Using such software user logs on to the website and easily edits his/her articles.
There are Code Project templates available for you to use offline. Read the submission guidelines[^] page to find out where.

That would be a huge undertaking, especially for a primarily volunteer run site. Remember, Code Project has very few full time staff, and relies on volunteers to help out. These volunteers cannot dedicate 100% of their time to doing this because they normally have jobs to help pay the bills.
Gold Members of the site do take a look at unapproved articles and, if the article is almost there, will generally offer advice or critique. In the case where it looks like the article is unpublishable because it's just the template or the code is missing, the article will be reported for deletion.

Agreed, but...

There's nothing special about CodeProject's "format" - it's called HTML - it's a standard - look it up.
Why don't you just use a local editor to write your articles, and then copy/paste the text into the article editor. That's what I do - it usually takes me a week or two to write and article, but just a couple of minutes to post it.

I would suggest that you only post finished articles, and draft the articles on your own computer. Otherwise, they may not suvive the moderation.

It is unpublished, and posting an incomplete article might not get a warm welcome.

I can guarantee it won't get a warm welcome. "Might" doesn't even enter into the equation...

Yep. "Might" just there depending on how incomplete the article is. If it looks like an article template, then that's a for sure cold welcome. Otherwise, if he's 90% complete, there's a chance it might be looked past. Depends all on the article content.

Articles sent via email to submit (at) codeproject may take a while depending upon the backlog of work on the CP Editors. Your best bet would be to contact webmaster (at) codeproject.com after at least giving them a week's time.
You may also like to submit the article through the automated article engine but be warned that through this mode, your content would be published almost immediately and hence the onus of content and presentation lies wholly on you. Hence you ought to double and triple check the content before letting it go live.

No, the best bet is to contact submit@codeproject.com to see how things are going.
Articles are usually posted within 1-2 business days.

...maybe it's just me, but every time I see the 'i' icon beside the 'Monthly Competition' in the 'Announcements' section, it makes me think that a page errored out in an IFrame or something.
...maybe change it to something else? Just a thought

Hello,
I submitted my latest article on October 1. When I view my article Posted date at the top right says 1 October. However, if I log out and then view my article it says 30 September. The same thing happens with other articles too. When I am logged out posted date is less by one.

It's because when you are logged in all times are displayed using your timezone. When you are logged out they are displayed using the server's timezone.

When showing server time instead of local, would it be possible to indicate the timezone to avoid confusion?

Hi
Every article has a message board at its bottom,
we have a facility that we can get a notification for the messages we have answered.
BUT what I want is
would not it be better if you provide a facility that we can get the notification for every message and thread posted for that article wether we have posted an answer or not.
|
|
|
|
|
We're looking at implementing that.

Would be useful to refer to specific lines in the code PRE blocks when explaining functionality.
1 string s = null;
2
3
4 string s = null;
5 string s = null;
5 string s = null;
6 string s = null;
7 string s = null;
E.g. "Lines 4-7 calculate the coffee strength required for optimum productivity."
Has this idea ever been considered?

I've thought about it, and there are a few javascript includes that will do this for us. Just not sure...
Maybe we need a vote on it.

Why don't you just make it a setting in the article submission wizard, and default it to "off".

How about an attribute on the PRE tag? IIRC you can set the "lang" attribute to specify the syntax highlighting. So maybe "lineNumbers='true'" could enable the line numbers.
