Chris -
Here at work I've tried it on an HP 4300 as well - same result. Have no access to any other browsers here. Found hard-copy of an article I printed last weekend at home using IE7 on Vista, printed on a little Okidata laser and, while it didn't TRUNCATE at the page break, it dropped about 5 lines of the code in the middle of a code block. I'll try it again at home this evening.
go into Print Preview and navigate to around page 17 of Karl Shifflett's article at
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPFBusinessAppsPartOne.aspx?display=Print[^]
The code there runs to more than a printed page and I can only get one page to print. The top of printed page 18 starts with the next textual part of the article. About 10-15 lines get dropped.
If it might help, I can save to an XPS file and send it to you

The 'new message' button is missing in my member page, it's a new CP feature or simply my fault?

Hello Elina, any update to this? Thanks

Sorry - I'm the slow coach here.
I was in the middle of updating the system and found a small bug that has required a lot of reworking and cleaning out of some deadwood (spring cleaning early). Just doing some final testing and will have the new code up in a jiffy.

No worries, just wondering is all.
Thanks for the update though

I do have one quick question for you, what ever happened with the RSS feed for all user blogs? It only looks like you can look at an individuals blog in RSS now.
Thanks

CAN YOU GUYS PLEASE STOP. Can you find some other way to take people off of the front page other than degrading our articles. It's really annoying I get a little insulted when you guys do it.

Why do you feel that somebody has voted 3 to get rid of one of your articles? Maybe they voted 3 because they just weren't keen on it, or didn't understand it. Also - why do you think the Suggestions forum is the place to post this? One thing though - I'm now curious enough about your article to want to take a look at it.

Look, this isn't just my articles. I've seen this done to everyones when they get a vote of 5 and then their article sits on the front page for the whole day. Someone places a vote of 3 and never comments. It's extremely rude if you ask me and I'd never do it to someone else. I consider this a "Site Bug" and thats why I placed it here. There has got to be someone out there who has noticed this too. Hopefully someone else will speek up too. I said my words and now I guess I'll shut up until someone else complains. I apologize if I sound like a whiner who can't face the fact they got a 3 on an article. That is not my intent. I love feedback, I just hate feedback that doesn't send me into a better direction.

At least it wasn't a 1. The forced comment for 1 and 2 votes probably saved you from a totally unrealistic vote. I don't use sharepoint, so I can't comment on the veracity of the code, and am therefore unqualified to vote on it, but it's certainly worth at least a 3. If I used SharePoint, and if the code works (and I'm sure it does), it's a 4. If I actually used the code and it solved a problem for me, it would be a 5.

We may ask for a new feature: the home addresses of all article's voting people...

I'm just saying... Every night someone votes a 3 on new articles (not just mine) without leaving a courtesy message on why. I'm not saying that my articles don't deserve a 3 but I'm saying they don't deserve a 3 just because someone is tired of looking at them on the front page. I would appreciate it if there was another way to take it off. I would rather it not be displayed on the front page then have it knocked because it's scoped to a specific audience.

Ny suspicion is that you've been downvoted by somebody who has an article that's also on the front-page or has just been knocked off and wants to get it back to the top. Possibly one way to get round this would be to ban somebody from voting on articles in the front page if they have just submitted an article (and then nullify any votes they've just placed if they post a new article within 5 days).

We're putting in place more voting diagnostics so we can find this sort of stuff and just nuke it.
The system's not perfect, but I think an 'ultimate' solution is pretty much impossible unless you force full disclosure of all votes.
...and then people just create anonymous accounts...

How about exposing all article voters, < 3 requires a comment all others are at least listed.
I like to check the quality of the 3 voter, and would like the opportunity to discuss the reason for the vote, especially if the voter is someone I respect, a writer or supporter of the forums.
Although this has the potential to start a flame war (probably why it has not been done) when some tri voter passes through I think it would eliminate these.

I'm not a CEO or a manager, and I don't intend to be one in the next few years.
When I selection "MFC/C++" in the "Article Category" section, CP always resets it to "CEO/Manager"

Thanks.

Can you trying clearing your CodeProject cookies? I've seen that before (only on Firefox) and the only way I can get it to reset is to clear cookies, after which it seems to work fine again.
I've not encourntered this on Chrome, Opera or IE.

I'll eat my cookies and report back.
(seems to work ok on safari on OSX).
THanks.

I was reading this thread in the soapbox[^] when I got this idea. It's not original as I got it from photo.net where people can choose to allow/disallow ratings on their uploaded photos. Only rated photos show up in the top-x sections, competitions etc.
Similarly we could allow an author to disallow ratings on his article. It will be marked as unrated and will not show up in searches based on vote-count, popularity-count etc. The only statistic it will have is view-count.
And readers can choose to see only rated articles. That way they can avoid viewing rating-disabled articles.
You may feel that some authors might abuse this to post poor articles and then disable rating. But "Report this article" will continue to work, so if enough people report it, it will get deleted. This system works very well in photo.net and people don't complain about the bad ratings they get because they know they chose to get those ratings.
[Chris : If you like this idea and are going to add it to the todo, please insert it at the top if it's a stack or the bottom if it's a queue implementation]

The 'force a comment' system has alleviated a lot of the spurious 1-voting so I don't feel the issue is as relevant anymore. See John's reply about the age of the votes.

Yep I fully agree - that worked great. A lot better than I had initially thought it will.
I still think the un-ratable option is a good one - though I personally would never use it on my articles.
