Go to the very bottom of that page, and look at the diagnostic information. I have tried this a few times and seen:
Web01 | 2.6.130513.1 | Last Updated 29 Nov 1999
Web03 | 2.6.130513.1 | Last Updated 29 Nov 1999
Web04 | 2.6.130513.1 | Last Updated 29 Nov 1999
Notice the year. I thought this was limited to that page, but now looking at the bottom of the page I am writing this on, I see:
Web03 | 2.6.130513.1 | Last Updated 10 Aug 2007
If I start seeing "Server OS: Windows 3.11", I might  .

That date defaults to the date the page (ie the actual wiring) was updated, which is a manual value set at page creation date. I'll update it so it reflects the last time the content was updated. Thanks

Having just written my Azure challenge article, I noticed some issues with code downloads attached to the article. Here are some suggestions:
- Show files of unknown extensions. In the "browse code" tab, files with an unknown extension just don't display at all. Examples include cscfg, ccproj, settings, browser, asax, and csdef. It would be nice if you displayed files with unknown extensions as plain text (i.e., no syntax highlighting). You could still maintain an exclusion list of extensions you intentionally do not display (e.g., images, flash files, videos, sound files, other media).
- Collapse tree. When in "browse code", it can be confusing to browse through large projects. It would be nice if the hierarchy could be collapsed (like in Visual Studio). I'd either collapse everything by default, or show a button that collapses everything (like in Visual Studio 2012).
- Track external downloads. For my article, I had a large code sampe (17.6MB), so I had to link to it externally rather than upload it to Code Project. I'm pretty sure these external downloads are not tracked (which makes the download count shown next to the article potentially very inaccurate). Some ideas for tracking external downloads: JavaScript that detects when the link is clicked, or pass through an intermediate redirect page before reaching the download, or allow a Code Project server to act as a proxy through which the externally hosted file is downloaded.

We're close to releasing a fairly major upgrade to our code storage system.

Putting 'Part 1 of...' makes article titles too long, plus authors have to know in advanced how many part articles are going to be.
I suggest that 'CP' allows authors to connect a set of related articles to each other and also provides readers a navigation mechanism, like a simple box of links to all parts beside such articles.
Thanks.

It's a simple matter to put your own links into articles that form a series; see the Introduction section in WPF: A Beginner's Guide - Part 1 of n[^], by Sacha Barber. And the length of the title is up to ther author.
Use the best guess

I have already seen such articles and it was clear if my message is read again!
I just thought it'll be a great feature, it brings a good order to how articles with multiple parts should be handled, best of all is that it isn't that difficult to implement and the result will be very useful and very cool. Just imagine that information box next to such articles.

I agree, the links must be maintained over time and when CP runs upgrades they may break. Great suggestion

This is something we've had on our TODO for years.

Hi Chris! VERY Nice to meet you here again.
I hope this feature finds its way to your release catalog, although CP must be a 24/7 job for you already! 
Cheers!

There is a problem with this weeks survey. When I open the survey it gives me a 'page not found' error message. Is it just my link or is this all over?

Clicking the "Results" link also results in a 404.

Hi,
Recently I have posed an article but its status is showing as closed. Feedback I received is quality is poor. Can admins please send me the detailed feedback so that I can keep in mind while writing the next article as this was my first time writing an article.
Also, this article is not being showed in My Articles section.

Only articles that have been published show in the My Articles section. Why not reopen the article and keep it at composing status ? Then, get in touch with Sean Ewington to request that a Mentor helps you with getting the article published.
As a general guide, when you publish an article, take a look at the articles from the top authors to see what is expected.

You should be able to edit the article if you have the original URL to it.

To whom it may concern,
I recently found that I can't download the zipped code files which are attached to articles. Whenever I have clicked a download link on an article, it returns back to the article page without any promopt.
Can anyone help?
or something wrong with my account ?
who can check it?
Thank you in advance.
