Hey Karl,
Have you tried directly using " inside the pre blocks? You don't need to escape it. That might work better.

Nish,
I thought I tried that when I submitted the article using the article submission wizard. Maybe I overlooked this.
I'll try and post my next article this week so that will give me a chance to try your idea.
Thank you,

http://www.codeproject.com/info/Licenses.aspx
Quote from the GPL description: "A common but misunderstood license. This allows developers to freely use the software as long as they don’t charge for it and as long as they use the same license for parts of the program that they wrote themselves."
The first sentence is apperently right, everything afterwards not. The GPL can be used for commercial application and you can charge as much as you want for selling an GPL application (even through it might not make sense in certain cases because of other restriction). You don't have to use the same license for code you add yourself, it can be a less "restricting one" like public domain for example as long as you also comply with the GPL rules (which means publishing the source of it, if you link it against or use it with GPL code).
It is evident that the author of this article doesn't like those licenses (out of content quotes like "The author of this license ask you not to use this license" or statements like "Unacceptable to many.") but nevertheless the descriptions should be somewhat accurate or the evil licenses removed completely.

Good points. I've updated the wording to be more accurate

Why are you still talking about December when we're now in February?

Because our competition system is still being updated. I was hoping to have this updated this week but we need to do a few last minute checks before we update.
Sorry for the delay.

Ignore it, Nish. Some people feel even stingy to bring a smile on their face. Just by some one barking at CP, no one is going to be discouraged. There is a Tamil saying that 'We ought to be like Swans'*, since Swan has a good art of separating the milk from water and drinking only milk.
Let us only take up the good positive ones which would help us in the growth and vote down the negative ones.

It seems the little right arrow to the right of next at the bottom of the page got moved right a little too much.

LOL - It seems to have gone away. Weird. You didn't fix it, did you?

What tends to happen is someone reports something broken (the site, in our office, my family) I go and take a look, and it stops being broken. I do nothing.
I then leave the country and the entire thing explodes in a ball of flame leaving casualties for miles.
It's uncanny

So hire someone to take your vacations for you. 
Actually, the next arrows were slightly over the border making the border appear broken. That seems to have been resolved since I was seeing it in all the pages.
My second question to you is are images now post-able or did you want it via email? (For next time you go on vacation.)

Email is best. I do need to add the ability to upload screenshots.

Chris. Long time back, in Classic CodeProject, there was a comprehensive discussion on this. Some people were actually advising against since it might lead to abuse. Image uploads then may necessitate you to have some members as moderators distributed across the globe in different timezones so that potential abuses can be nipped off in the bud.

I'm one of the people with major reservations. If you implement it I predict our problem children will be splattering goatse, tubgirl, etc images across the board within days.
Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

True.
Even yesterday, we had one instance of a Nigeria guy who dropped his sh*t in a technical forum. The implementation needs a very careful approach to safeguard against abuse. The other issue, I foresee would be heavy CPU usage and disk space usage. Some people would just upload a big screenshot in BitMap format, taking advantage of their T1 connections.
Those of us who are still hooking up to the Internet through slow dialups and weaker cables would be having problems. This also compounds the bandwidth requirements on CP server too.

The bandwidth/database load part can be addressed by either requiring jpg/png only, putting a tight upload cap, or doing a resize and resample at the server end. The only insoluable problem I see are the problem children's abuses.

Currently, I think CP does not support this. There was a discussion on this and some members felt that there might be abuse of this image upload feature.
Bassam Abdul-Baki wrote: did you want it via email
I think, Chris has agreed to your email attachment however, you would observed that people sometimes upload screenshots to their websites or other file/image hosting websites like XDrive, ImageCabin, PhotoBucket etc.

Great feeling? When such thing happens to me and if someone else is there I run command line and type one or two unrelated commands (like ipconfig or systeminfo) just to leave them with impression that I REALLY did something to fix the problem

Not so great feeling? 
Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

When I look at this page : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/[^], I see a messed up version of the page, the BG is black and the page is a gazillion pixel wide.
