The search facility is a mess! It used to be very easy to turn up useful information; now I can't seem to find anything relevant. I just want to search only the section I'm interested in, and if there are no results, I want to continue searching just that section - not all of developer.com etc.
Like others, codeguru used to be my first point of reference. Now I'm looking elsewhere.
1. That left margin is awful! AHHHHH!!!!! Somebody up there has really wretched taste!!
2. Too many adverts. I can't keep my brain focused on what I'm reading.
3. All in all, WAY too much extraneous information in margin menus, ads, etc.
This used to be a developer's site. It's being morphed into an ad site with some information as an excuse to browse it.
With netscape I have a Bad Request at the beginning and at the end of each page and when I try to print an article it never ends.
The left part is too big so with some articles I have to scroll horizontally (awful).
For me the most important thing about a web site is speed not look: this is professionnal site.
The old is far better.
Please Revert back to the old one.
Search is returning no documents for the string
for which it gave many results.
I hate this
Hey Zafir - if you have sold CodeGuru then I am pleased for your sake that you have some well earned cash. Earthweb clearly sucks, and everyone is going to be on the lookout for a codeguru equivalent. Why not go and start another one up?!
Very good idea, but perhaps Zafir can't do this himself... We can perhaps do this ourself ! What about the appartenance of all the sources on codeguru ?
Hi,
It would be beneficial for all regular users if a Login and pwd edit fields are displayed the moment they visit codeguru. This will enable them to login and immediately go to the appropriate discussion area.
Thanks,

Please remove the fancy stuff such as the undulating left margin. It is extremely annoying and it takes too much space. Concentrate on:
(1) speed
(2) quality of material
(3) timely updates
I've just finished reading the messages posted here. I must agree with ALL of them, even without seeing the whole site. I (used to) use this site on a regular basis and have always found it very useful, but now it seems that many of the people that contributed are going elsewhere - and I'll probably do the same. Which is a great shame since Codeguru _was_ the best developer web site.
More importantly though why hasn't there been any responses from the new "controllers" of the site? I'm sure everybody would like to hear what EarthWeb have to say about the issues raised in these postings.
I hope things improve.... rapidly.

please remove the background picture. the old version was 5 ^ 100 times better.
The section posts and the main screen do not use the full screen capability of the browser (in my case I.E. 5 running in 1024 * 768). Is it possible to make the pages use the full width instead of stopping about 2/3rds of the way across, so that more info can be viewed at once?

OK Guys. We have to give them some time to integrate all of the Codeguru stuff into their system. If that means living without a search engine for a couple of days, so be it. And I'll agree with everyone that the color scheme is not the greatest. But, we can harp on these guys for days, and that won't solve anything. I haven't been able to find anything better than CodeGuru myself out there. We won't see the old CodeGuru, but maybe in time, once they get all of the bugs fixed, it will be usable. And by the way Developer.com people, some responses just to let us know you're alive would be nice.
What a sad day for all of us MFC/C++ Developers. Codeguru and its many supporters have provided a wealth of usefull code and information which I now fear is lost. I agree with all the other posts here that the new site sucks big time. The old site was simple and very effective. I've never found developer.com of any use.
Where do we go from here?

Change is all too constant these days, and when it is for the worst it is so disappointing. The old codeguru was too good to be true.
I echo all previous comments.
In addition the jobs forum on the old site was excellent. Linking this to Dice is a disaster. 99% of all listings on Dice are from recruiters and not the hiring company. With the old codeguru.com the majority of listings were from the hiring companies - this makes a huge difference.
At least reinstate the old jobs forum. Go back to the old site period!
