You can close it yourself:
Look in the top right of this page, and hover the mouse over your username.From the menu that appears, select "My Settings".(Or follow this link:https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Modify.aspx[^] )
The settings page is organised into tabs: pick the "Account" tab.On the right side of the page, under your avatar picture (if any) there is a checkbox "Close my account"Check this, and a dialog will appear: "Are you sure? Once you deactivate your account you will lose access to your posts, articles and data." Select "OK".Make sure "I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for this site" is also checked, and press the "Save my Settings" button.Your account is gone.Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I noticed that a while ago. Thought it was a permission issue for me or something.

I have a draft version of an article and I don't want to preserve that draft. I want it so that the next time I click "Update Article", it gives me the most recent published version, not the draft. Yet clicking "Revert to last published version", while it does give me back the published version on the main page, doesn't seem to work when I opt to update again--then it gives me the draft version that I don't want. How do I discard the draft version so that the next update gives me the published version?! There seems to be no "Discard Draft" option.
PS. The offline version of the CodeProject Article Editor (which hasn't been updated in 5 years!) isn't very reliable: 1) The editing behavior itself is highly erratic, particularly when turning on an off bulletting/numbering ; 2) whenever one attempts to log in, numerous "scripting errors" occur; and 3) if one tries to "cut and paste" text between the offline editor and the online one, the article looks different in each--with formatting errors and even text being mis-arranged. Just thought you should know.

There's a "Revert to last published version" button at the bottom right of the submission wizard that may help.

If you read my above question, then you'll know that that doesn't quite work like one would think it would. "Revert" only reverts the text for the "main page" of an article; the text on the "edit page" still has the working draft--presumably meaning that any further edits published would derive from the draft. I want the version that pops up when I click "update" to be identical to the version on the main page. (Seriously, does anybody READ the entire text of a question?) PLEASE HELP ME!

Yeah I did.

Revert to last published version should remove all drafts that have been created since the last published version (the version on the "main page" as you put it. This should then mean that the editor will be loaded up with the latest "main page" version. From that point on you'll be creating new drafts based off the latest published version.
If it's not doing that then we have a bug. I'll do some testing tomorrow.
If that's not what you want or I still haven't understood, then please let me know what I'm missing.

I fixed it myself. I had to re-edit the working draft in order to make it look like it should, then publish that. I guess some things have to be done by hand!
|
|

|

OK - that's great that you got it to where you wanted it to be.
However: did you try using the revert button?
cheers
Chris Maunder
|
|

Yes, I did--as I said in my initial question. The problem was that "revert" alone didn't undo the changes to the draft like I thought it would. (Seriously, does anybody read the "fine print" of a question, as opposed to just the title question?) Anyway, it's a moot point now.
|
|

|

It's not a moot point. The revert process isn't doing what it should be doing so I'll dig in and get it sorted out.

It's a bit chicken and egg (and, truth be told, redundant).
If we had a nice neat way of telling if someone was in an area that had daylight savings based on their IP address than we'd have most of the problem solved. For that we need a really good IP to location lookup (we have an OK, but not perfect, one), and then a lookup that mapped the location to whether they observed daylight savings. Plus we'd need to constantly update this because it constantly changes.
If we had that then we wouldn't need that checkbox at all.
Now: the question that should be asked is "why have that checkbox"? The reason is so we can adjust times stored on our servers into local times for you. For that what we need is a GMT offset, and for that we should be (and soon will be) using a simple bit of javascript to sniff your local time settings directly. No DST checks or maps or IP lookup needed.

Yay! Because the current scheme has its idiosyncracies, to put it politely.

Any article that I have published I was facing last night,right now not on desktop will check today sometime if still occurring

It looks like some database maintenance was killing perf at the time you were trying. I've added a task to reduce the load on the system due to the maintenance.
