A friend is having some trouble with recovering his password.
The email address is correct (he gets the newsletters) but the
captcha image verification seems to fail no matter what he puts in.
I tried this with my own account and the verification fails for me
as well. Any advice?

It seems that sometimes a server (or your current session) gets a little messed up. Just wait a little and try again and it should be fine. I know - annoying answer but I've had no luck trying to replicate the issue since it's so rare.
Actually - let me send you your password for you.

Is it possible to add a sort by article search so you can order by date, name , author, rank and anything else?
Thanks
|
|
|

Our search is specifically a "relevancy" search so ordering by these things within the search doesn't always make sense. An article can be vaguely, tenuously related to the search term, but brand new, and so will appear first. That's not really helpful.
The Latest list[^] and Most popular[^] lists may help.

Hi Chris,
I am in favor of a search and list system where the same criteria that can be used for selection also can be used for sorting (conceptually similar to a table that can sort on every column).
Relevancy is great when looking for information about some subject (e.g. I want to learn about WPF), less so when looking for a specific item (the highly-specialized WPF article I read a few days ago of which I think I remember the publication month/the author/...). Having the results ordered by such criteria would ease scanning the search results.
AFAIK the easiest one to offer would be "ordered by recency".

What your saying is true but take for example I want to look up XNA and for the more recent stuff that is for VS2008 and XNA 3.0 ( I think, I'm still new to XNA and want to explore and look at it for fun hence why trying to find an article on it). Searching for XNA the results bring up from 2007 and for XNA 1. If I could then order by date I can find the most recent stuff and hopefully it will apply to 3.0 and VS2008.

Sorry if this seems like a noob question. If you submit a blog post entry and then try and modify it, you are not able to upload zip files to accompany the article (at least not that I can tell). Is this by design?
Thanks

It is by design at the moment. Allowing zips and images for Technical blog entries to be hosted on CodeProject is something we debated internally, with the thought being that these items will already be hosted elsewhere.
However, if it's something that you feel is needed then we'll do it.

Thanks Chris. Sacha was commenting on my entry that the code should be hosted here and I just couldn't see a way to do that. No worries.

We'll add uploading of files for blogs. It's turning out to be slightly (and surprisingly and annoyingly) tricky, but give us a day or so.

 Of course.... As you said the files are hosted elsewhere already so personally I wouldn't bother.
But thanks Chris!

How long has this been around?
This message is very long. Long messages increase download times for those with slow connections. Are you sure you want to post a message this long?

Odd. I thought I'd been more long winded than that before, but don't recall seeing it before.

Dear friends of CodeProject staff,
I have a question about article competition and about prize assignments.
In march I published the DataGridView Filter Popup[^] article which received good responses from other CodeProject users.
The latest newsletter announces the winners of march. I agree with the choice of the Perceptor: An artificially intelligent guided navigation system for WPF[^] article as best overall article, but I don't agree with the choice of the Multi Remote Desktop Client .NET[^] as the best c# article.
Of course I always appreciate who share something with others but I think that the proposed code is substantially a wapper around a preexisting activex control and that the article content is very laconic.
I am quite disappointed and I would know which are the rules applied in designating the "best" article. I just realized that the rating and popularity indicators don't matter. Nor it doesn't matter if the article proposes an original solution and if it contains a comprehensive explanation.
I share my code because I like to think I've done something useful to others and to learn from others. I think everyone is encouraged to do more and better when he or she receives positive feedbacks. The others appreciations is fundamental and a prize is a kind of formal appreciation about the done work.
Considering that every competition provides its rules, I don't understand why you don't make public your rules.
Morever, I don't understand why you don't write the reasons that brought to award an article.
Thank you very much
V.R.

Winners are chosen by the readers, not by us. I've updated the rules on the Monthly comp page[^] to make this clearer (they should appear in half an hour or so)

I agree with you, Vincenzo; competitions rule is not clear. Also, you know that with a server at hands, you can receive messages that you are not permitted to see a public page, you can have postings mixed in any way against you, and many more; also, sometimes claiming for being a winner and writing about a programmer's difficult life might lead to win a competition with a non technical article.
