Hi Sean,
I have edited it usual way and always keeping it as draft. It is a longer article so I have edited it few days in draft mode and I have left "Work in progress: don't publish" check box selected when I have saved draft version. Note that I have always pressed "Publish" button in Editor (even a preview few times), and later I have opened submission wizard for that article.
When I have went back to the my article list I have always saw this article with the "This is an unfinished article" message in my list. Also when I have edited it again I have always saw the previous version. Everything was fine and I have several times saved the article and continued with writing later.
In some point it was gone from the list of my articles (not even as a "unfinished" article) I have tried to find the URL in the browser history and when I have opened that URL I got an not found error.
Also, when I try to open link that has been remembered in the history for submission wizard http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/SubmissionWizard.aspx?aid=390122[^] I get the following error:
Problem: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Ticket: 5336586
Server: Web01
I hope that this helps.
There is really a lot of text I have entered there so I would really appreciate if you could help me to restore at lease something.
Thanks,
Jovan

Thanks very much for that. Do you happen to know the ballpark of the last day (and more importantly, time) when you last hit the "Publish" button?
Thanks,

Hi Sean,
I'm looking at my browser history logs it shows me when I have opened submission wizard page. I think that I have opened and saved changes 0.5-1 hour after I have opened submission wizard. The last time I see is 24/05/2012 5-7 PM GMT+1 (Belgrade). I see one previous opening on 24/05/2012 10:31 AM GMT+1 so I believe that I have updated in between 10:31 AM and 11:30 AM. On 23/05/2012 I have one activity between 5 PM and 6 PM GMT+1. I'm not sure exactly when I have pressed save but I hope that this could help.
I'm not sure in what zone you are tracking times so I have placed times in my zone GMT+1 (Belgrade).
Thanks,
Jovan

Hi Jovan,
That was remarkably specific, thank you. We used your information to dig a little deeper, but I am very sorry, we were not able to recover anything. We have made some changes to the system, however, that after the next update it will be unlikely this precise incident would happen again, even if by accident. Again, our apologies, I wish we could have recovered something.
Thanks,

would it be difficult to have the Codeproject Daily news (Like Google News) at the code project website in addition to it being posted through Email ? I was just wondering.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simple link to "TODAY'S" Insider news just like Google News. No lists and archives.
|
|
|
|
|
You mean something like The Insider News[^]?
Or do you mean an archive of the actual Daily Insider newsletters?

I meant a simple Link - like Codeproject NEWS that shows you the Insider news of the DAY. ( Exactly similar to Google News )
|
|
|
|
|
So you want just a listing without the responses shown? Like a MacRumors.com type thing?

Perhaps have the active topics stay at the top in the forums so we don't lose them so quickly?
If it moves, compile it

What this does is make it so threads never go away. By doing this the threads get longer and longer and it takes pages and pages to get to the next thread. The most recent thread then becomes self-perpetuating.

well they should wait until we are done to post then!!!!

As it's bound to be about bacon, I think that's fair.

Any reply to a comment can be deleted without leaving a trace.
I don't not assert it is a bug, however we end up with funny surreal comments (see, for instance here[^]).
Veni, vidi, vici.

Yeah, such a finger painting coder!

Yeah, it's not optimal, but I'm revamping QA soonish and that issue will...disappear.

I am sorry to bring this but I just noticed,
- Go to codeproject homepage
- Under the Latest Best Picks, please click on the How does it work in C#? - Part 3 (C# Linq in detail)and it will take you to the article. In the article author is myself.
- Please see the very first sentence of the article "You have a new working version. Would you like to view or edit this new version?". From this sentence if you click on the view then it will take you to http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=14915&aid=383749[^], now if you look into the author it will be Jovan Popovic.
I am just wondering how does it possibly could happen. I just need someone's help.
And Finally, I notice now, the article is no longer belongs to me, it belongs to Jovan Popovic. And I lost all my points related to this article and etc....
?

I've fixed the author on the article. The HOW will need some digging into, but the initial evidence suggests that I am responsible

Thanks Sean. I am happy it is fixed now but I have lost at least 500-600 points
Just wondering, Is there anyway I can get back those. Thanks for your help Sean

Hmm. I can see all the points for that article living inside your reputation. The total should be updated almost immediately.

Honestly, I saw almost about 9000 points in the Author section
