I'm not trying to make someone to bow to my wishes. I'm not god and never claimed. The security subject is too sensitive. That's all my concern.

You have made your feelings known about the article, and it is up to the rest of us to agree or disagree with both the article and your comments. Leave it at that, it's really not important.
|

|

So, another poster has added a reply which he or she has then deleted and you want to reply to them because you feel you are cleverer than they are. Why? They have removed their message. It sounds like all you want to do is humiliate someone. That's not a good thing to do.

I'm not trying to humiliate someone. The author feels that the article he wrote is "novel and interesting". Replying my comment doesn't change his feeling since he still claims the article is "novel and interesting".

You've expressed your comments, unfortunately not very politely, and at this point you should let go and move on.
Security is subjective. How you judge security often depends on context and expectations, and what you are trying to secure. Guy's put some effort in and has written a decent article. Pete gave it a 4, which I feel is fairly representative of its quality/accuracy/content.
Your opinions on the content were not shared by many others, so it would be nice if you would stop taking this personally and leave that author alone.

I don't want to start another tutor here. I already put my effort in the article comment section. Please go there and recite it.

I see that he wrote good English article.That's all. No security, it just drag and drop text, clipboard,...

Not sure what you mean. If that of voting, I voted your comment. I know I'm down voted, you can down vote this one too.
Someone mistake can only be correct by speaking the truth. Not voting a nonsense article with 50-60 upvotes.

Hi,
I speak solely from my perspective and it's not a whine-post about how hard reputation on this site is. Because it isn't. Your System is very fair and it's clear that it's not in place only since a few days.
I looked at the system as objective-as-possible, questioning some of the categories.
When I started to have a problem in imagination, how to achieve specific reputations, it came down to this for me:
* In my imagination there are three main groups of people lurking around here at CP
* The "readers" - people who like to read articles/community forum/sometimes find answers to questions
* The "askers" - people who chose this site over SO (or parallel to it) to post their question in hope to get the right answer that brings them forward
* The "authors" - people who have (deeper) knowledge in some areas and/or just like to share this knowledge with the world. Bloggers fall into this category too.
We all have in common, of course, that we are developers, no matter if beginner or super-advanced.
But only few people (I think) fall into the categories "author" AND "asker". For me this is the case. I have questions only in very rare cases and most of the time I can't get an answer, some are too specific, some too wide spread.
If people know lots of things, they rarely have questions, they tend to become authors and help others.
However, there's one point in this system that doesn't make much sense to me.
I'm Gold-Author (yesyes not platin, but still...) but have almost no status in "Enquirer" and "Editor" as my articles don't get much rework - I put most of the work into my articles in the first place, and even lesser it's that I have a question on something.
But to have (active) links in your Bio you need to have bronze grade in *all* site categories. For me this would mean, I have to "invent" 80(!) more questions just to get the bronze... I can't imagine to have so many questions... I had 2 or 3 in the last 5 years... It's out of my lifetime to get that 
Same for Editor.
So I wanted to ask you to take a look at the requirement for live links in the bio to change it.
Maybe... hmm I don't know - Being Gold in at least one or two categories, or at least silver in 3 categories.
But I find it not good, "bronze in all" as I can't imagine being so active in *all* categories - people HAVE questions or people ANSWER questions --- I think that's the point.
sorry for my bad english
cheers, Mike

I believe that you are misunderstanding the privileges tab. You need to have at least Bronze in any reputation category (or Silver in Participant), not Bronze in all categories.

No thats not the case - I tried it in my bio - links do not work... but it's still possible that I simply did it wrong
Wait... I have an idea -- let me try something... brb in 2 minutes.
...two minutes have past...
*cough* you are to right... man! Ok I will put a question now: "How do I create a hyperlink?"

Excellent summary and observation. As others have said, though:
Quote: Members need to achieve at least one of the given member levels in the given reputation categories in order to perform a given action
(From the privileges page itself)
The rep system was setup specifically because of the categories you mentioned. Some post, some answer, some write. Some just hang out and keep us company. In the end it all adds up to being valued in our community, and so we try and recognise the different ways people help us grow and flourish.

Hi
I live in India. I read all the codeproject daily news articles. But the problem is the news timing is not in the morning according to the my timezone. I am suggesting new feature which will generate daily news to all users according to their timezone.

We already send the Insider based on timezone of the user. Go to your settings[^] and set your timezone. That should fix things.

I'm using translator from English to Czech, than I get funny results.
For CODE will be better use notraslate Class. I's explaining sample there: stackoverflow.com/questions/9628507 ...
We must use in tag CLASS key word "notranslate" sample:
<div class="someclass">
Some content which will be translated (class="someclass")
</div>
<div class="someclass notranslate">
Some content which NOT will be translated (class="someclass notranslate")
</div>
<div class="notranslate">
Some content which NOT will be translated (class="notranslate")
</div>
For our web: stackoverflow.com is best of, when element "pre" could be include class="notranslate"
<pre class="notranslate" lang="engl">
Its some way how make "pre" element with this option?
(I mean standard - new element)

Easy peasy. It'll be live on our next deploy.

Hi,
have you ever tried to activate "my articles" or another sub menu item from a touch device / mobile phone?
Tapping on your own name already triggers the link, but still the drop down menu opens... so if you're fast enough and manage to hit the tiny link within less than a second you *maybe* manage to trigger the "my articles" page
Any chance to work on this to make it usable on a tablet/phone? I really like this menu but it's hard when I'm not on my PC / have no mouse.
cheers and thanks,
mike

It's a pain, but...I get round it on my Android tablet / phone by long tapping the menu header, then using "back" to cancel the menu that pops up ("Open in new tab", "open in incognito tab", ...)
That leaves the CP menu dropped down and open so you can select an individual submenu from it.
To be honest, I can't think of a suitable way the hamsters could do it that is specifically tablet / phone friendly, without degrading the laptop / PC / Mac experience or cluttering the site.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Quite easy I think tbh. Just put the link to the site that is opened when u click on your name to (a new) first menu item and all that a click on your name does, is to open the drop down.
If you want the Ferrari solution, do this only when u detect a mobile browser .
Cheers

Is there a way that a question from the QA could be locked for further editing / adding answers? reason being
How to calculate Age using C#[^]
lasted updated in 2015, but recently the question has been edited by someone other than the original poster and now it has been jumped back up to the first page.
Thanks

The fact it's saying that Jibesh edited the question 3 and a bit hours ago is a bug ... reported here at some time.
The update was actually Solution 8 being added ... subsequently removed (either voluntarily or due to 3 reports - I don't know which)
Trouble is if we lock down questions we're turning into SO. Sometimes (not often granted) there are sensible additions that can be made to older questions.
We can't even use the "has an accepted answer" - I've seen plenty of accepted answers that are just downright wrong, and there are several members who will just hit "Accepted" because someone has responded (and then ask no end of follow up questions  )
