...And if so, how?
@Sean-Ewington
@PaltryProgrammer is having problems formatting code blocks: The Lounge[^] and I think it needs someone to have a look and help him out. If you want the job, help yourself - but if it is possible for Mentors I'd like to know how I find it ...

I have swooped in. Thank you for the heads up!
But to answer your other question, in order to be able to edit his draft, you need to be able to find it from his article listing. In this case, Tips & Tricks, it's marked as an unfinished article, and you want to look for the most recent one. Then you should be able to open it up and edit it.
Thanks,

I can't see it in his tips'n'tricks, just the two published ones:
Is there an option I need to enable somewhere?

Hmmm. I think you probably don't have the correct permissions. I guess only editors and admins have it.

Seems odd - shouldn't mentors be able to at least see the article they are trying to help with before it is published?

Any article that an author asks to have a Mentor is turned into a different status that anyone with the link can view.
I guess this is a subcase where someone who didn't specifically ask for a Mentor gets Mentor access. Something for us to think about.

Thanks for fixing it!

It has been a few months since the last competition voting was held.

Our apologies. There is a bug with our voting system. It is on our bug list, but we've been busy with other things. The monthly article competition will return.

So many unanswered questions. Who broke it? How were they punished?

Hi guys.
I've got a my technical blog RSS feed imported into CodeProject, and my first 3 articles were imported successfully. Just looking at my feed in CP though, it says that the last import was done on 7-Apr-21 6:17 (1 month ago). There is definitely new content there that hasn't been syndicated to CP.
Has my blog been blacklisted or something to that effect?
Thanks heaps.

Hi Jason,
Thanks very much for the message. I have the blog aggregator a kick and now new posts of yours are in the approval queue.
Thanks,

Thanks mate, they seem to be imported now
Is there anything I could have done to kickstart the process? I think I read that feeds are meant to be ingested hourly, but it looks like mine was inactive for about a month or so. Or was there something in my feed that caused it do be dormant until manually invoked?

If there is an issue, it may be on our end. I'm keeping an eye on Technical Blogs as they come in to make sure the aggregator isn't busted. Sometimes it needs a kick.
Thanks,

The hamsters will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe articles are now slotted automatically, based on their tags. So you have to play with the tags until your article lands in an appropriate category.
If Chris is listening, I predict that this scheme will eventually go the way of the Wool Reserve Price.

In that case the question becomes how did those tags show up and how can I change them? I cannot image having put them there in the first place.

When you edit an article, there is a section at the top for adding tags. You can add them manually, by checking boxes, or automatically, by clicking on a button. I believe the automatic approach looks for keywords in your article. If you never added any tags to your article, I'm guessing that they were added automatically.
EDIT: I quickly looked at all your articles, and they all have tags. Some make sense, and others...

Thanks, I'll try that.
EDIT: I tried and seems hamsters are acting up again. Changed the tags for Stern-Brocot Trees and their Applications to "Algorithms" and "C++" making sure I don't press "Detact tags automatically". The end results is: "C++", "XML", "Objective-C", "Algorithm"

I'm afraid we don't have a Win32 section. It seems you have moved these articles now. Is their new section better?
Thanks,

Quote: I'm afraid we don't have a Win32 section Hmm, I see one under “Articles” > “Browse Topics” > “Desktop “Programming”.
EDIT Also, as explained in a previous message, the system seems to invent tags that I didn’t apply.

Ah, shame on me. I've moved those first two articles you mentioned into the Win32 section.
I'm afraid the incorrect tags is a known issue we are still working out the kinks on.

No worries, it’s not that important or urgent. Just post a message when it’s finished.

It's been a few years since I was active on Codeproject. And I've noticed a change, or it might just be a feeling. Is it so that people don't engage so much on other developers' work these days?
There used to be lots of comments on every new article.
I think that the feedback, and the discussions are one important drive to make developers share code and articles, anyway.
Take care!
