No, it was actually Time travelling aliens. But we've fixed the problem.

What an incredibly depressing outlook. I'm guessing what the context was, but I really like to think of programming as enjoyable, creative art (which can be very hard, but rewarding) work, and not merely "work" as in "a thing I do 9-5 that's hard and for which I get a paycheque to pay the bills".
Maybe it's just because it's Spring outside...

The comment was quite apposite in the response where it was first posted.

I created the following article ( http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=12302&aid=382389[^] )
via the Wizard but it seems to be stuck in the composing state, even though I've hit the publish button.
Also, the main problem is that the article does not show up anywhere in my profile -- neither under My Articles nor Submitted Articles.
Is there a problem or is it awaiting authorization from someone? Thanks for any help.

Before pressing the Publish button did you check the "I have read and agree to the contributor's agreement"?
|

That's a good question. I did click the "I have read and agree to the contributor's agreement".
Additional notes: Originally I posted this article for publishing on 05/10 and I failed to save the link so I had no way to get to the article until -- fortunately -- someone else --somehow-- saw the pre-published article and posted a comment on it. When they did that it provided me a link to the article in my email.
However, I still have no other way to get to the article -- it's missing from my profile.
Thanks again for comment.

Since I can get to the article via that link I tried clicking the Update link, then I made sure that the option
Work in progress: don't publish
Uncheck to publish
is unchecked.
I also insured that the licensing option (I have read and agree to the contributor's agreement) was checked.
Then I did a preview and noticed that the download links seem to fail with the error :
No download file was specified.
But, then I went ahead and clicked the Publish button again.
That puts it back in "Composing" mode.
However, at that point the download links do work.
Thanks for any help.

There's a checkbox highlighted in yellow that says
Work in progress: don't publish
Uncheck to publish
If you uncheck this it allows it to be published, meaning it goes into the moderation queue (as pending) and from there, when approved, will be published.
I've fixed this (and created local copies of your images) and it's now in Pending status (with only one more vote needed to get it published)

Just to make sure you know how this all went down, I figured I'd let you know that on thursday May 10, just a few minutes before midnight I actually did uncheck the
Work in Progress checkbox and I also clicked the checkbox next to the licensing question and then I hit the Publish button. When I did that, the article said it published and I forget what I did after that, because it was late and I closed my browser (FireFox 12).
Then I thought, hey, let me check and see if I can see my articles, but I could not see it. I thought I had lost the article.
(I had also had some difficulty with uploading my files -- the uploader on the right side had simply failed every time I tried.)
Then, the next day, someone had somehow seen my article and mentioned that the downloads were missing. But that email had a link in it which took me back to my article and I was relieved it was still there.
Here's the link I had : http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/SubmissionWizard.aspx?aid=382389[^]
Originally that got me to the odd version of the article with the comment from http://www.codeproject.com/search.aspx?q=author%3a%22Jani+Giannoudis%22&doctypeid=1%3b2%3b3&authorid=826344[^]
I know this was way too long, but just wanted you to know the steps in case it'll help you resolve the issue for others.
Thanks

Not it isn't Having a detailed report like this is priceless. Thank you.
Elina found the root cause of the issue and has fixed it. I'll deploy the updates tonight so this shouldn't happen again.

I already published (Title may be little different, because it grabbed title from recovered auto saved section) above mentioned article and yet not received the what happened to it.
|
|
|
|
|
Based on the tips that you have submitted, it looks like you are talking about this one: List SQL Server table column name as rows[^]
This looks like already published and open for public view. Others can view it and rate it.
|
|
|
|
|
No this is not. This is approved. What i am referring is title called "Transform column values in to a row". Title can be little different coz, auto saved appeared today and half of article is gone.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, it looks like Chris has to look for it. I don't see anything like that. For me, you have in total 4 tips till date (published or waiting to be published)
|
|
|
|
|
You are correct. That's what i was wondering. Article is gone without a trace.
|
|
|
|
|
All I can see is a deleted version with 3 lines in it:
Quote:
Following will transform your table column names into rows
select COLUMN_NAME 'All_Columns' from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME='yourTableName'
Does this ring a bell?

It would be good if you share the link of the article where you are facing this issue. It might be one of those one-off case.
