Hey guys, I am living in Pakistan and we have slow Internet connections available here, ~8mb. Today when I was publishing my article, I missed the category field since this article was saved in a draft for more than 7 days and today I published it.
After publishing and page reloading, it gave me error saying, Please select a category for the article. Would it be a good idea, to control this type of error in the client side? A single code line to check whether the Select has been changed or not would save 20seconds of our time and will be a good UX too.
Thanks,
Do tell me, if my idea is not a good one.

This "article"[^] was the Featured Article on the CP home page a few minutes ago. How is that even possible?

If you look at any article, for instance, this one[^] (randomly selected from the CP Home page), if one tries to access with the URL ending with the ID+'/'[^], it works. But it redirects to his articles if one tries with the URL ending with just the ID[^] i.e. without a '/' at the end.
I don't think this is by design. A bug maybe?
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

This is by design. We have two different routes:
/articles/{articleId}/*{articleSlug} which displays the Article with the articleId
and
/articles/{memberId} which displays the articles for the member with the memberId.

while shortening some article links of this site on MY Site Smal.US then I found some bug in your site
Working URLs
there are 4 normal ways to open every site site excluding https:// and https://www. :
1. codeproject.com
2. www.codeproject.com
3. http://codeproject.com
4. http://www.codeproject.com
these are working well but
when you enter article URL in the form 3 way
for eg. have a look to this link article
http://codeproject.com/Articles/491362/Comparing-Ruby-and-Csharp-Performance
and
https://codeproject.com/Articles/491362/Comparing-Ruby-and-Csharp-Performance
It will redirect to error 404 page instead of article page
this reducing your visit

It's not a bug with CodeProject. CodeProject doesn't have an https version.

Actually, CodeProject pages have a setting which determine if HTTP or HTTPs is required for a page and will redirect to the correct protocol if required.
Pages that handle sensitive user information, such a passwords, all (hopefully) require HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
|
The urls codeproject.com, www.codeproject.com, http://codeproject.com, and http://www.codeproject.com all result in either a redirect or url rewrite (I can't remember which) to http://www.codeproject.com.
This does not happen on other codeproject.com urls as this would result in multiple urls resolving to the same content (articles or messages). That is a bad thing for SEO and Page Ranking.

Chris tells me I am mistaken and that this is a bug to add to my list.

I think the rep points on top near the profile name updates slowly than the on the professional profile.

|

Yes. Its due to some caching mechanism involved. No bug at all.

I have used facebook login for creating my account and the email id generated in my account in settings section is something like
app+86l2k1gtv9.1e7ujnb.05797a84e44ab71128c4cb4eb7679fe6@proxymail.facebook.com
How do I confirm my account as I don't receive any confirmation mail on my email id associated with facebook?
I tried clicking resend the confirmation mail, doesn't help me either.
Thanks.

That's a crazy email!
You can always update your email on CodeProject with an email account that works for you.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page it tells you.

I think he already know that. The bottom of the page shows explanation of symbols only. I think he is curious to know what CP staff mean by Rejected or Closed.

rejected == not accepted as a suggestion, and I try and provide an explanation as to why.
closed == the issue or discussion is no longer an open issue or discussion: either the issue's gone away or the discussion has been finalised.

On QA: "Fictional online bank program" [^].
I suggest you read the comments to the OP before the question is closed.
At one point the OP ... responding to comments ... writes:
What are you talking about? this is my first program that I am trying to write. I've only been studying C# for a few weeks and as it is mid term I can't speak with anyone in my class for guidance. I was only asking for some advice there's no need to berate me for being new to this area of study, I'm sure you were a beginner at some stage. Of course, one could take the position that it is the OP's responsibility that they waited until the mid-term to get started, and, further, that the question is of debatable appropriateness/value because it gives no evidence the OP has even started trying to write code.
But, since it's not quite Halloween yet in any corner of the globe, does the OP's whatever deserve being called a "horror" ?

A lot of people on code project make horrors for newbies not thinking they are new to Cp or even to programming.I have experienced something like that earlier and i had left Cp for months now also i am experiencing same

Thanks for posting the link Bill. I've given an answer, as well as a reply to our resident site bully. Hopefully my subtlety of comment will not elude him.

Pete, I really feel that this guy is more of a liability than an asset.
I get that there's a tendency to want to maintain quality here. To me, that's enshrined in the articles and tips. True that there are sometimes really dumb questions on QA. I'll often have a stab at getting the poster to improve the question and how, OG is especially good at this practice. I hope that I'm never perceived as rude, although (true Brit as I am) I am direct. SA is frequently rude and aggressive and, worse, he often doesn't fully read the question. He berated me recently for pointing out a C++ error in a posting that had both VB and C++ ridiculing me for using C syntax in a VB post.
A better home for him, IMO, is SO where the quality of the questions and answers is everything. There's no doubting his technical abilities, but his attitude sucks. CP is a much friendlier and more collaborative place than SO. I use both as a resource, but my "home" is here!
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.
