This post[^] was orginally posted in Lounge.The joke was horrible and even OP accepted it and so on. Later I found this post moved to GIT.
Did OP want this moved to GIT? If not then this gives a perception that GIT is a dump yard for "Bad" posts?
cheers,

Excellent point.
I want to know too.
GIT is not a dumping ground for bad jokes.
If at all it was this bad, it should have been removed by downvoting (as is the normal process for bad posts).

Believe you me, you are not getting all the bad jokes!
There are quite a few in the Lounge you know.
However I think there is possibly a case to say that certain humours work in different cultures/political spheres/historical perceptions, and there is also the 'Lost in Translation' aspect.
I wouldn't worry about the bad jokes, for in a pile of crap comes occasionally a diamond!

I don't think that's what they were annoyed about though. I think it was more the fact that the joke was moved from the lounge to GIT, leading to a presumption that while it wasn't suitable for the lounge it was more than acceptable in GIT.

Thats what the point. Also "half the joke" will not understood anywhere

I moved the post to save the poster from getting crucified on the Lounge and to have others in the Indian forum coach the user. This is, after all, the purpose of GIT.

If enough people voted to remove your sticky messages at the top of each forum (example), would they be automatically removed?
If so, I recommend that you disable that capability and you remove the "vote to remove" option from those messages.

We should test it!

Just tried it on the message above. Seems to have allowed me to report the message as abuse. So... my suggestion is to not allow that.

Update:
The pattern double-quote, backslash, backslash, double-quote was causing it. (I'm writing it out because I don't know if it will do something similar here.)
I changed it to:
@"\"
which is the equivalent in C# and the problem went away.

What is use of "Star" symbol in question ?
I guess it is for bookmarking the question. If yes then Where to find my bookmark.
I tried to find in "My Bookmark" option from my account but it says
"There are no bookmarks for this item type."
Hope this helps.

I posted my first article today using the article submission wizard. Unfortunately, I got a fatal error when I pressed the "submit" button. I got a cute screen that said, "Something bad happened ... ." There was a reference to "invalid view state". I can't get back to my article. I hope that you haven't lost it. I'd like to see it online and have a chance to make any edits that I missed while composing.
I appreciate any help I can get.

I can see an article that's been started but it has no content. An invalid viewstate error is caused when you load a page, that page is changed on the server, then you submit the page. What the server expects and what you send it are different. However, this only happens during site updates and we've not updated for a couple of days. It can also be caused if you have add-ins in your browser that somehow modify the HTML of the page.
Unfortunately you're going to have to resubmit.
We are in the process of beta testing a new submission system that regularly auto-saves, for just these types of issues.

I wrote the article off line, but I did all of the editing on line. Since it was my first time creating a significant document in HTML, I spent about 6 hours doing the editing. I'll see if I can recreate the formatting in Visual Studio so that I can resubmit the article. I tried using an off-line editor from the CodeProject site, but it is quite old and wouldn't allow me to open an existing HTML file.
Thanks for your quick response.
By the way, the partial article was not visible at the time of my original posting, but I can see it now.

Ok, piece of advice from a guy who's written lots of articles. NEVER do this. Always, always use an offline editor (anything from Notepad to Blend to Frontpage).

We are more than happy to do the formatting for you. Just send it to submit@codeproject.com (or use the submission form[^]) and one of the editors will give it some serious TLC.

For the record it is always best to create your article on your local PC and then use the completed document in the submission wizard.
