For the last week or so whenever I visit codeproject.com I get a 401 error.
If I choose refresh I get the same error, but if I do shift refresh the page loads perfectly and every link works fine from then on until I open a new session when I get the same 401 error.
Its like something is being cached somehow and causing the authentication error.
Is anyone else experiencing this? For me it affects both IE and FF.
HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.

There was a 401 issue last week but that was fixed quickly. Can you send me a screen shot next time you see this?

Hi Quaver,
Thanks for the input. I'm on Bulldog broadband, but I don't think its their problem. CP has always worked perfectly until the strange 401 errors the other week and it seems to be some side-effect of that.
I suspect its either an issue with the gateway in our company caching one of the 401s somehow or possibly an on-going issue with CodeProject. But as no-one else is complaining about 401s on CP I have to assume the problem must lie at our end. I'm going to try to get our admin guys to look into it.
The Tiscali thread makes for rather a strange read! I'm not sure whether Tiscali have an issue there or not! Anyhow, I do know that Bulldog were bought out by Pipex about 1 year ago and are in someway related to Tiscali as they redirect new business to them now. So its possibly related but I doubt it.
I can tracert to CP without any problems.

I just posted a news tip to BuzzWords Hall of Shame (the new forum in CodeProject). Is there any homepage customizations to be done to make the topic appear in Homepage also? Or is homepage not displaying this because of cache?

Actually, we had a related discussion with respect to Soapbox. We can not Soapbox top contents because it might be aggressive. But today, after the first few posts, I felt that you can consider the top posts. Isn't it? They are only informative and not irritating or aggressive.

My article (Star Wars style text scroller[^]) has been moved to wrong category (Languages » C / C++ Language » General). In top of article we can see "C#, C# 2.0, Windows, .NET, .NET 2.0, Visual Studio, GDI+, Dev"
It must be in "Languages » C# » General" or in "Languages » C# » Windows Forms".
Please, move this article to the right category.
My english is not so good. Please, correct my errors.
Best regards, Alexey.

I was helping out a colleague in his survey application to make one of a friendly data entry field using a simple JavaScript slider. Actually, we used (Tigra slider) one as a starting point, which is really impressive:

I just thought of sharing this with CP also, since it would be a good to have this for our Voting. Instead of just separate 1, 2, 3, 4,5 this would be a fancy GUI. It would increase the amount of voting granularity like 2.5 but at the same time, on the server side, we need to be more careful regarding the precision.

Cool. I've been waiting for years together to throw votes like 3.52, 1.23, etc.,
I mean that's what we need.

[I know you've shot this down when I suggested it before, so maybe someone else has an idea for implementation that will achieve what I would like to do...]
I'm looking at updating some of my previous articles - you know, the ones that have several pages worth of forum posts. It's a little painful to go through the posts one at a time, especially when you have to go back & forth between pages. What I would like to do is download all the posts to my PC so that I can browse through them while I look at my code. My idea: have a "Download All Posts" button appear at the top of each article forum, which would show up only when the author is looking at the page. I know this is simplistic, but it would really be helpful. Maybe the button would cause all the posts to be displayed on a single page, which could then be saved?
If anyone has a better idea of how to achieve this, please post!

I'd have to second that thought - I know you've written some good articles (maybe some rubbish ones too that I haven't noticed...)
And anything that makes it easier for useful articles to be kept up to date by their authors has to be a good thing.
Only one of mine is nudging into that territory, so it doesn't affect me *yet* - but I can hope.

I get the "Error Page Error. err..." frequently. When it crops up the site is unusable for minutes.

Still trying to get to the bottom of this one. The actual issue is the web application being unable to load the web.config file. This isn't supposed to happen but does. At the moment no idea why

Browsing someone else's bookmarks
How about allowing to browse someone elses bookmarks?
Probably the owner would have to enbable this feature. It might be a nice feature to re-discover
Add comment to bookmark
Letting me add a short comment to each of my bookmarks might be helpful in coming back to them, as neither the authors title nor abstract necessarily tells me why I would like to remember this article.
I am not sure if this feature is terribly great or even useful at all, though. Comments?
Remove the article URL from bookmark list
Showing the article URL doesn't really add any value. It's silly. It takes away space. You could put a personal annotation there... (hint hint)
"Bookmarked" as quality indicator
Not sure, but bookmarking an article is maybe a good indicator for article quality - especialyl if you somehow rate authors whose articles were bookmarked higher. (Would google sue?)
Just an idea for the neverending "how to find the good stuff" saga.
Download counter
Any obstacles in implementing "downloaded N times since xxxx"?
(Except maybe people gaming the system to artificially increase their download count, and kill the servers?)

Someone elses Bookmarks
I'd have to disagree with you on this one. I don't want anybody to discover my secret VB fetish! And if it was an opt-in feature, you'd have to take pot luck as to whether someone had a public list. Would this be a button by their "head" in all their forum posts? On their articles? I can see that being a lot of work for neglible benefit.
Add comment.
Strongly agree.
Remove article URL.
Depending on how good the title and summary are, it gives you a bit more info about by why you bookmarked it. I'd have to agree that a user comment (which I like) would make my point irrelevant.
Bookmark count for an article.
I can see this being fairly simple to implement (conceptually at least) but isn't the voting system doing this job? You do only bookmark articles you like? And you do give them good votes?
Download counter
1/ Gamable (as you said), 2/ doesn't take into account the people who downloaded, looked at the code and ran with fear, rushing to grab flaming torches and pitchforks. Voting serves this need really.
