The CCC has been moved to the Scrapbook section which holds a bunch of "don't really fit here" things. There was enough interest in the Crosswords that it seemed sensible to post a guide to them.
Articles should be about programming, but articles which help the community work too.

Its the start of the rot Chris. CP will stop being a good site for programming and become a general dumping ground for anyone looking to raise their profile points on CP for whatever odd reason they should want to do so.
I dont suppose you will let the Latin Primer get published, it cant be of much help to the community to learn a languaghe as useless and dead as that.

Why not take a look at http://www.codeproject.com/kb/scrapbook/[^] and look at the dates of the articles in there before you get too hot and bothered.
It's fine. Cryptic crosswords are problem solving games. I can think of worse things than that.

I dont feel that strongly about it Chris, its more a question of the direction you think CP should go in.
I had a look at the scrapbook, and there is a lot of IT stuff in there. And your traveling info is even relevant, since al ot of us do travel as part of our job, so even tenuous, its valid. But if you put Latin in there, its going to stick out like a sore thumb.

I'll ask the editors to be extremely vigilant and ensure CodeProject doesn't suddenly careen off in a crazy new direction.

As much as I like the diversity which makes this site so enticing, I do agree with your statement!
Maybe some thought should be given to creating a new category?

How about an article on GW? I'm sure that would go down well...

50/50!
As always. Which means at least half the people on CP would find it helpful. Perhaps we can talk Chris into accepting one?

Dont you have a duty to represent the interests of CPs members (even if its only 40% of them)?

I think Dave knows that his Latin Primer article didn't go over very well with the community at large. You bringing it up here doesn't help the situation any. Let it be.
|
|
|
|

As you can see its clearly a quesiotn to Chris about CPs new direction as a general interest site rather than a programming site. (Perhaps we can have Guitar and GW forums too, or French even?)
I am not starting a war with Dave, so dont worry.

Yes please. I could do a series of topics on things such as applying modes, practical sweep picking, super modes, creating chord sequences and so much more.

Thing is, its been done before. and in greater quantity and quality elsewhere on specific guitar forums.
And thats my point.
We arent Latin teachers, or guitarists, or what ever. We are SW engvineers. This is why we are here, and this is what CP represents.
Oh, andx I got the amp working again. In fact even better: The R100 mod, effects loop cable, better valves, its not got a meaty clarity to the crunch instead of trebbly muddiness.

Be my guest!
Actually the guitar forum I also frequent has a general discussion forum too, CP, which has three, is unusual, but interesting.
Personally, I like that aspect of CP; that SW engineers from all round the world can discuss sensitive issues in an open frank way. And the discussions can be very funny too.

I am not going to make it a proper article.
I made a suggestion and some people indicated their interest.
I am posting it for a while, then, once it has been critiqued and moulded to make it as good as I can get it, I will be uplifting and putting it on a web page with a pointer in my sig.
I think that will be the best way forward.

I tried moving an answer by OP to where it belongs, but with no success.
This post: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/147339/Cell-Text-property-of-grid-is-blank-when-allowsort.aspx#Answer1[^]
It alerts with this message: Oops! There seems to be a server problem, please try posting your comment later.
I tried refreshing, Ctrl+F5, truncating the original (for trimming down the character count) but nothing helps.
To my wonder, I was able to add comment to the question and the other answer but not this particular answer.
Could you please check what's the issue.
The comment to answer 1 is (in case someone could add it):
[moved from answer]
OP wrote:
Hi,
Thanks for your reply,
I am already using placeholder to add the gridview control.
i.e. placeholder.Controls.Add(grd);
Also tried to add div control in place of placeholder to add the gridview; but that didn’t work either.
It would be helpful if you can explain your solution, if you have tried my code.
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The ' in "didn't" is actually non ASCII so was screwing up our decoding. I've corrected this and made a correction to the code for the next upload, and posted the comment.

Thanks, but you just discovered another bug (not actually a bug, but I do not have a word for it).
Current Answer1 was Answer2 when I posted this message. It got voted-up and is now Answer1.
So the comment should have been made to current Answer2.
I am correcting it.

After seeing this behaviour I was curious how profile answer links work because answer position will always change.
I just went there and saw that the answer links to the post and navigating to #AnswerNo part is done using jQuery.
May I ask you how this is done? The very first thing that came to my mind was you are storing the MemberName/ID in some hidden field or something (when we are navigating to the selected answer) and check that against the answerer MemberName/ID. And then navigating to corresponding answer using jQuery. But this method seems a little complex to me. There muct be some better way.
I hope I will get an answer.

Just looking at my rep points and noticed that I got -16 points for be being one voted in a Lounge message. Is that correct? Couldn't see how this was calculated.
