Hi there,
Recently my article was nominated for Best Web Dev Article of January 2016. When I last logged in on Thursday 18th, I was winning by 10 votes or so. When I woke up on Friday 19th, the competition appeared to be closed (could no longer access the voting page.)
I notice that not only did I not win, but I didn't come second either. Neither of the top two articles in the results list made it to second. Is there a way to view the total vote count after the competition has closed, so I can see what happened?
Don't get me wrong, this isn't about being a sore loser. If another article won the competition then fair enough, I'd just like to know how the votes were finalised which determined another article, which was behind by around 10-20 votes, managed to accumulate so many in the space of a few hours I was asleep.
Thanks

If you go to the Survey list[^] and choose "General" as survey type, you can see a list of all past and ongoing article competition surveys. When I look at Survey Results - Best Web Dev Article of January 2016[^], it does show that your article is listed first there, but as the disclaimer says:
Quote:
Note: These results are un-audited numbers. All voting results will be tabulated and audited at the conclusion of voting. The results you see here may differ as a result of that auditing process. CodeProject.com makes no guarantees to the live results which you see here.

I failed to save an update to my article, after I clicked the "save draft" button. The draft stored in my account didn't include that update.
I could not also use "publish" button to make an update to my article, as nothing was saved after I clicked it.
How can I update my article?

Thanks very much for your email. Could you please email me (sean@codeproject.com) the article update and the article URL and I will attempt to apply it?
Also, could you please make a post about this in the Site Bugs and Suggestions forum, stating your browser and OS? I'd like to see if anyone else is experiencing the problem.
Thanks,

I've submittted my rss to codeproject under technical blogs and nothing is consumed till now.
But I see the following message when I update my blog feed.
Your Technical Blog feed has been successfully updated. You blog's RSS feed will now be scheduled for regular download and your Technical blog articles will be submitted automatically.
Is there anything wrong at my end.

That message tells you that it is working.

How long does it take to update in code project
|
|

As long as it takes. Check that your feed is working and that your blogs are being published.

This[^] got approved but images are not being displayed and downloads are offsite.
I already contacted the owner, but if he doesn't take any action... would you mind to repair it? Thanks

Hi all,
I'm trying to update a somewhat older article.
Articles by HawVie (Article: 1) - CodeProject[^]
And when I edit the editor flashes and than disappears. How can I fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
HawVie

If you use Edge, try a different browser. There are issues with Edge (or at least have been, maybe there are new issues).

I can reproduce the problem. It appears to be a TypeError in the editor JavaScript:

This [^] looks like a blog, but I haven't seen anything in the revisions history to indicate a change. If it is not a blog then I think it should be a tip better than an article.
On the other side... downloads are offsite.

Recently my article was deleted because of abuse of the third party category.
"Unfortunately, due to abuse, we have been forced to reconsider all of our third party submissions that demonstrate how to use third party products or services and look at each one more judiciously. The likely result is we will get rid of them all together."
I didn't tell people to buy any product.
I followed all the rules, do not work for DocuSign and put a lot of effort in making a nice presentation. Could you guys just put it under another category?
Thanks in advance.

So what was happening was companies were hiring evangelists or technical writers to write articles that teach readers about or how to use their products. They would pay them and it would look on the up and up - the author didn't seem to have any apparent ties to the company and the company would get visibility for their product and links to their site. Then we would stumble across these posts, think they were fishy, remove them, and start hearing through our sales team that the marketing department of the company who's article we just deleted, "why can't we just post this one little article?" Big companies, small companies. And not one or two times. Many, many, times.
You're a long time member and I have no doubt you're just writing an article about how Docusign helped you in the hopes that it helps others. The sad fact is that if we allow your article, it becomes grounds to accept the articles of the aforementioned scenarios. It's not fair and we don't like to do it this way, but it got too hairy out there and the people who abused the system ruined it for everyone else.
Now, if people want to write an article about a problem they solved or a method they used to get around a problem they experienced in a third party product or service, that's more than welcome. A-OK.
Thanks,

another quick question... does this effect my ranking?

If you mean reputation points, I think once the reputation history gets synced (I forget how often this happens) then yes, I believe it would remove the reputation points associated with that article. Apologies.
But it shouldn't affect your Silver status, as I'd estimate it to be around 100ish points.
Thanks,

So from now on, when an article like this (Decrypt SQL Server Objects - CodeProject[^]) appears in the moderation queue, it shouldn't be approved? Which report action should be taken?
