Re: Why does image added as Article Thumbnail not appear as thumbnail?

Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually, adding the icon was all I did in that particular editing session.

But this morning, I noticed that the icon was correctly set. Not sure if it was a cache issue.

Is there a way to enable alerts when someone adds a question to a published article?

Download links not working in Preview mode

I'm updating one of my old articles using the Article Submission Wizard. I've uploaded new downloads and updated the links in the article. But when I go to preview mode and test the downloads, for all of them I get "No download file was specified".

I've looked at the HTML source in the editor, and it does look reasonable.

The current (old) article is "The Spiral TrackBar Control" (https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/719643/The-Spiral-TrackBar-Control-2).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Graham

To my knowledge, I don't believe you can download files from a preview. I think the article must be published.

Ok, that explains it. I published, and the links work.

Hello,

i just develop a antivirus in vb.net, and i'm getting the error below. The application needs to scan files in the given path, and i'm being denied access.

Can you explain what could be causing the error?

could it be code bug?

This is nothing to do with an Article you have written. Please use the correct forum for your question, e.g. https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^].

And the answer is that your application is running in an account that does not have universal access.

In my recent submission, I have marked it in composition because some of the images are not showing up in the article. The images look look fine in the editor, so I am not sure how to proceed.

When you are ready to go live, please let me know and I will ensure the images are visible when I make the article live.

I also encountered the same problem every time I post an article/tip this year. I resolved it by changing the img tag from

HTML

<img src="..." width="20" height="20" />

HTML

<img src="..." width="20" height="20"></img>

But sometimes the editor automatically change it back to the 1st form again.

Just a comment... All the HTML standards say that the img tag does not allow an end tag /img. Browsers are probably smart enough to ignore it.

Yes, you are right! img tag should be unclosed according to HTML img tag

HTML

<img src="..." width="20" height="20">

Maybe the article editor automatically converts it to

HTML

<img src="..." width="20" height="20" />

that confused the web browser?

Things like <img ... /> instead of <img ... > tend to be swept under the carpet by browsers. Things like online editors are probably more sensitive souls.

All three forms of img tags works for me when I view my standalone article.html on web browser. It is only when I copied and pasted the article onto the online editor that it starts to auto format my html that the images do not shown up after submission.

Restore an Article that was accidentally deleted

I don't even know if this would even find an answer that puts things back for me.

I've accidentally deleted an article of mine and have lost the article and likely a couple years of reputation points as well.

Quick Google Search didn't bring me to the right page, so I thought I'll pen down a question instead.

It is possible to restore a deleted article back (along with its Reputation history)?

Edit: I have found a draft of the deleted article. Would publishing that with some updates bring back the reputation history?

Thanks in advance.

Restoring the article should restore the rating, comments, stats, and reputation of the article. If a few days goes by and your reputation is unaffected, mention something in Bugs and Suggestions[^].

It's actually a little weird, the system treats it like a brand new article, but it keeps everything it once was.

Would you like me to restore it? Is it this one?
