Actually, there is no deduction because you don't know the guidelines. Simply knowing there are deductions is enough to make you aware, and therefore cautioned against unmanly behavior.

It looks ugly on IE7/Vista, but at JavaProject page it's ok. I've also tried using IE6/XP and Firefox2/XP and it looks fine.

Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

I did that, but it still only shows HOME, Java and LAMP.
I found the categories that used to be in the green menu bar, but they're not real visible.

I just observed when modifying another message that the message shows teh following time:
Monday, April 21, 2008 1:30 PM
The time is now 11.05 PM. My Profile has TimeZone saved properly.
Is the modified text calculating from a wrong timezone?

I was following up a post in Lounge and since I was also facing the 'Confirm Link Message' appearing but the link does not come through, I navigated to Help - FAQ - Send Confirm Link.
I observed a small sentence discrepancy over there:
A confirmation email has been sent <br />
<br />
Click here to return to the previous page
But the word here is mapped to http://www.codeproject.com/[^]. I would suggest either of the following changes:
1) Click here to go to homepage. In that case the above link is valid.
2) Click here to go to previous page. In this case, the here must be javascript:history.go(-1)

oops! 
That was me. I clicked the big red "Impersonate Christopher Duncan" button on my dashboard to test your account and see if the email warning was appearing and forgot to press the "Remove cloak and mask" button afterwards.

Bad admin. Bad, bad admin... 
While you're testing things, click the Email link and let's see if that gets through, as that's the part that wasn't working. I was getting post notifications and the newsletter just fine, but for some reason wasn't receiving emails generated by users in this manner.
Say, where can I get my hands on that Big Red Button? It sounds like loads of fun...

There's never been a more appropriate time for using the  icon than when I saw that post. 
I hope there isn't a big "Impersonate Vikram" button.

I have a feeling Chris has a big ticker, scrolling all our names, with a button beside each
"impossible" is just an opinion.

A ticker that scrolls 5 million member names? That must be a laaawng one, I guess.

It would be nice if the author of an article could update the download links. This could be usefull when you have some minor bug fixes and you don't need to change the article contents for example. That will also reduce the work of the editors.

|
|
Yes it would

Hi Chris,
I am afraid I don't like the idea.
if the sources get changed, it MUST be reflected in the history paragraph inside the
article text.
How else would the interested reader/user be aware something has changed?
At the bare minimum, you should add an automatic message to the history, but nothing
would replace the author himself updating the history and explaining what he did and why.
A way to subscribe to an article, so any modification creates an opt-in e-mail would
be nice and useful, and might alleviate my above concerns. So maybe you should provide this first?

Hi Chris,
unfortunately I am not able to give time, but I trust you will be wise and take the time
you need.

I was mainly talking about problems like missing files in the archive, wrong archive uploaded,...
For example, I updated my article last week and I saw that one of the download link was not up-to-date, so it would be easier that I could fix that myself. I also had the experience that I forgot to add some files in the archive and so, the first person that download the zip complains that the project can't compile. For those problems, there's no real point on having a history.
But I agree with you on the fact that it would be really nice to have the history separated from the article contents (in any kind of way). So that you could specify some information when you update the code (a bit like a commit message for SVN).
