Dang, you're quite right, I must clean my specs.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

Came here to report the same thing. Just that I tried "custom" tag as well but that didn't help too.

Tried to use it in previous post; had no effect.
Never mind.

Yes, it is!

That's interesting. Alternate browser shows it small, but not FF3.6. Can you try it in FF?

Found it. My friend tweaked my settings.

What's the deal with the bookmark star? Seems kind of redundant, what with the member dropdown menu having My Bookmarks.
Maybe a better use for that space would be to display total rep points. I'm sure that would please [cough, cough] some members.

Or a MVP badge or Mentor badge... 
As such, badges should be displayed consistently acorss the website. (They are not shown in Q&A but in Threaded forums)

How about a scrolling marquee? Rep points, site news, and the latest BJOTD.

Sounds good! 
BTW, please don't forget to add some various sports current score to it.

Brilliant! An optional marquee for cricket! This could also serve to alert members to new job postings in the C++ forum!

I have to agree with you Hans.
I think it looks out of place and makes the bar 'untidy'. I would like to see it go.
|
|

I agree. That star there looks awkward, maybe Chris accidentally drag/dropped it there or something.
|
|

|

Either that, or he is homesick and is trying to mimic the stars on the Australian flag?

The big message box says Article Moderation: Should this article be published?
Then below that it says: Moderate this article: and an icon. Does this mean Yes, approve this article for public viewing? The text seems to indicate that the article would advance to some kind of "moderation" status.

I will tweak

How to build a .Net softphone in C# with SIP, SDP, RTP and RTCP[^], which is waiting approval utilizes a paid-for library.
I am not sure about this and so would appreciate it if someone else would take a look.

Which library? Is there a free version available?

This[^] one. There appears to be a free trial but no free version per se.

There is no longer a moderation option that says "advertises a commercial product", only spam/abusive. This one is neither (I reported it earlier today via that anyway, but I wonder if it was the appropriate selection)
|
|

|

It's also not clear from the web site whether you can use the free trial indefinitely, or whether it somehow "expires". If it expires, then yes, it's definitely commercial.
OTOH, what if some member wants to discuss a commercial library or tool - one that he wasn't connected with in any way. I would be interested in what he has to say, since a recommendation from a member has more value to me than a paid-for advertisement.
So, barring vendors touting their own products, I think members should be allowed to write about any library, tool, or book they wanted to, since this would add content of value to the community. After all, this is no different than people asking in the Lounge, "Hey, can anyone recommend a library to do X?", except that an article would give a more in-depth answer.
[update] Articles written to complain about a product should not be allowed for obvious reasons. [/update]

I didn't think of that, I posted a comment there. A feature-limited free version would be nice, looks interesting.
However, it would be difficult to ascertain whether the author is really unconnected with the product.

Yes, of course. This will always require an editor's judgment.
Current policy restricts any articles discussing a commercial product. IMHO, both CodeProject members and also CodeProject itself lose from that policy..
"How is that, Hans?", you ask.
Indivara, it's like this: If the product's vendor is currently paying to advertise on CodeProject, they will be pleased to get a positive independent recommendation for their product. If a competitor sees the article, they will think, "Our competitor is advertising on CodeProject, and now they've gotten an endorsement from an IT professional. We better start advertising on CodeProject ourselves." For members, of course, such an article will be like having a fully detailed answer to a question posted in the Lounge. If the article author is a Lounge regular, people will see that this is an independent recommendation, and not a vendor's spam.
I personally pay close attention to recommendations posted in the Lounge by regulars, because I know that they are speaking from their own experience. It would be incredibly helpful to have more details than just, "Yeah, buy this one."
