Agreed: I don't think it should be possible to remove any question with an answer, even if you wrote the original question. Happened to me three times yesterday: the OP deleted the question when he had his answer.

I just said it's a popular way to do it. Not saying it's the best way or that any other way would be wrong.

I noticed that the "Add an answer" box is labeled differently if you go back and look at your questions. It reads "Add your solution here. That's MUCH better, but see my new mesage in this forum.

I was about to agree with you because that's the way I've been doing it, but then I decided to go back to one of my questions, add an answer, and then see if I could "accept" the answer. Imaging my surprise when I found a place to "Add your solution here:" (where the Add an answer" box usually is).
I'm not surprised that you haven't seen that because I don't think you've asked any questions in the Q/A section.

So what does it do? Posts an answer, but marked clearly as coming from the OP? Or is it just a wording change that posts a regular answer?

Dear Sir/Madam,
Please explain why have you deleted my article "SQLServerTipsGuidelines" from CodeProject site?

You should have received email from a Codeproject admin. Did you check your spam folder? Did you check your settings to verify you have entered the correct email address?
If you haven't received email, you can email them directly at submit@codeproject.com.

If it was a Tip/Trick, and it was not deleted by a staff editor, I don't think he will get an email for it. I am not 100% sure of this but it seems anyone with enough reputation can delete a Tip/Trick.

I thought this was going to be changed? I might be wrong about this. Anyway, I thought the OP was talking about an article.

You are right. Google cache shows that it was an article and one that was fairly decently rated. 4.26 from 16 votes. I wonder why it was deleted!

Nope, you are not wrong. I don't see even high rep people having an access to delete Tip/Tricks. Just verified, if I can or cannot. Further, I remember, some thread where it was confirmed that nuking some person or deleting/removing an article/blog/tip-trick would be handled by CP staff and even high-rep people would not be given such powers. One can surely report if needed, which we all can do irrespective of rep-power.

OK, that's what I thought.
I just hope OP gets an answer. It troubles me that someone would take the time to submit an article, and then have it removed without notification. That's even worse than the downvoting I hate.
As I recall, people have complained about this before, but there was always an email in the spam folder that had been overlooked.

Hi Irfan,
The article is not deleted, it's in composing status. We sent an e-mail to you recommending that it would fit better as a Tips & Tricks post, gave you instructions on how to post it there, and offered to post it for you. It seems that e-mail went astray
I would still be happy to post your submission in your Tips & Tricks if you were agreeable to that idea
Thanks,

He would lose his votes, views, and comments, wouldn't he? Unless the site now supports a convert-article-to-tip option.

If someone's submission fits better as a Tips & Tricks post than an article, the comments and votes are typically unkind.
Perhaps when the "convert to tip" becomes available the views can carry over. I'll suggest it

Yeah but this one was rated quite high (based on Google cache). Also it was not that small either. There are smaller articles on this site. But yeah, people can be pretty asinine when it comes to commenting on other people's articles, so I get what you mean

It seems he has two accounts. We'd better start over
Yes, every time an article is deleted an e-mail should be sent. It is possible he didn't get that e-mail
Moving forward, we'll make it a policy for editors to enter a note as to why an article was deleted, if that article has been around awhile (like this one)
Also, the article is restored, I don't see what was wrong with it
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Exactly what I was thinking yesterday. Whoever deleted it made a mistake!
Thanks for restoring it, Sean.

Sean has restored it now. All's good

The main home page of CodeProject doesn't seem to be working.
I have tried F5 and CTRL-F5 just in case but to no avail. I noticed it yesterday when the Lounge Latest List wasn't updating when new posts where submitted. Left it over night, but it is still the same this morning.

Working fine for me

Strange.........
In the Article List, the top of the shop is;
A Type Safe generic Pointer, Update 2 Hrs Ago
it was actually the first article updated on 20th Feb.
In the Lounge list, top item is;
A scene from wizard the oz
Thats from Ages ago.......
And my filter list is set for all topics.

Hmm - mine is worse!
Articles:
nHydrate ADO.NET Generator 7 hrs ago (new) by Christopher R Davis
Resource file to JavaScript object 10 hrs ago (new) by Adel Kamel
fastJSON 19 hrs ago (new) by Mehdi Gholam
The Lounge list is the same.
I assumed mine was working because the latest survey is both there and updating.
