trivandrum sucks for programmers! Absolutely and totally!

I'm sorry to hear that.
We just got broadband over here, so before that, I was on dialup too, so I feel your pain. Maybe if you start a petition or something similar? Would that help?

The person's name that edited your article is at the very bottom of the page. Harass him or her!

Aaah, there it is! I looked for it at first, but I didn't expect it would be down there in such small font. Then I have a suggestion; make the editor tag larger and put it at the top of the article. That's where I start looking for such material, just as I would when I look in "real" articles. Last in an article is usually just a bunch of conclusions and references..

I like the way Chris has it now. I mean - in most cases - who cares who edited the article? Important stuff is at the top while the less important stuff is at the bottom. Most people don't even care if the article has been edited or not (usually the readers), so why dilude them with unimportant information?

When your email is posted / updated you will get an email outlining the easiest method to update your article. At the moment this is either email submit@codeproject or you can always email webmaster@codeproject (me). We're always at your service

The new search is great, but ...
Each search page has the current page number, but nowhere does it tell you how many pages or results there are. I would expect something like Page 1 of 5. Just a suggestion. Sorry if this is a repost.

I am looking through my search results and there is a next link, but I have no idea how many pages there are in my search. I may sit at my desk and click next for the rest of my days.

I haven't read that whole thread, so this may have already been suggested.
Why not have for each user a way of "pinning" a thread or subthread to the top of each forum. This would mean any discussion you were involved with that is going off-screen would remain easily visible, while not hiding new threads from view to the general community, because it's user specific. You could allow pinning of one thread in each forum (or maybe just the Lounge/Soapbox where it would be used most)
What we would have is a pin icon next to each post, and this would form the root node when you next went to the relevant forum. Clicking the pin icon for the root post would un-pin it and return the view to normal.
(Or could we just have an option for viewing 100 posts at a time
