Your welcome, anytime.

Now, back to the topic in hand. I am extremely confused with what is going on, depending on which path I follow, I end up at 2 different articles, (note the different set of messages at the bottom), however, under the users profile it only lists one.

Oh, and the questionable content Suspicious | :suss:

The first link was the published article, the second link was a new version of that article.

I knew there was something I needed to do today: I'll add a note to new version saying "this is a new version".

BTW, article gone. A pity, but no, we can't have that sort of stuff.

Q&A FAQ - Images problem.

I take it this is why my most recent messages contain messages against articles I deleted a couple of years ago.

None of the images are pointing at the right place...they all show up as the text names, and if you paste the URL into the browser, it takes you to "My Settings"

Possibly dumb question

fjdiewornncalwe2-Mar-12 3:33

Re: Possibly dumb question

2-Mar-12 3:33

I couldn't find an answer for this, but I was wondering at what reputation level does a user gain the ability to delete other user's answers in the Q&A?
I'm asking because I noticed a few questions this morning where there is only 1 solution available today when there were at least 5 others the day before. The user who's answer happens to remain is new and very low reputation so I'm curious if they had the ability to do this, or if I'm just off my rocker today.

According to the FAQ[^] it's platinum.
The article was modified last summer, so it should be up to date. Except for the images, of course. D'Oh! | :doh:

Thanks Griff. Not sure why I didn't see that. Must have been too early for my brain today.

Copy/Paste

New Window Link may not be required for CodeProject links

2-Mar-12 2:39

I love how CP handles copy/paste for links. I haven't tried it with external ones, but for an article link, it showed the title instead of just the link. I assume this works for externals too.

Kudos Chris!

Additionally for internal CodeProject links the 'New Window' link can be done away with.

Re: New Window Link may not be required for CodeProject links

2-Mar-12 3:35

Why? I for one use the new window link quite often as I'm usually viewing the link contents as a resource and then closing the window again when I'm done.

Re: New Window Link may not be required for CodeProject links

Not really. I tend to open multiple tabs and prefer to use the new window (^) link.

Err, no. I use this feature all the time. In fact, I wish that the Insider forum posts used them more.

I always get to open the content in new window but using contextual menu options of the web browser.

Try pressing on the link for a second or two and maybe a menu will pop up that allows you to open in a new window (depending on the tablet).

Thank you. It only works for articles and questions. We intercept the URL, lookup the article or question, get the title, then sneak the title into the text you thought you were pasting.

Can't you expand that for other links to get the page title (i.e., bookmark name)?

I imagine it isn't as easy. For Code Project articles, all he has to do is use an ID in the URL and look up the title in the database. For external sites, he'd have to actually download the HTML and parse out the title.

So I imagine he can, but I also imagine it would be a pain and probably significantly slower depending on the site.
