Although no software expert, I would be prepared to run and test code, and provide results, along with screen dumps etc.
I've only seen a few opinions on this. Would everyone like us to have a "code review forum"?
Aye
Yes, it would be very useful!
A code review forum would be nice, although in the past i have used the Addicts forum with this purpose, I guess with the intent of limiting some of the more silly responses. Would be pretty interesting to have some people tear apart my scripts...

Yes, in fact, not only will code writers benefit, but people new to programming languages can see real world examples, both good and bad, on creation and execution.
I posted a PERL script the other day and by the end of the day, it was modified and had some features added. I now use the modified version of my script (thanks to Nebulus2000 for adding switches to my script). I find this to be very useful as I don't have a large pool of people who can really pan through scripts to identify issues or enhancements. Also, if enough good scripts are created and posted, there could be an AO custom toolz forum/ftp site established. Here we go....dreaming of big ideas... :)
I know a site feature like this would certainly draw more people here. So then, will we see this forum created soon ;) ?
that would be grate. Someone posts a code and another person see a flaw or an easier way of writting this code. Leave their suggestion and the writter will review them. This will allow the writter to edit his post, change his code if he feels he needs to do so. After a few people do so AO will become a great archive of almost perfect codes.
That brings up an interesting question. Should it be an earned site benefit?Quote:

this tropical sun is getting to me.. gotta get back to OZ.. before I go tropo....
Back on topic.. YEs handy Idea.. this mug may start to learn something again..
Cheers
edit:
interesting question.. I had a thought that it would be best under Newbie Help.. rather than general tech.. but as a site benefit..hmm may need a bit of discussion..Quote:

We want good peer review..but not the a$$holes.. site benefit suites the later.. but kills the newbies who are great coders.. last thing we need is some one spamming the board just to be able to get into a particular forum.... Certainly not a invitation only forum.... thats my .02 + .05c worth
cheers
