When Chris was younger and used real programming tools, he may have been able to help you. Today the most advanced coding he involves himself in would probably be manually closing an HTML tag.

Closing HTML tags is what those uppity youngin's do. Waste of time! Garr - when I was a lad...
(So do I use my big shiny Nuke This Thread button or do I leave this to allow the mocking to continue? Decisions, decisions...)

You can allow users to edit the content with approval from the submitted user. I see lot of members just changing the UI styles or HTML tags of the article to get scores. It can be restricted. Because it will frustrate the actual user at one of point of time. and they might move the content to other sites from Codeproject.

Are you talking about articles?

Any examples?

Sometimes I dip into an article and change some tags around, but it's always because the article actually needs it. If you look at my rep, you'll see I don't actually need the points.

Using the article editor, is it possible to wrap a type name in a code element using a button or shortcut? Or does this still need to be done in the code editor?
Example: MyClass

On posts there is a var button. I think there is one on the article editor as well.

There is a button with icon like this <V> - it has the same effect...

This message[^] has managed to break the layout of the Web Development[^] forum. It looks like an unclosed <pre> tag in the message is swallowing the closing </td> , </tr> , </tbody> and </table> tags.

I notice when you filter on the home page for 'web' or 'c++' or one of the others for 'latest articles' that it auto changes your selections in the 'interested' box on Quick Answers page. Is that as designed? Thank you.

I think, here is the minor issue we have here:
I can see many cases when our answers are indirectly removed, because the whole question page is removed due to some member's abuse reports. (Thanks to Chris to restoring one of such my answers for me; I started to preserve some interesting answers in my records.)
I don't even question those abuse reports. They are usually quite fair; and I report bad questions myself. I also agree that such questions should be removed and that the answers on the removed page disappear. This is fine, because those questions and answers may not have any value for all the readers. But those answers could be helpful just for one person, OP. Some questions are inconsistent, incomplete, illiterate, even off-topic, demonstrate wrong approaches; often, such questions are cannot be fully answered. But nevertheless, such advice or incomplete answer could really be useful for this only person, OP.
That's why I wonder if such removed answers can be accessible be OP of not. If not, I would suggest they would go to our messaging system. This way, only the OP along would be able to read the deleted answers, which would be quite enough in such cases.

Wouldn't the answers appear in OP's notification list and as e-mails for the OP. The notification list probably won't show the whole answer, just the beginning but the email should contain the whole story.

I agree. Good point. I mean that the messaging system (or something equivalent) could provide more suitable way of seeing those deleted answers (well, maybe comments, too).
My point is just the motivation. I can see that many of such answers could be useful to OP who deserves this little favor even if the question was bad. After all, if the post did not deserve this little piece of attention and advice, I would not probably post anything. Only recently, I added some useful links and other useful information on some removed answers.
One more note: we do see comments on deleted pages in our personal message pages (well, they could be better), but I'm not sure where the answers from removed pages go. If OP never see them, it would be not the best solution. Sometimes, the page gets removed when the answer is not yet submitted; so the submission is still possible, but then it may go nowhere.

The question itself remains visible for some members with enough reputation but it is marked as deleted with the reason when reported or just as deleted when some protector dealt with it.
This morning I was thinking that CP had problems because I was answering in an article into moderation but I always got the "something wrong happen" picture with the hamsters ripping of a desktop. I tried and tried and nothing. At the end searched the article another time and it was edited to a tip. I could post my message at the first try.
What I want to say is... if the question gets deleted while you are writing the answer. As far as you don't get an error message I guess it is still posted and linked to that question. It might be not visible, but I think it is somewhere in the system. If not, there would have been much more difficult to restore your past answer (I remember the petition).

As I said, it certainly remains in the system; Chris retrieved one of such answers on my request. The problem is: the answer which is probably only useful for just one person, OP, might be not accessible to this person. If, for example, the answer is mine, it remains in the answer list, but the content is not visible to me. That's the only problem, the lack of access by OP. The pages with bad answers should eventually be removed from common access; I don't question that.

I see your point. Not sure how this would or should work in the 'normal' CP site but what came to my mind is: If CodeProject API would have a method pulling out all personal answers (and possibly related question), then it would be easy to create a small app to list all personal answers...
A quick fix could that you would have an option to send your own answer also to yourself via email when answering a question...

No, this is not a problem. We can always preserve our own posts. The only problem it to allow OP to read answers which were posted on the deleted question page.
