The -60 does not worry me as much as the fact that Dave has not posted here since April 2009! Chris, you gotta do something about that!

Looks like a bug. I'll add it to the list. Thanks!

This is just a thought and maybe it already has been addressed or used to be this way and was changed (probably for a good reason)...so consider this more of a discussion rather than a suggestion.
first, let me say that CP's search seems to be the best forum search I've seen in a long time. Usually, with programming forums, it is easier to search the forum with Google rather than the built in search. Kudos to CP for that.
but it seems to me that if the search results were somewhat date sorted before relevance sorted would make it slightly better...
example, the following search:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Search.aspx?fid=0&kw=fantasy+baseball[^]
before I posted in the lounge resulted in the 2003 thread as the first result. I almost replied to it until I noticed the date.
I was thinking it would be nice to have results sorted by some very rough date order (perhaps by year)? And of course a simple note at the top of the above search result that says "No results from 2010" or something to that effect would be useful.
The reasoning is that many searches are for time sensitive subjects and it doesn't do any good to the person searching to see results from 7 years ago. Of course, on the other hand, this is a programming forum and many times those 7yo results are just as useful as if it were posted yesterday. So I guess its kinda a wash on that one.
thoughts?

I have thought about this also. Example (may not be real): Working with SQL 2008 I find that the answers to SQL 2000 is good for 2000 but will not work for 2008 thus an answer from 2005 does not always help.
I am not saying what is here is bad as I could not even get a result this if I tried.
Just my two cents.

One of the CP user posted one Q here: Some Question[^]
Code tag is not working properly. I tried couple of times... Preview shows all fine but when i update, it adds xmlns:asp="#unknown" !
At times, i had encountered that HTML does not work properly in it.

The sample markup was not HTML encoded within the PRE tags.
Copying the code, then cleaning out the code block including the PRE blocks and just re-pasting it fixes it all up. (assuming you are using a decent browser with javascript enabled)

Got it! 
looks like couple of more tried to fix that and failed until you made it look fine!

Where is the survey of the week? On the mainpage of Codeproject, when I scroll down, I see the Industry news-panel, an ad and that's it. No survey...

Yeah, but I don't see any survey at all, not this week's, not the last week's survey.

It shows only this week's survey on the main page. All the past surveys are here[^]
Maybe there is no survey this week, that's why it is not showing.

Yes, I know. i just meant, that if they just had forgotten to put up a new one, there should be at least last week's survey still be visible. Maybe Chris Maunder ran out of suggestions for questions?

It would be really cool if there was a visible indication somewhere an article that is the monthly contest winner, both in the article listings (wherever it shows up in a list), and in the title area of the article itself.
The in-a-list indicator could be an icon and (optionally) a special background color. As for article's title area, maybe a larger icon and which monthly contest the article won would be appropriate, I think.

Hello,
Why do the icon next to the name in the post listings (post title, icon, name, date/time) show only half sometimes? I am running XP64/FF.
Not a problem but would like to know.
Thanks

Not happening for me with FF3.5.3.
Version specific, or do you have an old style sheet cluttering up your cache?
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Get the same from time to time, using Windows7 and FF3.6
