When I just saw Notification Window[^] I couldn't help but notice how this article already got two good votes (and probably well deserved, haven't checked). Now articles of this size usually don't even make it published because the article is to short! "Article too short, consider reposting as tip"... And I have said this quite some times as well. The usual answer "I can't post my code in the tip/tricks section". As far as I can see this is still the case (or have I missed something?).
It seems very unfair to me that some short articles make it big while most never get past the moderation queue (even though both have good code).
I also think it is limiting for developers who obviously have written good code, but do not have time or skills to write a good long article about it, but still want to publish their code for others to use and learn from.
It seems logical to me that tip/tricks can have downloads just like articles can.
And is it a good idea to maybe have something like "code only 'articles'" for all those people who write brilliant code, but not articles? Perhaps with a minimum of x (100 or so) words to force these people to at least shortly write what the code does.
Just some idea's

Just saw the white background on the left-hand menu for the forum that is currently active. Neato!
Hey Nish, has that been around a while too?

Well seems new to me. Although now that you've posted this here, history indicates it may have been there for a while now.

It's barely more than a couple of years old, so yes, pretty new

I need to see while I type. I should look up more often.

Under the "Rate this article" section, no radio buttons appear. Clicking on the "Vote" button says, "There was an error while trying to rate this item. Please try again later." My account uses a confirmed email address.
Edit: this works fine in Firefox.

Hi,
In Question-Answer section when we post Answer, their is a small link - "Have a Question or Comment?".
Many times due to Questioners are new to site, they could not recognize this link and they post their feedback or additional comments as a New/Separate answer.
May be because this link is so small and not that easy to recognize for New users. 
How if CodeProject provide Big/Bold Button - "Reply to Answer", so that it can be recognized by new users(Questioners) and that may improve flow of discussion on posted Answer. 
Thanks

I don't know what's going on, but I need to report this. My article's source code is being downloaded many times while I type this. The download count's gone crazy:

Thanks Chris! Also, to be fair I don't deserve all those CP points, so feel free to fix that to.
BTW I like the band-aid-fixed icon

Please see this question[^] in Q&A, the onlogin-bit is turned into önlogin somehow. I saw this earlier in other posts and I believe, this has also been reported some while ago here.

The first tag inside the second pre block was not correctly formatted.
It went like <fb: ..., but when encoded to <fb: ... the corrected o was not turned into a ö.
Mysterious nevertheless!
