That's because you are posting VB questions.

Hello,
Is it matter which type of question you are posting? or you mean to say only VC++ questions are worth to entertain?

Chris means that most of the guys hanging around at CodeProject are C++ or C# programmers. You can count the VB programmers here at five fingers (ok, the only one I know is Paul W  )

Isn't having a thread dedicated to VB a proof?

CodeGuru has file uploads - one per post. This is helpful if a code file is a little too big to sensibly post in answer to a question. As it is right now, we have to either 1) upload it to our web host (which not all of us have), 2)post it directly on the board (if it's text), 3) email it.

Allowing anyone to upload files opens a legal can of worms we're not fully comfortable in opening just yet. We can moderate articles fairly easily, but moderating file uploads for several hundred thousand message postings can get hairy. What happens if someone posts kiddy porn or a virus or whatever? We will be held responsible for it.
No idea how CG gets around this one.

How about uploading for at least Gold members? (ignore the fact, that my status is gold ) IMHO those members are known to be responsible
AFAIK currently only supporters and editors are allowed to upload files, aren't they?

Would you be held responsable if you did not allow anonmous file postings? Your profile of me has enough information to identify me, No? If I posted crap couldn't you turn me in?

The trick is policing it. It's a huge, huge drain on resources (and in fact we simply don't have the resources to do it).

Any way that the mail notification URLs could be changed to open in a new Window?
Particularly want to avoid Hotmails frame? Could a bit of Javascript be used?
Thanks,

You mean like Shift+click'ing on the link, or right clicking and selecting 'open in new window'?

That actually doesn't work with Hotmail. They hijack the entire URL and force you to view it from within their frame. 
Ex:
They turn this

Unfortunately Hotmail is looking for URLs then replacing the link's HREF with their own link which does the frames.
Your own way around is to copy the text of the link and paste that into the address bar of a new window.

1. Install Google Toolbar
2. Highlight URL and Rclick googlesearch
3. Google opens finding nothing but offers clickable link
4. Arrive at Code project with no frames and (therefore) logged in!!

Cool
Luckily I'm not stuck with hotmail for most things (just the stuff where I fear giving my e-mail will result in spam)

Have to be careful selecting it.
Go from right to left then up slightly to catch the CR from the line above though not the ':' - otherwise the context menu will be wrong

Better solution: install The Proxomitron (http://www.proxomitron.org/[^]) with the extended filter set. This adds a "new window" link to all links where you want to have it (among all gazillions of other features). Also kills tracking URLs, etc.

Preface: I love statistics (of course someone don't)
In the MSDN articles online there is a small histogram that shows the distribution of the votes. This is not applicable to CP, because the interface is different, but a link to a small pop-up window could be suitable the current layout, for the server/bandwidth load, and hopefully for you.
Just an image to show my idea.
