The submission wizard has good days and it has bad days. Must be a bad day. Can you please email me your images and files (in a renamed .zip file or .rar file) and I will try and get it sorted.

Hi,

Just posted the article and attached the download project, not able to browse the code and when I am trying to download it, getting the following error message:

/KB/scripting/1195569/angular4datagrid.zip appears to be missing on our servers. D'oh.

We were updating the site at the time, so the file likely lost its way. I am now able to download the file from the article OK.

Thanks,

@Sean-Ewington
Sean, there is a blog in the queue: Memory Usage Inside the CLR[^] - it's images are all missing, and the code blocks are ... um ... rather yellow. I can't inform the author - it's a blog, and we can't comment until it's approved - could you have a look and help him out a bit?

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

according to Member Reputation System page

Post article (A member receives points for posting a new article) = 100 points

I didn't get them after posting my latest article. The first record about it in the Latest Reputation Events table is "Edit Article"
Article Id: 1195543
Is something wrong with it? Can they be restored? With less than 2.5k Writer points 100 poinst make a difference

Probably best to raise this question in Bugs and Suggestions since that forum is closely monitored by the staff.

Well, it is not a pressing matter and certainly not a suggestion. Can't say if it can be classified as bug

Hi,

I'm just finishing writing up an article on Azure cloud services that I am planning on uploading to the site.

Once I have finished writing it and before I publish would someone be willing to have a read of it to check that it makes sense and give some feedback before I publish to make sure it is at least semi decant?

Thanks

Michael

Usually that's what the process of moderation / approval stands for Smile | :)

But yes, there are users willing to help new authors (called / identified as "mentors"), you will recognize them thanks their badge near the nickname (mine is protector).

Edit: Forgot to say that the named users are mentors

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.

There are a group of regular volunteers here called mentors - don't rely on the regular moderation program as people there can be a bit trigger happy and will either reject or approve your article without giving you the help you need. If you leave your article in pending state, reach out to @sean-ewington here at Code Project and he will reach out to the mentors asking if someone would mind offering you help and guidance. You can reach him at sean dot ewington at codeproject dot com.

I'm just curious. Do we report author that post the exact article/blog to CP that were written many years ago? Do CP has such a policy not to allow such a post? If not, should we think about it?

We offer people the ability to aggregate their blog, so that's fine. From there we would eliminate any entries that came in that were too outdated or inappropriate. In those cases I would simply not approve them in the queue and if they somehow make it through, mark them as extremely poor quality or inaccurate / misleading.

C# for beginners Part 3[^]

And a question... Is it allowed to use links with shorten urls that give money to the poster? (i.e. adfly)

Because this blog have them... and I am thinking on reporting it on S&A

No shorten URLs that give money to the poster.

Also I don't think we need another C# beginner tutorial that shows us how to make a calculator. Removed.

Wellllll I don't know about driven to the lions Wink | ;)

I usually just ask the author to remove the link or do it for them and tell them why I did it.
