Yes, and that is why people will also create multiple accounts to rate posts. Right now they don't bother because they can vote with the same account that they use. Imagine what it would be like if only a percentage of the regular posters started doing it.
i don't think the problem would be as bad as you suspect. i've been reading SlashDot and Plastic (which have much more sophisticated ratings systems than CP) for years, and i've never seen or heard of people going through the trouble. sure, a person could do it. but, I think that anyone who would go through the trouble, would be someone who would probably mark him/herself as an a**hole in different ways. in other words - that kind of person would probably be on everyone's bad side already.

Code Project is great! I would like to create an internal "CodeProject" on our intranet. Any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks,
Phil

three easy steps...
1. Create your basic page layouts.
2. Write lots of cool scripts to make the site work.
3. get people to upload articles.

well that is more or less what i would do.
1. design the layout of my pages...style sheets etc.
2. plan the feature that i want in the website, and do the include code for that.
3. incorporate the code into the other pages.
4. somehow get articles on there.

If these are serious replies, then I am confused ... I realize that I need to do the layout, style sheets, feature planning, authoring articles, etc.
My basic question is: What software is used underneath CodeProject? Is it commercially available so that I can use its capabilities for me to use in building something similar to CodeProject on our intranet?

i know it sounds a bit sarcastic, but thats the process i would go through 
i dunno what software was used...but im sure any app capable of writing text files can be used.

If you'd like to see how it's done, check the articles section here[^], and download the source for the forums. This should give you a valuable learning tool for developing your own internal site.

My selected "Newsletter Topics" are: Site News, MFC/C++ articles, C# articles, and New articles.
Unfortunately (in my opinion), I still get ASP.NET articles. I suspect that's because there are "New" articles in the ASP.NET topic.
Perhaps I'm just confused, but how does the New articles topic interact with the other topics? If I select New articles does that mean all new articles? If so, what does unchecking ASP.NET do? I don't want all new articles--just the ones in the topics I'm interested in.
I don't know if anyone else would like it to work this way, but maybe New, Unedited, Edited, Updated, and Moved should be secondary filters applied to the main topics of C++, C#, and ASP.NET?
I'd also like to filter on the sub-topics, like Database, Mobile & Embedded, and others, but maybe that's too much for CodeProject to deal with?

Would it be possible to have some way of knowing just how much workload is there for the editors, so that when articles are in the "Unedited" section, there is some kind of idea how long it might be before they are moved to the permanent section.

Yes they are, but at some point any of the CP editors can review the article, make formatting adjustments etc, and they then get moved into the edited section.
This normally only happens to the good articles, although they the editors do seem to pick and choose.

As a former editor, I can answer this query. There is no queue or any sort of ordering for the unedited articles. An editor just picks an article, reviews and edits where necessary, then (using some forms) moves the article to its final destination in one of the edited sections. An article that's got bad grammar and formatting will likely stay unedited for a while; while an article that's perfectly typed, uses the correct CP styles and so on, is cake to review and will probably get moved the next time the section editor takes time to edit.

I discovered this occasionally trying to download file on new computer.
This doesn't prevent "abusing the limited resources", as claimed on the download screen, because anyone can register as a member. This looks annoying to a new user (I used CodeProject number of years before registering and I think this is the best solution). And this adds a lot of non-active user accounts to the CodeProject.

The policy is in place to prevent spiders from getting all the ZIP files. This is bad because someone can then get access to the files without generating ad impressions on CP pages. It's not meant to keep real people from getting the files. (And as you've noted, it's not... the membership has skyrocketed since the policy was started, but that's ok.)

Hey Chris,
According to the demographics, http://www.codeproject.com/script/profile/demographics.asp[^], there's 3800 of us in the UK is that enough for you to see if you can get us Brits a MSDN universal subscription discount from good ole' MS? It's really rather expensive over here - Universal is over £2000, or over $3000 
Cheers,
Barry

Does anyone else keep getting User Info Requests they haven't asked for?
Every now and then (actually four times this week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday mornings GMT and about half hour ago), I seem to get one message with the name of my article in the Subject (with spaces removed) and two User Info Requests for each message I've posted in that article.
The UIRs come from CodeProject Forums. The blank message seems to come from somewhere different each time. Today it was "CodeProject", earlier in the week "ds100" and a few weeks ago "SasaCZ".
I have to assume there's something automated (possibly targetted specifically at CP) looking for something, but what? Why? And can we stop it?

Why do message board posts here persist on displaying the *new* icon even on subsequent visits? I would have imagined there'd at least be a timestamp in a cookie so it knew when I had visted last. The site remembers my login no problem, surely these message boards couldn't have a new icon without some way to track what was new or not..
|

|

Do you have cookies enabled?
cheers,
Chris Maunder

Yes, in fact here's the data from it right now (last line mangled intentionally):
LastVisit
1%2F25%2F2003+10%3A53%3A22+PM
www.thecodeproject.com/
1536
226615296
29577624
530184256
XXXXXXXX
*
The question is, why would it think my last visit qas 1/25/2003, when it is in fact about 5 minutes ago. Note that because I have the cookie, I don't need to manually login - perhaps it is only setting the last visit date when I manually login?

The new "search all forums at once" feature seems quite nice, but i can no longer find a way to search for a complete phrase, only for groups of adjacent non-space characters. Any chance of getting this changed?

Once again, CP seems to be falling victim to it's own popularity.
Today, CP is nearly unuseable. It takes 30+ seconds between clicks and roughly half the time everything times out, and i'm left with a CP page with 0 messages.
Further, there's been an ongoing problem for many months when using Threaded view and threads which span multiple pages. Frequently, i'm sent back to the first page, even if i'm 20 pages in. Today, I've noticed that there is no way to see messages which span more than one page. Moving to the next page, the first entry is the next thread, not the continuing messages in the previous thread.
