When a member does not have any articles, the page that lists articles for that member looks a little barren. For one, there is an empty set of parentheses after the member alias. Also, it might be useful to have some text in the rest of the page that says "the member has not written any articles" or something like that.

These are going to be a little pedantic, so feel free to ignore them...

Two of the list items under "The Rules" don't have a period at the end of the sentence. Might as well be consistent. Smile | :)

Also, who qualifies as an "international winner"? Non-Australians? Non-Canadians? Or, will the prizes be shipped directly from Trossen Robotics (US?)?

Rules state:
By entering the contest you agree to the rules, conditions of entry, and agree that your name, member profile information, article, code and any other submitted material can be used for promotional purposes by The Code Project.

Do you really need the name of the winner to be used in promotions? Just thought I'd mention that, since some people value their anonymity. If you mean member alias, that makes more sense.

I've been meaning to post an article (or series of) myself for a couple of years on HW related stuff that I play around with - if I can find the time in the next couple of weeks - I'll enter for sure!

Nope, I don't have much interest in hardware. I do, however, get bored and read rules for competitions that don't interest me. Poke tongue | ;-P

The who's who pages are showing "Member No. xxx" instead of the user's ID...

He might have written a mind boggling number of them , especially if an integer was used to keep the count and a bad cast is in place.

But this is seen in all(?) profiles that have no articles.

Based upon my article count, also -1, I too seem to have caused more harm than good.

Here's a puzzle for you: which article did I remove ? ?

Not sure but I just see your profile pic, so I reckon it happened while you was banging your head against the keyboard.
