Maybe I'm too stupid to see it, but I was just writing an article for about an hour. Finally I was clicking on "contributor's agreement" to see what I'm accepting. It was shown in the same browser window. After clicking back, the article was gone!!! Work of an hour, F*** !!! Maybe, the makers of this page did not expect people to actually click on that link ... Or they don't mind people losing their work ... Sorry for being that sarcastic, but I'm really annoyed!
Here's the suggestion: Please, please make that link show up in a separate window so that the original one (the one with the article) keeps untouched. Or - instead of a simple link - make a postback, safe the article in the session and then branch to the new page.
Btw.: I noticed the buttons "Save Draft" and "Discard draft" right to the article. In between there is "Saved xxx minutes ago". The latter implies for me, that the article was auto-saved. Was it? So why can't I get it back?

Just go back to the submit page[^] and you'll see a list of your drafts.

Thanks for the hint, but there is nothing. It's blank. It seems, it saved the version after I returned and I just had deleted parts of the template to start over again. Maybe it normally works that way and I made something unusual, though I am not aware of anything I could have done unusual.

I've looked in the database and can't find the Draft version. I'm stumped for ideas here.
1. If you'd hit "back" and the page was still populated with your article content, an auto save would continue to be created. You should be good to go (but aren't).
2. If you hit "back" and nothing was there then a new article would have started, since it would have lost the connection to your old (draft) article. I'd expect to see two drafts under your name, yet I only see one empty draft (as well as this article[^])

The Insider News seems to be a hotbed for weirdness. I have seen images, random characters, that, and a few other things there.

Typically it means that Someone at your IP address has already voted for that item.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply.
So, from one IP only one person can vote ?
Why we have IP check ? Is there any specific reason ?
Thanks,
Tadit

Starting from yesterday, "Latest reputation events" window shows only growth, but the summary figure at the profile page goes down gradually, step by step, by some couple of thousands since last evening. Is it some bug which was introduced recently? If it was in one step, I would guess it was yet another renormalization of point counting... Will you check it up?

When CP detects someone types his message in CAPS-LOCK, there should be either be a popup warning, or a automatic uncapsify done on the text.
just something simple, put caps on first word of sentence (first word of a paragraph, first word after a . )

Okay, I posted an answer at 14.14, but it's registered at 13.14 in my recent messages list. You had me worried that I had more time to home time than I thought I had.

The site isn't automatically adjusting for DST. Given the complexities involved, I can't say I blame them!
Try ticking the "Are you currently in Daylight Saving Time?" box on your settings page.

Code Project has no control over what gets displayed in Google. I wish it did, but it doesn't.
As for the question not existing - for some reason it's been deleted. The OP, for instance, may have decided to delete it. What would you have CP do?

Hi Pete,
That's completely fine. Thanks... We don't have control over it.
But I was wondering, if we just remove that link when somebody deletes it, so that it will not show in results. I mean if the question is deleted, then why to keep the link ?
I don't know whether this can be done and if that will not show in results. Can you please confirm and explain ?
Thanks,
Tadit

As I said, we don't control what's in Google. If a link has been Googled, it stays Googled for a very long time.
