Site News
One of the many features we've improved over the past few months is the system that allows you to flag stuff on CodeProject.com. If you see an article that needs formatting help, for instance, simply hover over the red flag, choose the option to report for formatting issues, and one of the editors will this report on their screen and dive into action.
Similarly, if you see a message in the forums that is inappropriate, a question in Quick Answers that, well, isn't a question, or a member who is spamming, then look for the red flag on the pages and help us to continue to improve the quality of the content even further.
Each time you help us organise the content you are awarded with rep points, and the more points you earn, the more you can do. We built CodeProject.com for you and want to ensure you get as much control as possible.
Don't forget: an iPad 2 is up for grabs in our HTML5 / CSS3 competition.
Oh, and, of course: Go Canucks!
cheers,
Chris Maunder
