I updated my article a few days ago, in order to use new binaries (version 8.0) to replace the old ones (version 7.5).
From the Article Submission Wizard, I can see the new binaries are ready. But once published, the old binaries remain for no reason.
Is this a bug of Code Project? The article I am referring to is
An introduction to #SNMP, an Open Source SNMP implementation[^]
#SNMP, http://sharpsnmplib.codeplex.com

You have to update the actual links in your article (there's a link at the top of the list of zip files that, if clicked, does this for you).
(I fixed it for you)

CP does tweet an article. Good 
However, if the author has a Twitter tag then it should be included in the Tweet.
Make it simple, as simple as possible, but not simpler.

@Name I meant
You are collecting this info anyway and displaying it on the article, so it should be part of the tweet.

True, but when you tweet about something you arne't necessarily tweeting at the author. You may simply be tweeting about the author's article to your friends.

You are saying "Article by John Smith" the Twitter community convention when you do that is "Article by @JohnSmith"

Ah, OK. I get it.
I'll add this to the TODO.

When copying a blog post, the copied post at CP still refers to the pictures of the original article. So, if the original blog is down or the url of the page and images have changed then the article will still appear on CP but without pictures.
The suggestion is to also copy the pictures.

I don't know why, but everytime I try to add a file to the article I get the error "Unexpected error during upload. One or more files may not have been uploaded".
In addition, the "Add File" button is still there, but clicking it and selecting the file again gives me a "The file has already been selected" error. There is no where to re-attempt to upload it. The only way to get to try to upload it again is to check the "Work in progress" box, check the contributors agreement, save the draft, and then open it back up again. (Repeat at the top of this message).
I've uploaded files before and had the same issue (eventually it worked), but for some reason this time it won't let me upload (they are jpg files, 27kb each, and 2 of them), tried about 3 times.

That seems to be a common problem with the system. Anything you upload will give an error, AFAICT.

We're currently working on an improvement to the upload system.

Whenever I go to the quick questions I see that there are only 5 languages featured there.
Please include more languages in the featured section.
For example to look for anything related to python I had to run a search. This is annoying.
It also discourages newbies (on code project) form exploring the other great languages and their cool feature.
I think this undermines the purpose of CodeProject.
Please feature more languages.
(If not all, at least the most promising ones like Python.)

There are already tags in QA for python - in fact there are generic "Python" and also separate tags for each version.
The lack of questions about it it not a reflection of the site, but a reflection of the number of python users who ask questions...

No, I am not talking about lack of python questions. I am saying the lack of quick access to the articles/questions that are already present.
What I am saying that is, as there are links for quick questions in C# (in the quick questions menu), similarly there should be quick links to all the major programming languages. My suggestion is that CodeProject should include menus for these languages too. This will surely also result in increased amount of articles, questions and discussions about them in the long run.

I doubt that. I don't even notice the ones that are there now. I do agree that it is a little cumbersome, especially for new members, but there are so many Tags that selecting which ones to put in the menu is bound to cause a heated debate.
You don't need to do a search, but you do have to go to Quick Answers, hover the mouse over the Tags box, select "more..." and then pick what you want to look for. Here is your Python link:

But there is no Tags Box in the Quick Answers menu.

You can see the location of the tag box on this image:

I can see how making use of the Tags may not be obvious.
Since a tag selection runs a filter based on that selection, perhaps it would be more clear if that selection was directly placed beneath "Your Filters" as a selected Tags field.

This list of tags is auto-generated based on the current popular tags

Presumably as a result of Protector and / or Mentor status, I have permission to edit pending articles. So I did. At the OP request, I edited this one: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=22830&aid=416453[^] and sorted out the fonts for him.
But when I go to save it, I get "forbidden", which is a touch irritating after I've done the work!

No problem! Out of interest, which way will it be fixed? "No edit", or "can save"? Don't mind which, but it'd be nice to know.
Gawd this site is getting seriously complex! I suspect you wake up nights sweating at the mere thought of a complete re-write...
