It's this one[^] I believe. The downloads work for me, although I have gotten (Gotcha) the error message in the OP before, just waiting for a few minutes worked. I guess it is some kind of server load/timing error.

That's the beta Code Project site. Try the link[^] off the "proper" CP site instead.

When there are new features to be tested, that is where they go and people use it to do the testing.

Hi.
I just replied to a question, then deleted the answer and replied again (with a more complete answer).
All of this within a couple of minutes, before anyone commenting or voting the first answer.
Currently that question:
- Tells 2 solutions are available.
- To anyone but me, shows only one solution, the last one.
- I can still see points being rewarded for the deleted answer.
By the way, I deleted and re-posted the answer because feeling an "improvement" (instead of editing that was not available) would have marked it as a second answer.
Regards,
Daniele.

Indeed... the same seem to apply to comments (1 point also for deleted ones).

Just wondering, since the previous newsletter was posted on 17 Dec 2012, should today's newsletter contain all the article/blog/tip additions and modifications during these three weeks?
Not sure but it looks like todays newsletter contains only last week history...

Hi Chris,
I see the list for MVP 2013 is released now. Thanks. 
Just a small request, can we have a small token from CP along with the certificate. It can be anything from a CP magnet to a small CP Tropy. What do you think?
Thanks for making CP an awesome place to collaborate and share.

That is just being greedy. The certificate is ample recompense. I, for one, say no to CP having to spend extra in the MVPs.

Neh. Just a suggestion for a feel good factor not driven by a greed. If I ask for $, yes, please do call so. 
Pete O'Hanlon wrote: CP having to spend extra
If it's about spending extra money, I for one am ready to pay for the token. I have doubts if others would say no. Can have a survey if needed.

If it's a token you want to pay for, head over to the CP store and buy a mug.

I have already bought 2 shirts there. Whenever I wear one, I'm clearly the coolest guy in the room.

So you're wanting it as an ostentatious display then.

No. That's not my intention.
I will place it at my home with my other stuff. Not for others, but for me.

No. I dont think this is what we are looking for.
Please read my reply posts to Richard and Nagy.
A small souvenir (keyring or cheap usb drive with bob's picture on it or any such item) adds a certain kick factor which is hard to explain - just like collecting stamps or matchbox cars or anything similar.
If its an award, the feeling is just nicer.

You have the certificate. What more do you need?
The certificate is only awarded to MVPs so it has that exclusivity factor. Surely that is enough.
Paraphrasing Richard, if trinkets are your motivation for MVPship, you're thinking about it the wrong way. If I wasn't awarded MVP, it would have no effect on me - I would still continue to write articles and answer questions - the reward is the satisfaction of knowing that you've helped people. If Chris cancelled the MVP status tomorrow, I would still know that I could help people.

Nope they are not. If they were, I would have stopped participating on CP a long time ago.
In any case, I would not be able to add anything else to this debate - if its against the principles of CP, then no more of it!

I'm not trying to be awkward with you guys, I appreciate exactly what you are talking about - I just don't think that we want to set a precedent that MVPship = rewards.

I don't think either of us want that either. That would affect the entire ecosystem here.
This site is not about rewards (especially not cash rewards).
