The preview step happens before you upload any files, so of course the <img> tags won't show anything. If you put alt attributes on your <img> s, the browser will show those instead.

The wizard has been reworked so you now upload images and files before you enter the text. There's an "insert image" dialog that has a preview of the image you are entering that he's talking about.
Works fine in Mozilla but not in IE. And sometimes the other way around. They two browsers treat things very differently so I need to dig in and write some browser specific code.

Hi, I just came across two bugs in the Wizard, regarding the preformatted code:
- If I choose "C++", nothing is highlighted, because the formatting engine looks for "c++" and the wizard inserts "C++".
- If I choose "managed C++", the case is correct, but the highlighting performs "greedy" search on double quotes (") for strings, and marks dozens of lines as string.

I just noticed it performs as expected when one performs a Preview...

Ah, nasty annoying bug.
It turns out the upload component we're using HTML encodes the article and our colourising code can't handle this. The preview page isn't using the upload control but the submission page does.
I'm just putting the final touches to the new colouriser that I'll try and roll out after my Christmas holiday next week (yes, delayed a little )

Hi Chris,
It looks great. Good Job.

Hi Mike,
I think the upload has been moved to the step prior to the adding of code.

Ah, nevermind then. I didn't get the memo about the revamped wizard.

No problem - keep writing those excellent articles and disregard any memo that crosses your desk.

Huh? As of right now, the article Really Dynamic Master Pages[^] has one vote, announced with the text "1 vote has for this article". Presumably, articles with only one vote aren't very common, but it looks as if the code for "number of votes=1" might need a little tweak.

After a few months of intense work, QA, retesting, a little reworking of the underlying infrastructure, a focus group and approval by legal we have removed the offending word "has".
It was a tough challenge but we're proud to say we stayed within budget and delivered all major milestones and deliverables on time.

It's a hard life being a developer when you're facing such difficult challenges...

When I went from menu Articles -> Latest to http://www.codeproject.com/info/latest.asp[^] I got:
"0 New articles, 0 updated articles, 0 moved articles since Monday 12th February, 2007"
This sure isn't right, when I hit update button on the same page I get bunch of articles.

In the past few weeks there seems to be large increase in poor articles - here is another one: Writing Dlls in C,C++.
My suggestion is this: put "new" articles (submitted via Submission Wizard) in queue of 2 or 3 volunteer editors, who will rate strictly on its merit - not format, punctuation or anything else. The volunteer editors cannot edit the article, only rate it. An article is considered "new" if submitted by someone with fewer than 5 "acceptable" articles. An article is considered to be "acceptable" if it has a rating of higher than 2. If the average of the volunteer editors' votes is greater than 2, the article will be posted; if not, the editors' comments will be sent to the poster, to let him know why it was not posted. Once a member has posted 5 "acceptable" articles, his articles will be posted directly, without being put in queue. Preferably, the volunteer editor herself/himself should have posted at least one article in the category of the submitted article.
I think this probation period will allow CP community to influence quality of articles in positive way, by giving direct feedback to authors, without harshness of simply voting article into purgatory.

We have way to many variations on the same idea... it's like its linux.

Bad articles will be voted down *by the community* and automatically sent to the Purgatory.
so, no biggies.
|
|

Each article as a "Broken Article" link at the top that allows you to report the article. Report the bad ones and we'll take the appropriate steps.

One persons idea of a good article may be anothers idea of a bad one. Leave the voting to the people who want to read them, and only those people. Forcing 'volunteers' to give a score is unfair. What if that volunteer him/herself wrote an article on the same topic, only this one is better??? What if the volunteer doesn't agree with the article???
On the subject of articles and votes. I tend to stay away from the article with low votes, but sometimes only 2 or 3 people have voted. This doesn't really compare to an article with 50 or so votes. The current scheme is to show a percentage for the score, it would be nice to also see how many people have voted. When I say this, I realise within the article itself this information is available, but in the article listings it is not. I would be more willing to read articles with low scores if the number of scorers was also low.

Oops, sorry I replied to the wrong person.
