I posted a new article[^] today about WPF. Usually when I post a WPF article, it will appear under the 'All Topics', '.NET', and 'C#' views. This article has only shown up under 'All Topics.' Is there a reason for that, or has something gone wrong?
Thanks.

Hmmm. I'll dig into this Monday morning

OK, thanks. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

BTW - My new article about WF[^] is only showing up in 'All Topics' view as well. It might be the same problem.
Thanks again.

Hey Chris...The WF article made it into the C# and .NET views, so I guess the problem is specific to that WPF article. HTH.

Holy crap! Now the WPF article just appeared in the C# and .NET views! What timing... Well, I suppose there might still be an issue with regards to how long it takes for a WPF article to make it's way to those views. But I guess this is now an Extremely Low Priority Issue.

The current layout for the "Rate this message" and "Report as Spam or Abuse" links in the messages makes it easy to mis-rate a message. If you've had enough coffee, it's possible to have a twitch of the mouse convert what was going to be a '5' rating into a 'Spam' rating.
How about something like this:
<nobr>Rate this message: Abuse Spam 1 2 3 4 5 (out of 5)
I think this also makes it a little clearer that you get one vote (you can't give a post a '1', and then decide it's 'abuse' as well).

I agree with your point, but perhaps this layout might be better:
Rate this message: 1 2 3 4 5 (out of 5) Abuse Spam
That layout would emphasize the normal 1 - 5 rating options, which are typically more important than the Abuse & Spam options. It also puts more space between a numeric rating value (1 - 5) and the Abuse & Spam options. In your layout, the Spam and 1 options are dangerously close!

Good point. I was thinking 'linearly', with the links in order by rank.

You get a confirmation prompt before a Spam or Abuse vote is counted.

Voting Spam or Abuse also casts a 1 vote at the same time.

Is it permitted to use these tags in an article? For example, to embed flash video of how an app works?
|
|
|
|

Currently no, since we don't allow movies in pages that start automatically. I'm happy to allow a popup window with a movie embedded though. Email me the article directly since it will take a bit of tweaking to get the movie past the filters

After an article has been edited and moved, I notice that the width and height parameters of an IMG tag are flipped - height is first, followed by width (sometimes with intervening parameters). Since the normal way to express an image size is w x h, would it be possible to change the script (or whatever is causing this)? I would like to see width always first, followed immediately by height (not separated by other parameters).
Thanks!

Wow. There's nothing like knowing someone is really, really watching what you do to make you ensure you do a good job 
Actually it's the IE editing control that is doing this. It does a lot of weird things

Now that you have exposed this shocking secret, I have to ask: can't you use a different editor, that is more human-friendly?
|

I know, it's so embarrasing. 
The editor is part of the submission wizard. If an image in an article isn't modified (ie it has all it's width/height tags in place and the location correct) then I'm not 100% sure the edit control will touch it.
I'm sure I could spend a couple of hours post-processing the submission HTML to search for width/height tags and swap them around but I have to ask: is it really, really that important?

The member count on the Who's Who[^] page is off by a factor of 10. Today it displays "Page 1 of 352,240" instead of "Page 1 of 3,522,401".

This 404 causes CP to suggest the same missing page as the likely candidate. (Screen shot)[^]

Hey Ravi, did you print out that screen shot and then chop up the edges to get that look?

No, it's a long-standing IE bug.

Hi,
If someone change their email address (that is login and article emails), which is provided to CP, then what effect will it produce on the account.
