We're like a fine wine. We got better with age. I'd rather mature like a fine wine than be a mature fine whiner.

Sure thing, Chris. Point us all to an example of your PNGs on the web. We'll view source and see what your circles, or rectangles, or polylines are made of.

Chris is talking about the fact that Macromedia Fireworks (long before Adobe ruined it) allowed you to store vector imagery inside PNGs. Fireworks was a vector editor that used PNGs as its native file format - and these would render straight to the web. Honestly, you are coming across as a petulant child here, trying to show up teacher. Perhaps, if you hung the attitude up for a bit, you would have seen that Chris was trying to help you. Now you're just coming across as a troll.

I think the point was not about what a vector image is or not. I think the point was about "powerpoint" as vector image editor.

Strangely, all further replies to this message seem to be blocked. I said:

Hi,
I published an article, and posted also its relative code. Someone said that this code was not readable. I downloaded the .zip file, corrected the wrong files, removed the old file from article, and uploaded the new one.
He says that this file still not readable. It could be because the uploaded files are to be moderated? I saw that in revision page the last revision is published two hours after my publication. But the post where Michael_Davies says is unreadable is wrote after four hours.
You can see that at this discussion.
I see the time wasn’t in my time-zone. Wich one is used? I’d like to know if he download after or before the pulication...
Thank you

I can see that the only two files in there are dated today, which means they were uploaded today. Are the files you uploaded today the correct files?
Thanks,

Yes, I changed only two files. The problem was about a not perfect compatibility between VS2012 and VS2010. The first one runs the Team Foundation engine only if marked in .sln file. The second one crashed because in .sln file wasn't marked but there was a reference in .vbproj file.
I opened the solution with VS2010 and saved again. Now all works perfectly. Thank you

You might want to give this tool[^] a try. It completely removes the source control bindings from a project, in case you've missed anything.
I've posted a link in the discussion on your article as well.

So say that on the blog entry. I don't think your post belongs here.
This forum is intended for people who want to ask questions about articles, etc, that they have written. It's not a catchall forum for every article out there.

If you don't give feedback then the authors will not learn what they may have done wrong.

I don't know how article moderation exactly works here -- my idea was that someone of you who can, removes the blog from public viewing and informs the author about the reason for that. However, I will now leave a message to the author. Where should I report back if he doesn't respond, if not in this forum?

Moderation is a community activity, so if enough people vote for an article it will get published. I'm not sure if it has changed but blogs tend to get published automatically, so you cannot comment on them until after they are published. And to be honest there are plenty of articles/blogs/tips which really should not see the light of day, but there is not a great deal we can do about that, other than put comments in and downvote them. And the CodeProject staff probably have more than enough to do without trying to proofread everything that gets posted.
[edit]
I notice that you have been a member here for less than a month, so I would suggest you spend a little more time studying how the site operates. It is quite a democratic place, but that also means that there will always be people who do not follow the generally accepted practices.

Thank you for your comprehensive reply, Richard. I just discovered the Moderators' Forum - I assume that would be the right place for future reports of this kind.

Actually you can. Report them as "unclear/incomplete", as "extremely poor quality" or as "innacurate/misleading"
If enough people does it, then the light of day will be switched off.

Will the publication be put back to "unpublished" so that the author has the opportunity to improve and republish it or will it be deleted?
|

It will be marked as "Closed". There will be a notice on the article saying who closed it and why, and the content will be hidden except for the people who have the privilege to moderate articles. The author can still improve the article.

I already do that, and yet some of them still show up as published a few days later.

They don't, even after feedback generally...
