Would you ask MacDonalds to change the big M?

of course, I just finished the design of a big MD (not House!). It is very stylish, with beautiful green and yellow colors; I am still determining the right price for it.
BTW: I never understood how one capital could be sufficient (cfr. Texas Instruments, General Electric, Baskin-Robbins, and many more).

Hello everybody,
I don't know if this is the right place to post this "complaint".
I've added some tip/trick on code project and got the content silently "screwed" up by some high ranked editors of the code project.
Screwed up means: highlighting got silently removed. If some code is highlighted, this has a meaning - maybe the text refers to it. The editor is in my eyes not supposed to change any content - highlighting is content relevant! If I choose to have black background and white text color, than this was done on purpose to give the impression of a shell output...! (You see - I'm quite upset - I thy to hold back...)
I'm tempted to revert the messed up version. But in the long run, I'd like no one to *silently* change the tip/trick.
I mean, I'm ok with suggestions to change or to fix some pure formatting or obvious typos. But everything other than that is a *no-go* for me.
How to proceed?
I'll revert/restore the old state, but how to avoid the tip scewed up again?
If you need details I can provide them, but I'd like to know how I/you could prevent this in the future?
Here one article that got screwed up:
Unfortuantely, this is not the only tip that got modified in a for me non-acceptable way.
Thanks
Andi

Hello Richard,
I saw that but how to contact her? I can not drop a comment on her member page.

You could try finding one of her messages (click on the messages link on her home page) and reply to it. Alternatively if you post the question in the "Article Writing" forum it will get seen by the editor team.

Hi Andi,
I apologise for this happening. I will talk to Smitha and see what the issue was. I'm sure the changes were inadvertent, bit I'll ask her to ensure changes like this do not happen again.
In the meantime do you want me to revert your tip?

Hello Chris,
thanks for your feedback. Yes, please revert to revision 4 (see revision list).
Thank you for your quick help. And: this is not meant to blame Smitha! I appreciate very much that people take the time to edit all the articles and tips that are posted - a big thank you to everyone!
Cheers
Andi
PS: In that tip, you might have a look at your new countstart="93" attribute in use!

Hello Andreas
While removing some superfluous SPAN tags from the HTML, I seem to have inadvertently removed the SPAN class=highlight tags as well by mistake. I will fix this right away.
Truly sorry about this.

Not a serious problem, it just looks silly!
I accidentally viewed a spammers re graph when I reported him, and the date labels were all the same:
Feb2012 Feb2012 Feb2012...

You are obviously feeling back to normal! Glad to see it, as well.

There is no place to enter article title, etc. And it says "Beta". Just sent a screen shot to submit@codeproject.com.
P.S. I was using IE 7 (did I just break it for using IE 7?)

Looks like IE7 doesn't support the multi-file script we have in place.

Yes, it does work in IE8. Thanks.

I just noticed this today, as it caused a little embarrassment.
I was in the SoapBox and responded to a post, then continued reading other threads. After I read a few I left my browser open. A few minutes later my boss walked by and saw that my opened window in Chrome was titled "The Tattooed Bottom" even though that thread was not open at the time. Embarrassment ensued.
