Re: Broken article links should auto redirect or autosearch... Diamonddrake29-Dec-10 11:32 Diamonddrake 29-Dec-10 11:32  I don't see why it wouldn't be possible, Code Project appears to be written in asp.net, which can be configured to pass the offending url as a querystring to the 404 page. but that doesn't even need to be done because codeproject doesn't redirect on 404 (which is odd) the offending url stays (this is great because that's how I find the broken link article anyway) so all that would have to be done is parse the page url and use the search api that the site already uses. The big question here is, a site with 7 millions members (30,000 online at any given time all of which have some kind of interest in programming) doesn't do this already, or even why didn't it from conception. I'm not bashing code project, I love it here. I just think that this was overlooked, and should be rectified. Re: Broken article links should auto redirect or autosearch... Chris Maunder30-Dec-10 1:15 Chris Maunder 30-Dec-10 1:15  We have a few things in place for this: 1. If an article has been moved (and we have that move recorded - not always the case, unfortunately), or the URL is to the old location for articles before the move to ASP.NET, then the 404 handler usually finds the new location and sends you transparently to the new location 2. If it can't find the article then the 404 handler automatically searches to find either a direct filename match, or a close name match (best bets). It will display these on the page. 3. If none of these work then the search box is at the top-right of every page, so you can search directly from there. We currently have an issue with 3 of our older servers that are due for retirement in a couple of weeks. They are not redirecting properly (IIS6 issues), but the newer IIS 7.X servers work as they should. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Broken article links should auto redirect or autosearch... Diamonddrake30-Dec-10 8:27 Diamonddrake 30-Dec-10 8:27  I hear you. But at least once a day I hit a link and make my way here to a dead page that just says Page Not Found Unfortunately the page you requested was not found. But there is a search box on that page now, not too long ago it didn't have one, I just don't see why the it doesn't auto search when it falls through all those systems. Because it does often. Just a suggestion. Message title not showing up... Sandeep Mewara29-Dec-10 3:01 Sandeep Mewara 29-Dec-10 3:01  Have a look at the message posted by 'Trollslayer' for this article[^]. Since this is still not approved only admins/editors can see it. Definitely there is a message posted there[^] but the title is missing and thus one cannot open and see the content. Re: Message title not showing up... #realJSOP29-Dec-10 4:33 #realJSOP 29-Dec-10 4:33  +1 They show up briefly - sometimes - and then go away.

IE8, forgot to mention! Re: a good start jejensen29-Dec-10 6:45 jejensen 29-Dec-10 6:45  Not working in IE7 either. They were visible a few days ago however. Humm... Re: Message title not showing up... PIEBALDconsult29-Dec-10 15:03 PIEBALDconsult 29-Dec-10 15:03  They show in IE8 at home, not in IE7 at work. Re: Message title not showing up... #realJSOP30-Dec-10 3:05 #realJSOP 30-Dec-10 3:05  One thing - I can't respond to messages posted in my article if I can't click on them, and if the title doesn't show up, I can't click on them... I'm at work using IE7, and the message titles are not being displayed. At home, with FireFox, it's fine.

Q/A Page format Hosed Up [modified] #realJSOP29-Dec-10 1:55 #realJSOP 29-Dec-10 1:55  The content of the tabs seems to be right-aligned. Using IE7 on Vista... EDIT ========= Seems to have fixed itself. EDIT AGAIN =========== It's the "My Posts" section of Q/A, and problem appears to be a div that's malformed - sorry about the mixup.

I thought/assumed some recent CSS change maybe and so wanted to give it sometime Cntrl+F5 doesn't help once the page is distorted. After sometime, when I navigated to the same page again, it opened up correctly by itself. Re: Q/A Page format Hosed Up Chris Maunder1-Jan-11 14:42 Chris Maunder 1-Jan-11 14:42  Should be good now. Can I buy you a better browser please? Even IE8 is a big improvement... cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Pending Article Suggestion #realJSOP29-Dec-10 1:30 #realJSOP 29-Dec-10 1:30  It would be handy if we had a way to propose that an article be recategorized as a tip/trick, and if enough people do propose it, it automatically gets recategorized/moved as appropriate. The article's author should also get an email stating that the (initial) proposal has been made, and he should be given the opportunity to approve the change before its done for him by other users.

Re: Pending Article Suggestion Sandeep Mewara29-Dec-10 2:52 Sandeep Mewara 29-Dec-10 2:52  As much I remember, this was discussed earlier and there is a feature in TO-DO list to convert an article into a tip/trick. Re: Pending Article Suggestion Chris Maunder4-Jan-11 16:32 Chris Maunder 4-Jan-11 16:32  This could be accomplished by using the Report functionality. As soon as an item is reported it will no longer be available to be moderated. We could then review and convert it to an article, then send it back to the moderation queue as an article. Would that work? cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Emoticon Tooltips: not displaying in FF Slacker00729-Dec-10 1:12 Slacker007 29-Dec-10 1:12  Yes I'm nit-picking here but I can't control myself. The Tool-tips for the emoticons are not showing up in FF v3.6.13. Re: Emoticon Tooltips: not displaying in FF #realJSOP29-Dec-10 1:23 #realJSOP 29-Dec-10 1:23  Really? Works for me - when I hover over the icon above, I get the text "Confused" in a tootltip. Oh wait - I'm at work and I'm using IE...
