I moved my blog from sanderrossel.wordpress.com to my self hosted sanderrossel.com. Quite the hassle. So I'm now manually changing all links to my old blog so that they refer to my new blog.
There's one thing I can't quite figure out though, and that's the Add comment or Comments: n part on the bottom of my blogs here on CodeProject. How can I change those so that they actually link to my new blog?
Thanks.

Didn't understand you...Do you want that the comments in CP will be on your blog too? It doesn't work that way...CP consuming your blog by do a one time copy of your post when you publish them...It is a one-direction connection...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

No, what I mean is that on the bottom of my blog (above the CP comments and even above my picture) is a little link that says "Add comment" or "Comments: n" and which takes you to the comment section on my blog. And I wish to change that so it shows the number of comments on my new blog.

Unfortunately those links will have to be changed manually. I'm also not 100% certain they will update to reflect the correct number of comments on your blog, should the comments increase.

Having your blog reposted on CodeProject is meant to allow you to share your work, your knowledge, with as many people as possible. We don't support the scenario of allowing blog controls such as social or comment systems that refer back to the original blog to appear in the syndicated blogs on CodeProject.

I mean the little link at the bottom of my blog. It gets put there by CodeProject (I assumed up till now) when the blog is hauled in.
When you click on the link (it's actually an image) you go to the comments of the original blog.

The HTML is as follows:

HTML

<a href="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/sanderrossel.wordpress.com/25/" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/sanderrossel.wordpress.com/25/" /></a> <img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://pixel.wp.com/b.gif?host=sanderrossel.wordpress.com&blog=78067589&post=25&subd=sanderrossel&ref=&feed=1" width="1" /></p>

You mean to say this actually comes from my original WordPress blog? Because I didn't add it there and I haven't seen it either...

I was just wondering how you got the href and img src's so I could change them to my new blog (simply changing to my new domain doesn't work).

Chris, I've found the part I'm looking for. It seems they are automagically added to my feed by WordPress, so I should change the part I'm talking about myself.
My new feed simply puts a link at the bottom "This blog was originally posted on <a href="...">...</a>".

Funny, I always thought this was a cool CodeProject feature Smile | :)

So I understand your confusion (and mine) Laugh | :laugh:

By the way, can I tag my newest blog correctly, or do you still need to work with the incorrect tags?

Thanks! I just fixed all my blogs and saved this one for last.
I guess you can consider all my personal blog issues case closed (phew, I'll sleep a lot easier tonight!) Big Grin | :-D

Not a big deal, but I have no any forum notifications now although "Enable general forum notification emails", "Enable article forum notification emails", "Enable Quick Answers notification emails" are checked in my Settings.

I have changed my login e-mail on CodeProject some weeks before so maybe notifications are still delivered to my former e-mail? Cannot check it because I do not work in that company anymore.

My new address is Gmail-based.

I have sent you an email confirmation request which should help resolve the issue. Please let me know if you receive it OK.

Auto Formatting when copy and pasting.

I have all but given up on CP, in favour of StackOverflow, for asking (or even sometimes answering) questions where I must copy and paste code, and now even when I copy and paste non-code that may contain a bracket or something, because anything I paste quickly gets wrapped in a "pre" tag, before I have chance to do anything, all my carefully placed and thought out parenthesis etc. get escaped and unreadable. Then, to crown it all, Ctrl+Z doesn't undo, so I have to delete a mess like below, taking all my typing and/or pasting down the drain as well.

When you paste, a dialog should pop up offering you the options on how you want the pasted text to be treated.

Is this not happening?

Very (most) often not, or I see something flash on and off, then the paste is wrapped and formatted. Maybe my side now that I think things over, but since whinging about it, when I tried pasting into this post, I saw it clearly. It hides away again as soon as I type, so maybe I was pasting then resuming typing too quickly.

Thanks Chris, I'll just slow down and pause when I paste for now, but it would be nice (IMHO) to default to "paste as is", and let the user apply formatting if they miss the dialogue. I see it defaults to "code block".

Go to your settings[^], click the Forums tab and you can set the default there.

My setting for default is "

Paste Text only

", but even when I pasted that, the dialogue defaulted to "code block". I did log out and in again before checking.

OK, figured out part 1 here. When the dialogue pops up, it's normally bottom-right (but very bottom), so I easily miss it, but part 2 still here, i.e. the dialogue not heeding my settings.

This intentional?

Somebody mentioned me in a discussion, and I got an email from their email address (the one they signed up with) telling me that I had been mentioned in a discussion. So now I have their email address.

Is that a bug or a feature?

It should not be from his/her email address. I'm pretty sure its bug.
