Add your comment about the new look and feel of CodeGuru

Hello,

I don't know if this is the appropriate place for this message but I hope not to bother anybody.

The new page design it consumes an important space on the left of the screen for data of the Web. When the samples code are visualized, some cannot be read complete and you should constantly move the screen to read the complete sentences.

This gets more complicated when you want to print the page, because the sentences are cut by the right and they are not printed complete.

Is there some solution to read the texts in the complete screen and that they are not cut in the printer?.

Thank you in advance.

boy, the ad execs, and other consumeristic peoples have brainwashed you.
Ads ADD to the bandwidth, of which there would be less wasted if there weren't so many frickin' ads !!!I have NEVER gone out, and bought ANYTHING because I saw it in an advert. In fact, I tend to avoid stuff in ads.

I take it that the falloff in postings in this Q&A forum is the sign that the site is just about dead as far as previous users go. I'm getting concerned that I've missed someone posting the new URL for the replacement "codejock", or whatever. Frankly, this site is now SO SLOW that I can't waste the time searching every posting for the URL (or anything else!) in case the author forgot to specify a new title in the posting.

Could someone please post the URL here so I can delete this bookmark? Thanks!

CodeJock is not a replacement for CodeGuru. It's an excellent collection of UI classes created by Kirk Stowell. CodeJock can be found at http://codejock.com.

Sucks. This single page is alomst 200k, biggest example of www bloatware I have seen in a long time. Lots of ads are not a problem but at least shrink this page down. Someone please take a look at the HTML generated by this machine and ask yerself what all the alt="*" are for? Anyone using Lynx here? Anyone? Thought not.

Still, now that Zafir is 12 super-big ones better of I guess his HTML hacking days are over -mine would be hehe.

Happy hunning Zafir...

Fonts are too big. List of articles in each sub categary is hard to read because what should have fit in one line is not broken into two. I have to scroll too much for what really is a short list. Please, this is a site for developers, should set a good example of good user interface.

This is a perfect example of people taking something great and making something sucky out of it. Bring back the old code-guru or all your advertisers will realize that no one visits this site anymore.

I agree... I hate this place now and don't plan on returning. This sucks!

1. Are submissions of new code being handled? The latest addition is still listed on 1/9. Could submissions sent since the sale of CodeGuru have been lost in cyberspace? I personally don't care who owns the site as long as it works like it has, and Zafir and Mark Schlack have repeatedly said that things will be fixed. But we are closing in on a point in time where things have to start shaping up before people will lose interest. The site is admittedly still a great resource because of all the code that's already here, but if nothing new gets added, people *will* eventually move somewhere else. If no changes are visible in say the next couple of weeks, I think that serious permanent damage will have been done. (Although I'm sure many people will say that the damage already has been done).

2. The site is slow. I'm not sure if anything has been done to make it faster, but it's still slow. However, don't judge the speed of the site only on this page. I'm not sure about this, but I would guess that it's auto-generated each time someone loads it, and since this is one LONG thread (354 replies last time I looked), it's bound to take some time to build it. But the fact remains, the rest of the site is also too slow.

3. This has been said by a lot of other people, but I'll repeat it anyway: GET RID OF THAT WAVY GREEN BORDER!

You say it. We need to have pity for millionaire Zafir. SHOW THE CODE. - Are you shareholder of EarthWeb?

Zafir,

If there isn't some new content, it won't matter how much time you spend on the site.....people will wander off in boredom.......

<said with big tears coming down your face and trembling lip> bbbbbb bbbbbbb baaaaa waaa haaaaa I'm tttttaking my code and I I I I'm ggg gg ggg going home.

I tell ya some of you "programmers" are really showing your true colors here. This should be a question on an application for a job

A large repository of code available on the web is bought up by a larger company. You then ...

A. Look for any reason how this could effect you in any way negatively and cry like a little baby and refuse to use that code and increase your project times because you have to write everything or at least figure everything out by yourself.

B. Look at what the major majority is doing and join them

C. Realize that as long as the code is still there and accessable its still a valuable resource and continue to use it.

You do not listen to the voices in this newsgroup or you are not allowed to!

People are just disappointed (wave, speed, ...) and afraid of looking to the copyrighted source code.
You should maybe state on the home page that: "Learn from the source
code on this site and do not afraid to use it in your own source
code."
Maybe make two sections, one with free code and other one with heavily
loaded $'s.

Thanks!

I found a site everyone can start posting too...there is not a lot of info on there currently, but they have a great interface, maybe we can all go there now.

Mr. Zafir:

I need all the old posts (before 1998). But I can't find these. How can I get these? Could you let us donwload these old posts?
Thank you very much!
