BTW proratebiz it may get more support than you know, I posted this same thing awhile ago and it was removed by a monitor saying something to the effect that they aren't fixing this for now. Which means they really don't want us to vote on things and give opinions? Sorry for the rant, I didn't know where else to express this!
It would better if 99designs would explain in more detail when the CH sets up a contest in the first place that there is no code here! Just saying that "We don't provide the infrastructure for coding" (listed in the guidelines for CH) is not that obvious to a lot of CH's who come here thinking they are getting a more complete website. Words like coding and html are confusing to some.
It feels like 99designs is ignoring this issue for a number of reasons. I just had a problem with a CH not realizing that the code wasn't included, until the night the contest ended. As soon as they realized the code was seperate they took there business elsewhere. This is a big loss for us here. I understand there is a difference between the design and the code however a lot of CH's do not.
I think they need to have official coded contests here as well. It saves designers from having to ask every CH if they just want PSD or coded for each contest. Also, it makes a new category for everyone who really enjoys doing the code side of the design as well.
