Fair enough.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

 Good idea. Because there is enough space on the line, "Edit / Improve" may be also used.
And it should be also used with solutions. Just yesterday another user 'improved' one of my solutions by adding text without any indications what he has added so that it seemed that I have written the complete text.

When I click on the tag of an article, the web page show me a list of related articles
1 - The pagination of this list does not work
2 - the page size does not work

Looks fine to me; which browser are you using.

That happens sometimes when the CP server load is high. The servers simply cannot cope with the demand. If you see that again, just wait a while and then check again.
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

To site adm: The message basil3000 has posted a new comment at "[Article]: An MFC Chart Control with Enhanced User Interface":
>>Nothing seems to be able to open the demo source code zip. Can you upload it again?
I have received a notification in my email, but the message is not posted as a message to my article. So I cannot answet it as usual authors of CodeProject articles do.

If the comment isn't there, then it suggests that the user deleted the message. It could well be that he's been able to open the file now and has decided to get rid of the post because it doesn't apply.

Hi Chris,
Code Project Article:-
"COM IDs & Registry keys in a nutshell" by Joao C Morais.
It opens in my browser, but the moment I hit the scroll bar, the screen clears, and displays 'false' in the LH-Top Corner.
I don't realy want to start a thread about this, I just want to report something that does not work. (AND I would like to be able to read the article)
I use IE8 on WinXP-SP3. I have no fancy drivers, audio rigs, games, etc. I have a booring machine that runs DevStudio 97, OpenOffice, Adobe Software for videoclips and Acrobate, and that's about it!
Kind Regards,
P.S.
Update.:
I now get this effect with each and every article, that is 'false' in the LH-Top Corner, as soon as I hit the Scroll bar.(but it does not happen with the forums).Is this a setting in my browser, or a bug in the CP site. (It does also not happen with other sites, such as Source Forge).
As it now stands, CP Articles are for now effectively 'Off Limit' for me, until this is resolved.
Please let me know what you think...
Thanks,
Bram van Kampen

Another member reported this and it was because they had an ad blocker or content blocker installed at their work.

I have been interacting with 2 Q&A posts in the last few days, which have been deleted by the originators after a few interchanges. This was apparently to hide their own replies, or avoid having some other CP member point out where they could find the information they need. In both cases they sent me a response comment and then immediately deleted the entire thread. This means that history is lost, along with what could be useful information within some of the answers. Since we cannot do this in the other forums should it not be disabled in Q&A?

Hi Richard,
I interpret what you said, above, as advocacy for making questions on QA have a "never-delete" status, when someone has responded to the OP with a "significant" response that includes valuable information: if that's correct, I agree: those posts should not deleted. Whether you define both comments, and answers, as, possibly, "significant," I am not sure.
I do know I have seen some comments on QA questions that contained very useful content for me !
The "structural" problem I see is: if the question is trivial, its title indicative of its lack of substance or confusion, or the question's content is absurdly weird, then the "valuable response" will, probably, get "lost in the ozone," even if the question "sticks." And, then, you have the issue of: what if a lot of other high-rep people don't think the question, and its comments/answers, don't deserve to "stick" ?
A forum for Asian expats I participate in has a fixed rule that once any reply has been given to a post by another member, the OP cannot delete the question, but, I am not saying I think that's best for CP.
What I really enjoy seeing on QA is the degree to which many responders can use their vast experience to respond to what the user really means to ask, but what they were incapable of asking articulately. imho, people like you, and OriginalGriff, and many others, are masters of knowing the question that really needs to be answered.
In addition to the OP behavior you describe, your point here also brings to mind, for me, whether I (or others), as would-be-helper, should ever delete an OP (given we have the rep level to delete questions).
It does "gall" me if I see a question, followed by multiple responses (as comments) trying to get the OP to clarify, tag, frame, the question, followed by "radio silence" by the OP, or the OP responding to very precise clarifying questions by just restating their original question ("yes, but how do I bind a ... to a ... ?").
Equally "galling" to me, is to see one or more good answers which the OP never marks as an answer.
I have been extremely reluctant to "kill" a QA question (I'm not sure, in fact, if I've ever done this). I've certainly felt like doing this, after I've posted a series of clarifying questions, and gotten the kind of non-response I just described by an OP.
So, how would this work on a practical level ? Should someone with a certain level of rep be able to set an asked question, with what they view as significant response(s), to "never-delete" status.
I have proposed, on this forum, before, that: if an OP doesn't respond to comments asking them, politely, to clarify, tag, frame, etc., their question, within a certain period of time, those with platinum rep should be able to "freeze" the question from being answered until the OP responds to the comment(s).
The sad fact is: if many of the QA questioners simply knew how to use CP search, they'd find their common questions ("how do I make a change to the Text in the TextBox on Form2 available to ... whatever ?") have already been answered many times. imho, that's an intractable problem
And, the question of how to "harvest," and save in a convenient, accessible, well-indexed, way, great technical content that appears on both QA, and, in places like the Lounge, is one that continues to intrigue me: there's no practical solution I can see that would not require massive effort on the part of CP staff which is totally impractical.
My only practical response to this scenario is that I have sent several QA responders who've given what I felt were unusually great answers (and several Lounge posters), my thanks, and a suggestion they post their content in the form of a Tip/Trick, or, even an article.
best, Bill

An excellent and well reasoned explanation of what I was trying to say; my grateful thanks, and I agree with every word. Now we wait to see what Chris thinks.
[edit]
Changed "No we wait ..." to "Now we wait ...".

The Lounge guidelines clearly state (point #4) that politics does not belong on the Lounge, and neither does religion.
But, I'm looking right now at a top-o-the-Lounge thread started by OriginalGriff [^] ... which I'm not about to open to read the (inevitably) "flaming" 22 responses to.
And, now, there's a message right above Griff's from Nagy V., which appears to be directly about some real problem he has with behavior by priests of the Roman Catholic faith (I'm not Christian, by the way). This post appears not to be a joke, by the way.
Is it too much to ask that such posts be moved to the SoapBox ?
thanks, Bill

It's sad to see that people think that asking for the rules of the lounge be obeyed warrants a downvote. You have my 5 to compensate.
I too dislike these types of posts in the lounge. Religion and politics are divisive topics, and lead to flamewars that have no place in the loungs. Sadly, I suspect the usual culprits will continue to pick and choose which rules they wish to obey, as the Kid Sister rule has long gone out the window.

I did, but it has different connotations in the UK. It's a lot less of an insult here than in the US. (Actually, I didn't call the an a**hole, I called them an a***hole, but let's not get into the whole US v UK spelling thing).

I think some PITA-trouble-makers are performing quite a constructive service to the CP community, and others are hemorrhoids
Perhaps the difference lies in context, timing, and intent ?
