Yes, but this page has to be online. So, my idea was to simply be able to upload some other pages that you can link from your article. In fact, doxygen and javadoc both generate mutliple html pages and one index page.

Would something as simple as allowing you to have "child" articles do the trick? I'm not keen on allowing straight HTML documents to be uploaded and served from our site because of the security issues (hosting ActiveX controls, phishing etc) but child articles, to which you could link to, may help? Maybe?

Yes, that would be an improvement. This could be for instance nice if you have a very large article that you could divide into section and have an introduction and a table of content on the root page. But it is not really a need though.
On the other hand, I don't think it will be possible to host generated documentation this way. Anyway, what I did is that I simply attached a zip file containing the generated documentation along my article.

Chris, I just got one of those empty forum pages at http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1649&fr=26#xx0xx[^]
I was reading, not writing or editing, several messages on page 1; when I reached the bottom I clicked
"next" and got an empty page (i.e. normal forum page however with zero messages); footer says Web12.
Not sure how I can help by providing more, looking at something in particular, ... I do have a screen shot, if you want it ask for +CodeProject_C_Discussion_Boards_Free_source_code_and_programming_help_Mozilla_Firefox_20090312_031833.jpg

I'm seeing it again, too, usually after I edit a post.

I've managed to replicate it but not repeatidly or consistently. I'm having another crack at tracking it down now.

Chris, I just had a new experience: in VB forum, in a thread at the bottom of a page, I added my reply and when I clicked "post message", the forum page came back, but my reply was not on it, it was now the first message on the next page. That is not ideal but it struck me as I do not recall having had that happen to me ever before. Since it might be related to the empty forum phenomenon I thought I'd report it.

Not sure how long you can do that.
The good thing is I am now capable of sending myself an e-mail reply. I wouldn't mind you providing some insight in what went wrong before... always eager to learn.
Thanks.

I just experienced a similar thing. I edited one of my posts and all I can see is a lounge without any messages. I was on page 9 and certainly it was not the last page. I could see only the 1st page with all the messages. None of the later pages were showing messages.

How many messages per page do you have set?

25...I have the screen shot if that is of any help. I could not find where to put that though

No need - I just experienced the issue myself and have narrowed it down a little.
Thanks!

The homepage right now contains an article-needing-approval[^] dated 12-MAR, while it still is 11-MAR overhere for the next 15 minutes. Wasn't the idea to always show datetime local to the viewer?

what's your timezone? Are you in or out of daylight savings? (You can set this in your profile)

I'm in Antwerp, Belgium, that's GMT+1
My CP settings currently are GMT+1 and "Are you currently in Daylight Saving Time?" unchecked.
Don't know how to interpret that, I would hope it works automatically, Windows knows we haven't switched to "summer time" yet. Are you saying I should change the setting twice a year?
ADDED: message changed at 1:02 local time to watch how it gets timestamped.

Windows knows on your machine, but I can't ask your machine to tell my servers whether you're in daylight savings.
There are databases that kinda sorta vaguely give me an idea based on your IP, but they are never up to date. So I have to just resort to the old fashioned way of actually asking you.

Hi Chris,
I now checked the daylight savings box (it does not look right, Daylight Savings Time is summer time isn't it, we are still in winter time, will switch end of March).
I logged off from CP, rebooted, logged on, hit CTRL/F5 no change.
It is now 0:55 here, first article-needing-approval still says 12-MAR, same as 1 hour ago.
I can live with it though.
FWIW: am running Vista, FF3, your browser check gives:

IE False
Opera False
WebKit False
Browser MOZILLA

Minor Version 0.9
Web 2.0 Enabled True
Mobile Device False
Cookies OK? True

PS: trying with messages to see how it works.
young messages get displayed relative to now (1 min ago, ...)
after 5 minutes message modifications result in a timestamp (see above message), unfortunately it is using Toronto time (as in modified on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 8:02 PM) for a change I applied Thursday morning at 1:02
I could call that a bug an inconsistency feature.

I was in the process of posting a new thread in the NHibernate forums, and noticed that when you create a new thread, the Message Body is pre-filled in with a list of "Where you should go get help first, before posting a new thread" type of remarks.
I thought that was rather genius, and considered that perhaps you could do something similar for lounge posts. When a new lounge post is created, the message body would start off with the text:
DO NOT POST PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS IN THE LOUNGE!
You can go here, or here or here ....blaa blaa blaa
The person would have to actually select and delete that text out of the message, in order to start with a clean post.
Just a thought.
[edit]
Take this a step further, since it's typically newbies posting programming questions in the lounge, and only pre-populate the message body if the user is a bronze member (or whatever they are these days).
-or-
if the subject contains the word PLZ ...

Chris - the voting for the article "A beginner’s guide for consuming a WCF service in JavaScript using ASP.NET AJAX" in the C# articles looks highly suspicious. I can't believe that so many people would vote for this so quickly over Sacha's articles. I know you can track things via IP address - can you check the voting on this?

If someone at a large company posts an article and everyone in their company votes for it, is that bad? (eg someone at IBM or Wal-mart) or is it legitimate support by ones co-workers?

I have to say, that I do actually get a few votes from people at work. But you know they benefit from my artcicles, so I think that is ok for them to vote. If they are actually work collegues.

If everybody in a company votes for it, it's fine - if it's shill accounts set up then that's not fine.
