Has the use of Green BullfrogPower compromised CP.
This past few days CP has been getting noticeably slower in almost every respect. However, today (20 Feb), CP has been so slow it is almost unusable and message problems as highlighted by Pete O'Hanlon is not isolated.

It is to the point of being unusable for me now, it takes minutes to bring up any form, minutes to bring up a reply window and then half the time the replys fail anyway.

 Yup - it's the same at this end as well. It took me an hour to post a reply this morning.

I admire your commitment but I just don't have the patience for it :/
I really want to comment on the singularity thread in the lounge but it just takes too much time.

No, we're not using slow electrons 
Perf should be better now. Sorry about that.

The lounge was still chugging horribly for me a few minutes ago.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

As a suggestion, say 1 or 2 days prior to you performing any alteration in live code, that Code Projects' front page makes such an announcement that effectively advises the members of potential slowdowns and the anticipated time duration the potential slowdown is likely to last.
Even if the forums themselves are likely to be unavailable during such slowdowns, it is bad form not to be able to even get to CP's front page. You and your staff know when you are experiencing difficulties and you could indeed have a temporary front page that both explains and apologies for these inconveniences.
All the browser states (in status bar) is the equivalent of "Website found. Trying to retrieve data.", then after a while, browser times-out. You know (presume) that CP still exists (you haven't gone out-of-business) as website is found but absolutely nothing else. A little information at that moment would be appreciated.

We understand it can be frustrating and in a perfect world this is what would happen.
Actually, in a perfect world what would happen is that all our tests align with reality so when we release new code we don't see unexpected slowdowns that never appeared in tests.
Our goal is always to release code that improves, not degrades performance and our readers' experience. There is, in theory, no need for us to ever post such an announcement. Sometimes, however, reality bites.

I'm having a real problem replying to messages (or adding them it seems) where it comes up with a message "There was an error attempting to insert your message.". I've replied to two messages and the replies have disappeared (none-controversial replies that weren't downvoted).

It happened to me when I was about to reply the topic "Newbie's can't post" at the Lounge 7 hours 40 minutes ago almost at the same time Rajesh R Subramanian had posted one reply (my timezone: GMT +8). I thought that I became a newbie ...

There is a box to list the latest posts / replies in the Lounge at top-right corner on CP homepage.
When I clicked any of the link on the homepage to enter the Lounge, the Date Filter was "All". Then I switched to Visual C++ / MFC forum, and the Date Filter was "Last Week" (yes I set this). And then I switched back to the Lounge, and the Date Filter became "Last Month" (I guess it is my setting).
But if I enter the Lounge by clicking the green menu bar, the Date Filter is "Last Month".

Yesterday someone was crop-dusting the forums with about the same sh*tty homework stuff in Lounge, Soapbox, C++, C# forums. It was almost like a Income Tax raid by authorities who storm into all of the allies' residences and offices at the same time to prevent the accused from escaping.
I have a few suggestions. Can't there be a little scan of similar posts (a quick search) to prevent such activity? If the user is intentionally doing this crap, then we should throw something like Yahoo 999 response for sometime to discourage his move.

Tried to post this yesterday when there were posting issues:
How much of an additional db overhead do you, as a software developer, think this would cause? Consider that it would need to run for every single new post.

I agree. But how long do you expect CP to silently bear all the kicks like those from the following perspectives:
1) Crazy cross-posts and multi-posts.
2) Vehement plagiarism of content by different websites.
Shouldn't there be some whip that should be initiated to bring these menace to control?

1. There is an Abuse button. Please use it.
2. Report plagarism to us. We have legal representatives to help protect our members and our site.

Hi,
when someone posts a new article, and doesn't cast a vote to it, it is shown as
"rating 0.0/5 votes: 0" which is not looking great, a simple "votes: 0" would be better,
the 0.0/5 is misleading.
But it gets worse: the 0.0/5 is also accounted for in the average over all articles,
so in this case[^] there was one other article at 3.4/5 yielding an unfair average of 1.7/5
In the mean time, I added a vote of 5 to the former article, so the average now looks
decent. But I still think this little bug should be taken care of.

This month's tips:
- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google;
- the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get;
- use PRE tags to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets.

I just noticed that the same set of three articles (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/XResFilePt1.aspx[^], etc.) have some bizarre formatting in the PRE blocks. After each comment line, there is now a blank line. So instead of
there is now
Haven't checked other articles yet.

This is a know issue, and it is on our BUG list.
Sincerely,
Elina
Life is great!!!
Enjoy every moment of it!

I'm glad it is known, but I'm concerned that the extra lines are being inserted into the article html. Are you going to have to manually edit each of these articles, to remove the extra lines?
|

|

But the 404 handler should anyway help out right?

Why there is not a rss/feed for codeproject's "Industry News" section, or do I miss something?
|
|
|
|

Whats up with that? I've been searching the site and have not found the "NEWS" feature to be available in RSS. It seems that if it can be emailed it could be fed via RSS. If it cannot be done OR will not be done - I for one would like to know the score. If however, I am missing something, would someone please toss me a clue?
Thank you!
(I am aware of the articles feed.)

I too would like to see the CP news emails offered as an RSS feed.
