Thank you, and thanks to all the folks who help those of us in the slow group.

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm not sure you did anything wrong, I suspect the server did. I have now fixed the images (and I did a little formatting too).

Thank you. Easy to see why the articles all look professional, with you folks on the prowl.

So far 7 moderators have reviewed your article. Three said it was "unclear or incomplete", and four think it should be a tip, not an article. I was in the first group: I know nothing about what you're discussing, so an introductory paragraph defining "cross-entropy loss" would be helpful. Perhaps the other moderators are familiar with the term but think the article is too sketchy, or something that anyone with knowledge of the area could write.

I have checked and think that it is way too specific to be posted without any explanation about what are you talking about or at least a link to somewhere where it is explained correctly.

I didn't approve or report it, but if, I would go for unclear, since it doesn't explain it in a way I can minimally understand it without any other external help.

I get the above message when I try to update my article. Ideas?

I had this happen on another article, after a week it allowed me to post the update, nothing had changed.

Usually when this happens it's a temporary server issue. Sometimes re-opening the article (making sure to save your changes elsewhere offline) helps.

Is this a particular article you're trying to publish? Perhaps I might try.

Over a day later and it still doesn't not work. The article is published, but there is a serious bug in the code which will annoy users. I was able to add a comment with the fix, but not update the article with a new ZIP file. The ZIP is less than 100 Kb so is fine sizewise.

Something very strange is going on with this article. I've asked the dev team to look into it.

Hi Sean. Any joy? It still refuses to allow me to update the article. Essentially it's just a new zip file and a release version note.

How to get tabs with code blocks ? Solved

The dev team is hoping to tackle it today. In the meantime, could you please email me the new zip file? sean@codeproject.com (or perhaps provide a download link to it?)

I was sure that when making 2 code blocks (<pre>) in different languages, they were fused and showing tabs with languages names.
like:

HTML

<pre lang="c++">my C++ code</pre>
<pre lang="java">my Java code</pre>

What did I missed ?

I see 2 blocks 1 after the other (separated), no tabs.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant by tabs in this context.
