Could we have a checkbox to remove the blogs from the latest article list?

Working on that. We thought we'd done it for all listings and then realised we'd missed a bunch. Apologies for that.

So, last night, a load of my blog posts were picked up - but they weren't pulled through in their entirety. When I've been in and looked at them, they are all just partial extracts - see Fun with Fonts[^] for instance, and somebody has gone and voted them all 1 obviously thinking I've been taking the mick with the article submission wizard. Could we get the full blog text in so that people actually get to read the article?
Also - could I get the existing votes of 1 removed? It's hammered my average article rating, and I don't think this is entirely fair seeing I didn't post the articles like this.

We're seeing some inconsistencies (surprise!) between RSS feeds and are still working out the kinks. Sean and Thiru will be fixing things up today.

I can't praise Sean highly enough. He's a star - the speed he's fixed things is almost godlike.

This forum is being bolded to indicate new messages, but the "last visit" and "last week" views do not show any new messages. The former only shows the buglist, the latter a number of old messages.
I'm using FF 3.0.8 and my status is: Last Visit: 13:06 15 Apr '09 Last Update: 14:36 15 Apr '09

If this happens again would a copy of the HTML be of help?

Unfortunately not. Sounds like a caching or a DB issue.

Rats. Would reporting future instances be helpful?

Absolutely. I know this is going to be one of those "Shhh! I'm hunting wabbits!" kind of bugs.

Does the codeproject perform virus scanning on files uploaded to the site ? My anti-virus software (AVG) reported that a file in This[^] article contains a virus. Someone else already notified the author of a possible infection however, after downloading it again I see that my anti-virus still reports it as being infected. Specifically it is this link http://www.codeproject.com/KB/shell/OpenedFileFinder/OpenFileFinder_src_vc8.zip[^] and file within that archive is ListFileDrv.sys. Although I'm loath to ask anyone to download it to see if their anti-virus S.W. flags it as a virus, I'm wondering if there is anyway to verify that it is clean/safe or infected.

Good question.
We are in the middle of upgrading our current virus scanning software but a big problem we've found is that some downloads (less than a dozen out of over 30,000 downloads) are being marked as containing viruses because virus and malware writers themselves have used some of the code here. We've been working with those authors to have them tweak their code (or just repackage) so that it no longer sets of virus alerts.
FWIW that particular download isn't being flagged by my virus checker.

I think it would be good to put a "Checked for viruses" banner or some message on the front page, since that info isn't displayed anywhere else.
|

Any big banners like that make me more likely to be suspicious. Along the lines of "Methinks they doth protest too much".
Reminds me of the following blog post - it's about software awards, rather than flashy "virus checked!" gifs, but the points the same...

I have posted an article called File Searcher in C#[^] .
On April 8, I wanted to update the text and the source code of this article. So I wrote an email to submit@codeproject.com. The email had the subject "File Searcher in C# - Please update". It contained 2 attachments: "ViewHtml.aspx.htm" (an updated version of the html text) and "FileSearcher.zip" (the new source code). The email also contained the name of the article and its URL in the email body.
- But the article still has not been updated! What did I do wrong?

You didn't wait long enough 
Give the CP staff a bit more time, I'm sure they have dozens (if not hundreds) of mails to go over.
I'd say 10 work days and then get worried

I'll check in with Sean and get a status update. Sean and his team are usually very quick about update so it may be the case of a lost email. Or possibly too much Easter chocolate.

The big green text that appears at the top of the forums (ie: "Welcome to the Lounge", "C#", "Silverlight", "The Soapbox 2.0" etc), could these be made into links that jump to the first page of that forum?
print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text
Ain't that Groovy?

The 'Refresh' link and the 'First' link in the forum itself aren't enough? Not sure what it would add.
I can do it, but to keep the style looking good I'd be breaking convention by keeping the link colour of the header as green, not blue, so the headers won't stand out as links.

How about I throw in a Mars Bar, a Twix, a Double Decker and your choice of beverage from the vending machine? Does that help you see things my way?

A nice thing I saw recently was on Amazon. On the books page[^] when you mouse-over the Amazon logo in the top left it turns into a button. I can't put my finger on the whys and wherefores, but it just feels "right".

An idea could be to make the navigation map (whatever this is called) under the green title be a link to the first page.
What I mean is: In this forum for instance, under the green Site Bugs / Suggestion, you have the navigation location:
Home > Forums > Site Bugs / Suggestions
The string "Site Bugs / Suggestions" is a static string. Turn that into a link to the forum first page.
