I would like to see the tree at left of the forums anchored to the top of the page rather than the bottom. If I'm looking at a question in the .NET forum and want to switch to one lower down, it often means having to scroll a long way down before the meniu item moves into view.

I'm assuming you have a very short window.
I've made the menu sticky specifically to reduce the scrolling that's needed, but I can see that on very short viewports there's an issue. Maybe I just disable the stickiness for short windows.

No, a normal size window on a laptop. It just seems a bit of a pain having to scroll down to get to the bottom entries, when the right hand side is already scrolled far enough. But if other people prefer the current system I'm happy to live with it.

Can you please send me a screenshot? (chris at...)

Can it be made into a setting?
When I'm on a tablet its actually a bit disturbing when things jump around and I don't really mind the scrolling very much on real computers.

Count me too on this matter, I just realized that on 16:9 screens it is quite a hassle being forced to scroll down all of the content side just to access the other forums.

In case anyone's missed "the Dieting[^]™", I've just discovered a huge amount of spam hidden in the personal forums of various spam-bots. (I suspect I've only scratched the surface, and there's a lot more to be found.)
Since these bots have never posted in any other forum on the site, only the search-engines will ever see it. As a result, some of it has survived for several years.
I think it might help to restrict the use of the personal forum to members who have:
- posted in at least one other "public" forum on the site, or in QA;
- earned a minimum reputation "score"; and
- been a member for more than a month;
It won't be foolproof, but it would probably have stopped most of the spam I've just found.

We're in the midst of a building a general spam solution that may - or may not - solve this issue.

Hi Chris,
I would like to add Sandcastle documentation to my PDF File Writer C# Class Library (Version 1.9.1)[^] article. Obviously, I can package it with one of the download files. What I am really interested in is if the help directory can be hosted on Code Project such that programmers can view it in the same way as MS help files.
Thanks

You mean the formatted HTML produced by Sandcastle?
If there was demand for such a thing I'd certainly add it.
(I've always been amazed at how insanely painful it is to generate Sandcastle docs. Surely it should be, by now, a single button click)
cheers

I am preparing a new revision for my article PDF File Writer C# Class Library (Version 1.9.1)[^]. One of the enhancements is Sandcastle documentation. I have too many classes, methods and properties to describe in the article. The difficulty in producing these files is adding the XML documenting comments to the source code. I still need some cleaning to do. Producing the document once you have the comments is very easy (one click) as long as one loads the right software.
I am definitely interested in hosting it on Code Project such that clicking on a link in the article will display the help page. I am not ready yet to publish revision 1.10.0. However, I have the Sandcastle ready for testing. If you want to look at it, I will upload it to you. Uncompressed it is 10MB, compressed it is 2.3MB. The help folder contains 1000 files in 6 folders.
Please let me know how you want to proceed.

I'm not even sure how to proceed with 1000 files!
Is there an option in the software you use to generate relative links within the documents? If so then we can probably just upload the entire zip, crack it open and have the files sit inside the article's download directory.
If the Sandcastle docs were produced as a single-page application that would be brilliant - then we could simply frame it inside a tab on the article (but I know I'm probably dreaming here).
cheers

Chris,
I can send it all as one file with .mht extension. The MHT file is only 243KB long. Unfortunately the article update upload feature will not accept .mht files. If it would, I can upload it and set a link to this file and I think it will all work out. Like anything else in programming until you try it you cannot be sure.
Can you help me try it out?

Uzi, how about generating a .chm instead of a website?

I can produce .chm file. It is 768KB long.
How can I include this file with the article?
Uzi

Just .zip it and upload it as part of the article.

My original question was, is it possible to view the help pages on line. It is obvious that I can include it in one format or another within a downloadable file.

|

|

Yes, I know. 
I attempted to answer your question "How can I include this file with the article?".

Chris,
Please note my answer from Mov 22.
Are you interested in adding documentation?
Thanks,
Uzi

I hope you recovered from yesterday's events.
Revision 1.10.0 of Pdf File Writer article[^] includes the help file in .CHM format.

I originally used the wrong account (David-Cunningham instead of DavidCunningham) so I updated the post.
Can you please forward me the email? I'm guessing it's sent the link with the "www.codeproject.com" bit missing.
cheers
