It is very possible that the article could have already have been in the running for the monthly award competition. The article was posted in July 2008 and has an excellent rating. This alone should've qualified it to be voted on during the July competition. Maybe you are a tiny bit too late to voice your opinion of this fine article (as far as voting for the monthly competition). You can still show your appreciation in the articles' forum.

It's an amazing article (and is now an Editor's Choice!) but with so many amazing articles coming through it's hard to give them all enough of the spotlight. The 'Feature Article' box on the homepage grabs a random, very highly rated article and rotates frequently, but I'm certainly open to any other suggestions you can make.

In SQL.CodeProject, MySQL is separated as it's own forum. Would it be possible to have a similar forum for Oracle specific questions?
Most of the time people are asking SQL Server related questions in SQL and Database discussions, but there are plenty of times where the platform isn't obvious and has to be guessed. Also I believe, that it would be an area that would be a great benefit to this site as long as we can provide answers and knowlegde to Oracle specific questions.

I agree. A forum for Oracle would be cool. But, then on the other hand, people might start wanting a DB2 forum, Postgres forum, etc....

You're absolutely right. Look what happened when they put MySql as a separate discussion group on SQL.CodeProject, immediately someone wanted to separate the other products too 
No, but seriously. I agree that it could happen but then again wouldn't that be quite natural separation for database groups. Now there are only two groups: MySQL and SQL and Database discussions. Also I believe that those database specific forums could interest people who now are not necessarily CodeProjet members and perhaps raise even more good discussions.

Yes, it would be okay.

I had a post in the subtle bugs section. I started a thread. It was there for 2 days and all of a a sudden it disappeared. It was not a spam and I don't think there was anything abusive in it. It is really surprising.

Your thread disappeared? That's odd. Do you remember the title of the post?

The title was "Subtle or Silly whatever you call it".

I'm at a loss. I've asked around to see if anyone's finger slipped on the button with the skull-and-crossbones.

Maybe CodeProject has become self-aware and is optimizing its content without human intervention.

Not a bug, but I think we have a odd date & time set on that server. Also It is kind of static time or I dont understand the statement.

Sometimes funny things happen to time around here. Not as often as it used to  Some of Chris' hamsters like to warp the fabric of time/space behind his back

My article was here :
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/TA_INIDocument_cs.aspx[^]
but it was deleted a few hours ago by Sean Ewington.
Your editors checked my article, accepted it. It was voted 15 times (14 times excellent!) and its popularity was 5.36. And bookmarked 19 times! And all this happened in 5 days!
A few hours ago i opened the article page to check if there is a new post. And i met the screen of hell!
You did not send me any info mail or sth. else! And i want to learn the reason.

Your article is showing now. I suspect either a software or user (on the CP staff) glitch.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

Apologies Tolgahan. There was a mishap with our article submission wizard, and in the wake of this mishap a couple of articles were inadvertantly deleted. So sorry about that. Your article has been restored to have all the same votes, popularity and # of bookmarked.
