Inserting space before and after PRE tags has been an issue since the year dot. It's not a stylesheet issue (actually, it is easily solvable using CSS, if only everyone would stop using IE6/7), it's a post-processing issue that we know about and are working to fix.
The Preview thing is an odd, odd case. We're on that too.

Looks like my article is still experiencing phantom locks:
Article is locked for editing by Smitha Vijayan. Lock expires in 3 minutes.
*a couple minutes go by and I refresh the page*

Hi aspdotnetdev,
It seems to be an error. I have not worked on your article recently. I will email the webmaster about it.

Hi Smitha,
Just to let you know this has also been happening with my latest article[^] since you edited it.

Choosing 'Latest Articles' from the 'Articles' menu loads Tips/Tricks with the Tip Tricks check box selected (as default). This should be 'Article' instead.
|
|
|
|
|
There are 3 checkboxes on that page that allow you to filter out the article types you do (and don't) want to see.

I think what's confusing is the inconsistency. There's a menuitem just for tips (it defaults to the other checkboxes being unticked), but there's no such menuitem for blogs.

Exactly..
The thing is when I load the Articles -> Latest Articles section, the Tips / Tricks check box is checked.
Can it not be that the articles check box is checked when a user chooses to view Latest Articles (via menu dropdown) and the tips check box checked when the user chooses to view Latest Tips/Tricks (via menu dropdown)?

I just looked at this again as I have all three boxes ticked. However, if I now select "Latest Tips/Tricks" from the menu the the system filters out the Articles and Blogs by setting their checkboxes unticked; as is correct. If I then select "Latest Articles" again it still leaves the Articles and Blogs checkboxes unticked so still only shows me the Tips & Tricks.

Yep that's a bug. Thanks for the report.

All the forums (Lounge, Site Bugs, Quick Answers, ...) were just down. I wonder if an inefficient paging algorithm and my viewing the first ever message posted on the Lounge caused it. Just a heads up. If that did cause it, you are about to have more fun (I posted, to the Lounge, a link to the first message posted in the Lounge).

I just accessed that link and nothing happened.
Pity.

Took a while to load the page, though, didn't it?

It took longer than other posts on the lounge, but not toooooo long.
I wonder how the whole thing works....

I just wonder if hitting old posts has performance implications for other Code Project users (i.e., does it slow down the site for them).

I applied to a CP group (Code Project beta testers) a few days ago. I did not get any response and since then I've applied 3-4 times but nothing seems to have happened.
Is there something else I need to do?
Now...bring me that horizon. And really bad eggs...Drink up me hearties, YO HO!

Hi Chris, May be this is not bug from your side but still i want to inform you.
After installing firewall (isa server) on our company server pc, i found 3 javascripts error in Home page (www.codeproject.com) and member detail page Viral Upadhyay.
But in my home PC every thing is working fine with no java script error.
I know it is due to firewall install in our company server but may be it can help..
The error description are:
Error: jQuery is not defined
Source File: http:
Line: 10
Error: $ is not defined
Source File: http:
Line: 881
Error: Permission denied to call method Location.toString
Hope this help
And sorry for my bad English

Hi Chris,

This question "inspired" by : "Save and Restore WPF Window Size, Position, and/or State By Jeremy Hutchinson" [^]
Jeremy's article, which I just stumbled across, reminded me that I had never explored using "Settings" in Visual Studio WinForms, and manipulating them to save Form attributes, etc., for whatever reason.
I immediately recreated the gist of his code in a WinForms C# project, of course putting a few "spins" of my own on it.
Personally, I would want any article I contributed to CP to be an "original" work of some kind : at least not just a translation with a few variations thrown in.
But if I, for example, post a comment on Jeremy's article, with a link to WinForms source, it may not "reach" those searching for WinForms and 'Settings ?
I'd be happy to send my source to Jeremy, and invite him to incorporate it, but that seems to me to be an imposition on him, and maybe distracts him from his own work in WPF, and gets him into answering questions on someone else's code : seems all wrong.
So what's best : publish a "Tip" with full credit to Jeremy's article as the "original," and a link to WinForms source (DropBox) with the disclaimer that any questions about the WinForm version should be directed to the Tip thread, not directed to Jeremy's article. ?
best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

I did a couple of derivative articles once. It's okay to do (IMHO) as long as you credit the original author's work.
Since your article probably involves providing sample code, I would post it as an article instead of a Tip/Trick (which doesn't provide for source code downloads).

I agree with John.
I see no problem in a article that deals with the same topic from a different angle, or in a different language, or with a different style; if you consider it worthwhile doing so, then go ahead. And if you borrow ideas, code, or text from another article, you obviously should acknowledge that.
Suggestion: if the new article were merely a language port, I would appreciate reading that in the introduction, so I don't have to read it all assuming I had read the original before.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. [The QA section does it automatically now, I hope we soon get it on regular forums as well]
