yes, the site is having troubles, slow, and more, but yes, everybody at codeproject is aware of it, and is working on it !
check this[^] regularly updated post about what the CP team is doing background.
and please, don't post if the error you're reporting is already known

I see that eating, sleeping and personal hygiene haven't made it onto that list anywhere. If people say the site stinks, it's nothing to do with the site - just smelly staff.

Since a few days cp.com has been showing a lot of problems. I'm only seeing (small) individual problem in the forums, but it all doesn't seem very dramatic. However at my end, it does.
Usually, cp is extremely slow. Each page takes at least 10 seconds to load.
Many errors, something up to getting a default ASP.NET error page.
Missing articles. For example, when I click "C#" in the green bar, I get two panels with no articles.
To mee it seems like some of the webservers are messed up, because it seems to be very reproducible...
What's going on guys? I hope you can fix this soon... Good luck

Didn't you realice that has been a massive update in the site? codeproject is being modified and the stuff is making all possible to get it working as soon as possible.

Hello CP team,
You all did very great job for upgrading our forum.. I hope that you may like to hear some feedback from us.
Here is the list of notes that I made for our new forum during these days.
Nice features
1. Bookmark and Refer Friend in comment
This is what I was looking for.. (It saves my time for making a list of paramlinks of my favorite posts manually.)
2. Nice improvement for pasting the Link in Text Editor
This is also good one..
3. "Signature view" looks nice .
4. Search-engine friendly
I hope our forum is search-engine friendly... (Chris said that this is the main reason why CT team created the new forum. So, I think that our new forum is search-engine friendly now.. hope to see our posts in Google. )
5. Nice vote system
This is really cool thing. I shouldn't see "1 2 3 4 5 " after voting.. that's good..
Edit: No. It doesn't work after postback..
Disadvantages (at least for me.)
1. Lost all of my paramlinks from old forum
I used to save the paramlink of a post if it's good.. I have a lot of paramlinks from this forum.. Unfortunetly, all are gone.. It's sad.
2. Votes are disappeared.
I used to check the votes[^] for the posts that I posted in this forum. now, it doesn't show anymore.
3. Clicking the "formatting icons" makes postback
I think that there is one big problem with this thing.. For example, I wrote something in texteditor and click "B" icon from formatting bar. then, it makes postback and my unfinished post has been posted. If I don't write anything on the texteditor then it makes the postback and the formatting bar and "Add a smiley" bar are disappeared.
Note: I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Windows XP.
4. The old data are showing in my profile page.
my location is changed automatically back to very old data. (I have changed it back manually)
5. The order of Forum section makes me so confused.
I'm not sure why you guys re-arrange this.
6. Seaching still has some issues with old posts.
7. "Next" button on member page is not working.
7. Slowness
I think it has been fixed..
Missed features
1. Rich Text Editor (I'm not so sure why does it so difficult for CP team to find the good text editor. )
2. RSS Feed for each section (As chris said, it will be coming soon.)
3. New section for .NET 3.5 (including LINQ, Silverlight and WPF/Blend)
4. Marks as Answer
don't know how to call
1. "Show IntelliTXT ads in articles I contribute?" is checked by default.
Thanks.

I am not sure, but that should be because the URL now is different. Before was:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?....
and now is
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?...
But I think you can get the permalinks back, just editing the URLs. For example, before was with xxMESSAGE_NUMBERxx or something like that, now is just forum=XXXX&message=XXXX
I guess that the IDNumber of the messages still is the same, just edit the URl in the permalink's properties and you will have them another time.
EDIT: <big>Yes, it works. </big>
EXAMPLE:
OLD PERMALINK:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?msg=2321073&forumid=1647#xx2321073xx[^]
NEW PERMALINK:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1647&msg=2321073[^]
If you just edit them and apply the IDForum and IDMessage to the second option, you will get them back.
Greetings.

Thanks for the solution, Nelek.
I think it would be great if CP team can give us the url-redirecting thing for that.

