When I want to browse the Articles menu (Image 1), I hoover the mouse over it and see all sub-menus. However, if I try to select any of the sub-menus, the moment I hoover down, I see the article categories instead of the sub-menus (Image 2). So it is almost impossible to select any of the sub-menus.

Which browser, and are you seeing any javascript errors in the dev tools console?

I can't quite understand what you mean here.
1. You hover over the article menu. You see the menu dropdown.
2. As soon as you move your mouse down you see the article sections menu fly out on the right hand side.
Is that correct? If so, this is by design.

Not sure what you mean by this. What are you expecting and what's happening?

No, the view changes so I can't select items from the first menu I see, as it changes to the 2nd one. For example, I want to write an article, I see "Submit an article / tip" in the first view but when hoovering the mouse down, I don't see it any more and can't select it.

Ah. OK, I understand now. Sorry - I was staring at the second image you posted so hard I didn't see the forest for the trees.
So: the Article menu shows the article options, you hover over the "Chapters and Sections" option and instead of the Chapters menu appearing to the right of the menu, it's appearing on top of the article menu, obscuring the article menu options.
I'm wondering if the problems is because of your local settings.
The flyout menu positions itself using left: 100%; which for LTR will push it to the right hand side. For RTL it may (and I'm guessing since I don't have RTL fonts) push it to the far left, meaning it covers the menu.
Let me see what I can do.

Hi Chris,
I don't have any RTL settings in my Chrome or in Code Project. RTL is when the entire paragraph is reversed. I use LTR and in other sites, some time use Hebrew fonts.
Cheers,
Michael

The code formatter appears to be broken:

The settings page is organised into tabs: pick the "Account" tab.On the right side of the page, under your avatar picture (if any) there is a checkbox "Close my account"Check this, and a dialog will appear: "Are you sure? Once you deactivate your account you will lose access to your posts, articles and data." Select "OK".Make sure "I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for this site" is also checked, and press the "Save my Settings" button.Your account is gone.Bad command or file name.

I noticed that a while ago. Thought it was a permission issue for me or something.

I have a draft version of an article and I don't want to preserve that draft. I want it so that the next time I click "Update Article", it gives me the most recent published version, not the draft. Yet clicking "Revert to last published version", while it does give me back the published version on the main page, doesn't seem to work when I opt to update again--then it gives me the draft version that I don't want. How do I discard the draft version so that the next update gives me the published version?! There seems to be no "Discard Draft" option.
PS. The offline version of the CodeProject Article Editor (which hasn't been updated in 5 years!) isn't very reliable: 1) The editing behavior itself is highly erratic, particularly when turning on an off bulletting/numbering ; 2) whenever one attempts to log in, numerous "scripting errors" occur; and 3) if one tries to "cut and paste" text between the offline editor and the online one, the article looks different in each--with formatting errors and even text being mis-arranged. Just thought you should know.

There's a "Revert to last published version" button at the bottom right of the submission wizard that may help.

If you read my above question, then you'll know that that doesn't quite work like one would think it would. "Revert" only reverts the text for the "main page" of an article; the text on the "edit page" still has the working draft--presumably meaning that any further edits published would derive from the draft. I want the version that pops up when I click "update" to be identical to the version on the main page. (Seriously, does anybody READ the entire text of a question?) PLEASE HELP ME!

Yeah I did.

Revert to last published version should remove all drafts that have been created since the last published version (the version on the "main page" as you put it. This should then mean that the editor will be loaded up with the latest "main page" version. From that point on you'll be creating new drafts based off the latest published version.
If it's not doing that then we have a bug. I'll do some testing tomorrow.
If that's not what you want or I still haven't understood, then please let me know what I'm missing.

I fixed it myself. I had to re-edit the working draft in order to make it look like it should, then publish that. I guess some things have to be done by hand!

OK - that's great that you got it to where you wanted it to be.
However: did you try using the revert button?
cheers
Chris Maunder

|

|

Yes, I did--as I said in my initial question. The problem was that "revert" alone didn't undo the changes to the draft like I thought it would. (Seriously, does anybody read the "fine print" of a question, as opposed to just the title question?) Anyway, it's a moot point now.

It's not a moot point. The revert process isn't doing what it should be doing so I'll dig in and get it sorted out.
cheers
