Just wanted to start working on an article - I already outlined it a while ago via the submission wizard, but it's gone now (I might have deleted it, though). However, I started over, and now the submission wizard tells me that the basename (wpf-notifyicon) is already taken. It's not a catastrophe (I'll just take another one), but this might be worth looking into.
Cheers,
Philipp

A quirk of our system, unfortunately. We do need to clean out the debris occasionally.

It is hard to explain, just have a look at this screenshot[^]
[Add] Uh... oh! May be just Edit and Delete are given as separate options now?  It looks ugly and is not convenient to use though, put it back where it was, please. [/Add]

I don't mind having it all in a single line, left-aligned, with all available functions "edit delete reply email ..."
that also solves the occasional problem of me replying to my own message when I want to edit it; and it prevents a far-east "edit delete" option when something went wrong in HTML or so, as we have had several times in the past.

So this is now OK?
I'm just about to head out and crack open a beer I've been thinking about all week.
Going once...going twice...

wait a second. My suggestion was putting edit first, where reply is on others' posts.
Apart from that, fine.
You really think about a beer a whole week long? I know I wouldn't.

 Allow a man some poetic license.
What I actually dream about all week is getting out on the bike tomorrow morning and cranking out 100K's. (Except it's meant to be raining...)
If I have the Edit|Delete on the left then people will complain that they hit Edit instead of reply.

Who wants to reply to his own messages? The only things I do to my messages is read them again, and edit them (in extreme cases delete them). In my view the leftmost item is the one one most likely wants: replying to someone else's message, or editing one's own message.

is that 100km or several 100 km? anyway, your choice, not mine.
BTW: you shouldn't drink and cycle.

Moderators in forums see the Reply button AND the edit button. for them I keep the UI consistent.

Was: 120km, will be: 0km, sitting inside watching the storms. I went out last weekend and was caught in hail so am playing it safe.

Yes you should. At least a litre an hour!

Not really. I'm used to having those two links on the right side of the post for four years now and I see there is no real need to change it. I keep moving the mouse to the right side, every time I want to edit a post. I edit a post like - 10 times after I post it, adding links, references, etc., especially on the programming forums.
Can't you please just put it back where it was? Not that I cannot get used to this new thing but, only if this 'change' really needed! Is there something that I am missing?

Apologies to those whose messages I had to delete due to the bug that disconnected accounts to messages. I was hoping I'd be up to have the update done fast enough that i would slip in between postings but it was not meant to be.

Hi there
I just uploaded a few of my blog articles to CodeProject - love the feature! However - I was a little surprised to see that the upload only included the markup text while all images still served from my blog.
In order to fix this (I don't have too much bandwith, and changes on the blog might corrupt the articles here on CP...), I'll have to download the pictures from my blog to my machine, upload them through the article submission wizard to CP and fix the links in the article - PITA. I don't know how hard this was, but I'd *love* to have the functionality to automatically import and fix linked images
Cheers,
Philipp

Well do this. I don't know how hard to do this will be, or how long it will take, but it will be done.

That's great new, Chris - cheers
Another thing (didn't see it in the current bug list): I worked over most code samples in the uploaded articles, and syntax coloring works great in previews. On published blog articles, however, it doesn't seem to work. I have CP's code formatting style (orange background, courier) but no syntax coloring.

...and I noticed when you click on a message at the bottom of an article
to view it(in Chrome)the view suddenly jumps up (just a small bit) so
you have to scroll back down to view the message. I noticed that in the
lounge or any other forum the view centers on the message.
After this I decided to try it in Firefox 3.08( to be specific  ) and
I found that this does not happen, the browser window does not scroll in
any forum, just opens the message.
So then finally I tried in I.E. 8 (Windows 7 beta version) and no matter
what forum you are in(or in the articles), when you click a message the
browser window jumps up to the top( typical of I.E. )
I just thought I'd stick this here because I saw this[^] but then I realised it was different after not reading it properly the first time

The chrome issue is the same as here[^]. I've not been able to replicate the IE8 issue.

Oh
I didn't know what to search for so I didn't find anything
It's funny you arent able to replicate the IE 8 issue, it happens to me all the time...
at least I don't use it as my main browser

I don't think mixing subtle bugs and wicked code snippets is such a great idea.
in wicked code, the functionality may or may not be clear, however the correctness of the implementation probably is not immediately apparent.
in subtle bugs, the functionality probably is clear, but there is a subtle bug, hard to discern.
so the risk is a lot of people will be confused and not know whether some snippet is a very good or a rather bad implementation of some idea.

And that will mean there will be discussion. It's the same as it is now: Some people post very interesting bugs they have solved, whereas others post bugs that could have been avoided if they had a better understanding of what they are doing.

sorry, I don't agree at all. We should not create confusion for the sake of discussion.
what is next? Should we start providing wrong replies on purpose to get more discussion too?
