Menu changes, and the article layout has changed. Of course, the article layout change completely grenaded my CPAM stuff...
Wehn are we gonna get an appropriate web service for retrieving article information?

It's just moved up the list, thanks to this re-org finally being out of the way.

Any chance we can see specs early? and maybe then also suggest a few extra's?
|
|

There are no formal specs but I am more than happy for you guys to put together a wishlist - maybe as a tip n' trick titled "CodeProject API [Suggestions] (which could then move to [Draft])
Make it editable by Gold or above members to allow collaboration.

I just got something started. I currently have a five page Word document, and I expect to finish it at an estimated 10 pages by Sunday. I plan to upload it then, and have it discussed (not: edited!) in a thread on my profile page. I'll somehow signal the few people I want involved (yourself, John, DaveAuld, Nish). Does that sound OK to you?
|
|
|
|
|
eek!
(Sounds perfect. No promises, obviously, but far, far better to work on something knowing it's what you guys want and need rather than shooting in the dark)

When you guys go into the design phase for this, I'd like to offer some input. I'm sure Luc would like to as well, since we both have projects that would benefit from it.

I just noticed one of my reputation scores switched to silver (cool!) and so I hit the reputation info page.
It mentions that there is a 500 point reward for winning a competition. Is that for all competitions on the site, or just the monthly articles? I won that Zune HD for tips & tricks on VS2010 but didn't get the points. Not really too concerned, just thought I'd ask.
Cheers,

I don't think the special contests are included yet (just the normal monthly ones).

We haven't hooked up all competitions correctly yet. As soon as we do this (hopefully today) your points will magically, mystically appear.

you must be quite busy getting out of there, moving to your backup infrastructure far away from GTA, with the upcoming quake-20 and all that.

Toronto is closing down because of either the G20 or earthquake fear. Not sure which at the moment.

I noticed it some time back... but was just being lazy putting it up here!
I found that, whenever we search something, lets say "Multiselect", i get around 8 pages. I move on to page 2... 3....4. I get what i was searching for and thus open that in a new window. (Please note i am currently at page 4.)
Now I go ahead and change the search text to "Cascading", in total 16 pages are returned. But by default i am on page 4 only. Though i searched something new, i was still at the old page number (it's expected that after a new page, pagenumber is reset to 1)
Consequences:
1. I searched 'Multiselect' went till page 4, couldn't find my stuff. Thought of adding more words to search criteria.
2. Without moving to page 1, being at page 4, i just go ahead and type 'Multiselect Dropdown'
3. I get 'No results for this search have been found.'
This is WRONG. Actually there are two pages and around 14 search results. Now since i was at page 4 before searching this text, internally it tried to show page 4 of the new search result which does not exists and thus 'No result'
This needs a fix! i.e. Page needs a reset to zero whenever a new text is searched.

Who would vote that a 1.
Have a 5 to compensate

Using the platinum members "Uploads" feature (in its current state) isn't viable for what I have in mind, and neither is creating unfinished articles, so I propose the following:
I have an idea regarding the programming forums - add the ability to attach a single file to an original post. To avoid using up disk space, automatically delete the uploaded file after a reasonable period of time - like maybe 2 days. This way, if someone posted a message and needed to upload code for someone to look at, the OP could go back and attach a small file.
Here are some rules I would suggest:
0) Only allow the file to be attached to the original message. This will prevent other users from
1) Allow the OP to re-attach a file if necessary
2) Restrict the file size to 1MB
3) Only allow ZIP files
4) Scan the zip file for EXE and DLL files (and other file types that are used to convey viruses), and reject the upload if the ZIP contains any of the banned file types.
5) Kill the upload after N days (the user can always re-attach a file if the question hasn't been answered).
6) Any message older than 30 days would not allow further file attachments.
7) If the user wishes to attach a different file, the previously attached file is deleted.
This would allow a more collaborative aspect to the programming forums.
EDIT =================
Three days and no comments?
