always returns the "print" version of the CP article page. Why?
|
|
|
|
|
My standard search[^] has the non-print version of my grid control appearing.
Who knows. Maybe Google secretely has gnomes printing everything out and transcribing it into the GoogleMachines by hand.

I would expect the print version to contain less ballast (navigation, formatting, ads, ...), hence probably get a better relevance score than the non-print one. And one of them to be filtered out because it is very similar to the other.

There's a couple of things that could actually account for it:
1. Less balast. SQL server ranks relevancy based on keyword density. The more times a keyword appears per X number of words, the more relevant it is. Removing the nav bars in the print version makes the keywords in an article stand out more
2. Search engines used to rank material higher if the relevant parts of the page appeared closer to the beginning of the page. Nav bars and stuff would add initial fluff which would lower the ranking of that page.
I'm not convinced #2 is still in effect, though. It's just too artificial and prone to poor results.

Thanks.
IMO growing importance of CSS/JavaScript also should undermine #2

I've used ![Good Stuff | [The good stuff]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/vegemite.gif) emoticon recently, but either my memory is failing me, or you've remove the sheep icon.
I've tried
:sheep:
:baa:
:baaa: <--- this is the one my memory told me.
:baaaa:
:baaaaa:
:baaaaaa:
:baaaaaaa:
And none work!
I am now in a huge panic, and can't post anything without obsessing over sheepses.
Your's with a huge void in his emoticon repertoire,

Forgot the exclamation mark! I knew it was something...
As far as I know, these are left as easter eggs for the (dedicated | people with too much time) to find out.
Thanks for fixing this uber bug! (ok, it was me...)

Well done. I'm not even going to ask how you got all those.
But you know I'm just going to have to add more now

That could be fun - a sort of smiley hunt based on cryptic clues!

Hi,
Maybe what I'm suggesting can already be done, but I just have not been able to find out how. If so, sorry - but maybe then the suggestion would be to make the subscription process more obvious. Clicking the Set Options button at the top of the replies just takes me to the top of the article, which seems a bit odd...
As an example: I would like to subscribe to the responses to Leslie Sanford's C# MIDI Toolkit, so that I get all new messages sent to me (as if I was getting a reply to something I posted there).
Great work you guys do!
all the best,
James Ingram

This has been on our TODO forever. The issue is the number of emails that would need to be generated could quickly overwhelm our servers.
I want it though. I'll try and bump it up in the priority queue.

Thanks for the reply, and for bumping it. It would be very useful.

It is possible that some articles may not display properly on mobile devices, because of the formatting or images they use.
In these cases, it should be possible for an author/editor to mark the article as may not view properly on mobile device. The viewer could then be asked, Do you want to download the article files?, without having to view the article.
|
|

|

What if I allowed members to edit anyone's article, and once an edit was done the member could then accept or reject the edit. If they don't respond within X days (30, 60, 360?) then it gets opened up to the community on whether the update should be accepted.
That way if something doesn't render on mobile then we can have the community take a stab at creating a version that does.

I don't mind if anyone wants to edit any of my articles, as long as the original article isn't touched, and stays at the same web page url. Maybe there should be a mobile.codeproject.com for these retrofitted articles.
I assume you're being serious. Sometimes I have a hard time with humor.
|
|

|

I'm being very serious. There would have to be a 'do not touch my article' or a 'create derived versions only' flag, but think of all the orphaned articles we have lying around...

Yes, in that case, I agree. Are you thinking about letting individuals adopt an article, and it then becomes theirs? Or does it become an "open" article permanently?
|
|
|
|
|
That's up to what the community feels works best.

There are some questions that come up in the Lounge on a recurring basis, frequently starting with the words, What tool do you use...
I suggest that you contact these vendors, requesting a discount for CodeProject members (via entering a special discount code at checkout). These are just some of my favorite tools, I'm sure others can give you more ideas. - Snagit - the best screen capture utility available; great for authors
- Acronis TrueImage - the best backup tool for both files and entire drives.
- HTML-Kit Tools - another great tool for authors, this is the paid version of HTML-Kit.

I reckon it would be great if those posting their stuff in the Catalog would add promotion codes.

Do you mind if I contact these vendors and suggest that to them?
