Little suggestion for Question in the Code project. It is better if we have a link to itself on question title.
When we want to refresh the page rather than hit F5 or reload from browser this option will be quite useful.
what do you think?

I can't say it has ever been a problem to hit F5 for me...I don't see what would be gained from this, myself.

Yes, there is no problem to hit F5. when we use mouse it is easy we can have link there on the top as title. questions and answers and comments are adding and updating but we can't see them until we refresh, Better if we have multiple way of doing it.

Googled above this and found some reference to add some value for this suggestion

Need a better error message

If you start replying to a message in the Lounge, and the thread is moved to the Soapbox, you get the error:

Items that need attention:

You do not have permission to perform this action

Which is really not very helpful.
I know it doesn't happen often, but a better message would help when it does. Laugh | :laugh:

Tip/Trick v Article confusion

This[^] is supposed to be a new version of a Tip/Trick, but the headings all say it's a new article. Bug??

It has not been approved yet.

It says "Tip/Trick" as far as I can see.

It does after it's been approved for public. Before that, I swear the first tab above the text said "Article".

Multi-language code block

I am currently writing an article which has both VB and C# code which does exactly the same.
I need to show lots of code examples and posting two code blocks for each example makes the article even longer than it already is.
Is it possible to do something like on MSDN where you have one code block with tabs [C#][C++][F#][VB][Insert language here]?
This is the second article I am writing this way and I haven't heard any complaints in the first article, but it would still be great Smile | :)

It doesn't need a bump, as they have implemented it already. Take a closer look at the resplies to the message that was linked to. Smile | :)

string reply = @"So you're saying I can already have tabbed code blocks?";

VB.NET

Dim reply As String = "That's so awesome!!!"

I don't think I'm getting it... Unsure | :~

See Call Functions Until One Meets Condition, which shows an example. Let me see if it works here (in the forums):

// Hello, world.

VB.NET

' Hello, world.

Nice tip, but what am I supposed to see?
I don't see tabbed code blocks and clicking on (C# Version) only changes the url of the page...

Oops, I must have linked to the alternate. Go to the main tip. The alternate's links no longer work because they were put in place in the old tip/trick system. In fact, I'll be deleting the alternate once a certain bug (unplanned feature) is fixed.

Oh, nice! Exactly what I need for my newest article[^]! Big Grin | :-D

Thanks for the tip!

Based on my above test, it works in tips, but not in the forums.

EDIT: Also, it doesn't work in the tips preview, but it does work when the tip is published.

In case of programming articles or other technical articles, there seems to be a intuitive need of an attachment function in the comments section, so that the author and user can interact better in a query-answer session.

This is a problem I faced when trying to solve a query on one of my articles and I had to give and take some code files through emails....so I wished an attachment system would be appealing and a nice feature to be. Afterall its the famous CODEPROJECT !!

Thanks and regards,
Robin

Yeah - we've gone back and forth on this one a lot. The possibility of abuse is very high given the noise level in the forums, so we've always been reluctant to take on that responsibility.

Maybe it's time...

Yes, a website and coding community like our CODEPROJECT needs to be growing and be full fledged with all basic and needed features.

Security measures are indeed the ones that had to be considered sincerely....but that should not come in the way of the growth of CODEPROJECT....

I hope to see such a feature coming through...

Thanks for considering that, Mr. Maunder,

Regards,
Robin

With the current community policing in place, I think the spam levels could be kept in check. May be it could be tested for a few days to see how it goes before it is made a permanent feature.

Under Zones, the word "The" is missing before "Sharepoint Zone".

Might I suggest dropping the "The" and sorting them alphabetically.

Might I also suggest moving "Whitepapers / Webcasts" under the separator bar since it looks lonely up there.
