Well, maybe you could offer more options to support CP.
This is exactly what we are looking at, but CodeProject should remain free.
We need to ensure that options we look at are things we can guarantee. Uptime, speed, network congestion, outages etc are all things that we can guarantee given sufficient resources. But what if there are missing files from unedited contributions we haven't processed yet? Or comments from other members that a particular member disagrees with? Or the orange is just that wrong shade of orange? That $20 unintentionally gives the subscriber some serious customer service problems that will take resources away from growing and building.
We get enough angry email from developers telling us we need to send them code or solve their particular problem. We really don't want to open up the floodgates. And unfortunately in this case the lazy/belligerent few will definitely make it painful for the well-behaved many.

I agree.

You're right, I didn't think about that. Maybe you can make some money with ungodly priced fan articles (like everybody else does). I voted for the Little Green Alien plush toys and would really like to have one (I just hope you won't get angry mails from customers who've been abducted by little green aliens). Anyway, I'm looking forward to whatever you guys come up with. 
Best regards
Dennis

In case u have FireFox try CP toolbar 
To say something about XML vs binary serialization, I think that strong typing in XML is quite an advantage - u can validate data (object) BEFORE trying to deserialize them... I am big fan of XML nearly everywhere, bt unfortunately I will not have time to study this & write article

Chris,
I notice the Web Services feed link on "http://www.codeproject.com/info/stuff.asp" page seems to be broken. Are the Code Project Web Services still going ?

Yes it is. I forgot to put up the scaffolding and construction detour signs.
Back soon.
[Update: all fixed]

Every so often (seems to be when it takes ages) an attempt to post a comment ends up with a save file dialog popping up:
Some files can harm your computer. If the file information below
looks suspicious, or you do not fully trust the source, do not open or
save this file.
File name: user_do_reply.asp
File type: Active Server Page
from: www.codeproject.com
[!] This type of file could harm your computer if it contains
malicious code.
Would you like to open the file or save it to your computer?
[ Open ] [ Save ] [ Cancel ] [ More Info ]
Open just tries to edit the file in Visual Studio
(Most of the time, posting messages works ok, albeit a little slow)

If you made the "Search" text next to the search box that appears at the top of every page into a link to http://www.codeproject.com/info/search.asp[^] then it'd let people open up a search in a new window without loosing the current page they're viewing (handy if you're replying to a forum post and want to check what articles are out there)

Yeah, this is often a small frustration for me as well. Alternately, just make the "Go" button a link.

When you check the "Do not treat <'s as HTML tags" option in the message editor, all HTML tags in your signature get displayed as non-HTML, even though signatures often have links that need to be treated as HTML tags. It would be nice if the tag option only affected the message text and not the signature associated with it.

In the setting's page, the signature box would need it's own checkbox on whether to treat <> as tags or text.

I was just thinking it would be cool to have the soapbox listed under the lounge on the main page...
Just a thought, and I think it would solve some of the soapbox type threads that go on in the lounge.

I don't think most visitors would want to go near the SoapBox, the typical thread in there is not something CodeProject would want to advertise.

Hi,
i thing it would be great if the options on the search page could be stored in a cookie or the user profile. every time i search i have to uncheck the "MFC / C++" and "ASP.NET" options, that's quite annoying.

When you try to vote again for an article, it should replace your previous vote with the new vote. That way, you can upgrade your vote, in case the article is updated and improved.

We have article search option here in our CP.This is based on Articles or Authors. But we don't have any search option which will search and show the queries , answers submitted. What I mean is, I seen lot of doubts submitting every day in CP which is already submitted by others and answered already.
So if CP is providing 'message search' then users will search answers for their query and they will only submit if they didn't found any.Surly this will reduce the number of repetitive queries that submitting every day. And will also help to maintain site traffic.

At the top of every forum is a little magnifying glass icon with the words "Search Comments" next to it. If you press it you will be taken to a page where you can search through the forum.
Do you want to know more?
