Is there a Chance that I can pin a comment from me in my tip to appear in the top of the comments in my tip?

Why I'm asking this:
This like, I have a Chance to place some comments and "preview information" without update the tip and bother the comunity to approve the tip for small changes again and again.

Only a question Blush | :O

It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I don't think there is. Perhaps post in as suggestion in sugs and bugs.

It is no bother to approve an article/tip from someone we know and trust.

AFAIK it was already suggested and is in the ToDo list

This user has fed a bunch of Blogs in the last hours.

Some of them are interesting, some of them not worthy (but that's my opinion).

What it bothers me a bit is the signature of the blogs. It changes in a rate that looks suspicious for me.
In some Blogs he is CTO of [LINK]
In some Blogs he is Senior consultant of [Another LINK]
In some blogs he is Co-Founder of [Another LINK]
...

I wonder... why don't just put this information in his profile and leave the Blogs without unneeded links?

[EDIT]
I am was tempted of posting this in the S&A Forum (someone else took the lead on this point). What do you mean?

@Sean-Ewington would you mind to have a look before he gets nuked?
[/EDIT]

P.S. one of the blogs got optimized by the staff and the type was changed to Article (I suppose not in purpose). Can this concrete change be rolled back?

this article in moderation contains the "editorial note" that is generally used in the FAQs articles.

I think the author simply chose the author resources category, is all Smile | :)

The article tags are: Javascript, Google, Internet, Web, API, bootstrap and market.

Does it remains, even after a possible correction?

[EDIT] Now I see what you mean...

It is my first edition to an article of another person, would you mind to have a look?

Can you please have a look?

First time I clicked on my link, it pointed to only a draft. Then I saw the different versions in the list.

I opened the last one, and changed the cathegory. In that moment, the auto generated Email had the correct user name of the original author. But I saved it as "working status".

Then I wanted to click on publish and the author name changed to "retired author".

I have searched just in case of Spam, I don't see it in the S&A forum.
Now there are 2 Authors (one of them me) but both appear as "retired author"

After refreshing the home page, it is directly listed as approved (because I did the last change), but as authors is "by null"

I don't know what I have done wrong... but would you mind to have a look and correct the mess?

You've opened up a strange door, it seems, using your protector status. I deleted the article and then you tried to make it available by the sounds of things. Now it walks and talks but it has no soul.

What have we done.

That's the point... I usually get a "this article was marked as deleted on Timestamp" message when I visit the articles.

Other times it says "this is an auto generated draft, would you might either discard it or continue the work on it" (i.e. when visiting articles that have been nuked by the S&A corp, then I delete the auto draft because I know that the owner or someone with enough privileges can bring it back from limbo)

This time I got something different. Pity I don't recall exactly what it said, but had to do with "an old/new version". That's why I checked the versions.

I don't know if it will help you digging deeper, but I will describe it as I remember.

#1 one was selected one but there were 3 of them, corrections in the screenshots and tiny text editions. I opened #3 to see what you said about the cathegories and then I could not find "go back and discard changes" button. I just clicked back and #4 was born, then I decided to correct the settings and it got an email with correct author name (it said it would send a copy to "submit@cp.com") where I wrote I changed the cathegory. Then #5 was born, but it was as "no publish", it confused me and #6 was born but this time the email came with "author retired" as name...

then everything went from bad to worst...

First the images were missing, then I tried the "rollback #3" and #7 was born, then I was already asking you for help, I thought maybe if I publish it... #8 was born and the email contained 2x "author retired", then I saw it in the list with "published by NULL"

Then I was already OMG | :OMG:

I think it is not all my fault... something is not working as it should with the revisions page.

If I have a look to the "revisions" in this article in moderation it shows the list of the versions but from a "UNTITLED ARTICLE" (big grey letters in the upper left side of the page)

Different browser, different computer as yesterday.

[Addition]
It happens with all articles in moderation, but not with articles that got through and are officially published.

The issue appears to be the pre tags are inside li segments.

Do you think it is a bug to be posted in the other board?

this article contains a lot of links (even the picture is a link) to the proprietary blog of the guy. If the article was a blog, it is supposed to be allowed (I think it shouldn't though) but what to do in this case?

I post it here to avoid "site driving" answers if I post it in other place.

@Sean-Ewington or @Chris-Maunder I would like to know your opinions.
