OK.
That's all my limited knowledge can come up with.
Someone else will be able to help, I'm sure.

Hi Chris,
Not even cleaning cache was helpful  Finally I voted using Firefox.

Which browser were you using previously?

I thought so. Chrome is particularly aggressive about caching old copies

I Had also the same problem,
But after putting your vote write some thing inside the description to your vote and your vote will be added,
Thanks

Hi Hiren,
The part: “even if I write a reason” means that I wrote a description.

 , Then it is working in my case,
I have given vote of 1 to the same article.

For the last day or so (since the Lounge link moved in the menu), I get a 'page not found' error when navigating directly to the link http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.aspx[^]. It starts to show the Lounge page, but then clears and shows the 'page not found'. I'm using IE7, and this link is in a shortcut in my favorites bar. I'm using IE7 behind a proxy, if that makes a difference.
Clicking the new!improved! 'The Lounge' link in the menu works correctly.
Interestingly, clicking the link I supplied above from the message preview works.

If you search a little further down the messages in this forum, you will find someone with the same problem and a suggested solution.

Sigh. I hate black magic hand-waving solutions to problems. I really wish the corporate IT yabbos would approve IE8 already.

This one has been bugging me for quite some time already (I also trust it has been signaled before, but maybe a reminder is what it needs):
while editing a message, pasting some text causes the textbox to scroll back to the top. This is a nuisance, especially for longer messages.
Example: a reply to some question requires some code; I create the text and paste the code, and ask for a preview. I decide to change the name of a variable in the code, so I replace it once by typing, then want to copy-paste-paste-paste; now the window scrolls up each time, requiring a lot of eye and hand movements to compensate.
[ADDED]
This used to happen earlier when using FF3.0, and now happens FF3.6; I just discovered it does not happen on Chrome 6.0 (I don't want to get chromatized permanently!)

This is, unfortunately, a quirk of Firefox and it's ridiculous lack of clipboard support. I haven't found a way to get around it.

Ah. I know remember you answering in similar words to some other message before (not mine).
I trust you did report the problem to Mozilla. (With a few  maybe?)
Anyone knows a good FF add-on to remedy the scroll? (BTW add-ons are a major factor in me liking FF).

it has happened several times recently (say the last 2 or 3 days), and just happened again in a programming forum: pasting a valid URL did not cause any magic to happen. It did not wait for anything, just pasted as is. So I fixed it manually, and published. No time-outs were noticeable.
FF3.6.9 (black socks this time).

Was the URL for an article or just a random URL?

good Q; the last one was "random" (i.e. a non-CP article). The others, not sure. I'll pay more attention and add new information here when it becomes available.

just successfully pasted a CP article link...

In particular, I'd love to be able to do some callouts like the articles in Reader's Digest. There, they use them to quote some climactic or memorable line, but they'd be great for highlighting an issue of concern or for including tips and tricks in the articles.
I'm considering using the combination nav-right-sidebar (which, oddly, removes the left padding) and container-contents (which adds padding back) for this, but I doubt it will survive an edit (though it might convince the editor of it's usefulness, if I use it tastefully), and it won't allow me to balance the non-graphical elements by placing some of them on the left.
I tried using the combination warning and float-right/left, but they don't have a width or even a max-width, which really ruins the effect of a floating callout. Oh, and yes, I even tried callout, but again, no width.
Likewise, trying to emulate collapsed code in the <pre>...</pre> region, I tried using a box style, but it doesn't quite work correctly. I can't even get the Caption style to position image captions properly. (Of course, you could probably create a bit of wizardry to even make expandable/collapsable text, but I'd be happy with a Potempkin version.
I kept wondering why I found almost no mention in the article FAQ on styles dedicated for use in articles, but I finally concluded that you just don't have many requests for it.
Anyway, it's something to think about. It might make for some ugly articles if abused, but reading through some of the postings here, I'm under the impression that the resultant increase wouldn't be detectable. But then, I'm not an editor, so I don't know if the majority of really wacked articles are because people don't use the tools here, or if it's because they abuse the tools here.

Have you tried the callout style? If you have anything specific letme know. We don't mention because we don't encourage. excessive styling diminishes one's ability to scan and read. Used judiciously, it can be handy though.

I did try the callout, but IIRC, it doesn't have a width. I can keep trying different combinations, but what would really tickle my fancy is a nav-left-sidebar. I like the subtle background change, rounded corners and shadow, but the nav- part makes me think it might not be a good idea. How about a right- and left-sidebar? They should be almost cut & paste!
A code-collapsed like you're box style, but with padding and margins better adjusted to match how collapsed code looks in Visual Studio would be pretty great, too. I can upload my own boxed-plus sign icon.
Let me look at this again tomorrow and I'll try and get more specific style definitions.
Thanks!

Never tried creating a tight box in CSS before. It's hard.
In the mean time, could we get maybe these two defined for article styles?
.right-sidebar
{
float:right;
width:190px;
background-color:#FFFFEF;
margin: 10px 7px 15px 15px;
border: 1px #FFCC66 solid;
border-radius:10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
.left-sidebar
{
float:left;
width:190px;
background-color:#FFFFEF;
margin: 10px 7px 15px 15px;
border: 1px #FFCC66 solid;
border-radius:10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
You'll notice that the right-sidebar is the same as nav-right-sidebar, but it's defined for another use. Separating them allows you to later make article-consistency independently of your hosting controls.
If I can figure out how to do a code-collapsed style, I'll get back to you. (I can't believe how difficult this is.)