1. Votes are disappeared
This will be added.
2. Lost all of my paramlinks from old forum
They are back. A bad database entry had ruined our elegant system 
3. Clicking the "formatting icons" makes postback
Firefox? Can you visit www.codeprojec.com/script/misc/browsercheck.aspx and let me know what it says?
4. The old data are showing in my profile page
Weird. We took a snapshot from Sunday 8am. When did you update it?
5. The order of Forum section makes me so confused
This is a byproduct of trying to group forums and will be revisited
6. Searching and Next
Hobbled until we have all perf issues sorted.
7. Missed Features
They will all be added. WYSIWYG editor is tricky because we need a custom version that does everything. We'll see how our curren one goes and if we can iron it out we'll make it ubiquitous.
8. Show IntelliTXT ads in articles I contribute
It's advertising but with a twist: we let you decide whether you want us to show ads to everyone else. Usually sites just allow you to turn it off for yourself but we wanted to go further and allow you to turn it off for everyone if you so choose.

I updated on the day when you start upgrading. BTW, there is my message and one reply in my profile page. Sometimes, my message is totally disappeared.. and sometimes, it shows again.. What could be the problem??
Chris Maunder wrote: This is a byproduct of trying to group forums and will be revisited
Thanks. I think that ASP.NET, C# and VB.NET are a lit bit confusing. What about WebForm (.NET) and Winform (.NET)? Because some people used to post the web related questions in C# forum but we can't ignore that since those questions are in C#.

Sorry, chris. What is "perf" issue?

What about FCK Editor or TinyMCE (Tiny Moxiecode Content Editor)?
Thanks for your reply, Chris.

Hi All,
The new style sheet seems to be lacking some attributes of the old. For example, [H3] is rendered with the same text size as [H2], and [CAPTION] is larger than [P] or [BODY] text.

I don't know if there would be much support for this, but as the number of forums continually increases, it would be good if you could save in your profile your favourite forums, and have a single link on the forum page to take you to the next forum in your personal list.
We would still have the full list of forums so you could access any, but have prev/next links to navigate through your personal favourites.

I second that, except maybe for the "as the number of forums continually increases" part.
Math/Algo, Visual Studio, WinForms, ... have disappeared.
As a fallback, I would like a more logical ordering of the forums (see the 3 columns on top of
most of them); it got changed but not improved IMO.

The math/Algo is still there, (here[^] in fact), the others probably are as well but I haven't looked, so I suspect that soon the numbers of links will expand.
It did disappear completely intially, but I guess the hampsters checked the trash before it was collected.

Great.
So we can meet there again.
Thanks for the link.
BTW: I'm using IE favorites now to navigate the forums!

Why not to use the usual favourites in your web browser? (You like 3 Forums... just put them in browser) If you want to go to another forum (for any reason) it is easy to jump from the list-overview above in the forum page.
In the profile is actually the selection of your areas of interes (VC++, VB, MFC, COM...) and most have similarities with forums list

There is no longer an Advanced search option where I can limit the technologies searched [ie. look in VB.NET and C# but not ASP]. Is this by design? Also, every search I make returns 2 pages but both pages are identical. Is this something on my end? Or yours?
Thanks!
Mike
Ok, now this is bad! Google can find an article in CP that CP's search can't find!

Read the very first post in the Lounge[^].
"* Attribute filters (as seen in beta) are also disabled so as to reduce DB load until we get a handle on issue #1. This will make the search pages look a little sparse."

Hello,
This issue started occurring since an update of codeproject. I use Firefox 2.0 and when I reload codeproject I am being signed out automatically despite the fact that I have checked remember my password. Also, when I open a link in new tab, I am signed out too. This doesn't happen all the time but sometimes it happens.

My link has been broken all week and I can't seem to find the lastest articles anymore.
My link is www.codeproject.com/info/latest.asp
this link now goes to http://www.codeproject.com/script/common/404.aspx?
How do I get back to the latest articles again?
