Guys and girls. Do you have a list of API's that you have publicly available for consumption?

Well.... I did find an article with a comment by Chris that there were some API's available. That's why I posted this.

NSA posting censorship?

I have been trying to reply to this question[^] and every time I hit submit it would say there was a problem and to try again later. I tried various permutions, quadruple checked my syntax etc., no luck.

Then I removed the line Most people are more concerned that people find out what vibrator, blow-up doll, ammunition, prescription drugs, adult diapers, books, movies, tampons, and _____ they are putting in their cart than they are about someone finding out their credit card number. The former could cost them their career or spouse, the latter is usually capped at fifty bucks. and it worked.

Once it was posted I could edit my submission and re-add this sentence. Confused | :confused:

Evidently psychographic profiling indicates that a person posting exactly that phrase is more likely to commit heinous crimes so we had to put the filter in. Obviously you've found a devious way to get around it...

When a solution is deleted the points are not removed (user gets to keep the points for answering the question), not sure if that is by design or an oversight...

Good question. When I posted my first answers, then after removing an answer, the points were nullified. But then, there came an update in November 2012, that changed the voting system of the message boards for example, and after this update, removing answers doesn't nullify points anymore (but I don't know whether it is a bug or by design).

Posting XML in a solution removes capitalization

Ron Beyer26-Nov-13 12:55

valid HTML in <pre> has strange effect.

See scrollviewer automatically when the page load[^].

The xaml was copy/pasted from VS with all the proper capitalization. It displayed properly in the preview pane but after submitting the solution all capitalization is lost.

I tried to use this code in my article:

<pre lang="cs">void Number()
{
<div style="font-size: small;">  int la0, la1;
  bool dot = false;
  la0 = LA0;
  if (la0 == '.') {
    Skip();
    dot = true;
  }
  MatchRange('0', '9');
  for (;;) {
    la0 = LA0;
    if (la0 &gt;= '0' &amp;&amp; la0 &lt;= '9')
      Skip();
    else
      break;
  }</div>
  <strong>la0 = LA0;
  if (la0 == '.') {
    if (!dot) {
      la1 = LA(1);
      if (la1 &gt;= '0' &amp;&amp; la1 &lt;= '9') {
        Skip();
        Skip();
        for (;;) {
          la0 = LA0;
          if (la0 &gt;= '0' &amp;&amp; la0 &lt;= '9')
            Skip();
          else
            break;
        }
      }
    }
  }</strong>
}

It seems that something in CodeProject tries to encode the HTML (not what I wanted), but also inside the <strong> element, something weird happens. Maybe it happens in comment boxes too, so I'll demonstrate:

void Number()
{
<div style="font-size: small;">  int la0, la1;
  bool dot = false;
  la0 = LA0;
  if (la0 == '.') {
    Skip();
    dot = true;
  }
  MatchRange('0', '9');
  for (;;) {
    la0 = LA0;
    if (la0 >= '0' && la0 <= '9')
      Skip();
    else
      break;
  }</div>
  la0 = LA0;
  if (la0 == '.') {
    if (!dot) {
      la1 = LA(1);
      if (la1 >= '0' && la1 <= '9') {
        Skip();
        Skip();
        for (;;) {
          la0 = LA0;
          if (la0 >= '0' && la0 <= '9')
            Skip();
          else
            break;
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Yup, the glitch is happening in the comment preview too. Hint: this text is not bold.

i think it because there is not any pre-define format for "cs" is available.

Check it and go through it.

If the author edits the article then the approval count gets reset to zero and the article goes back on the pending queue.
