That's one heck of an overhead for Code Project. What about those users who don't use TFS? A lot of people prefer to use things like Mercurial, GIT or SVN.

Well, those were good references.
And sorry that I did not mention one thing: that is,
We can have multiple source code control systems (SSCS) like you mentioned git etc...
And about the overhead, we can put responsibility of the previous (older) project to be added in SSCS on users, let them choose if they want to put there project in SSCS or not.

This suggestion would add a lot of cost and overhead to Code Project. One real problem would end up being that code would be updated in the source control system, but would not be updated in the article text. This would render the article pretty much useless.
The key thing here is that the focus of Code Project are the articles.

Hmm - that's an interesting if ambitious idea.

For the last 5 or 6 days (fuzzy since I've been away and back and on different computers), I am not able to login on (at least) my Vista computer using Firefox 17.0.1. The symptom is that when I show up on CP, it has me logged out (despite prior 'remember me' setting). When I attempt to login at the clicky symbol in the upper right hand corner, it accepts my login info, the popup disappears, screen blinks and I am back to the 'logged out' state. If I go to the CP login page (https://www.cp.com/script/Membership/LogOn.aspx) and login, it takes my info and gives me the same 'logged out' status on the main page.
I am currently using IE (not my browser of choice or habit) to login and submit this bug report. Attempting to login on firefox while I am logged in with IE gives me the hamsters (ha ha - that part might be working correctly).
[update...]
Any attempt to login with firefox now gives me the hamsters (IE works fine). The hamsters report 'invalid viewstate', server is Web02.
I don't know if this is a different problem or not but I am a devotee of the Daily News messages. I don't always read them the same day, but I always read them. I note that I haven't received any Daily News messages since Dec 21.
[update 2...]
I deleted my FireFox CP cookies and was able to login.
No new daily messages however; still none since Dec 21.

Glad you got the login fixed. Way-back-when, Firefox had lots of issues with cookies and clearing them was the only way to fix these issues. I haven't seen firefox issues for a long time, so it seems they have crept back in.
With regards to the Daily News, we took a hiatus on these during the break so that we could, well, have a break! They will be back for the New Year.

Thanks for your attention and response.
Happy New Year to you, the staff and hamsters.

After entering email and password, I get hamsters telling me something bad happened - "Invalid viewstate".
I tried using both the Full Site and the Mobile mode.
I am not sure when it last worked. Maybe a week ago.

Don't comment your code - it was hard to write, it should be hard to read!

Mine is also a Lumia 920. Perhaps Chris installed a new anti-Nokia filter

I knew it, damned Apple Genius was right. The world is out to get me since i jumped ship from iOS 
Can you blame me though? I though I only had to the 21st.

Using my IE8 (WinXP, SP3) I can log in when I hover the mouse over the "Sign in" link in the top right corner and fill out the pop-up login form. But if I click on the "Sign in" link and try to log in from the "Member Log-on" page, I get the hamster error just as on my phone.
Unfortunately I don't know how to get the "hover log in form" to stay open when I use my phone.
After reading the post from H.Brydon above, I tried clearing the cookies on my phone and using relaxed settings (accept all cookies, do not send "Do not track request to websites"), but it still fails.

No, it is working. Sorry, I forgot all about this.

I finally got an Android Tablet and can not login here @ CP.
I figured 2 different behaviors:
- Answering in Q&A with entering Nick & PW -> nothing happens
- login via link top right corner -> CP Error page is shown.

I just got my Nexus back from a mate who was borrowing it to keep his 2 year old sane. I'll dig in tomorrow or Tue and see what's happening.
(I know this doesn't help one little bit, but it works perfectly fine on my iPad!)

what OS is your device running? I just tried it with my nexus running 4.2 and it worked first time. I'm stuck.

I was now able to login with the tablet. I don't know what has changed, but it works today.
Thanks for the fast action!

If by "fast action" you mean staring at the code with a dumb look on my face and scratching my head, then you're welcome.

Hey, you just gave the computer the chance to thing about what it did...
hmm, I had tried different things before, something changed now.
Maybe just because I told my WLAN to use full power...

Whilst I understand the reasons behind the voting changes in the lounge, I feel there is a 'Middle Way' to express approval/disapproval in the Lounge.
Have a simple  or  for the posts.
These would not be linked to the reputation metric for the user, but would, in essence, show the popularity/derision for a post.
It would be a community expression to reward the helpful/humorous/original thinking/lateral logic/just plain genius etc that we all enjoy, and would mete out opprobrium to the weak/poor taste/badly conceived/arrogant/obnoxious/offensive posts that we, as the regular visitors, could offer the reward/punishment we see fit.
It would only be measured against the individual post, so it would help to define the kind of inputs to the forum that we enjoy, and would help make a declaration of what was not seen as appropriate.
There have been many posts of late where I have wanted to upvote because of various reasons and feel cheated somewhat that I am unable to reward in some way the perceived cleverness of the OP.
what do others think?

I think Chris has gone a long way to proving that we can live quite happily without the voting system.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I would still want to have 'upvotes' to see and mark good posts. Upvotes helps in selective reading.
