My experience in the past of leaving critical feedback, or down-voting, on CP articles has left me with the conviction it's generally not worth dealing with the ensuing OP's reaction, and concomitant headache.
Yes, I favor anonymous down-voting on articles, clearly recognizing that allowing that opens yet another gate-to-Hell.

how can i find and follow user in Code project and check his updates and answers
|

This functionality is not available. You have to manually search for that user and go through his content e.g. Content from Chris[^]. You can filter them using filters on the left pane.

You could use Who's Who page[^] to find members, there's a textbox to filter. Bookmark the member through the member's profile page, recheck the profile page to see updates.

See the survey list[^]. The 8-Sep to 22-Sep survey overlaps the 15-Sep to 22-Sep one, causing it to appear on the home page.

That page still includes Premium membership type. Isn't Workspace closed already?
|
|
|
|

Yes, but it seems that premium type is staying

Apparently the Premium membership type has been gone now.

Can I get my last refill on before we pack up?

Check in the fridge, way at the back. You might be in luck

I am one of those who can't type even a line without spelling mistakes. While writing articles, getting little red curly lines when we write "curley" is better than leaving it curely for the reader.
Please do something about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not use a web browser with a spellchecker built in such as Chrome?
|
|
|
|

I am using Chrome. It is correctly marking errors while I am typing in this editor. But it is not triggering in Article editor
|

You can write offline and once revised then post it in the editor

Well that's always an option. But I am wondering why CP editor doesn't support it? To be honest, CP editor is quite good with Auto saving and image resizing and anchor, linking. I am writing all articles in editor only.
Any specific reason to keep it disabled?

We;'re using the CKEditor and it as a SCAYT (spell check as you type) spell checker plugin but I've not had much success with getting it to work.

Hi Chris,
I'm running IE11 in the default "EDGE" mode. When replying to a post, I highlight text and click the quote button, I often get a "you didn't select any text" error.

Greetings,
I'm 38, and getting back into programming after a decade. I recently posted a question, and someone added the tag 'Homework' to my question.
It wasn't homework.
I think its wrong to have moderators wantonly apply whatever tags they want to people's content.
And sure, I may have moderators here tell me to beat it, scram, hit the road, and so on. But I've been on this site since 99, on another handle, and I don't remember Chris ever doing something like that.

You can see who did it (actually was the one who helped you out). In addition, if you don't like it, you can edit your question as well and delete it another time. It is not a "moderator" power

Is it possible to send me a link to the item in question? I'll take a look.
People get itchy trigger fingers given the number of spammers (or worse, number of people who demand help without putting any effort in for themselves) and so that can lead to collateral damage.

Dear Chris,
To be honest, I don't, for one, see how to avoid this sort of (small) thing from cropping up from time to time. I think moderators should be encouraged to add tags that are factually correct such as 'Java' or 'ArrayList' etc. but discouraged from adding tags that are based on opinions/not factual.
I like the idea that some forums have wherein any member can add 'Karma/<enter favorite="" term="" here=""> points' to anyone. If this sort of feature was implemented in your site, I would have withhold the points until the removal of the tag. Similarly, common questioners would give points for great answers etc.
Then again, any added complexity has its own downside as well... I'll leave all that to you!
Best regards,
ps: As you know now, I see, the post was: Java2D -> ArrayList + Button click = drawing on JPanel[^]

I think you've actually seen the answer to this issue for yourself: you handled the issue intelligently and sensitively within the question and in the end you found some help and a solution. I wish more people would handle themselves with this aplomb.
cheers

Hi, I was just publishing a tip "First and last occurrence of day of week within a month using SQL" but when I hit the publish button I got the "Something bad happened". Now I cannot find it in my drafts nor anywhere else.
Could you see if it can be restored? From my point of view it's ready to be published.
I found the body text so it's quite easy to re-format it. I'll do that so don't worry about finding the draft...

I have got myself in the habit of always (well, nearly always ) using Ctrl-A / Ctrl-C before I click submit on a long post of any sort.
