I think you are right. There must be some kind of filtering going on, because it's been a long time since I've seen an article (even in the Needing Approval column) that contains nothing but the boilerplate text.

When viewing tips/tricks and articles I can't see how to go about editing them. My current editor status is gold which should be enough going by the legend. Do I have to do anything special to be allowed to edit them?
Regards,

I think you need to be Gold Author to be able to edit tip/trick or articles.

I couldn't any information about that.
Interesting ...

Users can also set what level is required on articles for others to edit.

Thanks for the information!

It would be better to split Articles and Tips into separate Tabs.
Do the high change frequency of Tips, Articles updates are scarcely noticeable.

Thanks Indivara. I missed this one.
But the new CP information structure is a big regression for article authors, and should not be accepted.

The video that works is a YouTube one that is embedded with iframes. Currently that is the only type of video that will work on Code Project, but that will change.

Sean,
Can you clarify exactly how to add a youtube video into an article; I previously tried and failed miserably.
What about Vimeo vids?
Cheers,
|
|

Actually I'm now remembering you have to have an editor status to embed a YouTube video. Maybe this works because it's a blog? We'll look into that ...
Once we have video working we'll be adding detailed instruction on how to do it in the FAQ. Should be soon
Thanks,

I tried what the author had done, it works for me in an article too, with YouTube videos (though that doesn't prove anything). Haven't tried anything else yet
I'll post the syntax here if that's OK.
(How he figured it out is beyond me, the insert movie button in the article editor never does anything)

What are the colors in Q/A panel and what is meaning of each color ?

Assuming you haven't changed any settings:
Blue: question not up or down voted, you haven't viewed it.
Magenta: question not up or down voted, you have viewed it.
Grey: Question down voted (someone thinks it is a bad question), you may or may not have viewed it.
Red: Question up voted (someone thinks it is a good question), you may or may not have viewed it.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

My opinion, that would be a little harsh. 
He looks like discovering soemthing about FTP and now posting it to threads all over related to it. We have advised him to post it as a Tip/Trick which would help others in future.
Surely, if he continue to do the stuff then someone powerful needs to talk to him.

Is there any facility to receive email whenever new question posted on forum ?
|
|
|
|
|
The forum header emboldens.
There could be issues if 7.5 million users were to be emailed every time there was a new question.

Agreed , But from our end we can give user to select category of question . Its simillar to tag selected while posting the question . right ?
|
|
|
|
|
If your intent is to know when a new question is posted, it would be almost all the time 24/7. Just login when you are free/want to and go through the questions. You will hardly find that there is no new question. If you have some other reason/purpose for the request, please do share.
