I suddenly have 8 unfinished articles on my list... of which 6 is empty and should not be there, while the other two should have titles...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I've opened up your ability to view your own articles that were only in embryonic stage. Feel free to delete them if you don't need them.

I have the same situation so I'll delete the empty ones.
But before that, why do the drafts appear in my profile's Articles page, not in the Drafts page?
For example Draft | Untitled article

Thanks for Q&A on this, because I just saw that issue in my articles too.
I'll go delete them.

Okay, part 2.
I went and deleted all those untitled entries but I had one that was unpublished/draft that had a title like:
Create Desktop UX With ASP.NET MVC (Part 3 of 3) and it is gone now.
Well, if you can find it, that would be nice. If not I understand.
Thanks,

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Not sure if this is intentional but posting a message doesn't show in latest events page. A bug?
|
|
|
|
|
In which forum was the message posted?

I've just posted three messages (two in The Lounge, one in Insider News). None of them have appeared in my history, nor did I receive any CP points for them. OTOH, my answer to this week's survey (answered after I posted the message) does appear in the history.
I seem to remember similar problems yesterday, if that helps...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

You mean the latest reputation events page? I'll dig in.

The VB haters thread in the Lounge is not registering any of my posts in the reputation/events page, either. Email notifications seem to be working.

A few weeks ago, I've applied to the multiple CodeProject's collaborative groups such as ASP.NET Community, Apriorit Inc., Codejock Software and even CodeProject Mentors.
But, since then, I still got no response if I'm about to be approved to be a member of those group listed or not ?
Particularly, I'd like to know just for my interest and inquiry will I ever actually be enrolled for these groups or not ? The list of groups I applied is available in my profile page under "My Groups" tab.
Can you please check about this and give me your response whereafter.
Thanks.

Many of the groups are created and maintained by CodeProject users, not by the site admins. So the acceptance or response for a specific group depends on the person who is managing the group. Site personnel probably have no means to find any further information about the state of the application.
I'm guessing here but I would believe that many of the groups are "closed groups". For example only employees of a certain company or members of an organization can participate. Personally, if no answer is received after reasonable amount of time, I would take it as a rejection. After all, the group admin does not need to send an answer nor does not have to accept or reject the applicant.

Thanks for your reply and clarification.

Most groups are invitation only. If the owner thinks you have the right skills then they may invite you to join.

Thanks Richard for your reply. Got it.

The Red Flag dropdown on the User page used to be "Abusive / Troll" or "Spammer", but the second option has changed to "Spam" - which isn't strictly correct, because the medium is not the message!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

|

And the red flag on messages includes "Abusive/Troll", which is sort of ... can a message be a Troll?
|
|
|
|
|
What if I renamed it to "trolling"?

Sigh.
This is why writing software that developers use is so hard.
I wanted to consolidate the report types because it cleaned up a few things neatly. I'm starting at the report names and thinking "spammer"..."spam"...they are close. They mean the same thing (internally). "Spam has been posted". So "Spam has been posted [by this member]" and "Spam has been posted [in this message]".
"So surely if I just made it "spam" it would be OK?" I says to myself. "Maybe I should make it 'Spam posted'? Would that then confuse them on the member profile page when they start looking for the spam that was posted on the profile page? Who was it posted by? Where'd it go? Would I totally freak everyone out? <takes large slurp of beer>".
So I left it at Spam.
cheers

Dear Colleagues,
Eventually, I've got one more question for you: Do I really contribute articles containing a harmful spam to the CodeProject's web site, don't I ?!
Recently, I've posted an article introducing the Windows Vista/7 sidebar gadget intended to load and render the articles-specific data from the CodeProject's main web page.
*ALSO*, some time ago, I've previously posted a message with my question if development and using of such web applications is not itself harmful and dangerous to the CodeProject's web site. Finally, as the respond, I've been suggested to complete this gadget's development and compose an article being presently contributed to the CodeProject.
An hour ago, I've already posted a message with a similar subject under the site bugs and suggestion forum, *BUT*, this post was marked as spam as well under no reason ?!
Thanks a lot for reading this message.
