Hi Pragmateek,
No problem, I have updated the article with your existing blog entry.
As for continuous update ... that is currently not in the cards. But it's worth thinking about 
Thanks,

Hi Sean,
thanks for the update, it's perfect! 
Sorry for the inconvenience.
By "continuous" I mean once a day would already be great.

Does anyone know why the fancy tabloid type iPad app picks a random part from the center of your article when you share an article through linkedin?
Is there anyway to manipulate the html (e.g. use section/article) to make it use the first part of the text.
The website just uses you first paragraph.

An article of mine "Those Magnificent Men, a game for Windows"
[^] has been closed stating "This post is spam, abusive or otherwise inappropriate."
But I don't believe the article is either spam, abusive nor inappropriate. Can someone provide some clarification, or advice about how to improve the article so that it can be re-opened? Does it need some code samples(the original competition stated that we didn't need to provide any code samples)? Does it need more clarification on the choice of language, platform, etc.?
I have put a lot of effort into my project and have been working very hard on it for the past 5 months to move it forward. It is quite hurtful for someone to just close the article without leaving any suggestions on how to rectify the situation.
Thanks,
Ched

Ched, I am aware that there has been some conversation about this article. While you are correct that you originally submitted this against the AppInnovation contest, the concern that people had raised was that there were updates to this article that happened long after the competition closed, but which didn't show any code - in fact, the only thing other than screenshots, was a link to the indiedb site. It's certainly a bit cheeky of you not to be linking to the AppUp store, after all the competition was for entries in the AppUp store.

|
|
ah .. I had replied to him, not having seen the previous conversation - I did wonder about the 'commercial links'
I've since deleted my reply

Thanks for replying Pete,
I am aware that the competition is closed, but I would still like to finish my project and keep the code-project article up-to-date. Do you think I should move the article since the competition is over?
As I stated above, there was no specific requirement, originally to show code, although when I return home I will update the article with some example code, if this is what is needed to re-open the article.
The IndieDB link was provided for the Demo/Beta versions for users to access and possibly provide me with comments/suggestions while the project is evolving. I fully intend to submit the final version to the AppUp site. The IndieDB authorisation is quicker (released within 6-12 hrs) while the AppUp authorisation is slow (2 weeks I believe) and so it makes more sense at this stage of the project for the game to be hosted on IndieDB.

That is correct.

Provided you give the article enough context and detail, that should bring it back into the remit of CodeProject.
Ched1980 wrote: the AppUp authorisation is slow (2 weeks I believe)
Sadly, this is true.
Good luck.

Is my published article. However there is a video link at the top. It is not embedding the video. Rather, only "Video" is coming. Can somebody please fix that to a video window where user can play the video?
|
|
|
|
|
No problem Grasshopper.iics. I have added the embedded video. Please note, if you need to make updates to this article in the future, I will have to do them so the video remains.
Thanks,

Why dont you show the list of persons who had voted. It will be very helpful for the author. Because sometimes we are getting good comments on the article but the voting shows poor. So we can come to know, whether the people who had really gone through article has done the voting or somebody else had voted.
|
|
|
|
|
Because if I want you to know it was me I'll write a comment. If I don't write a comment I don't want you to know I voted. If voting isn't anonymous I won't vote -- which do you want?
|
|
|
|
|
Do you mean to say the persons who are writing comments are voting? Because if the poor rating is given, I want to know the reason for it.

You don't get to know unless people tell you.
Anyone can vote any darn way they like.

|
|
|

If someone votes 1, 2 or 3, (s)he must post a comment. In that case, you know who voted for your article. If someone votes 4 or 5, (s)he isn't required to post a comment. If he/she don't post a comment, then you don't know who voted. But if he/she post a comment, then you know who voted for your article.

Hi,
I'm writing an article about how bitwise operators work. But because bitwise operators are operators that are available in many languages (C#, VB.NET, C, C++ ...), so I don't know which section I should choose for my article.
Any ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but why not just show examples for each language that you are discussing, and let the reader look up their own reference for any languages you do not support.

Are you presenting some example code? If so, you choose the language in which you are writing your code.

Yes, but I write code in C# and VB.NET.

Hi syed_babu,
I took a look and everything looks OK now, is that the case on your end as well? Please let me know.

Hi Sean,
Thanks for your response. I'm able to see the contents now but not the download links for my code.

Steve. Have a look at it now (you may need to Ctrl+F5). I've updated the feed and it's been pushed into live now. The HTML should be good to go.

It looks perfect.
Is there anything I can do to avoid this in the future?

I just fiddled about with the spacing after the pre tags and changed the " to ' for the first JavaScript entry. After that, it seemed to be okay.
|
|
|
|
|
So you changed some spacing and replaced this valid JavaScript code:
<script src="Scripts/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
...with this valid JavaScript code:
<script src='Scripts/jquery.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
Gee, I don't see how I could have missed that.

I also sacrificed a chicken if that helps any.

Was it a virgin chicken? And did you also burn incense?

It seems the ratio of views to votes on an article, from limited experience, varies from around 2000/1 to 4000/1, which begs the question. Are we being suckered into believing that thousands of people have read our articles when really they're only read by web crawlers and search robots or do real people read them and then only 1 in a thousand has a definite opinion on what they've read.
My guess is it's somewhere in the middle, perhaps Bob has some thoughts on this?

I suspect that it weighs heavier towards the web crawlers.
|
|
|
|

You may be right, they certainly read faster. I wonder given that we don't want to keep them out but that there are ways to do so whether it's possible to let them in but not to count them, perhaps a Bugs & Sugs entry is needed.

It needs a bit of work on the formatting, and that bright green is hard on the eyes. But as far as the content goes I would say it's more an article than a tip..

Thanks for your feedback!

I have not received any response. So posting the question again.
I have a article [ Versatile Tree Control[^] ]where I have added image and during preview it was working fine. But after submitting the articles only some of the images are shown.
|
|
|
|
|
Try editing the article to see if you can modify the URLs per my suggestion of yesterday.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Richard. Let me try...

Press Ctrl+F5. I can see the images in there - I don't see any areas that look like images are missing.
Cancel that - I was looking at the old version of your article.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks.Now I'm able to see the images with out pressing CTRL+F5 itself.
