No, I won't "jump from the plane", but thanks for the snotty tone. Your comment's not very thoughtful. Either the voting system has merit and people care about it (and they do), or else it can be done away with altogether. People wouldn't compete for votes if they thought they were no big deal. They're a major feedback mechanism in the site, and they affect the ranking of articles, among other things. You haven't written articles, and people pretty often vote you 1 on your posts, so your attitude is understandable; it's just not very realistic.

 All I'm saying is this: in the old days, no email system had spam control, because there was no spam. Now it's a necessity; my main Yahoo address gets about a hundred spam messages a day! Also, I've noticed some people starting to grumble on CP because of the spam articles and suchlike things. I don't know what the best solution is. Also, I don't think you should change your posting style just because you get some ones-- I get them a fair bit myself, mostly because I refuse to be a Microsoft fanboy. I always call it like I see it.

This causes problems for people from the same company behind a NAT (such as myself and Ian Darling).

Yep, I realize that now. You're right. There's probably no foolproof way to figure out someone's identity-- even sites like eBay have this problem, and they have the luxury of attaching people's identities to payment methods!

I suggest that a useful feature would be the ability to let people split their content into several pages, with a TOC/"you are here" feature on every page to let them bounce around. This is a pretty common feature on other sites, and would improve the general professionalism of Code Project (which is already high, of course).

Jeff Varszegi
[EDIT] Also, this could help spread out the load on the servers and decrease load times, which would make users even happier with the site. [/EDIT]

That sounds like a good idea. However, I'd also like to have to ability to see it all on one big page, because it is easier to print if it is one on HTML page rather than mess around clicking on the next page so many times and having it print one and an itty-bitty page each time.

I agree. Actually, if a multi-page version were offered, I'd probably recommend more prominence for the "Print version" link on the left sidebar.

I am new to RSS feeds. I've noticed that the code project only provides the RSS for ten latest articles. Isn't it possible to provide RSS for all submitted articles. I think it would be very useful.
Don't forget, that's Persian Gulf not Arabian gulf!

If I am not wrong, latest ten articles should always cover all submitted articles.

Hi list,
I have recently submitted an article[^] to the CodeProject and I have observed its votes step by step, to see the reaction of the community. I am very happy because my rating is high and the comments from the community are very encouraging. Nevertheless, I have also discovered that the article has been voted three times with 1, while almost all other votes were 5, with the exception of a couple of 4s. (37 votes till now)
The above makes me think that if two articles have been voted with [5,5,5,5,5,1,1,1,1,1] and [3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3] respectively, both of them will have average rate 3, and the same popularity. Nevertheless, the votes of the first article indicate a far more interesting article, at least in my opinion. Hence, I am proposing the use of histograms of votes (MSDN is already using them) in order to provide a more accurate idea of what the community thinks about an article. I honestly believe that these histograms would be very beneficial for the readers of the CodeProject.
Best Regards,
Jim Xochellis

After reading the poll of the week...
How about a new forum on source/version control discussions/issues?

You can post these kinda questions in operating-system/admin forum.
No need for another forum for VSS.
and VSS is a package, if you need help, press F1

Fair enough.

I'm asking...
"How about a forum for database issues."
you're saying...
"We don't need a forum for Access. Press F1"
<edit>
On top of that, you yourself even asked a question about VSS in the poll forum. Why didn't you just use F1?

you can ask questions in any forum, its up to the ppl wheather they answer it or not. But i was not asking for a seperate forum for that kinda question.
and there is a big difference between the two.

Key board is not part of the Operating system.
So i think i need a new forum for reporting disabled F1 key.

the forum says ' Operating Systems / SysAdmin ', so it all fits into your s/w and h/w problems
