I was writing an article, saved it a number of times. But then accidentally clicked the Back button (actually pressed the Backspace keyboard button in Firefox). When I returned to the article draft via account menu it was blanked out: currently it is in the article empty template state! Like I wasn't writing and saving at all.
How can I recover my draft back?!
Thanks.

If you go back to the start[^] you should see your article in a list of auto-saved drafts at the right of that page.

Don't see auto-saved drafts list on Start[^], sorry.

Hi!
You won't believe how many times this has happened. But somehow I always find it in an auto saved folder - maybe not always in the most updated version. But a version of it is sometimes found. But sometimes it's not even there.

I translated a portion of this[^] code to C# for converting and merging f4f fragments into a single flv.
I want to share that C# code on code project, but I don't intend to give a complete explanation of internal working.I'll just give a little summary.
Should I consider writing an Article for this or just share it as Tip?
Thanks

That makes it a Tip; an article is expected to have a fully detailed description of how the code works, what it does, and how it can be implemented by others.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Hi there,
I have currently finished writing a small article about a piece of software I developed.
Although the code itself makes up only 740KB zipped, it is dependent on external libraries, that need to be deployed along the program to run.
In my case this external library is a modified version of the Chromium browser itself.
Unfortunately, the size of this redistributable package including chromium and all of its dependencies is 21MB in its compressed form, making it uneligible to be uploaded using the Article Submission Wizard.
Chromium in its source form requires a minimum of 15GB disk space, so this is not an option either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

What we'll have to do is use a local link for the 740KB, and an external one for the rest. Would that be acceptable? Sadly we can't host files that big.
Thanks,

No problem, I included the binary package into the Github source and mentioned its existence in the article, I will update it to reflect the fact, that the binaries are not hosted here.

Hello Whom(to which I query):
I appreciate your assistance greatly!
I don't know if my problem is due to my naivety or a technical problem with the web site, but, the Article Submission Wizard 'Add Files' and 'Preview' functions seem not to be working.
The Add File function shows a path of C:\fakepath\...
I don't know if that is wgat it should be or not, but the Upload just chases it's tail
The Preview just times out.
Is There something I missed or am I just doing it all wrong?

Hi Jaxon7,
What browser are you using?
Rather than have you haggle with the system, please email me the original HTML for the article article and code in a .rar, or renamed .zip (ie .notzip) file, and I would be happy to set things right.
Thanks,

Hello everyone !
I just added my technical blog. It's on blogger, so my first surprise was it not showing up at all. I then switched the feed from Atom to RSS, and it showed up just fine.
In my article i tried to replicate the tags used on CodeProject the best i could, however when the article was pulled, the tags associated with it was totally off, and i had to go and edit the article on CodeProject to categorize it right.
Is there something i'm missing ? Maybe the way blogger exposes tags is incompatible in the way CodeProject detects tags ? Or maybe it's possible to just annotate the article on the blog with microformats ?
This is the feed url i submitted:
http://www.i-technology.net/feeds/posts/default/-/CodeProject?alt=rss[^]
No clue here, just trying to figure out what could have gone wrong. That aside i think it's totally awesome to be able to post an article on my blog, and have it automagically syndicated over here. Great job on that !
Thanks in advance,
Robert
If it ain't broken ..fix it !

Hi Robert,
When the aggregator pulls your blog posts it assigns it a default section and tags. "Uncategorized Technical Blogs" and "All-Topics". Unfortunately we have to pick the section and tags manually. 
If you have any further concerns please let me know.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply
Actually i thought i did something wrong somewhere, since it's kind of contradictive to have an automated mechanism that can pull articles, if you then have to come in person to configure things manually.
Would be cool if the parser could just match tags that are already configured here, with the tags exposed in the article. Like this authors would just have to comply with the syntax used here, which i doubt would pose any problems to anyone.
Thanks again, and hope to see some evolutions on that side. The system is a great idea, but i understand you need a minimum of compliance between your actual system and distant posts.

Admin !!!!! Kindly help me with my code as when i paste it from a code editor and do the formatting select C# language, first it shows the correct code but then it still shows garbage. Kindly remove these defects and post my article. I am fed up of doing this and have wasted more than 6 hours on this !!!

I want to publish my one of the article to the code project but i am not getting how to attach demo application to my article.

If you are using the Article Wizard, there's an option to upload files (you should see this to the right of the article editor). Once you've uploaded a file, another option becomes available to insert this file.

I saw an article recently and I realized that it performed an identical function to an article that I posted. I wanted to show that my article was an alternative. When I went to the alternative article section the site expected me to write out a whole new article. Is there a way that I link my article as an alternative article?
|
|

|

What I would do in this case is reach out to the author of that article and ask permission to host a link to yours in it. If they haven't read yours yet, I'm sure they would love to
Can you please give a link to both?
Thanks,
