Rather than adding attribution, you should use your own words. You were reported because you lifted whole chunks of text from other sources.

When I open some questions(with useful answers), I'm getting the following message.
Quote: Sorry, the item you requested could not be found. Yep, it's due to poor question. But here few reasons not to hide.
0) If Enquirer sees the same page when he opens his question, the above message is not useful for him. I don't think most of them checking their mail for notifications. So if we lock that question(like below), he could see the status there(with others comments).
Quote: Closed as [Poor question] by [Members] After this, the question is only for viewing purpose.
1) When other people searching for similar questions they could see this(with answers)
2) Authorities could use the previous answer as reference for upcoming questions.

I Agree completely. It is really annoying to get an email notification of a response to an answer or comment only to find that the question has been deleted.

Good suggestion, but I think it is a good idea to hide the question if it's marked as spam/abusive or off-topic, because then it really doesn't belong on CP.

A couple of things:
If you've been editing for a while and saving drafts, then you'll find you can't upload files, you need to go away and come back.
When I came back, some of my edits were gone, or munted
When you paste XML with self closing tags, it adds closing tags, ie <mytag/></mytag>

The point with the self closing tags it is not only in articles, in the QA is often there as well.

QuickTip: Oracle SQLPlus – (IF) Check for parameters to script[^]
Even the writer calls it "QuickTip"... but it is in the monthly competition for articles. Should it not be moved?

Sadly we didn't receive a lot of database-related articles in December, so the net was cast a bit wider. We look for ten submissions for each month, but we could only make eight. We'd love to have so many database-related articles each month that there was a ferocious, thunderdome-like decision where 1000 articles enter, and only 10 articles leave.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

I am not complaining about it being in the competition. There are tips that are better/more usefull as some articles. I think they can compite together, no problem with that.
I was just asking if it should not be cathegorized /saved as a tip.

I like the new profile popups, but who can tell at a glance what country is represented by that tiny little flag icon?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Clicking on the member's name takes you to their profile page that has expanded info. There's only so much that can be crammed into that small popup.

I should have figured that out!

Even if do find the room to add it, please do not do so. Guessing the country for the flag is one of my favorite games.

I think your IPv6 work is incomplete going by the "Your membership was initiated from the following IP address: 0.0.0.0" or you have another fault.

We don't use IPv6.
Can you please forward me the email and I'll hunt down the bug like the dog it is. To mix a metaphor.

I just got a Win 8 computer, updated to win 8.1. I set up the mail client and receive mail. But the CodeProject Daily News doesn't display most of the material. For today, I see:
CodeProject | Daily News - Apple denies working with NSA on iPhone backdoor
That is it. And even THAT isn't a hyperlink.
Anybody got a clue for me? Should it work?
(If I use a web browser to go to my mail provider, I see everything just fine).

I've been looking at this year's MVP list, I noticed Josh Smith on the list. It seems a bit counter-productive to include someone who hasn't posted in 2013 to the list of MVPs awarded on the basis of rep points gained in 2013. Wouldn't it be better if the MVP-er filters out members who haven't posted in the previous year (or some other, better, criteria, possibly rep gained on items posted that year - I suppose one problem would be people posting in December the previous year)?
Not wanting to pick on Josh in particular, - just he is a high-profile member who is also well known to not really have been active lately. I dare say there are others on the list like this.

It's always a question of "What makes a member valuable?" and for us we answered this question be tallying up the points that member received in the Author and Authority categories throughout the year.
The subtlety here is that points can still be awarded for content posted a previous year, but the truth is that of all members on CodeProject Josh's work help more people than 10,297,595 other members' work and so we consider him a Most Valuable Professional.
If we did it only on content posted during the year (which I'm happy to discuss) then you have a situation where those members who post stuff earlier in the year are unduly biased compared to those who post their stuff later in the year. At least with the current implementation if someone posts an absolute scorcher on Dec 31, their article will help contribute to their MVP tally for the following year.
