I'd been meaning to ask earlier but have clearly forgotten.
Is there any good reason why hovering over the download links for an article presents a false hint in the browser?
I.e - If I hover over a link and the bottom of my browser says: "http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista/vistathemebuttons/ButtonVE_demo.zip", then that's the resource I expect the link to point to. I should then be able to right-click and select "save-as" before nominating my own destination.
As it stands, I see 2 problems with the changed system (it was fine before the Workspaces experiment).
1) The hint is essentially a lie - the link doesn't point there at all. It points to a ~27kb webpage.
and far more of a problem
2) In order to place the file where I want it, I now have to download it, find it in my (default) download folder, cut it, navigate to where I wanted it in the first place and finally, paste it.
What's wrong with simply right-click, "save-as", locate desired destination, hit "save". ?

Two main reasons:
1. We have a lot of deep links into the site. We wanted to present downloads on a page that made it clear where the download was located (CodeProject) instead of having someone on another site write an article and link transparently to an author's code here. We're kinda protective of our authors.
2. We want to show the license that piece of code is licensed under as a reminder that users of code need to respect the terms the code's released under.

Fair enough.
I'd not even considered the first.
Thank-you.

When Chris was younger and used real programming tools, he may have been able to help you. Today the most advanced coding he involves himself in would probably be manually closing an HTML tag.

Closing HTML tags is what those uppity youngin's do. Waste of time! Garr - when I was a lad...
(So do I use my big shiny Nuke This Thread button or do I leave this to allow the mocking to continue? Decisions, decisions...)

You can allow users to edit the content with approval from the submitted user. I see lot of members just changing the UI styles or HTML tags of the article to get scores. It can be restricted. Because it will frustrate the actual user at one of point of time. and they might move the content to other sites from Codeproject.

Are you talking about articles?

Any examples?

Sometimes I dip into an article and change some tags around, but it's always because the article actually needs it. If you look at my rep, you'll see I don't actually need the points.

Using the article editor, is it possible to wrap a type name in a code element using a button or shortcut? Or does this still need to be done in the code editor?
Example: MyClass

On posts there is a var button. I think there is one on the article editor as well.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

There is a button with icon like this <V> - it has the same effect...

This message[^] has managed to break the layout of the Web Development[^] forum. It looks like an unclosed <pre> tag in the message is swallowing the closing </td>, </tr>, </tbody> and </table> tags.

I notice when you filter on the home page for 'web' or 'c++' or one of the others for 'latest articles' that it auto changes your selections in the 'interested' box on Quick Answers page. Is that as designed? Thank you.

That's by design.

I think, here is the minor issue we have here:
I can see many cases when our answers are indirectly removed, because the whole question page is removed due to some member's abuse reports. (Thanks to Chris to restoring one of such my answers for me; I started to preserve some interesting answers in my records.)
I don't even question those abuse reports. They are usually quite fair; and I report bad questions myself. I also agree that such questions should be removed and that the answers on the removed page disappear. This is fine, because those questions and answers may not have any value for all the readers. But those answers could be helpful just for one person, OP. Some questions are inconsistent, incomplete, illiterate, even off-topic, demonstrate wrong approaches; often, such questions are cannot be fully answered. But nevertheless, such advice or incomplete answer could really be useful for this only person, OP.
That's why I wonder if such removed answers can be accessible be OP of not. If not, I would suggest they would go to our messaging system. This way, only the OP along would be able to read the deleted answers, which would be quite enough in such cases.
