Actually not all comments, only some comments.
When I click a comment(from my comments page) it just loads that particular page but its not going(scrolling) to comment's location.

I just edited this message in the Lounge and saw that it was modified. I came back later, and saw that it still showed as modified. I just noticed I got an upvote in my reputation history, and clicked the link to navigate to the message that got upvoted and landed at that message. Only, it was the older version (the unmodified version).
I thought caching only applied to voting, but it seems it also applies to message text. I tried CTRL+F5 to see if the new content would show, but no luck. I'm guessing I got tossed from one server with the newer content to a server with the older content. Although the content was only a few minutes out of date, I don't like seeing out of date content. Perhaps it's related to the 80 to 90 thousand members online at the moment, but... but... but... I no likey to see old content.
Did I mention I don't like to see old content? Because I don't. 
So... my suggestion is: no makey me see old content.

Just a guess from an bystander, but I imagine a site with this much traffic is quite expensive to run, and aggressive caching would have a significant effect on reducing it.
FWIW I find this site pretty fast most of the time.

What a great idea.
We're still working on moving our caching to a distributed cache. You're seeing the issues with caching in a webfarm.

1. Make the "composing" (do not publish yet) checkbox enabled by default. I'm always worried I'll accidentally publish something. Sometimes it takes days or weeks to write an article, and I periodically check it in to test formatting etc.
2. If #1 is checked and you click submit, the next screen says "your article has been published", even if that's not true. Again -- makes me freak a bit

We're redoing the submission wizard and that's one of the changes we've added.

Sweet!
Even better, you could make it a web services and would could write our own clients.
Ooops, there I go again. I just don't know when to stop. 
Actually, on an unrelated note, I noticed there are a half-dozen or so stats applications for member stats that keep breaking because they're based on scraping. That actually would be pretty useful as a web service. Come to think of it, one of my unpublished articles is a RESTful web services framework. It could use a good demo application and I'd be willing to do the dirty work. E-mail me if you want to talk.

This works (previews correctly) in the article editor, but not when published.
I understand why it wouldn't work, but it sure confused me for a while.

I would love it if .xap files were an allowable upload file type for articles.
|
|
|
|
|
We already have the ability to insert .xap files hosted elsewhere into your articles - we just don't yet provide the option to upload .xap files onto our servers due to security concerns. Those concerns may quite well be moot - further investigation is needed.

Yeah, I can't really speak to the security concern; although the reason I asked is that it takes extra configuration to host Silverlight in a cross-domain setup, and may in fact be a greater security threat to end-users.
Also, I don't mind the extra bandwidth on my site, but the likelihood that I remove it from my site in a year without thinking about the consequences is a real one.

Oh, and .svg would be a nice file type to allow too.
|
|
|
|

Unfortunately SVG has a little too much leeway for causing damage

since I switched companies and changed my emails address, I have not been getting newsletters. Does anyone know a reason for this?
|
|

When you switched email addresses an email would have been sent asking you to confirm you own the email address. Click the link and your email is confirmed and we start sending emails. You should also be seeing a notice at the top of all forums alerting you to the fact that your email is unconfirmed.
We do this to ensure someone can't take over someone else's email address and to ensure we aren't spamming someone who doesn't want to hear from us.
I've resent a confirmation email.

I'm having the following issues adding my blog feed to The Code Project:
1. Bullet points 1 and 2 on http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/BlogFeed.aspx[^] are confusing. What category, child, or item elements do these refer to? Can you please provide an example? Is it really necessary? I looked at some blogs that appear to have been successfully set up and they don't appear to contain these elements.
2. I can't tell how to test that I've set it up correctly. If I click "manage my blog" on the page referenced above I see three icons in Google Chrome. The first is "Download Now" which seems like it should be a good test. However when I click it nothing happens. If I view the page in IE none of the icons show up at all. But I'm not even sure if this would be a good test because maybe the engine only downloads *new* articles?
Any help would be much appreciated. p.s. The blog I'm trying to set up is http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/BlogFeedList.aspx?amid=3215[^] aka http://rapidapplicationdevelopment.blogspot.com/[^]. Thanks for any help.

If you are able to modify your RSS feed then the first two points are pointers to which elements you should add the CodeProject tag. I'm guessing you don't have access to your RSS feed setup so the last point, using microformats, is the most applicable
Quote: All you need to do is place an anchor tag somewhere in your blog article's content. E.g.:
<a href="http://www.codeproject.com" rel="tag">CodeProject</a>
If you don't want this link visible just use a style to hide it (e.g. style="display:none") – we'll still pick it up.
Just throw this in anywhere in the article you wish to have consumed and we'll find it.
I'll look into the issues of the refresh icon not doing anything useful for you.

Thanks for the explanation. You're right, I don't have control over my RSS feed, so I've done the micro format option. As far as I can tell I've done it correctly, but it's not picking up any of my articles. The page (http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/BlogFeedList.aspx?amid=4645031[^]) says it polls once per hour, so as far as I can tell it should have picked up articles by now. Can you recommend any other troubleshooting techniques?
Thanks,
Lee

Chris,
I've posted a new blog entry and confirmed that the RSS contains this link. But it still isn't getting picked up. How often does the polling actually happen? Is it truly once per hour? Can you suggest any other debugging techniques?
Thanks,
Lee

Today I was giving an alternate way, on QA, to set the BackColor of an MDI Form: in a Code block the line using the word "MdiClient" within <> delimiters was consistently changed to "mdiclient," and a strange extra closing tag </mdiclient> was added.
This was a straight paste of working code from Visual Studio.
The fix was to go into the code between pre tags and use the &..; formats for the <> delimiters around "MdiClient."
Let's see if I can reproduce it here:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Controls.OfType<MdiClient>().First().BackColor = Color.Red;
}
Hah ! Now, of course, I cannot reproduce it.
Considering it possible I made a mistake and somehow selected an option that was not "Code" after pasting, I reviewed the results of all other format-after-paste options: none of them would give anything near what was reproduced when this intermittent thing was happening.
Oh well, cosmic-ray ?
