They do give that information; it's just that too many people do not bother to read it.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

You get it to the T. Exactly I meant that but couldn't explain.

Yes. In both cases, 1.
A voting system of 1 to 5 is as old as the hills. I cannot believe that there is a general confusion regarding how to score something on a scale of 1 to 5.

Thanks Chris, Thanks Richard,
If you see the message from Shams Dar, this is what I meant. Though I understand its common rating mechanism and that people do not read documentation.
But, as I can see there are many cases, where OP has accepted solution and also written comment like "It worked", "Thanks a lot" etc. Still rated the solution at 1 star.
Probably, once your rate, a message below rating which states You Rated this post "Very Bad" or "Very Useful" etc would help everyone understand the repercussation of their action.
Hope this makes sense. If not, we can consider this topic closed. I personnally don't have any issue with the mechanism as such

In Question/Answer Page, There is a section Top Experts in 24hrs and Top Experts this month. There Serial No Starting from 0. Is there any reason behind this. I think the serial No. must start from 1.

Real programmers start lists at 0.

What number does an array index start from.
Maybe the joke is getting old...

Obviously Array Index starts from 0. I am really feeling Good after knowing that real programmers starts Serial No from 0.
Thanks.

I think it is a genuine aesthetic issue. For the user and display it should be (1) and for the program internally, it can continue zero-indexing. A quick patch like
<%=(i+1%>
if you are using a repeater control for this should help remedy it.

Hi,
I recently started this article, and edited it over a few days and then published it. As far as I could see it never made it to the Latest Articles bit. Looking at it, it has an "Updated" date set long before the publishing date (even though I updated it just before publishing). 
My guess is that when I published, whatever compiles the list of articles for the category looks first at the Created date to see if it's new, rather than the Published date, and if it's not deemed new then then it looks at the Updated date, which is the right idea but doesn't appear to be have been stamped totally correctly if an article's been in draft status for a while.
I do accept it's perfectly possible I'm just coming up with an elaborately creative way to assure myself this is why my article seemed to be tucked away from the word go. If it's purely because it sucks then I'll be quiet and I'm sorry!
Thanks.
In the beginning there was nothing.

We'll check out what happened. I'm sure it's us, not you 
[Edit: it was us, not you. Our editing system allows us more control than you guys get, and one of those controls is to not upset the dates. In this case the dates should have been updated. We're fixing it to reduce foot-shooting situations.]

In programming questions and answer section,the comments doesn't contain any voting/rating option.I think it may be included to increase better connectivity between people who gives answer.

The name checker was hard to fool, but a ​ managed to do the trick. Sometimes, anyway. Other times it fails for mysterious reasons - I'm not exactly sure under what circumstances it fails to work.
I'll change my name back asap, please don't ban me

Looks like a bug. Need to strip out all non printing characters to prevent this, I guess.
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Under 'Notifications', there is a check box, which when selected can be marked as read and also there a green tick mark to the right, which does the same job. Are these BOTH necessary? Could do with either of the two.
Just a thought..
|
|
|
|

The checkboxes allow you to select a bunch at once, or they are used by the "Select All" checkbox at the top. This is useful when you're in the mode of thinking "let me collect together all the ones I want to mark as read in one go.
The green tick mark is, technically, not needed, but allows you to mark items as read in a casual, ad-hoc, disorganised manner.

Hi,
Firstly this article on CodeProject - it's superb:
Undo and Redo the "Easy" Way[^]
However the program doesn't work and there's no reply since 2010. Debugging it isn't straightforward due to the nature of the problem at hand, and there doesn't seem to be any way to contact the author...
Can the any admins send this guy a mail or something? Is that possible? It's a great piece of work that could be really useful and it seems a shame for it to be in this state.
Right now this XKCD is pretty on point:

Thanks

Our only means of contact is that same as your means: their email address. When you post a message on one of their articles the message is sent to their inbox using the same email address that we would use if mailing them directly.
You may have to dive in, debug the code yourself, and then, if you're keen, post an update - maybe as an alternative article?

Ah ok I didn't know that re email comms. I'll post something on the project page for a start.
I had the feeling that I might end up fixing it. I've already done a bit of preliminary tracing, though it would be a bonus if the author is able to help. Current thoughts seem to indicate the memory allocator, it's interaction with the STL exception handler and / or the pointer stashing technique used and it's relationship with x64 arch. Some allocations work, some don't, and it's not an obvious bug at first glance - fun times...
Does CodeProject support any kind of mutual code collaboration setup? If not do people host code on bitbucket / github and reference it from here or whatever?
Thanks
