Then I suggest to make it more general and provide an RSS feed of my latest changes. So I can decide where to put it.

I'm sure DD will be happy to tell you where to put it

Wow, great! Thank you, Chris!

I think so! As i told you yesterday, it is not working in my office pc(still the same!). Found it not working for anyone at office. There is something that needs a fix(config fix was not working as I already conveyed). CP might need to look and tell the reason.

I'm pretty sure that's not what Luc was trying to say 
Take a look at the URL posted there (but don't click it)

I didn't get it. The url is pointing towards one of the messages posted on his latest article message board. It's continuation of one of the messages i posted there. His new article *is* still not working on my office systems (probably because of some security)... one more person has reported the same...
Tell me what am i missing!

No it isn't, at least not for me, it's pointing to something to do with weight lose (from what the URL says).
So it's advertisement and not allowed.
As to the program not working I can only say that's the latest changes made it work fine for me. Did you try the new version?

Looks like some issue on your side! It's not pointing to any weightloss site/article! Your browser playing games with you

Was CPVanity V1.0 not working for you too? New version is still not working on my office pc! Works perfectly at home...

The URL referred to is a link in the message that Luc linked to.
Luc's app is working fine for me at home and at work so I'm not sure where the issue is.

Though a usability bug! Whenever i bookmark a question or a Tip/Trick, i get - 'Article is bookmarked'... it should be 'Question is bookmarked' OR 'Tip/Trick is bookmarked'.
Probably the same control is used all over the site, thats why a generic text is there that has article in it. Either chaning it to specific ones or an appropriate generic text would do.

Thanks. I'll add it to the bug list.

The title reads: "An answer has been posted to your question"
As the T/T wasn't a question sure it should read "An alternative to your Tip / Trick has been posted" or similar?

Yep we're aware of that one. I'm hoping to have that fixed soon.

When I use the article search page to search for "Windows 7" (without quotes), it does not find the following article for some reason:
Windows 7 : New Features Explained Using .NET
Considering the first part of the title is "Windows 7", I'd think it would find that. Heck, there's even a space after the "7", so I wouldn't think your indexing algorithm would get confused by thinking "7:" is the word and that "7" didn't match it.
FYI, I didn't have any tags entered, I didn't have any roles selected, and all of the checkboxes for article type were checked.
An Aside
When there is an HTML tag at the end of a line when I type into this editor (e.g., the "</b>" in the above line or the "</a>" at the end of the line that contains the link to the article), the line break that follows that line is not used (when this message is rendered in the preview page and, I suspect, after I post it). So, I see "An Aside When there is" all on one line, instead of it being split into two lines as it should be. This appears to be browser specific. I'm currently on IE8.

And there is more:
multi-digit numbers are no obstacle, one gets results matching each of the following
the 12
windows 32
windows 33
however single-digit numbers NEVER match anything, not even
the 2
windows 7

Ah ha. This should be easy. Thanks as always Luc.

After an adventurous couple of days, here are some new suggestions for the Article Publishing Wizard:
1.
I'd like to include a reference to the article in the source files; therefore I need to know what the (probable) URL will be before you ask me to upload the ZIP files, so that would be on page 1 or page 2 of the wizard.
(yes, I know, I can always edit it in in a second iteration; that is what I have done so far).
2.
I noticed you don't preserve the order of the uploads; I had them in chronological order (i.e. appearence in the HTML), but you have reordered them and almost made me replace the wrong ones.
3.
One of the most challenging things in article publishing, for me at least, still is deciding in what category and subcategory the article could be stored. This time around, I didn't find anything like "applications" or "tools"; later on I discovered such a subcategory exists under "Web development" which isn't really obvious for me. I'm not sure what the best approach would be, however having the subcategories ComboBox populate depending on the chosen category isn't really helping. At the moment I would go for one large but linear list, with bolded categories.
[ADDED]
4.
It isn't completely intuitive how one should go about updating a referenced file, e.g. a ZIP file. I discovered:
a) replacing a file (without a name change) works just like adding one; there is no need to delete the old file, in fact, that fails as the file is locked against the article's content;
b) replacing a file WITH a name change is horrible: one cannot delete the old, as the article still refers to it; so it takes two passes: one to add the new file and update the article content, a second one to delete the obsolete file.
a) deserves better guidance, not sure how b) could be handled elegantly.
[/ADDED]
[ADDED2]
Actually, the file deletion (and the final lock check) should be postponed until after the article has been updated. So either one of these scenarios seem reasonable (I prefer the second one):
i. offer possibility to select files to delete, select files to add, as it is now; check file locks and give warning "file XYZ will be deleted provided the article no longer refers to it"; edit article; when done, check the "files-to-delete" list and delete what is no longer needed, give a warning on files (still) locked against the new article, if any.
ii. do not offer a file deletion opportunity right away, just say "file replacement is like file addition; and once the article is edited, you will get the opportunity to delete obsolete files"; offer file addition; then article edit; then offer file deletion, only if there are files that are no longer referenced. This probably results in a page5 to be added.
