I registered my blog with CP and I'm pleased to see my blog entries appear on CodeProject!
However there is a problem.
While CP automatically detect code blocks, it leave them with ugly formatting!
See, my original blog post:
http://galador.net/codeblog/post/2011/05/14/Introducing-DirectX-to-WPF.aspx[^]
And the CodeProject version
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/200908/Introducing-DirectX-to-WPF.aspx[^]
(Scroll down to the 1st code block)
there are plenty of "span" and "style" tag.
[EDIT]
I'm fixing most of the problem manually right now. But I'll leave some in the first code block, so you can have an idea what's going on!
Could they be automatically removed?
Or could we get a notification when the blog are copied?
Doesn't seems to happen very often...

One of the editors recently updated my article and I noticed that on the homepage the description of the article shows as "StringBuilderP...". The full description is "StringBuilderPlus facilitates prefixing and suffixing strings and StringBuilderPluses in an efficient manner." I'm not sure why that entire description isn't showing up, considering there is another description on the homepage right now that says ".NET allows binding to an event with a method that has a different signature than that of the published delegate, as long as the return type and..." (significantly longer than my article's description).

It's because our ellipsisificationising (you spelled it wrong - it's "s", not "z", here in Canadia) code tries to ensure that text will not extend past a point and break the UI. If only text-overflow:ellipsis was part of the CSS2 standard  What it does is build a string to display and chop off whole words if they don't fit, but if the first word is exceptionally long then it trims that. Since it's hard to say "X characters will be Y pixels wide" it guesses and the results are usually a little average.

I just uploaded a change to my StringBuilder+ article using the upload form (since it has already been edited and I can't make changes myself). Since I was just updating the text and none of the files were going to change, I decided to only upload the HTML file rather than a ZIP containing all the files. Here is the confirmation screen I got:
Update your article
Title StringBuilderPlus Improves Upon StringBuilder
Author AspDotNetDev
Section String handling
SubSection General
Your Comments I just fixed a typo and added info about the change to the history section.
Thank you! The article has been placed in the queue and will be attended by the next available editor. Click here to return to the StringBuilderPlus Improves Upon StringBuilder article.
Format for file upload is not permitted. Permitted formats are zip.
It says my article has been placed on the queue for an editor to look at, but it also says the file format is not permitted. I'm confused, was it submitted or not? Either way, this screen should be fixed so only one of those messages comes across.

I improved this alternate (originally posted by somebody else), but then a couple minutes later I noticed something else that needed improving, but I no longer see the "improve" button. Why is that?

I see it all good. Try the old trick of Cntrl+F5 or logout-login or just wait for sometime.

Ik looks like the hamstermeister has determined the subject has been sufficiently massaged, and he suggests you move on...

I blame Deeksha. She edited the alternate, but didn't get rid of the extraneous tab.

The issue was that we were letting you set the restriction on who can edit your tip, but not on alternate tips. So, initially after the alt tip was posted it could be edited, but after that it defaulted to locked-down.
Fixing.

After looking at the CPVanity project and talking to the developer could you offer a detailed ranking system based on all the criteria's e.g. ranking on author, authority ... points, you already have the data so it should be easy to do.

keep up the good work

The ranking system is at it is. There are categories where every member can gain ( sometimes loose) points.
The points that can be gained were worked out over quite a period of time so if see some need for adjustment you'll have to suggest a proposal where improvements could be made.
Cheers!

Ah, the famous last words... "It should be easy to do." How many times have I heard those magic words spewing forth from the mouth of a client.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

You have a little over 11,000 points. You show up on page 20 of the Who's Who page when sorted by reputation points, and are in about the 480'th place. That's the ranking system.
At this point, you are a barely perceptible blip on the reputation radar. Just participate in the site, and let the points accumulate.

Ouch, a tad too blunt there!

That's John's touchy-feely side coming through there. The caring, nurturing John.

At least he's ON the radar. There are fewer than 600 users above 10k points right now.
