No, it is an oooooold article from Visual Studio 6 times...
Thanks God they are still not moderating it...

This post in the Lounge: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4865805/Clickable-Link.aspx[^] Has a - you guessed it - clickable link embedded in the subject.
I'm not sure this should be allowed:
1) It provides a place for spam links to be hidden
2) If you can link, then presumably you can add other HTML - which gives the malicious an opening to "destroy" the rest of the page.

well, isn't every subject a clickable link that opens the message it's associated to? I don't see any other link in that topic other than that it opens the message. 
(I just noticed that it has a clickable smiley if that's what you meant:  )

I have noticed that more OPs in Q&A seem to be using the "Have a Question or Comment" button rather than "Reply" when responding to comments in their questions. Which means we don't get notified when they think they are responding to our comment or question. And looking at the latest example I can sort of see why. Would it be possible to keep the former above all the existing comments (i.e. just below the question), and move the "Reply" buttons to below the comments?

Good idea to rearrange visual of the QA question page - there is a lot of confusion there...

Good idea !

No idea if this is the right forum but don't know where else to put it since the author of the article seems to be inactive since 2012.
Implement secure ASP.NET MVC applications[^]
Basically all the links in that article that lead to another codeproject article are broken.
O and by the way, love the 'controller or action not found' page

I think this is probably an OK place for such a report. I believe I have fixed all the links

Hii ,
There should be an image attchment functiloity availble while posting the question , which will make more simple to explain the things what exactly we want
|
|
|
|
|
In some (and extremely rare) cases that will really help, but most of the times we will have screenshots of Visual Studio along with the exception being thrown, won't we? 
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

You can post link to the images you have uploaded somewhere.

correct , but what if we have to explain some scenario regarding table structure n all that
|
|
|
|
|
This has been asked for many times. If we could trust everyone to be sensible and not post offensive images, there would be no problem. Sadly, you just know that some idiot would post something stupid.

cent percent ryt u are . i only feel to explain something we should have such functionality, some time words are not just enough to explain what we are expecting actually . Many when there is a situation to explain table structure on database level questions .
Anyways .. i have just suggested what i would like to have on code project .
few months back i used to post my own question answers and memebers voted for me and i had been thrown out of the codeprojet , codeporject is strict enough to handle this type of situtaion which u explained now that some stupid would post some stupid things ..

Recently I have updated my article that is
Relationship in Entity Framework Using Code First Approach With Fluent API
[^]
When I update it then it is showing Downloads 76 but now it has 94. But in my reputation history I didn't get these along with points.
Could I not get reputation after update an article for downloads or something else?
Anybody can confirm why this is happening?
Thanks, Looking a positive response.

edit #1 ...
The thought occurs to me that I should be more specific about what I perceive as the "issue" here.
I think CP is "blessed" with these great articles that have enduring value; often, the author maintains, updates, further develops thems, extends them, for years. The names of CP authors like Mehdi Gholam, George Mamaladze, Philip Piper, Jani Giannoudis, and Pavel Torgashov, immediately come to my mind, as exemplars, and teachers.
No one in their "right mind" would complain about such gifts, and, whether my brain is right, or left, I ain't complainin', in this post, in any way !
What does happen ... and hence what I perceive as "the issue" ... is that, after a time, the author moves on to other things ... why shouldn't they ? Or, the author may not update the article, or respond to problem reports or questions, for some period of time: like maybe they gotta real life, a job, a family, kids, bills to pay  ?
And, then, you may find further development, problem fixes, and useful extensions, is "carried on" in the comments on the articles. Or, the author may update the article, but not wish to implement some code extension, or optimization suggested in the comments.
So, the focus of this post is: how, possibly, CP might assist people being able to easily find content in the comments that may help them be aware of the full-range of possibilities currently available in the article content, or find suggestions for working-around/fixing problems.
end edit #1 ...
Several times in the last years I've done a dance something like this:
1. found a great CP article with some wondrous code, or Control (WinForms in my case).
2. downloaded said Control's source, and started studying it, programming to it / with it, modifying it, getting ideas from it, etc.
3. "stumbled" on some aspect of using the Control that was problematic, or came to a place where I wanted to extend it, and was experimenting with alternative uses of it.
4. gone back to the CP article and (laboriously) searched through the comments on the article. i will explain why I use the term "laboriously" quite soon ...
Sure enough, many times there was "gold in them 'thar hills:" another user had asked the same question(s) I might have asked, and gotten good responses from the article author, or other CP members; even better, other CP members may have found a solution for the same demonic infestation vexing me, and provided an apotropaic code-mantra, or extended the Control in nifty ways, and posted their code.
Well, here's the nub: if you search CP with the title of the article, and your keyword(s) that you want to find in the comments, you'll get links to the page of the CP Member that lists all their posts.
So you've got to then possibly scan their listed posts to locate the one relevant to the article, then click on it to get to their comment on the article.
If you choose to simply open comment-thread pages within the article itself, well: in the case of many of CP's "classic" articles, there may be many hundreds of comments (and many of the comments contain discussions, comments on comments, etc.), and, with a limit of 50 comment-threads open at a time: using your browser's current-page search facility to manually search on keywords (and, you'll have to wade through "hits" in the body of article first).
I think you may see why I used the word, "laboriously."
Now, of course, you can use Google; an example of search text:
monthview "A Professional Calendar Agenda View That You Will Use" site:codeproject.com Which results in: [^].
And, bingo, you are looking at the comment poster's CP "Latest Messages" page ... another hop-skip-jump. And, what's on that page is, I understand, limited to the last 200 posts.
In the example search ... one I actually performed today because I am checking out the excellent MonthView Control that is on-offer in Jose Menendez Póo's sublime WinForm CalendarControl smorgasbord. For me, using Google was a slight improvement over CP search, or using the wagon with square-wheels approach of opening each comment-thread page, and manually searching for a keyword.
Póo's article does, indeed, have a vast number of comment threads, and I shudder to think of how many total responses might be nesting in those threads. I was lucky, in this case, because the topic I was interested in, "MonthView," was quite narrowly defined, which made it a good candidate as a search-engine keyword.
Sure enough, after about ten minutes of searching the comments on Menendez' article, I was able to locate code for implementing BoldedDates in the MonthView Control in a comment several years old. I am now adapting, and extending, that code, and, of course, will share it if I feel it is valuable for others.
At last, we come to the point:
Could CP's search facility be enhanced to make it easy/easier to search an article's comments ? imho, if there could be a way to filter the search results to those which included code, that would be extra-delicious.
This fugue can be considered a recapitulation of a theme I've talked about here on Suggs & Buggs before (in the context of certain posts on the Lounge): the issue of how certain "rarer" content that appears here can be somehow "hoisted" above the madding-crowd, salvaged from the flotsam-and-jetsam of the Q&A on-going hurricano, and made more "visible" for posterity.
Of course, the conundrum in that is that there might be some very high-percentage of nigh-on eleven-million uniquenesses each of whom has their own holy version of "rare"
thanks, Bill

I'm sorry, I got lost in your discussion of the issue.
Could you please provide an example of a query that illustrates the problem, what you got and why this response was not what you wanted.
Thanks

Well, yes, I am long-winded  I hope if you re-read these paragraphs, you will see one specific example of what I am talking about:
"In the example search ... one I actually performed today because I am checking out the excellent MonthView Control that is on-offer in Jose Menendez Póo's sublime WinForm CalendarControl smorgasbord.
