this article[^] has a code block going over the right border - I tried to fix it real quick, but no luck. Anyone else want to try?
Thanks to Richard, the problem is fixed.

I don't have access to edit it, but there's a width="528" attribute on the 5th code block (starting If last20pos.Count >= 20 Then) which is causing the problem.

Beginner's Guide to HTML5 & CSS3 Article Competition[^]Quote: To ensure your article is judged, make sure to submit it in the "HTML5/CSS3 Article Contest" subsection within the HTML / CSS section.
If you click the link "HTML5/CSS3 Article Contest", it will show you the Article Submission Page with "HTML/CSS" selected on Section DropDownList, but it does not list the "HTML5/CSS3 Article Contest" in Subsection DropDownList.
However, if I select any other Section and then again select the "HTML/CSS" Section, it lists the "HTML5/CSS3 Article Contest" inside Subsection DropDownList.

I had to reupload the example project (in ZIP package) for the article Custom Controls in Win32 API: Control Customization[^] as it was corrupted as reported by Taulie in article's comment.
However even the new one has some problems:
(1) It differs from what I was uploading (MD5 of downloaded file is diffeent from original).
(2) User yafan in article's discussion has problems to unpack it.
(3) When tried to doanload on Mac OS X, unzip on it gets this output:
$ unzip customdraw.zip

This makes me think that the zip is broken but some zip implementations can still deal with the ZIP archive and some cannot. Can you take a look on the problem? As an workaround, can I somehow upload a ZIP without having it modified by the site to avoid such issues?
Thanks,
Martin

We've been fighting zip issues for a couple of days - which I have to say was the last thing I thought we'd ever have issues with.
We've fixed two things so far:
1. After uploading zips, the zips were getting recreated. This no longer happens.
2. We've dropped ShardCompress and are using the .NET 4.5 Zip classes for times when we do need to recreat the zip (eg due to a Git commit to the backing ::Workspaces repository for the article)
These changes were released yesterday around 3PM Toronto time, so if you updated your article before then you may have come across those two issues. If you try re-uploading, and it's still happening, please let me know.
cheers

It's what SharpCompress turns into if you accidentally drop it on the floor.
Hmm - maybe that's the problem...

I recently published the technical blog post. Then I wanted to fix some misprints and image links. I didn't change type of post. Once I submitted the post for approval, the type of post was changed to Article. I tried to resubmit the post and manually chose Technical Blog type. No luck.
What should I do to update the post with correct type?
Thank you.

All fixed. You just needed to ensure the "Article Source URL" was set as the location of your blog, otherwise the editor thinks it's a directly submitted article instead of a blog entry sourced from your site.

Hi,
I am new to CodeProject and started writing article from last 2-3 months, I recently publish one article for approval, the moderator says some of its contains are copied from Microsoft , I removed those content and published again but today I found my account is deleted, because moderator still find something which is copied from MS. I mentioned in blog that this specific content is from Microsoft site and i provided link also on same content as a credit to Microsoft.
I got a mail "Your account at CodeProject has been reported as The member is being abusive or is a troll 4 times and is now deactivated."
Now neither i can log in my account nor i can ask for any help or give clarification. I never used any abusive language or intent to troll the web site.
Looking at some discussion on forum I found that copying MSDN content is also offensive. My intention was not copying content but provide info on what classes used in my article. My actual blog is completely related to some other functionality.
Still lesson learnt so is there any way I can get my account back ? No idea my account is deleted or deactivated and is there any chance to get it back ?
My account name was RohitDotNet and Id was rohitandrohit@yahoo.com
Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Thanks
Rohit

Sadly there are a few members on here who would obviously have been better employed as Traffic Wardens but for some reason chose a career in Software instead. They lead sad little lives but the 'power' that they gain from being able to remove peoples accounts for the slightest of reasons, gets them aroused a little and now some have got addicted.
The addition of the Spam and Abuse forum has only intensified this problem and some members actually spend hours looking for people to boot off this site.
It looks like you tried to do everything you could to appease the moderators misgivings, but it was to no avail as they had the taste of blood in their mouth and they couldn't wait to go running over to the Spam forum to report you to the other like-minded Traffic Wardens (they were probably happy you didn't remove the MSDN stuff as they enjoy booting people off).
It really is a shame because the report member function would work really well if members implemented it as Chris intended, i.e to ban members who Spam or are abusive (this is the only criteria set-out in the sticky at the top of the forum). However the Traffic Wardens have slowly extended this to mean plagarism or anybody that posts something they don't agree with.
People have been abusing the report thing so much that Chris has had to up the number of reports needed to boot an account. A sure indication that it is not being used as intended. And the saddest thing is that it is some of the most senior members who are doing this.
