Re: Closed Tip / Trick Chris Maunder26-Sep-12 3:41 Chris Maunder 26-Sep-12 3:41  CodeProject is primarily dedicated to sharing source code, not a links or apps-download site, so opening the source code for your plug-in would be a great way for us to accept your article. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Can We Delete A Draft? Huseyin Atasoy25-Sep-12 10:37 Huseyin Atasoy 25-Sep-12 10:37  Can we delete a draft? There is a garbage can icon but I was afraid to try to click on it. I couldn't be sure if it deletes the whole article or only the draft. Links are different, but I want to be sure. Published Article: Delete.aspx?aid=#### Draft: Delete.aspx?aid=####&waid=#### Thanks. Re: Can We Delete A Draft? Sean Ewington25-Sep-12 10:42 Sean Ewington 25-Sep-12 10:42  You can. But if you've never published that article before, that will indeed delete the whole article. If you have published the article and delete the draft, that draft will not be able to be recovered, but the article should still exist. There's a few barriers in front of this, though. "Are you sure you want to delete this draft? Y/N" Thanks, Sean Ewington The Code Project Re: Can We Delete A Draft? Huseyin Atasoy25-Sep-12 10:48 Huseyin Atasoy 25-Sep-12 10:48  Ok, I deleted it. Thanks. Re: Can We Delete A Draft? Lacy0027-Sep-12 16:32 Lacy00 27-Sep-12 16:32  Ok I know thanks for your patience and reply. I dont see the Images from my article gbenussi25-Sep-12 1:56 gbenussi 25-Sep-12 1:56  Hi, i create my article, has been aproved but i dont can see the images, for that reason i have update the article many times, but now i discover that do that cause that my article have to wait to revision. some idea for what the images dont load? Primality Test[^] Re: I dont see the Images from my article Sean Ewington25-Sep-12 3:54 Sean Ewington 25-Sep-12 3:54  I put the images back. Do you happen to have the HTML of the original article? Please email it to me so we can make sure the final version is perfect (I suspect a few images are missing in places on the current version). Thanks, Sean Ewington The Code Project Article pending K C R25-Sep-12 0:46 K C R 25-Sep-12 0:46  What does it mean if my articles shows pending status? How long should I wait to confirm that the article is approved or not? Re: Article pending Sean Ewington25-Sep-12 4:01 Sean Ewington 25-Sep-12 4:01  Pending status means that an article is awaiting approval from the Code Project community. The vast majority of new articles on Code Project need a couple of tiny improvements because they do not sufficiently explain the code within the article. I can see your post has been approved already. Typically you won't wait longer than 24-48 hours unless you're in the process of fixing up your article that requires some continued community feedback. Thanks, Sean Ewington The Code Project Re: Article pending K C R25-Sep-12 17:22 K C R 25-Sep-12 17:22  Thanks a lot Sean Duplicate articel Richard MacCutchan24-Sep-12 23:03 Richard MacCutchan 24-Sep-12 23:03  This week's newsletter mentions Kenneth Haugland's article: Finding prime numbers[^], which has won the monthly award for best article. I just came across this submission[^] which covers the same subject, although possibly not written quite as well. Should we accept the second one also or reject it on the grounds that it really does not offer anything new? One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature. Re: Duplicate articel Sean Ewington25-Sep-12 4:35 Sean Ewington 25-Sep-12 4:35  Good catch. I think in this case we throw the author of the new article a gauntlet. "Can you please state the differences or change focus to something different?" I've tossed it to his feet. Thanks, Sean Ewington The Code Project Never trying to help again! djdynamix21-Sep-12 2:50 djdynamix 21-Sep-12 2:50  Code Project has been a valuable resource to me as I try to get back into programming after a 30 year "sabatical". So... I thought I'd give something back to the community and publish a solution I found to a much-googled Windows 7 security issue. But... As soon as the article went up, it was closed again, because someone reported it as "unclear"??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? No explanation, no message to ask if I could clarify whatever it was that was "unclear", no offer of any help to rework the article in a way that was acceptable to the "powers that be".... NO! Just "Closed". I won't be trying again. If anyone is interested in any of the work I'm doing, please feel free to message me, but I won't be trying to publish any of my code on here again. That's for sure. Re: Never trying to help again! Simon_Whale21-Sep-12 6:14 Simon_Whale 21-Sep-12 6:14  have you not asked who closed it for more information?

Sean Ewington21-Sep-12 6:27 Sean Ewington 21-Sep-12 6:27  Hi djdynamix, Apologies if there was any confusion or it seemed abrupt in any way. Each "Closed" message is accompanied by an offer to go back to your article and update it and comes from the submit address where you can respond for clarification or suggestions (that might be a bit unclear, we'll reconsider). If this is regarding the article I believe it is, I'd be happy to work with you on getting it published. It may be more suited to a Tips & Tricks post, but we also have CodeProject Mentors who are lovely, wise, experienced authors who are willing to help get articles published if you're interested. Thanks, Sean Ewington The Code Project Re: Never trying to help again! djdynamix21-Sep-12 9:47 djdynamix 21-Sep-12 9:47  Thanks for your reply, Sean. I can't see anything except "closed". Apparently there was a comment on the article itself, but now it's closed, it is inaccessible, so I have no idea what the comment was about. I agree that it would be better in "Tips & Tricks". I thought that's where I'd put it.... Silly me! Could you maybe move it there for me, or do I need to redo it? I do hope not, as, being new to posting on here, it took me an absolute age to get the code to format properly. Incidentally, how DO you copy & paste here from VS2012? Re: Never trying to help again! Sean Ewington21-Sep-12 10:41 Sean Ewington 21-Sep-12 10:41  It should now be live as a Tips & Tricks post. If you have any trouble accessing it please let me know. As for pasting from VS2012, I wish I could help, but I know not! Thanks, Sean Ewington The Code Project Re: Never trying to help again! djdynamix21-Sep-12 19:51 djdynamix 21-Sep-12 19:51  Thanks for your help, Sean. You've restored my faith!

Most people here in general are willing to help by giving constructive feedback to better help you improve it. By the way, I found your tip and you may want to fix the extra spacing in your second code block. Fix that and it looks pretty good to me.

I'll take a look at it as soon as I have a moment spare. Re: Never trying to help again! Chris Maunder21-Sep-12 11:33 Chris Maunder 21-Sep-12 11:33  Quality of code means everything. Imagine if every single article had a large notice asking for money. It would be very off-putting. I started CodeProject so I could give away my code freely, and sticking to that philosophy is important to me. If you don't wish to five the code away freely that's absolutely your choice. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Never trying to help again! i0021-Sep-12 11:42 i00 21-Sep-12 11:42  I do provide it freely.
