Don't feel too bad. When it 1st started happening there were loungers who wouldn't accept that was the cause.

Hamster had a night out in the town again yesterday? Damn that union

My friend was recently looking for a web monitoring service - where (for a fee) you enter a url and it will be checked each day (hour?) to make sure it is still up and accessible; if not, an alert will be sent via email or sms.
So I looked in the CP catalog, but there is no category for "Services". You may want to add this.
|
|
|
|
|
We've deliberately tried to avoid extremely open-ended categories like "services" since every man and his dog will plonk their service (web service, backup service, care hire service, questionable rodents in latex service etc) in their.
Would a more flexible tagging system be more useful? In think about it I would have thought "Hosting" or "Web Development" might be appropriate (though maybe not) but the ability to add a "Monitoring" tag may help.

What if someone adds a detective novel in Books & Training? Or adds a photo library of nude women under Graphics & 3D Modeling? Adding a Services category would require the same scrutiny as the categories you already have. Haven't you already removed some catalog entries as being inappropriate?
IMHO, I think that by not having a Services category you are deciding that you do not want the ad revenue of service providers.
P.S. Where are you going to put the cloud services catalog entries?

I'm not saying a services category would encourage inappropriate content. I'm saying a services category probably isn't narrow enough to encourage people to properly classify their entries correctly.
I'm also definitely not trying to say we have enough, or the correct categories. Cloud Hosting would fit in Web Hosting, or if it's non HTTP related then we could probably use a Web Services category.

Ah, I see your point. Yes, calling it Web Services would probably be better.

Hi,
I'm trying to upload my article using article submission wizard, but step 2 won't load - I could wait forever.
What can I do ?
|
|
|
|
|
Can you please try again? I've just done a small site update and you may have been caught in the middle of that.
I've tested the wizard and it's working fine for me at the moment.

Still, it doesn't work, neither on IE8 nor FF3.5. Request is send immediately, but I get no reply... ok, I get a one reply for 10 send requests. I don't use any proxies, firewalls, etc.

The wizard is on the same servers as the rest of the site so there's no reason I can think of for there to be a difference in how things work. I'm puzzled.

Okay, I added my technical blog to the site, and the articles are getting pulled in and I can view them here, but they are not showing up when browsing blog posts or in search. Is there something else that needs to be done?

New Blogs, like new articles, go through a moderation process. Once a gold (or above) member has checked and approved the article it will appear on the site.

Is this really a 'Featured Article'?? I hope this link works, I couldn't find the PermaLink Widget[^].
This was on the Beta-HomePage BTW.

Another one of those perennial favorites came up again today ( http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=3211478#xx3211478xx).
This sort of question would be best handled by a wiki - available wikis could be listed on a wiki index page.
[And no, I still don't want a wiki for code snippets.]
[Update] It occurs to me that a simple way to create and manage a wiki would be to use a Lounge-style forum; when a general-interest question is posted in the Lounge (or any forum), a wiki could be created by selecting the thread and specifying a wiki name. The thread would remain in the Lounge (or wherever), and copied to the new wiki. At that point any member could contribute to the wiki (with sub-gold posts requiring approval?), just as they do now in the Lounge.

Where would this Wiki sit? As in: how would it fit into the current content? A separate section for random Wikis, or a Wiki for each category, or...?

You could have a menu selection "Wikis" just like you do now for "Message Boards". There would be multiple wikis, not just one. So there would be a "All Wikis" selection on the Wikis menu, which would bring up the list of all wikis.
The basic idea is that a wiki = a forum. So you already have all the code in place to handle these wikis.
It would be great to pick a programming forum (say, the C# forum), and have a little list pop up with a list of wikis recently viewed by other C# forum visitors - sort of like what Amazon does.
Wikis would not be associated with a category. Think of a thread in the Lounge - that's what a wiki would be, essentially a forum. A wiki could discuss a book, a programming technique, or anything else that you see scattered among the various Lounge and programming forums; these wikis would be a handy way to say, Go take a look at this wiki.
Each wiki would have its own name; offering readers the opportunity to tag a wiki would make them even more accessible.
The wikis would offer another point of entry into the site, each wiki representing the collective opinion on a topic by the CP community.

It seems that the CP home page is now oriented toward whatever is selected on the orange Article Category bar (under the green menu bar)....
Except: the MOST POPULAR list includes all categories, not just the category you have specifically told the hamsters that you want to see. I would like to see only the most popular in the category I have selected.
[Edit] If you select All Topics, the MOST POPULAR list would display what it does currently.
