Merchanside Trollslayer8-Jul-04 22:22 Trollslayer 8-Jul-04 22:22  Chris, bearing in mind the site load and finance issues where can I go to buy a CP t shirt ? Black of course, not white and preferably fitted. Ta. Elaine (non-naturalist fluffy tigress) The tigress is here Re: Merchanside Navin9-Jul-04 6:39 Navin 9-Jul-04 6:39  Along those lines - there is a CodeProject Stuff link on the main page, but to be honest, I find the selection of items pretty paltry. As you suggest, a few other color schemes for shirts would be nice. And I would definitely buy a water bottle (athletic-type, you know, like you'd carry around hiking or put on a bike). Possibilities for other items are endless! "Fish and guests stink in three days." - Benjamin Franlkin CP Status Page? Rocky Moore8-Jul-04 10:10 Rocky Moore 8-Jul-04 10:10  I know there have been alot of issues lately and many growing pains. Do not know if this has been suggested before (only pages a few pages of posts), but how about a Status Page, this would simply give a server status or any known current problems along with maybe a status of how the next generation of CP is going. Could help lower the number of posts in the Lounge from people (like me) always wanting to know how things are going Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com Code Project is slow... theJazzyBrain8-Jul-04 1:23 theJazzyBrain 8-Jul-04 1:23  Dear CPians, I am have been using CP for around 1,5 years... I live in Greece and evre since CP ganed hosting servers, pages load very slowly. Sometimes pages might not load at all... As a result I have stoped using it. Just wanted to let you know...;P theJazzyBrain Excellence is not an act, but a habit! Aristotle Re: Code Project is slow... Bob Stanneveld12-Jul-04 13:34 Bob Stanneveld 12-Jul-04 13:34  So you stopped right after 7:23 8 Jul '04? A student knows little about a lot. A professor knows a lot about little. I know everything about nothing. Re: Code Project is slow... PaleyX14-Jul-04 10:35 PaleyX 14-Jul-04 10:35  I agree, it is almost unusable - this is the first time in several days I have been able to get on. Mostly pages won't load at all and if they do it takes ages and then that's it - I can't go any further. I used to refer to this site a lot but rarely use it now which is a shame as when it worked it was the best resource out there. Rugby League: The Greatest Game Of All. Re: Code Project is slow... theJazzyBrain14-Jul-04 11:58 theJazzyBrain 14-Jul-04 11:58  Yup... Wonder if they are going to do anyhting... Chris usually looks after his website... Let's hope theJazzyBrain Excellence is not an act, but a habit! Aristotle Re: Code Project is slow... varnk15-Jul-04 3:33 varnk 15-Jul-04 3:33  I am also noticing an extreme slowdown of the CodeProject web site. This has just started within about the last 3 weeks. It is almost unusable now. I am hoping that this site doesn't go down. It is an excellent resource for programmers. The site is great, just fix the slowdown problem. Re: Code Project is slow... DotNETpower8-Sep-04 0:08 DotNETpower 8-Sep-04 0:08  Maybe it would be nice to add a subscription where you would be paying an amount of fee a year and you have an instant connection all the time ?. (for each 1000 users 1 server for example ?) and anonymus would be dropped onto the free servers. Atleast I would be prepared to pay for it (do not tons ofcourse ). ASP.NET Caching for New CodeProject Heath Stewart7-Jul-04 17:18 Heath Stewart 7-Jul-04 17:18  The site seemst o be crawling more and more these days, despite the number of active members not changing much. I know that an ASP.NET CP is in the works (being planned, whatever), so may I suggest that whoever is working on it definitely read-up on caching in ASP.NET. In ASP.NET 2.0, for example, you can even use the SqlCacheDependencyItem (something like that; don't have the 2.0 docs open right now) to help the message forums quite a bit (well, not the lounge since it changes frequently). Effective caching could definitely benefit CP. As it stands now, I spend more time waiting for pages to load than posting replies.   