This[^] article has been approved and is available to all and sundry.
I'm not really complaining about the article although I feel it really needs some work. My problem is with whoever approved it.
I just thought that I would suggest that a gentle word is spoken to the approver, if the excellent standard of CP is to be maintained.

We are close to finishing a change to the approval system that will make the system more transparent and a little safer.

It's gone now, but that was an emailed one, wasn't it? I think I remember it, one with a horribly ugly UI and little explanation.
I was planning to ask, but I suppose your new system will make it redundant now. Are you going to put all articles (including those edited by staff) in the moderation queue? If so, good, because I think it is asking too much to expect the (staff) editor to vet the contents for suitability as well.

Maybe the approver has a different opinion, one that rates the article higher than you do? How would you expect the editors to be able to evaluate your opinion vs. the approver's?
In any case, depending on how strongly you feel, there are a few other options:
1. Add a message in the article's forum suggesting to the author what specific things he should do to improve the article (maybe you've already done this, I didn't look). This would be my recommendation, since other people might see your post, and offer other suggestions for improvement.
2. Click the Report flag and tell the CP editors that the article is substandard and should not have been approved, giving your reasons.

The article has been removed now. However, it received at least a dozen 1-votes with comments explaining why. There was really no substance to the article and the application it produced was very poorly put together, and provided some very bad examples for less experienced developers. I think Henry's opinion was perfectly valid and shared by many people.
I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

Hans, was it you that approved this article? j/k...I really don't want to know.

Just added an Alternate to http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/161652/How-to-Toggle-String-Case-in-NET.aspx[^]
There were already 17 items but mine is now 17th and the previous 17 is now 18!
If you search for "Actually, in my browser, Alternate 13 is regular expression, and Alternate 10 is using unsafe code" you will see that the reassignment of Alternates is causing all sorts of problems.
(Just in case its relevant for debugging: as soon as I posted my Alternate, I noticed that the width was incorrect and there were two Pre tags at around the code, so I modified the Alternate to fix them. I didn't notice what the Alternate number was before the amendment but maybe the problem only shows on an Amendment?)
Cheers

The number depends on how your alternate is ordered, which depends on the tab you selected and then the values or rating or update date.

it is more about the F@H Team CodeProject page! here[^]
Anyone know who is the administrator for it so the logo can get fixed?
At present it points to http://www.codeproject.com/images/codeproject120x60.gif[^], which doesn't exist.
Can you pop an image at this location, or who has access to the profile to change the target link?
Maybe some of your Arty types can make a Bob Image that has something relating to folding, maybe Bob in a white coat holding some molecules or something.

I've added back the image but would prefer to have access to that page so I can set a new path.
Anyone?

Say my mouse is at the top of the Technical Blog page.
I want to click the "Blog Articles" link.
As I move my mouse down, it passes over the "Features" menu, the menu automatically drops down and covers the link I wanted to click.
Not cool at all.

That reminds me of a snowball fight I had where I lobbed snowballs over a car thinking I was pounding a mate into oblivion, only to see him standing someway apart from the car. The husband of the poor 70 year old woman who had been cowering behind the car and was now comprehensively snowballed said to me "Not cool. Not cool at all".
I felt terrible.
In this case, though, I will look to see how tricky it will be add a small delay on the dropdowns. They are purely CSS driven, no javascript, but anything's possible, right?

>> I felt terrible.
For beating up an old lady? Your emotional reaction was appropriate. 
At first I didn't like your suggestion....if I want a menu to expand, I'll click the damn thing.
But after some thought, if I paused on a menu to click it and it opened automatically so I didn't have to click it...well that might be pretty cool!

Pure CSS is lighter and "cleaner", but hover intent[^] is pretty cool too.

When I delete one of my comments (on a tip/trick), there is no indication that it has been deleted until I mouse over it and I see "deleted". I am even able to reply to it (I can also edit it and restore it so that it is effectively undeleted, but that may be according to design). I'm not sure if others can do the same, but that seems like a strange design. I also think it looks ugly to keep deleted comments around (though there does not seem to be anything functionally wrong with doing so).

I'll make deleted items more obvious.
We went back and forth many times on whether to show deleted items to those who had the ability to view them. Maybe we should just nuke them completely.

I can't see this in the list, but myself and co-worker tried to vote on the same post today, I had already voted. He got a message saying that someone from the IP address had already voted.
Any chance of making it IP / UserID combination?
|
|
|
|
|
If I am not mistaken...
The IP address is used to overcome the problem of people voting on their own posts or the posts of somebody they don't like using a different user ID (i.e., sock puppet accounts). It's unfortunate that IP addresses are sometimes shared by many individuals.
