SuggestionBUG: My Technical Blog posts are converted to article automatically PinmemberRui Inacio6-Aug-12 22:36 
Hi,
My Technical Blog posts are converted to an article automatically by the Code Project.
I don't know how this occurs, I have only edited the section and tags of the blog post in the code project and published it.
 
Can you help-me with this issue?
 
Regards,
Rui

Could you please check it out? I have no source code available right now. So I cannot replace it with a new one.

SuggestionBugs in the uploading of zips and images PinmemberAkshay Srinivasan26-Aug-12 4:11 
When I am editing my article and upload documents they go in fine and the images work. However when I delete an old uploaded file and then put the new version by the same name in when I come back I see repeats. Its not effecting the article in any way because I redo all the links but I have a lot of images and repeats are becoming a pain and I am unable to clean up because there is some bug in your delete an uploaded file logic that is causing the file not to effectively be deleted and shows up in the following edit to the article.
Coding since 1984.

GeneralThanks for the Notification feature Pinmvpthatraja5-Aug-12 0:58 
Sorry for the delayed reply. I disturbed you twice thrice for that option couple of months back. Finally you have implemented that option recently & it's fine. In new workplace they blocked all mail sites but now I could see the notifications through this option.
 
Thank you very much Chris.

SuggestionProblems with using "Thread View" mode in reading article comments PinmemberBillWoodruff4-Aug-12 4:31 
Assuming that on a Forum you have set the reading mode (Layout) to "Thread View."
 
Let's say you are reading a long article like Mehdi Gholam's superb 'fastJSON' article[^].
 
Now, you are reading the comments on the article: you open one of the comments, and, you click to open the comments on the comments: shazam: you are now at the top of the page again.
 
Or, now: you've read all the comments on the comment you "expanded," and, now: you click "View All Threads" to return to regular Thread View: shazam: you are at the top of the page again.
 
Now, maybe this is really picky-picky, because the "End" key on my keyboard will get me back to to the bottom of the page again. And, that's only one measly keystroke !
 
But, there is bigger problem related to the same Thread View behavior on articles with multiple pages of comments: try this:
 
1. go to page #4 of the comments on Mehdi's article
 
2. expand one of the comments with several responses
 
3. okay, you are at the top of the page again, no big deal: just hit the "End" key, and you are looking at the expanded original comment.

And, now: the nub of the rub
:
 
4. click the "View All Threads" to return to collapsed view:
 
You are now back at the top of the page, but when you go to the end of the page: you are no longer on page #4 of the comments, but on page #1 of the comments.
 
What's the problem ? imho: the perceptual continuity of the reading process is disrupted.
 
So, ideas:
 
a. bias: I certainly would find it distracting to see the whole "set view" interface on every article, every Tip, etc.
 
b. Consider the behavior described in point #4, above, a bug, and fix it ? So: expanding the comment on an article will take you to the point in the article (at the bottom) where the expanded comments are, and collapsing the view will keep you on the same page of an article with multiple pages of comments.
 
c. Disable thread view outside of forums ?

QuestionHow can I post a technical Blog PinmemberRahul Rajat Singh3-Aug-12 20:16 
I see an option for consuming a blog on CodeProject. Is there any way I can post my blog on CodeProject directly?
 
I don't want to manage another blog. I am very happy with CodeProject and want to post all my technical blogs here itself. Is there any way I can do that?
Every now and then say, "What the Elephant." "What the Elephant" gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity makes your future.

SuggestionAdd new flag item to General Programming Forums (Not a question) PinmemberSlacker0073-Aug-12 5:44 
I noticed that the general programming forums (Not Q/A) only have abusive and spam as report items. Maybe, we could add not a question, as well.

BugTags: Many tags with no associations PinmemberSlacker0073-Aug-12 5:11 
I was editing and cleaning up tags, and I notice a large amount of tags that make no sense at all with zero associated questions. I found this to be odd, thus my reason for reporting.
 
I deleted some but there are too many.

SuggestionPosting Messages PinmemberBassam Abdul-Baki3-Aug-12 1:27 
On occassion, I am not logged in to CP/RA (at work) for some reason. When replying to a message, it would be nice if after typing in a message, we can put in the username and password and click on Post Message, and the site automatically checks the U/P boxes and logs you in and posts the message automatically.
 
Having to do the U/P first and then retype the message is annoying.
 
Minor Bug (IMO): Since this site is Site Bugs (First) / Suggestions (Second), the default new message icon should be the Bug and not the Suggestion.

SuggestionStop spam Pinmemberperilbrain2-Aug-12 18:19 
Hi CP Team,
In a few recent articles I can see multiple spams posted by members an example.
So I just thought cant we put some heavy restrictions like multiple authentication(if post contains some URLs, a $, shipping,price,paypal etc), account suspension or barring from post for a few days (In case post is "reported[Abusive spam]").

GeneralSome mistakes [modified] PinmemberKenneth Haugland2-Aug-12 8:30 
Hi
 
I made some mistakes during feedback on Articles\Blog\Tip prior to publishing, and It seems that I added them under the wrong post, as they became permanent post of the article. This Applies to:
 
GEDCOM Data Model in C# using BrightstarDB for Persistence[^]
 
Buildbot Part I - Setting Up[^]
 
Localization in Excel[^] - Fixed by me Smile | :)
 
Book Review: Continuous Integration in .NET[^]
 
These articles\blog\Tip were published within the same timeframe, and I coomentet on some minor details that should be fixed. However I dont find the comment very useful now that the article is publishe. Im terrible sorry for the inconvinience, and I promis to not do it again Smile | :)
 
PS. I would delete them myself, but I dont have permission to delete all the replies from other people.
 
Sorry aginan.... (Im the bug, so It semms Frown | :( )
