Maybe it's just me, with my slow dial-up connection and all, but I do feel that the C# page could be made a little smaller, and thus faster to access. Maybe you could place each sub-section on its own page, rather than the whole bunch on one page
I as a user would not have to click any more than I do now, but the amount I have to download from the server on each access would be smaller.

Yep - the C# section will definitely get reorganised.

Is Code Project's ToDo list available for viewing and rating?

No, because a) we often need to change priorities so any list we release will probably not be truly representative of what is coming up, and b) it would spoil the surprise

But that's where the fun begins. a) Instead of you guys changing the priorities on the list, we do it for you. b) Then you guys also get surprized.

Hi,
Many great articles on the site, but I'd really love to be able to read them on the road with my PDA (PPC 2002). Any thought been given to supporting AvantGo, etc.?
Cheers,
Paul

I've got an iPaq 4150 which is begging to be used, so it's definitely up on the feature list. It will be done.

I always thought it was ridiculous when it was first introduced, but now after watching it's effects for some years I can see it's also divisive and pointless.

Of course the voting useless for most forums, but many users love it.
In the programming forums it is not used very often, it does not matter if it stays or not.
In soapbox and lounge, votes of 5 or 1 are used as an abbreviation of "i agree, no further comment" or "i disagree and don't want to show my name because I don't have good arguments".
And here in the suggestions forum, you can see from a message's score, that the majority of readers find a suggestion a good/bad idea.
You're right, the voting system is pointless... but why not let the people vote, if they feel it's funny? 
I'd rather get rid of the voting system for articles. It causes "ranking wars", and I think many good articles get voted down because somebody hates the author.

Actually, I'd like people fiving a reply that was helpful. Makes it easier to spot the "actual solution".

True, but also sometimes I've noticed people fiving a question. I don't know why, maybe they have the same problem. Maybe the author sets up a second account and uses it to highlight the questions I don't know - but without further comments I can't tell (just to state the blindingly obvious)
Do you want to know more?

I can only imagine it's because of the last line about the site being painfully slow. Fact is that it *is* painfully slow, not all the time but consistently and this was supposed to be addressed many times over the years but never seems to get finally and for all time fixed.
I've done my part, I bought MSDN universal through C.P. and will buy my renewals through them.
When is this going to get fixed? If there is a hypothetical list of fixes to be done, surely this is at the top?

The only way performance will be finally and for all time fixed is if we can get to the point where hardware and system upgrades keep pace with the number of people using this site. Please also know that we are updating systems, adding new hardware and optimising the network continually. But we're also growing.
In the last month we've bought on a new developer, an operations guy, have advertised for a SysAdmin (and will be interviewing soon) and are looking to hire 2 more staff. Part of the mix is to allow us to expand and generate enough revenue to cover further server upgrades, and part is to move forward with current planned upgrades.
It's happening, but we're time and resource constrained so it isn't happening as fast as anyone would like, least of all us.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

Hi Chris!

Well, maybe you could offer more options to support CP. I mean, I'm not responsible for purchasing at work and since I'm entitled to buy the Visual Studio Academic Edition I'm not going to buy my VS for personal use at CP (sorry about that  . Now, I don't know how many members buy the CodeProject Supporter Status for 240 USD. I would be willing to pay for some kind of sponsor membership but 20 USD per month is too much. Personally I wouldn't pay more than 10 USD per month (unless you would increase the added value). Also I would more likely pay a small fee per month rather than a big fee per year (I know there is no real difference... sometimes I'm just illogical ).
Best regards
Dennis

This is exactly what we are looking at, but CodeProject should remain free.
We need to ensure that options we look at are things we can guarantee. Uptime, speed, network congestion, outages etc are all things that we can guarantee given sufficient resources. But what if there are missing files from unedited contributions we haven't processed yet? Or comments from other members that a particular member disagrees with? Or the orange is just that wrong shade of orange? That $20 unintentionally gives the subscriber some serious customer service problems that will take resources away from growing and building.
We get enough angry email from developers telling us we need to send them code or solve their particular problem. We really don't want to open up the floodgates. And unfortunately in this case the lazy/belligerent few will definitely make it painful for the well-behaved many.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

I agree.

You're right, I didn't think about that. Maybe you can make some money with ungodly priced fan articles (like everybody else does). I voted for the Little Green Alien plush toys and would really like to have one (I just hope you won't get angry mails from customers who've been abducted by little green aliens). Anyway, I'm looking forward to whatever you guys come up with.
Best regards
Dennis

In case u have FireFox try CP toolbar
To say something about XML vs binary serialization, I think that strong typing in XML is quite an advantage - u can validate data (object) BEFORE trying to deserialize them... I am big fan of XML nearly everywhere, bt unfortunately I will not have time to study this & write article
