I think it'd be best if an article can be included in multiple categories, or perhaps for authors to put 'tags' into their articles, like 'SharePoint', 'C#', 'ASP.Net'.
Therefore we can expand this categories easily.
Not sure whether this has been done or not.

It would be nice to be emailed when a particular article changes. If we see something that looks really cool, then we could put a watch on the article.

There are times when people may want to break an article into shorter parts rather than one totally huge file, almost like chapters in a book. Because such articles will be related, they would often link to one another. Such articles may be posted at the same time.
My suggestion is to support a permalink feature so that when the article gets edited and moved, it does not break links that might be in other pages. This could also be used in the outside world so that permalinks could be used rather than pointing directly to the article.

How about posting the number of results returned from a search, so you know how many pages you might be looking at?

By default, the News/Info tab is selected instead of the first. Is there a reason for that? Also, instead of "latest threads" below it, could you change it to "latest whatever" based on the icon, please. I know the icon descriptions are at the bottom, but it would be easier to see the text description with the summary.

Helps reduce reposting the same news item/link I guess.

Then maybe the summary needs to contain only links that don't appear on that page?

Some people use 10 posts/page (I used to in India), others use 25 or 50. So it's hard to decide what a page is (though it can be shown on a per-user basis - too much extra load though). I like it better this way.

Hope this is isn't redundant. When I click on the Results link to the VB .NET article competition for June the survey is displayed instead of the results. Do I now have to participate in the survey before I can see the results? Since I have an article in the competition, I prefer not to vote.
Thanks ... George

Since the update of the design, the "updated" date isn't shown anymore on article pages (The "posted" date ist still there.)

Kinda.
I wish I could be more specific.

I suppose there's a lot of considerations to be made for such a feature. After all, we really don't need 3431 different snippets on how ::CreateFile() works.
How about a Wiki, with predefined sections and subsections? I for one would love that.

How about a sticky thread in the Lounge about the site changes. It might stop the tens of threads that are being started on the subject,

No, it would just flood all the other lounge threads down to page 9 after a day or two.

Michael wanted a sticky thread, not a sticky message.

A colleague of mine mentioned today that having discussions/blogging/etc can be harmful when it comes time to get a new job, because HR people search for you online to see what your personal views are. They can then silently use that information against you, "Sorry, the position has been filled (...and you're a liberal hipster with a pet cobra)."
What better place to look up how someone thinks about a wide range of topics than to go to that person's CP profile and view their message history log! I think that the message log should be restricted to CP members only. At least that would make it more of an effort for some HR person to snoop around. Perhaps there could also be a constraint, such as, you can't view a message log until you've been a member for a day or week.
What do you think?

No way. I firmly believe if you're going to post something in a public forum you should be willing to stand by it. Too many times people assume they are anonymous or not subject to social niceties simply because they are on the other end of an ethernet cable. I'm very much against absolving people of responsibility for their own actions.

That wasn't my objective, really. I agree that people shouldn't feel free to go around posting that people are a-holes and c-suckers. I am more concerned with an innocent statement such as "I think the war with Iraq is unnecessary." Political views like that are the type of thing that an HR person can use to filter out resumes, based on his/her personal views. There's no need to be absolved of a statement like that, it's just an opinion.
But, in the end, it's your site, so, whatever.
