We can't really fix the images on the preview, unfortunately. I've saved copies of all your images. So once you plan to submit your article, please email me and I fix up any broken images once it's been published.
Thanks,

I'm having the same problem on this article (my first ever): (https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1164635/Converting-Numbers-to-Text-in-Csharp)
Also, I can't figure out how to make the source code available. I have uploaded it, but it doesn't automatically show up. Am I missing something? (Also, I couldn't figure out how to email you (couldn't find your email address), so I'm replying to this instead.

They seem to be downloading OK? Our file system is finicky right now. Sometimes it takes a few uploads. Apologies.

Yes. Everything seems to be working properly now. I think it was mostly just newbie-user mistakes. Thanks for looking at it!

One important point is to always use just the image filename, not the full path when specifying img tags
eg img src="NumberConverter.png"
instead of
img src="https://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/1164635/NumberConverter.png"

Yes, that was my mistake. That, and not realizing that after fixing my mistake, the modification would need to go through moderation again. (I expected it to just show up immediately, and was originally confused when it didn't.)
Thanks

It appears to me the author is experiencing each of his discoveries in what C# .NET offers as some form of cosmic revelation; and, that's great, but does it mean an article with very little content needs to be published ?
The first article can be summed up in one sentences:
"You can use Object.GetProperties() to get the Properties of an Object."
The second article celebrates the authors discovery, thanks to suggestions on the first article, of StringBuilder, Extension Methods, and lazy-loading ... the author was so moved by this that rather than revise the first article, he posted a second.
Can we look forward to a third article when the author discovers what the 'BindingFlags enumeration do in a call to Object.GetProperties() ? 
Is this is a case of: my standards for article content need to be "adjusted" downwards sharply ? Yes, I could go there 
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

There are many "approval friendly" moderators who have a quick approval trigger finger. We have called for this to be fixed many times.

Not sure how to "fix" this because some of the approving members for this one are Extremely Sensible Members.

Maybe we could
- Somehow associate article scores to reputation of the approver(s). (this would probably be fairly complex)
- Force an article back into the approval queue* if it gains a certain number of 1 votes from hi-rep members.
- Have a button available to hi-rep members that allows them to request that an article be resubmitted into the approval queue*.
- Being put back into the approval queue would
- delete all article comments and zero out all votes currently attributed to the article
- remove all reputation points for the author connected to the article

To approve an article you have to have gold level in one of these: Author, Authority, Editor, Organiser...
Two if these (Authority and Organiser) are good qualities, but not sure are fit to the subject...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

What I don't understand... my report was the first one. So why noone clicked before to "poor quality" or any other of the possibilities?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

We need to be careful here, but I get your point.
Firstly, we want to encourage sharing. Secondly we want to encourage high quality sharing.
Just because an article is approved doesn't mean it's up on a gold pedestal. The article rating system is in place specifically to take everything that's published and sort it. If it's truly awful then one hopes it will be de-emphasised, to use a euphemism.
However, the issue of new articles instead of updates is an educational one. How do we encourage updates instead of additions?

Giving less reputation for posting and more for editing? At the end it is what 98% of those "prolific" posters want.

New content, don't copy from other. Do not have bad links

Unfortunately you really do need to be careful with images and follow what the submission wizard says. You have images referenced by full paths (eg http://www.codeproject.com/KB/Articles/1115184/image37.png). Please just reference by the image filename, not path (eg image7.png).
We need the ability to move images around during the submission process. The wizard knows about these moves and adjusts the references. If you give it a full path then it will respect that, but it will then probably show broken images.
I've fixed it.

In early revisions, the images were as they appear in the composing mode. I did not change path. After I published, they started to disappear. So I put the absolute path. Then I found out exact problem.

I am trying to finish an article I started a while ago. All images appear in edit mode but when I use the preview button all my images are missing. Only the text URL shows up.
Here is the article:
1089366/WPF-MVVM-Print-or-Create-an-Image-of-your-Applicat
Is there something I am doing wrong?

It's not you, it's us. Please shoot me an email with the URL when you are ready to submit with the images and I will make sure they are all attached when it is pushed live.
