Hello,
Is it possiable to add another section for "R Succinctly, which will introduce you to R, a powerful programming language for statistical work.
So, far I believe it will help us a lot very soon.

As soon as we get enough R articles, certainly. I can find 3 so far, but I'm sure there are more. I'll ask Sean.
cheers

Good catch. I think it was reported recently.

More info that may help you identify the problem faster. This has happened 2 times now, where an article has failed to make it to the RSS feed. On both occasions, the article also failed to appear on the front page. Example, this was posted about an hour or so ago :
7 reasons C++ devs will love the VS 14 CTP[^]
Articles posted before that, and those posted after that have shown up on the front page. So something causes the front page listing as well as the RSS feed to skip this article. I remember the same thing happening with the other article in the past.
Times like this I wish your code was open (like Stack Overflow). The community could have helped debug these sorts of things that are bugs that are frustrating for authors, but are not high priority enough for your full time staff to work on.

I figured it out. It's still a bug but one with a workaround. If you use tags that are not in your existing list, then the article won't show up there. Example, my tags were C++11 and C++14, but I did not have VC++ or C++. Once I added those, the article now shows in the RSS feed. Just to be safe I also added dev, architect etc. but I don't think that affected anything. Just FYI.

Hello,
The source code of my article Asynchronous Tasks using AsyncTask[^] is corrupted. It was working fine, since many people have downloaded it and not complained. However, yesterday someone posted a problem which indeed is the result of a corrupted file.
Could you please check this out because I am having trouble finding the original source code, since the article is a bit old?
Thank you,
Regards,
Eduardo

Apologies, I think something is amiss with the file. Would you mind emailing me the full code in a .rar, or renamed .zip (ie .notzip) file?
Thanks,

Hello Sean,
I'll check if I have the source code at home. If I don't, I'll rewrite it  .
Anyway, thanks for the help>

The links in QA can not be followed, because of the position attached to the link...
http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/800114/How-do-I-connect-to-a-SQL-Server-Database-using-Vi?arn=1
That arn=1 parameter prevents from browsers to sign the link as visited when the position of the question changes in the list, which happens every minute. It's very annoying...can it be removed?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I'm not sure what the cause is, but some results (at least one anyway) don't take you to the correct post, you just get the first page of the forum.
To reproduce search The Lounge for 'chair', the 4th result "Re: Office chairs by GibbleCH" just takes you to the first page of the forum.

Could you please identify your Browser and version along with OS and Version.
With IE11/Win7 the link is scrolling to the correct message, but we may have missed something of other browsers.

It seems it works in Thread View, but not other views.
|
|
|
|
|
I take that back. It is now working for all views. Something strange is going on here.

|
|
Yup, working for me now. Must be one of those Heisenbugs.

Matthew Dennis was kind enough to point out to me that the Search Box at the start of the Comments section of a CP article actually does search the comments. A feature I have been approximating through painful yogic search contortions as described in excruciating detail in my recent post "Suggestion to improve" here.
However, the title of that Search Box is "Search this Forum;" which led me to believe that it was simply a duplicate of the standard search box found at the top of the article. How many other poor souls have never tried that search box, never dreamed it would do something quite useful, because they took its title literally ?
Please, re-name that Search Box something like "Search Comments."
Now, excuse me while I go lick the running sores produced by coming down with a major case of chagrin

It's a semantics issue.
Am I correct in thinking that when you see the word "Forum" you mean "this site"?
"Forum", for us, means specifically a discussion forums. Comments are another thing entirely: they are comments attached to something (eg a comment attached to a question or answer in Quick Answers, but they were also attached to things like Tasks and other objects). So "Search comments" doesn't make sense in terms of a discussion forum because they discussion forum contains discussions, not just comments (An initial post may be commentary, but I wouldn't in general class it as a comment since it could be a news item, question, joke, rant or monologue).
"Search Threads" is possible, but technically a thread is a collection of messages in a single conversation (give or take some bifurcation).
How about: "Search this Discussion Board"?
cheers

Hi Chris, yes, I am being semantic To me, the word "forum" means an entire section of CP. The name of that Search Box, imho, should reflect what it does: it searches the comments on an article. Clearly it's a specialized search function.
You don't need to search the article from that CP search box because, after all, you have your browser's search facility at hand to search the current web page.
To me, "Search Comments," with the implicit meaning "on this article" is crystal clear.
imho the current search box name is confusing, and I bet a lot of other people, like me, do not realize what it does ... which is quite useful.
cheers, Bill

So for articles, "Search Comments" is actually a good prompt (even though, technically, you're searching Messages, not Comments - two completely different objects in our codebase). I'd like to have consistent wording though.
Would "Search within Messages" be OK?
cheers

How about "Search for stuff herein".
