those Days, we have tons of empty articles submitted through the wizard.
so, my question is : would it be possible to have the "Inapropriate article content" selected automatically in the list rather than "Impossible to Download files", which happens very less often...?

I reckon is a fresh article receives vote rating of 1, it should be removed from the latest submissions top 10 window.

That will give malicious users too much power

Who me, seriously, you need to capture the empty articles and deter people from trying to get into the 'limelight' with substandard articles.

We try to do this automatically but unfortunately our code just isn't sophisticated enough. If they make even a small change to the basic template provided then we miss it.
We do try and be good about nuking the duds, but there's another option I might enable this weekend

Chris - in the old version of CP, when you clicked on a message in your Latest Comments list, you were taken to a new window to view the post. Is there any chance of that being resurrected?

Sure. Added to our Request/TODO list.
Done. Will be available in next upload.
Sincerely,
Elina
Life is great!!!
Enjoy every moment of it!

Thanks for that - although I don't think Shog's happy.

Wow, i hated that behavior, and was rather glad to see it removed. Thanks for not being able to keep your mouth shut, Pete.

I'd say sorry, but I'm not.

Won't be the first time someone's personal preference has been integrated into software due to them speaking up first.

In the hyperlinked discussion, they have categorized it as 'Rude Bug'. So, you are angry on Chris?

The posts are different. You have to look hard to see but it's not an exact repost and so our dupe check was (correctly) not triggered

feature coming along?
We need a place to put those frequently asked lounge product / source questions more than ever. 
Seriously I think this could be a valuable resource for CodeProject to provide in addition to the great ones already here.
Is there some reason you guys don't see how valuable it could be or am I just thinking of something far more grandiose than you guys are?

A wiki would be very useful.
It wouldn't even need to be a terribly full-featured wiki. A single page associated with each forum providing full history and very limited formatting would suffice for FAQs.
You could almost accomplish this with the article system, except that 1) there is no revision history for articles, and 2) you'd have to explicitly add the IDs of every potential author.

Anybody got a server lying around where you can install David's ScrewTurn Wiki? 
All you'd need is Chris to add in a redirect for wiki.codeproject.com to that server.

I am getting the following error message in Lounge for the past few minutes.
Seems there is some data corruption. Sorry - no can do.
Is a part of sentence missing?

Hey VDK,

That's a good site! I've never seen it before.

One of my other favorite website is
The Free Dictionary
http://www.thefreedictionary.com[^]
I should actually thank one of my collegue who blogs at http://mytidesandtidings.blogspot.com/[^] who introduced me this site sometime back. It has a good interactive components like Hangman, Spelling Bee and Matchup. Perhaps I just thought you would love to visit that too.
From the time she introduced me this website, this has been another tab in my IE 7 to keep myself occupied without wasting time in hot sun and offloading the wallet unnecessarily.
