I think it's be better if the "A Visit to Redmond" articals where all grouped together under their own heading... at the moment they are places all over the list at http://www.codeproject.com/interview/[^]

Is it me falling asleep or ?

I have posted an article yesterday, titled "HtmlPreview" using the live submission wizard. And, unlike what happened when I posted C# articles, this one has been immediately and automatically put in the 5th place of the "last 10 updates" in the homepage.
Of course, none of the articles before the 5th place were new or even updated (which would have been a reliable cause).

So question is, bug ? weird "last 10 updates" behaviour for articles about HTML instead of C# or C++ ?

Or is it because that's the first time I post an article with "Advanced" status level?

And I swallow a small raisin.

If you post an articel on the same day as another has been posted/updated, they go in the order they were received on that day, so if you posted an article which was the 11th new/update for that day, it would appear off the bottom of the list.

We really need a last 10 new articles and last 10 updated lists to avoid this.

I think I need a new quote, I am on the prowl, so look out for a soft cute furry looking animal, which is really a Hippo in disguise. Its probably me.

Well actually no, I have posted two articles yesterday, and "HtmlPreview" (posted at 23:54 PM local time) is far behind "C# C++ preemptive Popup Killer" (posted at 16:00 PM local time).
I have check out the homepage (and did a couple of refresh to make sure the cache didn't interfere), and I am sure that something is wrong, particularly with where is "Html Preview" in the list,

And I swallow a small raisin.

As for suggestions, I would like CP people to make the "All topics" tab unfoldable with 10 more entries. Most tabs including C# and ASP.Net have almost no life, while entries in the "All topics" are delisted within a day. This deserves enhancement,

And I swallow a small raisin.

The articles on the front page are ordered first by date, then alphabetically by titles AFAIK. If yours is the only, or first one, that day, it will automatically go to the top of the list.

Also, don't forget the servers are in Canada thus are in a funky time zone (I think it's GMT-4 or -5).

HTH,

Article rating's

I can never remeber which articles I have rated and which I've not, so rather then letting us try and rate an article we have rated for before (and getting the 'Rating error: Please vote only once!' message), how about not showing the rate scale instead?

Or I could try to sort my head out and not be so forgetful. Unsure | :~

Yep. That would be a nice featuire. I've often forgot if I've rated an artical or not. Would be nice if there was a little check mark or something to show that you've already rated an artical.

Is this the traditional Irish spelling of 'article', or are you just messing with my mind? Wink | ;)

Hello!
Every article section could use a button to open the article in a printer friendly format so the right edge of the text doesn’t get cut of.
That goes for users in Europe with A4 as paper size an IE as browser.
