I haven't done this in a while thanks to Google, but exactly where does one go in CP land to browse all articles?
When I go to go the Programming Tips - General[^] category for instance, I know it's not showing all articles in that category because I have one that's not listed.
Unless I've been shafted from being on Santa's bad list.

I find loading "Articles", after taking some time, gets "Latest Updates". The thing is, one has to have a filter tag in mind. So first I find a tag on that page, click it, then I've got the relevant content.

I see where you can sort, but not filter. I mean the search function pulls it up. So the question remains, how can one just browse articles if they don't know what they're looking for and just killing time?

Yes sort ... I usually then pick "Sort By", "Created(New-Old)", which'll give up the time sequence.

But that is the plaguing issue for which there is no logical solution here @ codeproject. Let me count the number of times I've attempted to receive a pat on the graphic spine by posting a Q in Q&A regarding the "tag" cloud issue.
As I see it "tags" refers to "more than one tag", hence the appellative "cloud".
Doesn't work. And as far as questions go, elicits perjorative rants from answerers.

Actually, it's working now. I didn't change a thing! If any buttons were pressed that caused something to blow up, I'm blaming @Pete-OHanlon.

Well,
I guess you know me now. I'd also recommend Soundbooth to edit audio .wav converted from .cda; only if you've got Premier Pro. That, to save audio reversed.
First.

At best this still only shows articles updated within the past year. There's no window shopping / browse all area anymore?

We always assumed that anyone browsing would give up after the 100th, so this page[^] should sort you out.
However, I have had on my TODO for ages now a "Hit me" button that would take you to a random article. Any interest in something like that?
cheers

I know CP is much, much bigger these days, but how would anyone just stroll across an article now?
Ironically enough, this is the same issue search engines have and why technologies like Gopher died out.

If it were like a random highly voted article that would be cool. Kinda like CP meets Tinder, could be an addictive page to be on.

Since I got ya here man, am I missing something or is all that's required to update an article's thumbnail is simply replacing the image file with a new one with the same name and then Ctrl+F5 the listing page like a wild beast?
Jeremy Falcon

The thumbnail is automatically generated by taking the first (non-small) image in the article content. I could make it so you can override this if there was enough wailing and gnashing of teeth.

When I simply replaced the generated image with a better looking one though, the listing page went back to the default image rather than the show the new one or the old generated one. Was hoping to put something a bit fancier in its place.

Our system then replaces that with a less better looking one.
What if I simply added the option "Let me provide my own thumbnail file" checkbox that, if checked, will make the system not overwrite the file you upload?
cheers

That would be awesome. My only concern is people abusing it and trying spam on CP, but that's what editors are for I suppose. What about that being like a perk for gold + members at least?

It's easy enough to abuse - and moderate - as it stands already. We should be good.

We've been using git at work and after a few months of using it... it still drives me a bit mad.
For example: git pull origin branch
Should in theory be a specialized version of: git pull
...yet you end up in a weird limbo (now thinks your local is ahead of origin/branch) because the tracking pointer somehow doesn't get updated when you specify the branch (it does with the generic "git pull").
Anyone deal with git regularly? I keep finding some of these little inconsistencies that are driving me mad. I may just be partial to SVN since I used that for years but it seems like everything is overly complex for no good reason in git.
Don't get me started with hash values being used as commit identifiers.

I completely agree. I may (very likely) be a dinosaur, but the particular use of git at one customer has me thinking of leaving.

I believe the git developers have been quoted as saying their approach was, "if in doubt, do the opposite of what was done in SVN"... it seems like an absolutely idiotic approach to something. Instead of learning from the mistakes in the past, you're bound to invent new mistakes... that's what I see in git, completely new mistakes (innovative mistakes in design?  ).
