Indeed, they have redirected the secundary search tools to the primary one now. Which is good.
If they now would remember some of the settings, mainly "sort by date created desc", that would be good.

Makes me now wonder why Matthew asked "Could you describe the steps you took..."

You can use the Saved Queries to capture the current search and all its setting. You can save up to 10 searches. For example, I have a query to list all of Chris's forum message post, sorted by date created, descending. This lets me keep track of what he is promising everybody.
So, just do the query you want, enter a name for the query, and click the save button. This will add the query to you saved query list. Just click on it to re-execute.

"Promised" is too strong a word. I prefer "brow beaten into offering".

I understand that, I did experiment with it a bit when it surfaced, but then there were some problems at that time (I'm pretty sure they got fixed), and it still requires extra clicks to get there. Having the saved queries horizontally, as a line of buttons above the textbox would be better IMO. But I would settle for a user selectable default query, which you would use in whatever way the search page gets called (unless URL parameters tell otherwise of course).

They all call the new search page, at least they are supposed to. If I've missed one, let me know.

Yes, I think you're right, AspDotNetDev already told me so. I actually stopped using all widgets/buttons/editboxes relating to search on various CP pages, I created my own browser favorites button that brings up the search page with order=createddesc as that is what I need 90% of the time. (I wish the search page would just remember that setting!).

I was unable to add multiple synonyms to the "Access" tag by using commas - as the instructions state that I can.
The instructions say: "Use commas to separate multiple synonyms"
However, when I did that it did not work and I received the following label message in red: "Please enter just one at a time." --> this works.
-- Thanks.

How about code hosting within CodeProject instead of going out and using codeplex, github etc...

On CodeProject, we call code hosting "Articles".

Doesn't that dilute the whole purpose of Code Project? More importantly, this would place one heck of an infrastructure strain on Code Project and, as there are several good alternatives out there, what benefit would it bring?
|
|
|
|
|
It would be a one stop shop.
Obviously I can't comment on the infrastructure changes required... just a suggestion for extra business and for consideration.

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?
