Not a bad idea, if the OP is still in trouble they can ask again, but others still have the opportunity to view the Q and any relevent A's.
BTW I did like JSOP's take on it with his provision of an alternative question!

Why is it odd for a member to go around answering questions?
We should be encouraging this.

Those questions were already answered and resolved an year ago. The response added does not add to the solution in any way.

Few days back, I saw few 6+ months old question being edited. Answering might be fine, editing?

Ideally, the questions/answers should be like a wiki... a source for others to search and find answers when they encounter similar problems. Editing old questions seems like a wortwhile endeavor to me.

Nish,
I can see this in the forums, but I can't find it in Q&A (for future reference) where the OP was made. Can you give me a pointer to the area it's in?

Sorry, my mistake.

No probs, I though I was going blind!

If it's a really really crappy topic, I usually just delete it.

Cheers for that. It turns out I do have godlike powers of delete after all

I think a chatroom would add to the community feel of The Code Project.
I think language related chatrooms would detract from the forums or Q&A boards. However, I think an open format chat room where programmers can chat about open topics and discuss various off topic subjects would really add to The Code Project.

He means an actual chat room (IRC model chat) rather than discussion forums.

I've never used a proper chatroom (the benefit of being a dinosaur) and cannot see what it would bring to the site. Can you imagine what it would be like with [add your favourite CPian's name] given free reign in such an environment?
BTW I was not one of the univoters on the OP.

Well, IRC chatting was kinda popular in the early 90s, and maybe the late 80s (via BBSes), so if you pre-dated that you must really be one of the early dinosaurs
And yeah, I don't support this site running a public chat room either. In my experience, it only works well for a very small group (12 or less).

Leo III machine code, keyed in manually from the mainframe front panel. I then advanced to self booting programs fed in on paper tape, and thence to the wonders of Intercode (a sort of assembler). The first high level language I worked on was Cobol some time around '68/69 on a Univac 1108.
