That's an article. A reference article.

Thanks. I too thought so. Converted.

Up until fairly recently, only CPians above a certain reputation level were allowed to vote on new articles, but it now seems that anyone can do so. I suspect this often means the use of friends and/or sock puppets to get sub-standard or incomplete articles published.
|

|
|
|
When I signed on as an editor, one of the restrictions asked was that we didn't touch new articles (articles less than three months old). Perhaps if this restriction were lifted, we'd help tackle the backlog.

On the main page under Cast your vote, for some reason the first in the list is "Best ASP.NET article of April 2011".
I took a look at them and they look like good articles, but they are not from last month

You run a monthly article competition, you give it rules like "appear on these dates in 2011 and only 2011," you dig a hole in the ground when it's finished it's life, you bury it, and somehow (against all logic) it rises up and walks again.
Why won't monthly article competitions stay buried?
(I've fixed the problem - thank you kindly for the report)

No problem.
When it was still open, I was looking at it and wondered if it was possible to cast a vote - in the end I must admit I just could not help myself. Sorry if you now have to go back and declare a new winner  (actually, my vote went to the article that won).

- server logged me out...
- page back to fixed...
- question tag filters auto filled!
5-10 minutes from now.

Yeah, I'm having problems too. It reverted to 10 messages per page instead of my custom 50. Doesn't want to change back. 
|
|
|
|
|
I just had that. I'm back to 50 now. This is the second time in a couple of days for me.
|
|
|
|
|
To add more info, I got an invalid viewstate error, and the forums disappeared entirely for a minute or so (page loaded, but the main content area was empty). And I lost a message I was posting to the abyss.

Same here. The odds are 50 to 10 that it works this way.
|
|
|
|
|
A bit of a server issues.
Should be good now

Life is great!!! Enjoy every moment of it!

It is. However, after downloading the demo project of this article[^] just now, the browser automatically closed this page's tab. I've had this problem only in the past week or so and only twice before.

After downloading the tab closed? That's very, very weird. We don't have any code to close a window, and if we did the browser should pop up with a message "The page you are on is trying to close the window".

Yep. It's happened just a couple of times before. Very annoying. The weird thing is, the closed tab does not appear in the Reopen Closed Tab list. So I think it's a browser issue. I've only experienced it at CP when I'm downloading, but this is one of the few sites that I download from at work.

Thanks everything working fine now.
Strange though, I did not received an email of this reply that you gave me here. (I see, I am getting emails for the comments in Q&A though.)

1. It is annoying.
2. When in an article, you read the comments (and so the title change), then email the page (via browser), the message title get's chosen as the email subject, which could be anything (aka 'My vote of 2').
I think we can all agree that this is a terrible design mistake (j/k )

I'll think about it. I personally find it very helpful.

I agree that it is helpful.
But it gets a bit hard when you have 3 or more tabs open on CP all pointing to a message and you having to guess which one was the Lounge again.

How about a setting so people can turn it on or off themselves? I personally don't like it.
public class SysAdmin : Employee
{
public override void DoWork(IWorkItem workItem)
{
if (workItem.User.Type == UserType.NoLearn){
throw new NoIWillNotFixYourComputerException(new Luser(workItem.User));
}else{
base.DoWork(workItem);
}
}
}

It's gone.

They new draft seems identical, so I should just be able to get rid of it by running through the wizard. May I proceed?

The text in the Home page under the Articles tab does not always wrap inside the border. In some instances, the word extends outside the border before the next word wraps.
I'm using IE8 at work.
