It would be cool if you could have a "search code" option that would bring up all projects which include some API call, COM interface, etc. This would require you to process the zip's that get uploaded and then build up a search index for them automatically. But that could be super helpfull.

Since this is a programming fourm, can we add a section that teaches skills. Most of the article out here are informaitonal; designed to educate a knowlageable programmer on how to inprove their skills. There are very few article where some starter code is given and the article is equvallent to a chapter in a text, and maybe a test application is also given. Maybe this is a good themed article of the month contest?

One of the most annoying things in HTML pages is the horizontal scrollbar. One way to ensure that text in table cells do not force the table to expand is to use the following style for all tables that need it:
<table style="table-layout: fixed; word-wrap: break-word;" width="500">
This will force any long hyperlinks to wrap around instead of expanding the table width. Note: CSS is preferable to this, but I sure as heck wasn't going to add a CSS file in here. Also, the width can be changed as suited. 
My 2 ¢s.

I say that it would be cool if there were a number on the thread you post in the messageboards which tells you how many people have viewed your thread.
You may now add that.

Hi,
I'm just wondering how do I know the status of the submitted article? I've submitted the article on submit@codeproject.com. Do I suppose to receive any email from Code Project? How long it takes to see my article online?
Regards

Normally, it takes 1-2 working days before an article gets published/updated, but on occasions due to heavy backlog, it might take a little more than that (and on such occasions an email is sent to the authors letting them know of the possible delay).

I agree. I've submitted my article on Monday morning and now it is wednesday afternoon here. Still no response from Code Project and I don't know where is my article

A reply was sent to pankajchitriv @ rediffmail.com asking you to re-send it in .zip format.

This depends on the current backlog. Unfortunately we're down to one full time editor so things have been a little tight, but we have two more waiting in the wings so we're hoping to have more reviewing and editing done soon.
cheers,

The backlog is pretty tight as of now, so URCs are 2nd priority for now.

I agree that VB users need equal rights on Code Project.
When you search for articles and code, the only options are MFC/C++, C#, ASP.NET and .NET. For VB users, we need to check .NET and weed through the articles to find VB code. 
Other than the search capabilities I think Code Project is great and have received so much information using the Message Boards that I cannot express my thanks to the staff for having this site for our use. I just wish the speed of the site could be better, and the search capabilities could be enhanced. 
Thanks!

I agree, in the past I have had to use VB so that other non C# programmers could edit and update what I wrote. I think VB does need more of a presence here at CP.

I did notice that Chris Maunder seems to monitor this forum for suggestions.
My question to Chris is:
Is Code Project working on a way to add more searching capability for those of us who are looking for code and articles related to VB.
Maybe we're the minority. Are the members who look for C+ and C# articles a much larger percentage than the VB members? 
Just a suggestion.
While I'm up on the soap box... I just wanted to add that I really do feel that Code Project is an excellent site. Keep up the great job!

VB, no, but VB.NET, yes, absolutely.

Yes, when I said VB, I meant VB.NET ... not 6.0 or prior.
Thanks for the reply!

Nowadays VB means VB.NET; to refer to unmanaged VB, you gotta explicitly say VB6. At least that's how it is in the blogs and newsgroups

Users have asked if they can get replies to any subsequent message thread that someone posts to a thread that they created, and have been told that that is not feasible. I was wondering how feasible it would be to add checkboxes to the left of message thread subjects so that the user can reply to any number of users that are parents to that thread? Basically, the following is what I had in mind.
_ Original Message
Some Response #1
x Some Response #2
x Some Response #2.1
x Some Response #2.1.1
When the user clicks on a thread to reply to it, s/he can click on a checkbox to reply to all descendents down to that thread. If s/he holds down shift, then only individual threads are selected and not all descendents. The currently opened thread is always selected by default, or it is assumed that once you reply, it will get selected.

You want legalised cross-posting? I'd be tar'd and feather'd.
The issue with the email subscription is that we'll need a background service to constantly poll the message board looking for new replies. When it finds them it gets a list of people who should recieve an email for that message, and then it should send the email. Really simple, but simply not yet done.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

I think you misunderstood me Chris, wouldn't want you tarred and feathered.  I'm not talking about receiving messages everytime there's a reply to your thread, but when a person posts a reply to a thread, it would be nice if s/he can reply to x amount of threads that are parents of this. Thus, each thread should have one unique direct thread above it and the total number of threads is finite. By clicking on the checkboxes to select the parents (and only the parents of that thread, no cross-threading or cross-breading ), you do a reply to those threads selected.

Basically, this will be a one time thing. No need to poll what new threads are coming in. Instead of Code Project listening for new threads, it is the user who decides whom s/he wants to reply to. This is like Cc-ing multiple users all at once. Unlike the service, this is a one-time thing statically done.

Another thing, if there were checkboxes next to the thread above this (the one I replied to) and all the above ones, I would have selected your name and been able to send you an e-mail. Of course if I selected multiple threads of mine, I wouldn't want multiple e-mails, but only one to be sent per user.
