Thanks for comment!, Actually I am on verge of completing a beginner tutorial on DART Version 2, I couldn't find place to put same yet.
That's why I asked for some generic/general section under language where people could put there articles!
|

|

Right - so if it's specifically about a language then the language is the topic!
What about https://www.codeproject.com/KB/languages/?

Correct! but what about section? as choices are way limited to 11 choices only, I believe its high time VB Script, VB.net and VB 6 Interop has single section then having multiple choices.
There is no option for other language here, also no other relevant section to chose.

Ah ha. It turns out that section was set to not allow user contributions (hence it wasn't appearing in the list). It's been corrected and you can now submit articles to the "Programming Languages" section.

You gotta give Chris visual cues like screenshots and he'll solve things for you. Comes from him being both Aussie and Canadian.

On Ctrl-F a search box appears. I enter <img< b=""> and press >. The counter indicates that I am positioned at 1 of 41. But the contents of the text editing box do not scroll. I believe that the text box should scroll so that the found item is at the top (or near the top) and highlighted.
So I scroll down, looking for another highlighted <img< b="">. But when I do, the search tool box scrolls off the top. I believe that it should have its position fixed so that I can click on > again.
I believe that the choice of the highlight color should be revisited. I believe that Pink would be a better choice to make the text stand out.

Noticing my rep creeping up, I thought I'd have a look what exalted company I am keeping, so I wound up at https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Profiles.aspx?ml_ob=Reputation&mgtid=-1&mgm=False&pgnum=12 . I don't appear where I expected to be, nor nearby (that I could find). However, I did stumble across baidu02 - Professional Profile[^] who has the weirdest rep graph I've seen. 75k+ organiser points in a week, essentially nothing before or since.
I realise that rebuilding the rep scores would be akin to emptying Sydney harbour with a bucket, but maybe some of the grosser anomalies could be "adjusted".
As a side note, if I look at my (or others') rep graph from my (their) profile, it sometimes takes a couple of refreshes of the page before I see anything more than the heading. It's been that way as long as I can remember, so obviously not a real urgency.
Keep up the good work, hamsters and all.
Cheers,

Thanks for spotting that profile. Spidering the entire site to get rep points isn't cool.

I just finished experimenting and found that you ignore width:50%; attribute in an image element. Rather you display the actual size on disc of the image. That's wrong!! It means that authors cannot specify an image to float to the left with text to the right, or vice-versa.
I do not create graphics to fit the article. I create graphics that are readable in an image viewer. When I want to include a graphics image, I scale the image using standard HTML/CSS.

It would be awesome if we had 100% of authors be 100% correct with their HTML but that doesn't happen. When we have to balance the 1% of authors who require special HTML treatment (which we actively discourage because it usually means an inconsistent article viewing experience) with the 99% of readers who really want to be able to read an article without the images blowing out the browser bounds then I'm sure you can appreciate the dilemma.
However, have you tried using the important! qualifier on your width style? I'm going from memory here but that may get you what you're after.

Am I the only contributor who is complaining?
What was originally submitted was
&< id="masterpage"
href="master_page.png" >
<img alt="Master Page"
src="master_page.png"
style="float:left;
margin-right:10px;" />
That was replaced by
<a id="masterpage"
href="master_page.png" >
<img alt="Master Page"
src="master_page.png"
style="float:left;" />
I changed the image size (with a lot of effort) to 269x131 and the HTML to
<a id="masterpage"
href="master_page.png" >
<img alt="Master Page"
src="master_page.png"
style="float:left;" />
Now it displayed at about 50% width. So I reverted to the original image (760x325) and submitted
<a id="masterpage"
href="master_page0.png" >
<img alt="Master Page"
src="master_page0.png"
style="float:left;
width:50%;" />
That was replaced by
<a id="masterpage"
href="master_page0.png" >
<img alt="Master Page"
src="master_page0.png"
style="float:left;" />
At this point. the image is too large. Here I sent my first email.
As you suggested, I added !important to each image style as in
<a ... >
<img alt="..."
src="..."
style="float:left;
width:50%; !important" />
For 3 of the 4 images, !important appears to work. But the first image is too large.
Do you guys want help? Ir's very irritating to report problems over and over.

Yes, you are the only author complaining.
Can you please send me the HTML as you want to see it posted and I'll experiment directly. I'm not going to promise we allow you to use every style and attribute you wish (for the aforementioned reasons) but I can at least give you an explanation of what we're doing, or possibly fix any bugs that you may be a victim of if they exist.
cheers

It's because the rest of us gave up complaining.

I've emailed Chris separately a document that includes seven examples of problems. I am awaiting his response.

you can use the "not an answer" in the solution 3 and the abuse to his account
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thank you, I never paid attention to the red flag in account.

@Sean-Ewington has specifically asked that we don't report new solutions on old questions unless they're spam.
I initially misunderstood, and thought it was just about making new users feel more welcome. So I carried on reporting the junk, the not-answering-the-question, and the question-posted-as-a-solution answers.
But based on a recent email conversation, he really does mean that we should only report the spam. At least partly because of the bug where deleting those answers drags the question back to the top of the "active" list.

I received the mail from Sean Ewington[^] and I reported that solution as 'not an answer'.
I didn't reported as 'Spam' as it is not, but I was strongly thinking about 'Abuse'.

If it is definitely spam or abuse then you can report it as such. But if it's a reasonable answer (even years late) then Sean's advice is just to leave it alone.

It's not a reasonable answer. But in the email conversation I had with Sean, he said that even junk answers shouldn't be reported. Just down-vote them, and maybe leave a comment.

Unfortunately it had been deleted before I got there. I was merely paraphrasing Sean's message to me.
