You can now link directly to the latest version in source control for downloading or browsing.
For example, to browse whatever the latest version checked into source control for my Stick Figure Karate Fighter, you’ll use this URL:
http://stickfigurekarate.codeplex.com/SourceControl/BrowseLatest

During our last deployment, we added the ability to insert code snippets into the discussion boards.
This will display a window for you to post in your code and to preview with syntax highlighting.

In a recent deployment, project owners can now use advertisements from The Lounge using a single click.
Project owner can see advertisements appear on the Home tab, the Downloads tab, the Discussions tab, and the Issue Tracker.
The CodePlex documentation has more information about displaying ads from The Lounge.
And just yesterday i was thinking, “is the best use of my blog posting tips about CodePlex?” And then I saw Devon’s blog post today. Guess that answers my question. Let’s just say I took June off and now I’m back.
Currently, we don’t have any UI that exposes these RSS feeds. We’ve thought about creating a page that says “design your own RSS feed here.” But until then, here’s the RSS feed to subscribe to a specific tag:
http://www.codeplex.com/rss.ashx?behavior=bytag&tagName=<tagname>
And another fun one is the most downloaded project RSS feed
http://www.codeplex.com/rss.ashx?behavior=topdownloaded

If this tip comes as a surprise to anyone, please let me know, as we have a major usability issue on our hands =D
For any CodePlex project, you can go to the stats tab, and select “project lifetime”
And you can get total traffic summary info at the bottom.
i was going to play the game “who can guess which project this is” but the referring traffic kinda gives it away.
Currently, there isn’t a way on the site to search for users via their usernames. However, if you know someone’s username, you can access their profile directly by typing in
http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/<username>
Or, if you’re like me and can’t remember that link, here’s an alternative way to look up someone else’s profile. First, click on any CodePlex project, go to the people tab, and click on any username, just to get to a profile page.
Next, remove the current username from the address bar and enter the new username. for example, you can change
http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/saraford
to
http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/JustinJosefAngel
Enjoy!
When you edit your release notes, you can use the wiki markup from the homepage, in case you want bulleted lists, bolded text, hyperlinks, etc.

Thanks to Martin Hinshelwood, a Team System MVP, for sharing the following workaround with all of us!
Excerpt below copied from solution-to-connecting-to-tfs-using-https-over-the-internet.aspx
This problem it seams is to do with the way Visual Studio 2010 connects to your TFS server over HTTPS. The default value for “BypassProxyOnLocal” in Visual Studio 2008 was “False”, but it has been changed to “True” for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1. It should be noted that this is currently a Beta 1 workaround and this behaviour may be updated for Beta 2 and RTM.
You can fix this by adding the following registry keys and restarting Visual Studio 2010:
You need to add a “RequestSettings” key to both of the following location that contains a string value pair of “BypassProxyOnLocal=’False’”.
32bit OS Key Locations:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\TeamFoundationServer
\10.0\RequestSettings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio
\10.0\TeamFoundation\RequestSettings
64bit key locations:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\TeamFoundationServer
\10.0\RequestSettings HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio
\10.0\TeamFoundation\RequestSettings
You can find out more on the “How to: Change the BypassProxyOnLocal Configuration” documentation on MSDN.

Whenever you create or edit a public release (show to public = yes), there’s the Default Release option.
Having a default release will change a project’s homepage from this
