Add your comment about the new look and feel of CodeGuru

I believe zafir made a good choice and let earthweb has the time to prove it. But why not giving the codeguru community and mangers an earlier notify??

Best Regards.

I would prefer not to have site navigation links
on the right of each article page. I prefer when
reading the article to have plain page with only
the article on it. The same is for comments on articles.

When I need to navigate the site I just click on "Back" button
on my browser and this way go to the site's main page.

Just keep the old CodeGuru style - it was useable.

Regards,
Stefan

Related Items was a button on one of the newsgroup screens. It let you access a
complete thread. For example, let's say I see a post called "Re: VB Problem".
For whatever reason, I think this post looks interesting so I decide to view
it. When I look at it I realize this thread has been going on all day, and I
missed all the posts related to it. I could click on the button called "Related
Items" and that particular thread (and only that thread) would appear on screen
in a treeview format. That way, I could go back, and read each post one at a
time starting with the original question.

Some of these VB newsgoups are so busy, I find it too time consuming to sift
thru all the messages to find the ones I'm looking for.

"Related Items" was especially nice when I posted my own question. I would
bookmark the Related Items page for my post and I could go back to this one
page every couple hours to see the responses to my post.

If it helps, here's one of my bookmarks for the related items page of a post I
made last week called "Getting Name of Tables At Run-time"

I'm not sure how this feature worked, but I would hate to see it eliminated.

Checked out the feature on the earlier server and it is certainly a very useful feature. Adding this to the list of items to do.

"Well, first of all, if the site is the same as before (which I'm sure it will be after the flame(r)s have died, the new legal statement is in place, etc...), why should you or anyone else care if Zafir made some money off it. He has put an enormous amount of work into this site, so why shouldn't he get some reward for it?
[stuff deleted]
The bottom line is, and I'll say this again, if the site is the same, what's the problem? It just sounds like you're just jealous because someone else made a lot of money and you can't have any."

[response:]
Jealous??? You've missed my point entirely! If Zafir can make a billion dollars, that's great, and kudos to him. But who enabled it and under what guise did they do it? And shouldn't he make it off his own back and not others---or is that just capitalism at its finest? Zafir contributed a number of articles and some good discussion, and he organized the whole thing. BUT... If Zafir had started out with a very plain statement that he was going to someday sell the site, all its content, and its sidebar of who's who contibutors, then I would bet that the site would have failed the same as others like it. Instead, he got lots of people to drop their guard and contribute information that I'll bet they would not have offered if they would've known where it would lead. That is what built his site. That was my point. For him to then sell everyone's effort seems to me pretty unethical to me. Zafir didn't act as a broker for all involved; he simply sold it and raked in the rewards. Thanks to this event, codeguru is spoiled for as long as it takes for the cultural memory to fade and new developers to move in and take their place. Frankly, I can't see how the same level of posting and discussion can continue, because there will always be that background voice asking "What am I giving away if I do/say/post this?" It's hard to get people to drop their guard like they did for codeguru.

So it begs the question: Would I have done the same thing under the same circumstances? No! My obviously flawed conscience is too strong. I'll probably never become a millionaire if I have to do it this way.

Thanks, I would certainly appreciate it

Then I apologize for my earlier rude comments. Yes people will be upset and I think thats silly and my caring about it is even sillier. For me I'll still use the site because I think its invaluable.

Hello,
Before EarthWeb bought CodeGuru I never visit EarhWeb because it is too Slow.
I think you should do something about the speed of your site.

The second reason (small reason you can say) is I hate the green and blue color that you use.
You see this site is a tool and the color you use must be relaxing.

What append is after a while we just get tired of waiting and be attack by heavy color. So we just leave.

I think you should react very soon beacause other like CodeJock are going to
take the market. This is kind of bad if you consider what the creater of CodeGuru as done.

Good Luck.

Karl.

Same feeling, or even stronger

Hi Zafir

I don't believe the vote on the Home page is working, I made a vote earlier today - and it still shows that there have been zero votes.

If you're being notified of this post via email - note that the URL link is also incomplete.

One more thing that I have to fix. And, of course, the forum script also has to be fixed so that the URL shows up properly when you receive the response.
