Hi Chris,
I have found a way to change the default category:
1) go to the CodeProject home page
2) select the desired default category
3) go to the 'My Settings' page
4) click the button 'Save my Settings'
After restarting the browser, the last saved category will be restored.

This issue should now be fixed. Sorry about the hassle!

The Friendly Url within my Account Page[^] contains an invalid a link to the Member No. 38380.
Do I have two accounts?

For some reason, the files transferred from CodeProject does not get to show the file size and it just says 'Opened so far'.
I have sent a screenshot of the same to webmaster (at) codeproject.com

I was wondering if it is allowed to ask for donations on articles I have written. I read the terms of service and didn't see any guidelines about that. In the light of the current worldwide financial crisis, I think some of us independent consultants might be able to use the occasional donation. Thanks for a wonderful site.

This idea has been kicked around before. The problem is that it will give the site a completely different feel. Have you ever visited one of the other donation-ware sites? They're really obnoxious. IMHO.
However, if you really wanted to try this approach, I suggest that you write an article here (it would have to include full source code, of course), and then point people to your own site, where they can get additional stuff. No one would have a problem with that.
Another option: CodeProject has just started a 'Catalog' section (it's on the green menu bar above). You can post a product there for free.
I didn't vote your post a 1, and I suppose it's just someone else's way of saying they disagree, without having to tell you why. I think your suggestion is a valid one, and you should receive some comments, instead of just a vote.

Through this site I don't think Chris would go for it and personally I don't like the idea, but a link in your article to your own site where you can accept donations I would think would be OK.
Chris checks here regualarly, but this might be better discussed off site - perhaps send him an email?

The others have pretty much summed up my feelings too, but I'd add that asking for donations won't work. If the rationale is 'times are tough - it would help developers' then you also have to consider that in tough times the first thing that suffers are charities and donations.

I have tried for more than hour now, no wood 
I can't get past first step. And error I get is like Microsoft's information messages that give no information .., haha
"There was a problem creating your article."
Well, I have tried everything I could at this point. Only thin I recall that happened was that this morning when I was trying to post article, I got disconnected while I was at step 4. After that I am just stuck at step1 for ever. I have tried dozen different article names, descriptions... nothing seems to work.

Sorry about that - it should be good now.

always returns the "print" version of the CP article page. Why?
|
|
|
|
|
My standard search[^] has the non-print version of my grid control appearing.
Who knows. Maybe Google secretely has gnomes printing everything out and transcribing it into the GoogleMachines by hand.

I would expect the print version to contain less ballast (navigation, formatting, ads, ...), hence probably get a better relevance score than the non-print one. And one of them to be filtered out because it is very similar to the other.

There's a couple of things that could actually account for it:
1. Less balast. SQL server ranks relevancy based on keyword density. The more times a keyword appears per X number of words, the more relevant it is. Removing the nav bars in the print version makes the keywords in an article stand out more
2. Search engines used to rank material higher if the relevant parts of the page appeared closer to the beginning of the page. Nav bars and stuff would add initial fluff which would lower the ranking of that page.
I'm not convinced #2 is still in effect, though. It's just too artificial and prone to poor results.

Thanks.
IMO growing importance of CSS/JavaScript also should undermine #2

I've used ![Good Stuff | [The good stuff]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/vegemite.gif) emoticon recently, but either my memory is failing me, or you've remove the sheep icon.
I've tried
:sheep:
:baa:
:baaa: <--- this is the one my memory told me.
:baaaa:
:baaaaa:
:baaaaaa:
:baaaaaaa:
And none work!
I am now in a huge panic, and can't post anything without obsessing over sheepses.
Your's with a huge void in his emoticon repertoire,

As far as I know, these are left as easter eggs for the (dedicated | people with too much time) to find out.
