Not sure this counts as a bug.

Can we have Q&A: Preview box size same as the 'Add your solution here' box (Width wise)?
Currently, even though we have space, we are not using it. Not to forget that the preview looks a little clustered/long compared to what finally post appears.

Use fixed layout instead of fluid. Then everything's narrow.

Hi Jovan,
We searched but unfortunately we weren't able to find anything. I am terribly sorry. Each new draft replaces the previous, and you should always be able to return back to it unless it is discarded or deleted.
Could you please let me know the workflow of how you were returning to that article? It would be helpful info we could use to consider how we might tweak the system so that events like this never occur again.
Currently, there isn't an entry in version history until the "Publish" button is hit. I recommend publishing an article while you're working on it in "Composing" status and keeping the article in that status while hitting "Publish" after each update you make until the article is ready to publish.
Thanks,

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.

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.
