Yes they are, but at some point any of the CP editors can review the article, make formatting adjustments etc, and they then get moved into the edited section.
This normally only happens to the good articles, although they the editors do seem to pick and choose.

As a former editor, I can answer this query.  There is no queue or any sort of ordering for the unedited articles. An editor just picks an article, reviews and edits where necessary, then (using some forms) moves the article to its final destination in one of the edited sections. An article that's got bad grammar and formatting will likely stay unedited for a while; while an article that's perfectly typed, uses the correct CP styles and so on, is cake to review and will probably get moved the next time the section editor takes time to edit.

I discovered this occasionally trying to download file on new computer.
This doesn't prevent "abusing the limited resources", as claimed on the download screen, because anyone can register as a member. This looks annoying to a new user (I used CodeProject number of years before registering and I think this is the best solution). And this adds a lot of non-active user accounts to the CodeProject.

The policy is in place to prevent spiders from getting all the ZIP files. This is bad because someone can then get access to the files without generating ad impressions on CP pages. It's not meant to keep real people from getting the files. (And as you've noted, it's not... the membership has skyrocketed since the policy was started, but that's ok.)

Hey Chris,
According to the demographics, http://www.codeproject.com/script/profile/demographics.asp[^], there's 3800 of us in the UK is that enough for you to see if you can get us Brits a MSDN universal subscription discount from good ole' MS? It's really rather expensive over here - Universal is over £2000, or over $3000 
Cheers,
Barry

Does anyone else keep getting User Info Requests they haven't asked for?
Every now and then (actually four times this week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday mornings GMT and about half hour ago), I seem to get one message with the name of my article in the Subject (with spaces removed) and two User Info Requests for each message I've posted in that article.
The UIRs come from CodeProject Forums. The blank message seems to come from somewhere different each time. Today it was "CodeProject", earlier in the week "ds100" and a few weeks ago "SasaCZ".
I have to assume there's something automated (possibly targetted specifically at CP) looking for something, but what? Why? And can we stop it?

Why do message board posts here persist on displaying the *new* icon even on subsequent visits? I would have imagined there'd at least be a timestamp in a cookie so it knew when I had visted last. The site remembers my login no problem, surely these message boards couldn't have a new icon without some way to track what was new or not..

|

Do you have cookies enabled?
cheers,
Chris Maunder

Yes, in fact here's the data from it right now (last line mangled intentionally):
LastVisit

www.thecodeproject.com/
1536
226615296
29577624
530184256
XXXXXXXX

The question is, why would it think my last visit qas 1/25/2003, when it is in fact about 5 minutes ago. Note that because I have the cookie, I don't need to manually login - perhaps it is only setting the last visit date when I manually login?

The new "search all forums at once" feature seems quite nice, but i can no longer find a way to search for a complete phrase, only for groups of adjacent non-space characters. Any chance of getting this changed?

Once again, CP seems to be falling victim to it's own popularity.
Today, CP is nearly unuseable. It takes 30+ seconds between clicks and roughly half the time everything times out, and i'm left with a CP page with 0 messages.
Further, there's been an ongoing problem for many months when using Threaded view and threads which span multiple pages. Frequently, i'm sent back to the first page, even if i'm 20 pages in. Today, I've noticed that there is no way to see messages which span more than one page. Moving to the next page, the first entry is the next thread, not the continuing messages in the previous thread.

Serious Erik, CP has been running smoothly for me for a couple of months now. A while back it was horrid, but lately it has been good.
Sometimes there seems to be discrepancies as to which server you latch on to, but that seems to have been sorted out.
Can you Ping and TraceRoute CP Ok, Or is there some useless connection in between?

I can ping just fine, 80ms or so. In fact, parts of the system which do not rely heavily on threaded messages are quite fast. It's the message boards that are so slow.
Perhaps we view them differently? Do you use "threaded" view? How many results?

Wow, My PING Avg return is over 400 today (
I normally use Dynamic 50,
But I just tried Thread View 50 and it took about 12 seconds.
I understand well your prior comment "victim of its own sucess", but for the life of me I can't think of a solution, that doesn't require large investment.

I use the dynamic view, and it's like lightning at the moment - hope that will help! Nothing worse than lacking the hourly / minutely / secondly / CP fix!

Is there any chance of having some kind of lite option to make CP work better on mobile devices. e.g. on a Smartphone system, PocketIE reorganises all the layout columns into a single column, meaning you have to scroll past pages and pages of links and adverts just to get to the content (it makes the message boards almost unusable)
The "Print friendly" versions of the articles seems to be much better, as it gets rid of the navigation sidebar properly.
I guess you may be reluctant to remove this for standard browsing, due to the fact that it contains adverts, but when you're paying as much as you do for a mobile internet connection, most people will be browsing with images turned off anyway
