Ahemm, and what do Article have to do with the questions in Q&A? 
OK, just went back to double check and now I see them again for an answer that I edited just for that purpose. Does that mean I'll only see the version numbers when I also edited the question or did something just go haywire yesterday?
Anyhow, I'm glad it seems to be working again. 
Thank you for your support and have a nice day!

a) QA is piggy-backing off the article system (shhh!)
b) Yes, something went haywire yesterday.

While amusing, that commentary should go in a comment.
Editing a question to add 'GimmeCode' and 'Homework' tags is okay, though, right? I do that quite often as it appears to be the purpose of those tags.

I guess this may have to do with the fact that commenting was broken in Q&A for a while today.
And yes it was sort of amusing reading the question, but it still is not OK to do so.

right?
I wholeheartedly agree with that.
What really got to me was the seemingly obvious derisive and ridiculing tone in which the question seems to have been rewritten.
I wasn't sure if OP would have phrased somthing like that. Alas couldn't check it as the link with the version information was not there.
I don't think that it is OK to falsify a question in such a manner. (The tagging is OK though)

Manfred, while I agree that I probably let the questions get to me and that on another day I wouldn't have edited them in quite such a harsh way, I didn't actually change that much of the text - the OP just listed out what the output was, and I moved the text from the heading into the body of the question. The question was not falsified though.
So, point well made and I will try to "be more professional" and I hang my head in shame.

OK, my bad then.  I just couldn't believe OP would have written something like that. Anyway I do apologize for accusing you of doing this.
I hope you'll forgive me! ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Don't be. As I said, I did add what would normally be in the comments in there, but I really shouldn't have. The fault was mine - and you were right to question it.
|
|
|
|
|
What, where eh?
Nothing to see here just go along now! 
The question have sort of passed away and lets just pretend nothing happened.

To be fair, he did tell you to find some women. You can tell your good lady that you were told to do this.

I do like that it was plural.

I see that you got four upvotes (including mine) and only one down vote which, should it come from OP, would not account for many points. As to tagging this question as "Homework", I tend to agree with OP as it was stated clearly in the question what the purpose of his question was. Doing a semester project is not exactly homework and OP readily admitted that it was for a project.
Just my two cents!

Manfred

I don't see any difference here.

Even more reason my tag was appropriate.
Tagging it as Homework seems fitting for work that is admittedly for school, that is done outside of class or lab. It doesn't mean it is a bad question. It is much different than GimmeCode, which I agree, would not be inappropriate here.

Hi Bob,
I disagree with this:
1. first of all, as I am sure you are at Platinum rank as whatever, you have the right to delete the question, if it's way out-of-line.
2. If I feel a question is "gimmecodez" or "homework," but does not deserve deletion, I downvote it, and add a comment as to why I downvoted it: that expresses what I think, and takes responsibility for my opinion, since the OP can see my name.
Now there are "edge cases:" where some questions, imho, "border on," being in the verboten categories, but have something in them where I feel that some helpful comment can be made to, at least, point the confused OP to a resource for educating themselves.
It can also be an opportunity to remind said OP that searching CP may well turn up an exact answer to the question asked.
3. I think tagging the OP's question in such ways is simply cheap insult, done anonymously.
If enough people #1 vote a question, why not also automatically remove the question, as is done elsewhere on CP ?
best, Bill
"Humans are amphibians ... half spirit and half animal ... as spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. This means that while their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imaginations are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy, therefore, is undulation: the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.” C.S. Lewis

How on earth is this possible? 
First, it gave me tons of grief I couldn't add the code to it, and now published with the wrong link...
Article: Basic Routing for HttpHandler
Added later...
Now the article in my list of articles also show with the wrong link, I have no more access to my own article. Where is it? I've just spent one day typing it in...

Basic Routing for HttpHandler[^] looks fine from here, and I also see you're editing it and the auto-save draft seems fine too.
I edited it a couple of times to fix the formatting and so maybe in between my edits it was being a little weird.

I've edited and just deleted the spurious HTML and submitted and it worked like a charm.

How that spurious HTML get in there? I'm just pasting the code as advised, and it looks fine on the first preview, but on the second it gets killed again.
I have the article ready for publishing, and now stuck on this...
Plus, even if I submit it, it doesn't seem to appear on my article list or the list of articles waiting for approval. This is strange...

So it's fine on the first preview, but on the second preview you see issues? Or the second time you edit it?

I edited and published your article directly, so it was pre-approved.

Just as I go into editing it again, the C# code gets scrambled.
I just deleted the comments headers everywhere, but not happy about it, as it is essential code documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
It is essential and should be in the code, and we've not generally had issues like this before.
I'll continue looking into it to see if I can replicate your issue. Out of interest, which browser are you using?

I tried both FF-12 and Chrome-18, the same happens.
Check out the code you fixed... if you go into the edit mode again, the pieces where it has XML comment block on top of declarations gets scrambled. I have been fighting with this for more than hour, trying to fix things in html, but nothing seems to help, just i get click to edit the article again - the problems are back.
