But if different users can create multiple accounts to post from the same IP address, but not to vote, isn't that a lot worse for potential abuse? Or are IP addresses unique to accounts for posting as well as voting? If so, then they way it is is fine for now. Liked your suggestion on fixing this by the way.

Yes, while I personally don't agree with the idea, that's the decision Chris has made.

Thank you
If you badly want to vote on a message (some of mine for instance), you could use Torpark as a temporary workaround. Guys like Kyle use it anyway - so we might as well put it to some good use.

Interesting, so as always, the bad apples have a workaround in place. I don't trust anonymizers. Maybe I'm just too paranoid. Not that I have anything to hide.

Unless you're living in a totalitarian state where anonymity and data privacy are illegal the only real risk you run is as a host if you're the last link someone else used while committing a cyber crime. Performance and stability are other matters entirely. A friend of mine uses TOR to access IRC (chat) despite his schools firewall blocking direct connections and he's rather badly unstable while doing so as boxes in the chain drop in and out of availability.

IT all boils done to trust and distrust, unfortunately the few that invoke distrust are the ones that ruin it for all of us.

for the search side, so I could better find new or/and good scored articles.

But that would be db-intensive for CodeProject forums. Isn't it?

I meant only the articles.
If I do a search with a keyword most times I find up to 100 articles, but I cant sort them for date or for score.

When there are thousands of people clamouring to get questions answered about PHP in a .NET environment then I'll add a board. Until then you need to get behind the DirectX guys in line.
In all seriousness I can have a board for everything under the sun. However, more boards does not equal a better experience. At least not until we have subscriptions to boards. Things just get lost in the plethora of options.

No fair, I was in line first, they cut in! (I think)
An btw I think is as good a time as any to ask your permission to make a community website for CP. Not anything to compete with what you have (and I would be happy to stick your ads up (as long as they don't cause too much lag)). I was thinking more of a member orientated sort of website. Would you be ok with this?

Doing a bit of multi-threading here:
1. Images not loading
2. Menu bar (Help!, Articles etc) scrolling with the page (for about 80-100 px)
3. Errors when posting
4. I was told not forum was selected when trying to post this
You guys doing maintenance or what?

Image problem solved (although I have noticed you have less ads) (maybe firefox has an ad blocker I don;t know about)

1. F5
2. Ctrl+F5
3. Should be better
4. What the...?
No maintenance, just a server went spazzo.

Ok it appears to be better (touch wood). When you say "server went spazzo"?
And finally I am interested in helping you guys out by being an editor, I posted about my attempt below...

Guys there are 2 things I have noticed:
1. I not receiving information on replies.
2. I tried to send an email to the address in the newsletter (regarding Article Editors) and I received a 550.

threads with new comments should be brought to the top i feel..the threads that deserve more posts also sink down,which results in them not being read much..

i don't think breaking the chronological order is a good idea.
however, we could have a new feature (such as "unanswered questions" in the programming forums)
which lists all the threads that contains new replies (so that we can read them even it they are at the 1000th page...)
what do you think of it ?
