Couple of questions
-
1. Why don't the RSS feeds list all of the the articles posted? For the last few weeks I thought there was very little C# content being added to the site, until I visited the site and realised that the RSS feeds are being limited. 2. Why don't you protect your members from spam? I setup a special email account purely for CP, and it's just breached 60 spam emails a day - which is about 60 more than I would have expected. Not only are they spam, but they are personalised using my CP member name. The blogless coder

1. The RSS feeds are specific to the main topics on the homepage. Click on the 'MFC' tab and the RSS feed will be MFC only. Click C# and you get C# only. Click all topics and you get the full meal deal. 2. We do. Your email address is not posted on the site. If you can find your email address exposed then please let us know. The only time someone else will see your email address is if you reply to a message of theirs, or use the 'Email' link in a message posting. Your adress is then sent with the message but only to that person. We cannot protect you if you post your address in forums or articles. CodeProject is very heavily spidered by all types of search engines, even email harvesters. cheers, Chris Maunder

Hi Chris, On the RSS feeds, am I correct in assuming that the c# homepage http://www.codeproject.com/index.asp?cat=3[^] should match the C# RSS feed: http://www.codeproject.com/webservices/articlerss.aspx?cat=3[^]? If so, it's not the case - give it a try.. Here's the article titles currently listed on the C# homepage: * A control class for browsing through the network neighborhood * Analyse IL and say hello (or goodbye) to your memory * Treaps in C# * A Simple ASP.NET Server Control: Message Box & Confirmation Box * Adapting GRML * Creating Custom Configurations * Creating some cool buttons and groupboxes * Drag-and-Drop in UserControls * Inline (Single File) vs. CodeBehind * MasterPages reinvented - a Component Based Template Engine for ASP.NET Versus the article titles on the RSS feed: * An Treap implementation in C# * Creating some cool buttons and groupboxes * Creating Optical Character Recognition (OCR) applications using Neural Networks * A flexible line graph class library in C#

On the spam issue - to be honest I just don't have the time nor inclination to go through the CP website looking for holes. What I'll do is setup a new email account for my CP profile and see how it goes. If/when I receive any spam in it, I'll let you know. The blogless coder

The only place I've found that spammers pick-up CP email addresses is from the Industry Contacts page... but I doubt there is anything you can do about that without negating the whole point of the page. Of course, I'm a little unhappy that the email address is sent with each reply notification as I've received a number of unsolicted questions and cries for help because of it. An option to not show the email address would be great. Michael CP Blog [^]

I meant that if you *do* see anything, let me know, because we do try our best to protect members from spam. Remember that spammers are always using brute force attacks against ISPs so why not try setting up 2 accounts: one you use on CodeProject and one that sits there as a control. If they both get hammered then it's not us. If the CP one gets abused then we look further to see what's happening. cheers, Chris Maunder

The RSS feeds use new (.NET) code that takes advantage of the upgraded article attribution, whereas the homepage uses the old (ASP) version. I'm gradually moving bits and pieces over to .NET and this is one of the few cases you'll notice a difference. cheers, Chris Maunder

Furty wrote: I setup a special email account purely for CP, and it's just breached 60 spam emails a day Me too. And it isn't. I never received spam on that email account until I signed up for a YahooGroups list on the same email account. I've now switched email accounts again and it is spam free again.
