*Paul sighs*
CP+[^] came before Desktop Bob and was a simpler version. It does pretty much the same thing, listing new Lounge posts and Articles. I did it to prove a VB coder could do C++ (ok, MC++) and also to try out webservices etc.
The VS.NET add-in part of it is not working well. But the stand-alone version works very well IMO. Sits in my taskbar everyday allday giving me updates on CP.
Obviously I need to learn a thing or to about marketing from the maker of Desktop Bob

Chris, something similar has happened to me too. I have been with CP for the past 11 months (less than 1 year), have posted 0 articles, and posted 758 messages (including this one). I should have been silver even according to your comment above, but I have turned gold just a couple of days back.
I am not complaining, but I do feel guilty. I don't deserve the gold status yet. 
Regards,
Rohit Sinha

me the same !!!
this way i think it will be too easy to be golden and platinium members
I also suggest admins to add more categories to make them more than just four..

Hi, Gurus,
I got a little problem trying to set password on Access DB which runs on CD for distribution. Because the database file is on CD, so it is READ ONLY. But when I try to read data from this READ ONLY database file using ADO code, I got the password error. And the code was running fine on my hard drive without the READONLY setting.
Anyone can tell me how to solve this issue.

I don't think that you can. Anytime you access the mdb file with a password the system tries to create a lock file (ldb?) in the same directory and it can't if your DB is on CD.

I see in the lounge that many CPians are in pain when the site is partially down, when the sysadmins updates the scripts, or something in the servers.
I think that in that situation, changing the top logo with the image of Bob with the hammer (used for the Site Builders icon ) could help to calm the anxiety.

Half question, Half suggestion.
I'm sure like some other visitors to the site I have been working on some academic type stuff. Some of it is integrated into C++ code examples and some not.
Many of them are not my own Algorithms, put in code but examples and tests of others Algorithms.
Most of codeproject seems to focus towards stuff with a practical application in mind. However most of the algorithms will never see a real use. (Partly because not many study them.)
So should Academic stuff be placed at CP or not?
If so where the scrap-book?

Absolutely. If there's enough then I'll place them in their own section. ATM there is an 'algorithms' sub section in the C++/MFC section (www.codeproject.com/cpp).

I personally think it'd be pretty cool to get some more articles that have an academic background to them, or at least that are more "algorithmically orientated" rather than just "here's a cool UI widget" - I really enjoyed your vector class for instance. I guess it's just that a lot of programs today are just "lets make a database and a pretty interface" but some of the compsci stuff is also pretty interesting.
If I ever get time I might try and contribute something like this, but it's not gonna happen anytime soon 'cause I'm sooo busy at the moment

Great idea!
One of the reasons I still hang on to back issues of DDJ is for the annual Algorithms issue. Algorithms are all too easy to find on the web, but they usually exist as free-standing code with little theoretical development to explain their usage. A library of CP-style tutorials, augmented by actual code, would be an invaluable reference, and a fun one to contribute to for members who have obscure interests. We have some now, but they're spread all over the place, depending on the language used for implementation, application area, or embedded in larger projects. Let's put them all in one central place for easy reference!

very cooool idea ..
Some non-academic programmers (like me) need this...
go on and let us read your first Article soon

It would be interesting to see more stats beyond the "most recent best rated" and all-time articles/comments submitted. Some suggetsions:
1) A section "This week on CodeProject":
- New articles sorted by popularity
- Updated articles sorted by popularity
- Most active users (articles and comments)
- Most active articles (by number of new comments)
2) Overall author ratings (average of article ratings?)

Chris,
as I know you get all messages that come into this forum, take a look at the articles/request forum where another user has reported article downloads installing backdoors to their PC.
Not sure you would have seen it otherwise.

The text areas shown on the "reply to message" page don't size to the width of the screen like on the modify and new message forms. Could this be changed please? If you have a high screen resolution then it is a pain to scroll this little box on the far left of the screen so much when there is all that screen real estate being unused.

How would you like the message composition window to be a WYSIWYG editor instead of a plain text editor?

Well that depends on whether I'd be allowed to steal borrow it for bttlxeForum...
I don't know, is it necessary?

No - it's absolutely not necessary - and may even be a PITA. However, I've added the DHTML formatting buttons which seem popular, so going one step further and just making it a bit more seamless may make sense. I'll probably do a small trial and see.
cheers,

Sounds like an invitation for HTML masturbation... But, it might make it easier to post code.
How 'bout just shortcut keys for the formatting buttons?

That is exactly my concern. The version I'll trial will be very restricted in what it offers. It will be there to simplify, not complicate.
