No, different issue. It's an issue with 7z files. Looking into it (and moving this thread)

cheers

I've converted the 7z file to a zip file while we work out the issue. It's simply an issue with our system not liking 7z's

You can close it yourself:

Look in the top right of this page, and hover the mouse over your username.

From the menu that appears, select "My Settings".

The settings page is organised into tabs: pick the "Account" tab.

On the right side of the page, under your avatar picture (if any) there is a checkbox "Close my account"

Check this, and a dialog will appear: "Are you sure? Once you deactivate your account you will lose access to your posts, articles and data." Select "OK".

Make sure "I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for this site" is also checked, and press the "Save my Settings" button.

Your account is gone.

Nice explanation.

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thank you very much for the detailed instruction.

"Once you deactivate your account you will lose access to your posts, articles and data." Select "OK"."....does it also mean my Posts etc. will also disappear in the CP database, in the sense of also other cannot see them anymore?

As I understand it: Lose access to, and disappear isn't the same thing.

Hi in my newly submitted article:
[^]

the code and image links are broken.
This happens now the third time after submitting a new article. What do I do else than others?
Thanks
Edgar

Have you already looked at the FAQ, especially how you can view and modify the content in HTML format Code Project Article FAQ / Know HTML[^]

Also have a look at this excellent tip Using the Article Editor (without losing your hair in handfuls)[^]

Edgar Maass14-Jan-15 9:10

14-Jan-15 9:10

Yes. I am doing it as in your last link. In the article editor is looks OK, also the links are OK, relative to the article URL.

-> But as soon as I publish the article, all links show broken.

Actually, if I look at your article Kinect Point Cloud using OpenGL [^] I can see all of the images just fine. As you said they were not visible a short while ago.

Just a guess but could there be a delay (because of cache refresh interval?) that would cause a short period when the images are not visible just after publishing?

Edgar Maass14-Jan-15 9:18

No, Chris Maunder from the support fixed the article.

Thanks, Chris, btw Smile | :)

I did not get to see precisely what was wrong initially, but this is a complaint I hear from time to time. Sometimes I think it may be a server issue, where you uploaded your images and they simply they haven't spread across all servers yet.

The other possibility is the images have the wrong path. If you add your images when the editor is in the WYSIWYG mode you would add them using the little arrow button, shown here:
Code Project Article FAQ[^]

If you want to add your images using the HTML mode in your article they would look like this:
<img src="861867/1._All.PNG" />

The same would be true for the file paths.

Thanks,

Thanks, Sean. For me it sounds like it is possibility 1, as the path of the images were OK, which was confirmed by the support.

What is the best way to get a fast support next time? Is there some email list I can address this when it happens again?

(It happened all 3 times I submitted an article, last time I got some 5 complaints of users who could not download code/ or see the images).

Thanks,
Edgar

If you're having issues like this, write your article offline and submit it to CodeProject via email. There are details on how to do this here[^]. You'll avoid all these issues by doing this.
