Hi,
I don't know if the owner will edit it soon, but I guess you can check the first version to see what I mean.
In this tip[^] it seems that the writer has forgoten to close some formating html-tags and is messing up the layup of the "non-editable" area (member's biography / description, message board...)
I have seen that in the QA, when you paste some code the editorr automatically close the tags, sometimes even when they are not html tags (for example: array <int> gets an auto </int> or <script> gets an auto </script> at the very end of the message.
Is the same feature in the articles wizard? If not I think it would be a good idea to make the same to avoid what is happening here.
[edit]it seems that the tip is plagiarised, so it might be not so long there to be checked[/edit]

"Duplicate"
For when somebody submits the same article twice...

Good idea, but I suspect that "Duplicate from the same Author" would be more appropriate. I can see the "We already have MVC articles"-discussion coming otherwise.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

I agree! Didn't think that far...
I was of course talking about (more or less) IDENTICAL articles (yes, from the same author) - not merely articles from different authors on the same subject.

I gotcha - But I know (from experience) that there are people who think too much in the wrong direction

Dear admin,
It will be very useful to add a chat panel for the beginners and other developers who can directly ask the doubts to the experts, which will be useful to all instead of posting questions.
|
|
|
|
|
Chat will be useful only for the one who is asking something,not for everyone because questions you post will be available for years which will help others when they have same issues. This is not possible when we consider the chat.

Yea thats true but sometimes the user need the urgent reply, but on posting the question his time will be wasted. Chat is an alternate way to get answers faster and easier.
|
|

|

So, are you prepared to pay for this service? The reason there's a delay can be as simple as the expert who knows the answer is not online at that time, we are all volunteers and have other commitments. Plus, a chat system tends to put you in touch with the first available operator, which is fine for things where there are a small number of answers, but for something as vast as programming, this is totally useless.

Fortunately, using the "trick" that ProgramFox disclosed here: [^], I was able to recover the post, and re-post it on a previous question by the same person: [^].
I do not object to QA posts being removed for cause in principle. In practice, I do think that at times QA posts are removed too quickly.
I do think an issue worth considering is: what if a post that is down-voted heavily has replies to it that are possibly technically valuable to other QA users in the future ?
Suggestion: once a post is removed, and someone who posted a solution clicks on the link to their "disappeared" solution: re-direct them to the hidden version link that ProgramFox showed how to access.
