Sorry if this seems like a noob question. If you submit a blog post entry and then try and modify it, you are not able to upload zip files to accompany the article (at least not that I can tell). Is this by design?
Thanks

It is by design at the moment. Allowing zips and images for Technical blog entries to be hosted on CodeProject is something we debated internally, with the thought being that these items will already be hosted elsewhere.
However, if it's something that you feel is needed then we'll do it.

Thanks Chris. Sacha was commenting on my entry that the code should be hosted here and I just couldn't see a way to do that. No worries.

We'll add uploading of files for blogs. It's turning out to be slightly (and surprisingly and annoyingly) tricky, but give us a day or so.

 Of course.... As you said the files are hosted elsewhere already so personally I wouldn't bother.
But thanks Chris!

How long has this been around?
This message is very long. Long messages increase download times for those with slow connections. Are you sure you want to post a message this long?

Odd. I thought I'd been more long winded than that before, but don't recall seeing it before.

Dear friends of CodeProject staff,
I have a question about article competition and about prize assignments.
In march I published the DataGridView Filter Popup[^] article which received good responses from other CodeProject users.
The latest newsletter announces the winners of march. I agree with the choice of the Perceptor: An artificially intelligent guided navigation system for WPF[^] article as best overall article, but I don't agree with the choice of the Multi Remote Desktop Client .NET[^] as the best c# article.
Of course I always appreciate who share something with others but I think that the proposed code is substantially a wapper around a preexisting activex control and that the article content is very laconic.
I am quite disappointed and I would know which are the rules applied in designating the "best" article. I just realized that the rating and popularity indicators don't matter. Nor it doesn't matter if the article proposes an original solution and if it contains a comprehensive explanation.
I share my code because I like to think I've done something useful to others and to learn from others. I think everyone is encouraged to do more and better when he or she receives positive feedbacks. The others appreciations is fundamental and a prize is a kind of formal appreciation about the done work.
Considering that every competition provides its rules, I don't understand why you don't make public your rules.
Morever, I don't understand why you don't write the reasons that brought to award an article.
Thank you very much
V.R.

Winners are chosen by the readers, not by us. I've updated the rules on the Monthly comp page[^] to make this clearer (they should appear in half an hour or so)

I agree with you, Vincenzo; competitions rule is not clear. Also, you know that with a server at hands, you can receive messages that you are not permitted to see a public page, you can have postings mixed in any way against you, and many more; also, sometimes claiming for being a winner and writing about a programmer's difficult life might lead to win a competition with a non technical article.

Please help me out.....

What problem are you seeing? "Can't download" doesn't give me a lot to go on. Have you retried?

We are having problems with spoofing of authors, how about if an author is added an email is sent to that person and doesn't proceed until the added author approves it?
In addition removal of an author should only be possible after apporval by all authors listed.
Yes, a pain but this is getting out of hand.

I do need to do something but part of the issue is that sometimes email simply doesn't make it through to some members because of over enthusiastic spam blockers. This could mean articles are stuck in limbo.
I guess an email "Please approve this" can be sent to all involved, along with instructions to each author to pass this on to the other authors to ensure they get it.

That seems reasonable. Since all authors involved in something should be taking a look at the post editing version anyway spotting cases where the filters were hungry shouldn't be a real difficulty.

That's actually almost coherent. Some (most?) of the blog entries have outstripped all previous records of crapdom.
[update] I've just been through all this guy's blog postings. What a huge pile of crap. Whoever approved these should be whipped and then banned.[/update]

Really sad to hear such a comment. I'll delete all my posts and will remove my blog from Codeproject RSS feed.
Regards,
Jijo.

Bring 'em back. My blogs also appeared severly mangled, and Chris and Co sorted them out for me. Please don't deprive CP of them just because a technical SNAFU got in the way.
