Even those days have become bygone. With powerful dictionaries in the mobile, text messages do now can be well-formed valid English sentences without any obscurity or ambiguity of any kind. I don't think any providers in the word nowdays restrict the length of SMS too.

Yeah, the world needs yet another *nix discussion board. It's as if the other 25,000,000 boards out there haven't already discussed everything about *nix again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again ... continue until you puke.

More people are confused about running *nix than almost any other OS I have ever seen. Linux has over 1,000 distributions and all are installed and configured differently. AND because almost all are not commercial, they have little to no support, so the little support you do get comes from inexperienced people that understand it just enough to barely set it up themselves. I have seen more people have Linux nightmares than anyone will ever see happen to Windows users. I may be a little bias, but this is the truth.
I know I am going to be slammed for this post but any Linux user than slams me for this is, for one, on the wrong forum  , two, most likely using a commercial distribution, or three, one of the people who can barely set it up themselves.

Well the people who can barley set them selves up are less experienced users who shouldn't be using Linux. Linux is more for power users, not the everyday user.

At least with respect to Web Development overlap, you can use 'Web Development' forum. PHP, Perl etc. are occasionally addressed here.

there's a malformed HREF in the link to the message in question. ex.:
Do not hit 'reply' to this email</i></b><i>: To reply, click <a target=_blankhref="http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?msg=xxxxxxx#xxxxxxxxxxx">here</a>.</i></p>
there needs to be a space between the 'target=_blank' and the 'href='
|

Weird - I've never seen that. The notification for this email doesn't actually insert a target=_blank (at least not that I can see).
I'm scared...

hmm. interesting. i suppose it could be the webmail client i'm using - trying to make sure the links don't open on top of the mail message. i just assumed it passed the HTML as-is to my browser.
i'll investigate further.
sorry to scare you

I think it would be nice for a post starting a thread in a forum to be marked as "Solved" by his author, so that if he got the answer to his question, he could signal it.

That is already possible by the user pressing the modify button and then changing the title of the post - However very few do that. Very few people even take the time to thank the person that helped them - so I don't think they are going to take the time to mark a question as solved.

As an author it would be ineresting to be see the distribution of votes with a bar chart stating for the number of 1, 2, ... 5.
|
| |
| | | |
| | | | |
1 2 3 4 5
I had this in mind as I suspect some visitors to put a 1 on some articles they want to see going down in the stats (i.e. monthly competition, best articles, ...)
Any opinion ?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes I agree to you. It is a great idea. Some users are voting one just because they see some articles as competitors of their articles

Hi Sebastien,
Sebastien Ros wrote: ...to see the distribution of votes
I agree.
Another thing that bothers me - those who vote to bring an article's rating down, with no explaination of why (were the technical deficiencies, etc). With that said, I 100% agree with the anonymity provided by the system.

I think that only the sum of the votes and the number of voters are saved in the DB (or so would I have done it to spare some space), so that the information you require is not available anymore. But i am not 100% positive about that.

John Simmons said: Votes are weighted according to the voters member status. Platinum members have more weight applied to their votes than do gold, for instance.
Thus you must save some more information, i.e. the weighted number together with the number of votes. Don't you ?

Not necessarily: A is gold(5 for instance), B is bronze(3). C is normal. N number of votes, S=sum, R=Article Note
A votes 5, N=0+5=5, S=25, R=25/5=5
B votes 4, N=5+3=8, S=29, R=26/6=...
C votes 1, N=8+1=9, S=30, R=30/9=...

Since CodeProject tells me "You voted X on this article" when I visit an article I voted on a few months ago, I'm 100% sure the information is still available.

Would it be possible for you to create a system with articles where we could browse older versions of it and see changes?

Regarding article submission...
Uploading image files with the same name doesn't replace the previous ones with the same name( See here[^]). Zip files are replaced but jpg files are not replaced.
I have to rename these files. As a result I have too many of them, wasting space.

They are replaced. What you are seeing is browser caching. Hit Ctrl + F5 to force your browser to download the new images you uploaded.