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles Article Ratings - again peterchen7-Jul-04 6:57 peterchen 7-Jul-04 6:57  Idea: Each new article starts out with a rating of 3, silver member. Reasoning: IMO the rating works well in the long term. However, the first fistful of votes have an immense effect on article perception and visibility (and thus, how it can acquire new votes). An automatic initial vote would reduce the effect of the initial votes, while not affecting the long term behavior or preferring any article. The "start vote" would ideally: keep the long term behavior in tact reduce the "peakiness" of the initial votes (and thus look more fair) can turn the "recent articles that got a single 5 vote" list into an actual "latest best picks" still allow outstanding articles to rise, and poor articles to fall quickly can be added fairly to all existing articles by a simple script (I hope) It can not Solve "hate ratings" alltogether (however, the effect of a single "knee jerk 1" is less) make everyone happier than before Remove all luck factors from vote acquisition Side Effects: The "average rating" will favor many votes over few. I understand that this is primarily the job of the "Popularity rating", but I think some of this would also help spread the top field a little bit better. (That's the main disadvantage I see) Example: Imagine an article that "deserves" the ratings 4 5 5 5, making an average of 4.75. Receiving votes in above order, however, reduces visibility (it's a 4/4.5 article, not a full fiver, and likely lose the "latest best picks" position. It will take longer to acquire those votes, after it will be no longer in the latest best picks or the recent updates. Receiving the same votes in different order will "promote" the article better, and thus attract much more votes. I didn't try any numbers _how_ existing articles would be affected, how "strong" the automatic vote actually is, etc. (The "power" can be regulated by the weight, from my "feel" for averages, a single vote is quite powerful in data sets<=10 elements) Just an idea to keep you busy, Chris. we are here to help each other get through this thing, whatever it is Vonnegut jr. sighist || Agile Programming | doxygen Re: Article Ratings - again Nish Nishant8-Jul-04 6:51 Nish Nishant 8-Jul-04 6:51  A most interesting and so far un-suggested idea Nish My take on gmail - Is gmail just a fashion statement? My blog on C++/CLI, MFC/Win32, .NET - void Nish(char* szBlog); My MVP tips, tricks and essays web site - www.voidnish.com Re: Article Ratings - again Roger Allen10-Jul-04 11:04 Roger Allen 10-Jul-04 11:04  This is a good idea, but it need a little modification. The inial vote of 3 will not be applied to an article once it has 5 real votes for it. This means that if an article does deserve 5, it will get to 5 after it has got 5 votes. If you vote me down, my score will only get lower Rank Articles by their comments count Mike Melnikov4-Jul-04 22:59 Mike Melnikov 4-Jul-04 22:59  I think that page views - can show instersting in the subject of article. rating,votes,popularity - shows better how reader like "the body" of article IMHO. comments - show how many people try to use/modify it,and represent "community" of the article. so count of comments can show us such communities Deleting profile entries Tom Archer3-Jul-04 13:32 Tom Archer 3-Jul-04 13:32  I want to delete the existing messages in my profile board so I can start blogging.

It'll happen. cheers, Chris Maunder Enough already Joe Woodbury1-Jul-04 18:35 Joe Woodbury 1-Jul-04 18:35  http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/mrumenu.asp?msg=865892#xx865892xx[^] Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J.

O'Rourke search filter Member 16714930-Jun-04 3:05 Member 167149 30-Jun-04 3:05  Your search filter doesn't work right. I select I only want C# and I get VB.NET and C++ also. Please fix this. It would improve the usefullness of your site and how much people have to sift through to get what they need. Re: search filter Member 16714930-Jun-04 3:14 Member 167149 30-Jun-04 3:14  I retract my earlier statement. The problem is ASP.NET. I only want C# ASP.NET. Could you break this out into C# ASP.NET and VB ASP.NET or change you query to an && statement to where ASP.NET and C# both have to be checked? OR be able to sort the filter by category where C# articles bubble together? Article email subscription? Rob Caldecott30-Jun-04 1:26 Rob Caldecott 30-Jun-04 1:26  It would be really neat if you could receive emails when anyone posts a response to an article - not just to a question you may have asked. For example, I am interested in ANY response/question posted to the recent WTL ClassWizard article and would rather have emails sent than have to keep remembering to check "by hand". The Rob Blog Virus Threat! Prakash Nadar29-Jun-04 20:32 Prakash Nadar 29-Jun-04 20:32  Most of the articles has downloadable version of exe file. what if the authors system is infected by some virus and he accidently posts the exe file with his article. Just a suggestion of scanning for virus when it is posted or uploaded on to the CodeProject server... Dont know wheather it is already done.. Regards.
