I see that now. It's lost further down the list where no one will see it and vote to meet the criteria to have it created.

It wasn't as far down when it initially failed to get a single 5.

I posted a new article (Java Mini Puzzler) just before midnight on April 30th and initially the Posted date showed "30 Apr 20009" but when I got the notification from webmaster@codeproject.com that it had been accepted and was available in the Java section, I looked at it and saw that the Posted date was listed as "1 May 2009".

Ordinarily I wouldn't mind, but midnight on April 30th was he cut-off date for the Java competition and the date change would make it ineligible so I would like to get it changed. I suspect that, given your monthly competitions, this may be an issue for other authors as well.

Thanks for your assistance in getting this straightened out,
Burk Hufnagel

Wot, no pins!

Everyone is waffling on about some sort of pin thingy.

Who do I have to suck up to to get some?

I am running XP SP3, and after realizing that I was being stigmatized (did you see what I did there? Pins, Stigmata. Oh well please yourselves!) I upgraded my FireFox to 3.0.10 from 3.0.05/6?, but no joy.

Halfway through typing this I had the brainwave of trying IE7. They work OK in that.

Strange! It's probably my fault, everything else is. I'm just going to go into the corner and chew on some grass.

pins work fine for me, IE6/IE7/FF3.0.7, XP/SP3 or Vista.

Been there, done that, got the T-Shirt.

I've also re-booted but I have noticed, over the years, that the type of footwear makes little, if any, difference. Big Grin | :-D

It's getting late here now, so I've put my slippers back on. I'm also wearing a rather fetching Smoking-Jacket and Nightcap ensemble.

Wandering around in slippers, T-shirt, jacket and nigthcap?
that must be special grass you are chewing. No wonder you can't see no pins. OMG | :OMG:

Not really. I'm satisfied the way it is. When the average quality goes up again - let's hope that ever happens - I'll be willing to see and comment them again.

You could make life easier though by:
- either providing selectable sigs (so I can dedicate some of them to major shortcomings or most applicable advice)
- or providing a more detailed voting mechanism for A-N-A (content, format, style, clarity) instead of the mandatory message, which gets thrown out eventually anyway.

They work on IE7 but not Firefox? That's incredibly odd since the pins are generated server side, not client side, so settings such as javascript or caching won't come into play.

Is it all forums? Can you do a sanity check and confirm Firefox will actually display the pin icon properly? It's at http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/pin.gif[^]

I know! Stop rubbing it in!
It works for everyone except me. I am pinless, devoid of pointed paper-fixers. Alas I am unpinned.
I must have done something very, very bad in a previous life. Sigh | :sigh:

Yes I can see that.
I have also rechecked on this forum and the lounge and the pin is conspicuous by it's absence.
For example on your message, there is no space between the end of the message title and the New widget, I have moved the mouse slowly across the whole width of the title bar and it remains as the standard arrow pointer. I assume it should change when over the pin.

Just in case it is an add-in, I have:
Addblock Plus 1.0.2,
Ask Toolbar 2.1.0.5,
British English Dictionary 1.19,
Colorful Tabs 3.19,
Download Accelerator Plus Integration 8.6.7.0,
FoxLingo 2.4,
GMail Notifier 0.6.3.11,
GreaseMonkey 0.8.20090123.1,
IE Tab 1.5.20090207,
Java Quick Starter 1.0,
NoScript 1.9.2.6,
qtl 13.7,
ScrapBook 1.3.3.9,
Secure Login 0.9.3,
Tab Mix Plus 0.3.7.3,
Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO) 1.6

Strange ain't it?

That a lot of add-ins.

The pin has no javascript associated with it. Have you tried disabling your add-ins? All I can assume is that one of them is being over zealous at...something.

Even with all add-ons disabled, no pins!

I Used the PageInfo | Media option (on this page) in FF and Pins.gif was not listed. Does that give any clue?
