I submitted an article about a week ago but I can find a way to update it.
Are articles final or am I missing something?

Hi Tawani,
Now that your article has been edited by our editors, the only way to update it is to submit the updated source code and HTML to us. You can use the “Get Article’s HTML” from the link in the upper right hand corner of your article, and send both updated HTML and zipped sourced code to us at submit@codeproject.com.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the process.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

0) There needs to be some sort of replacement message informing people of when a thread is moved, and where it is moved to.
1) I didn't post my Silverlight vs WPF thread in the silverlight forum because i didn't want half-baked responses from people that happily accept any and all sewage coming out of Redmond.

0) Like an automatic email?
1) This discussion was on Silverlight and was of a technical nature that, in my opinion, was valuable for those working with Silverlight. Hence it's best home is in the Silverlight forum.

Can't you rig up a "link" type of message that will take you to the moved message when you click on it? Seems better than having messages just disappear.
|
|

For a link message to work the original poster would have to be made aware of its existence, either by an email or by them trawling through the forum looking for the thread.
Once a message moves all replies to that message will include links back to the original message in the original forum, so any activity regarding the moved message will alert the poster to its new position.
If the member wishes to monitor the thread (eg new messages that are not direct replies) then that causes a problem, but a quick email would solve that.
Having link messages would not, IMO, help more than an email, but would be worse because they would just cause forum debris.

When I write an article, I sometime think that it is final. My code is perfect and I won't change a line.
However quite often in the discussion at the bottom someone suggest something and unfortunately he's or she's right.
Would it be possible for an article to go back to Editing mode even after it is been edited by an editor.
The articles are stored forever and it is a shame they can't be fixed when something is wrong in them.
Allowing us to make minor amendments would improve the overall quality of the articles wouldn't it?

We can absolutely do that. Just let us know which ones.

If this is a frequent request, maybe a "Please allow me to edit my article" button would be appropriate.

I would second that too.
People are shy you know.

It's not just that people are shy; the article submission process is not as transparent as it could be:- There are two ways to submit an article: via email to submit@codeproject.com or via the Article Submission Wizard (ASW).
- Articles submitted via the ASW can be in one of two states: edited or not-yet-edited.
- Depending on which state the article is in, there are two ways to modify an article: via the Modify button or via email.
- On top of this, an article might be subject to a preliminary approval process, which is itself a source of surprise and unexpected annoyance for some authors.
So I don't think it's any wonder that some authors have trouble understanding and coping with the submission process, and anything that can be done to empower them would be very good. After all, this site has made its reputation largely because of quality articles.

This is excellent!
There is only one other thing that keeps coming up, regarding requirement for source code. Sometimes an author has a good article, which requires use of a non-free third-party library or app. For example, articles on WPF might require Expression Blend, or an article on database might require SQL Server. Usually, this passes without comment, because the site is Microsoft-centric.
But what if an article requires the XYZ Widget SDK, which is shareware. Very frequently, such articles are low-voted, because people assume 1) the author works for the shareware vendor; or 2) it is against site policy, because of the requirement for source code.
I believe there should be consistency for all articles. An article shouldn't be judged on whether the non-free parts came from Microsoft or Bozosoft. Please include a statement to this effect in the submission verbiage.

Clicking on the "Bookmark" link which is located in the
upper section of an article view does not add the
Article to "my Bookmarks" and the link does not change to
"article Bookmarked" as before.
Placing the mouse pointer over the "Bookmark" link the explorer
statusbar showes the following:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Bookmarks/Add.aspx?obid=5577&obtid=2&action=AddBookmark
Today I noticed that the "Watch" function does not work either.
Since I'm using the Bookmark feature quite frequently I would really
appreciate if I could get this function back.

I've been trying to replicate the issue but it's stubbornly refusing to not work for me.

I dont know a couple of weeks ago it started not to work any more.
Is there maximum number of articles one can bookmark?
I tried it allready on different computers but that does not matter.
I also tried to right click the link and opened it in a new
window but nothing helped
Thanks

In recent days the CodeProject pages have been getting hung up by referencing something at api.microsofttranslate.com and I end up having to kill my FireFox session. This must be something new as I have been a long time user for CodeProject.com and have not experienced this issue before. Is there something I need to setup or change on my end?
|
|

|
|
Do you mean microsofttranslator.com? microsofttranslate.com looks to be one of those sites whose domain got squatted and is now a "search" website..
|
|
|
|
|
Other's have reported similar problems with pages. I'll remove the translator and see if that helps.
