I am sorry.
Please advise.
The Enter key is pressed after ListView edit.
And I would like to move to a following line and column.

When I'm wondering if one of my favorite authors has published a new article that I haven't noticed on the CP start page it would be convenient to be able to sort his list of articles by date of publication.

I just approved an article and the approval-counter then displayed "1". Directly after that the article got published: SQLite CRUD operation using Entity Framework 7[^]

Simultaneously, behind the scenes, I published the article. I'm sneaky like that.

The "new solution" form in QA now has an additional header: "Describe the problem".
Shouldn't that be on the new question form instead?

Last time I have seen quite often what for me could be an issue.
Reported contributions where author got nuked and the article manually deleted by a protector, are still appearing as backup "auto draft" and give the possibility to continue "work on it" and being able to resurrect the item.
If you then delete the draft, the item is definitively gone.
Is it by design? Or maybe a bug?
Anyways I would suggest:
If author "don't exist" and item reported X times (a min number of reports)... if deleted by protector = definitive deletion including draft history / buffer
What do you think?

I love my daily newsletter. It's awesome. However, I'm still getting a weekly "Web Developer Newsletter" even though it's turned off in my profile under newsletters. The last one I received has this as the opening text, "Welcome to this week's Web Development newsletter from CodeProject." Is there another way to do this?
Thanks for the great newsletters and articles. They are interesting and start my day with a . Nice work!

Hmmm. It looks like it's still checked in the profile? You don't happen to have two accounts, do you?
I've unchecked it in this account.
Thanks,

That's strange. I guess it's possible that I have 2 accounts for the same email, but I was looking at the login name as well. Well, I appreciate you unchecking it and I'll follow up if I still get it. Thanks for the quick reply!!!

As a backup, please forward the last version of the Web Newsletter you received to me - sean@codeproject.com. I will take a peek.

I posted a problem about a missing image in my article here :
Bugs and Suggestions - CodeProject[^]
No one ever replied. Can someone look into this? The problem is still unresolved.
Thanks for any help.

Is it just unrio17.png? I can see it displayed when I look at the article.

Ok, I just looked at it again and you are right.
Hmm....
That is odd. When I checked the article earlier, I noticed the image didn't show.
Oh, well, it's not like these computer things are based upon science of any type.
Thanks for looking into it.

Because of a current occasion I want to repeat my suggestion from several month ago (which didn't get a response from the admins then):
If it's not intentional that the Moderator Forum is kind of hidden like it is I would suggest making it more visible (for the members with sufficient reputation). IMO it's near useless now. If it was more frequented already approved publications with issues could actually be reported by enough members to produce an improved revision.
In case you're concerned that publications could get reported unjustified because in contrast to member-reports in Spam&Abuse there's less of a clear cut measure, the right to post in that forum could require an even higher reputation than to read it.

Even if it's multiple hours since the message was first posted. Bug or intended?

Alright.
(I reported this some months ago already and at that time Chris deemed it a bug and changed it back so I thought it might be a bug again.)

At the moment there are three categories for articles. Tips/tricks, Articles and Technical blogs.
Considering the way many articles are constructed, there's a category missing: Howtos and Walkthroughs.
Or are they belonging to Tips/tricks? Then it's time for a rename/redefinition, there are lots of Howtos that end up as articles just because of the length.

I see the How-To and Walkthrough as Tip/Tricks and ask the users to consider changing the type.
If I get a "Why" it is long enough I answer...
Quote: A post can contain 2500 words but it still being a tip. I don't think it is a matter of length
The biggest difference for me is the learn effect. Let's suppose the same topic.
Option 1:
You just say click here, choose that, use this code, click there...
This is a tip, no matter how long.
Option 2:
You need to click here to choose the option X1, because that will set the property Y1 that you need to make Z1. If you prefer to do Z2, then you will need to use the property Y2. Once you have done this, you should see that... Once done with this you can use this code to implement the functionality XXX. The code itself will do YYYY (commenting things that are not obvious seeing the code). I made several tests before taking this approach, this was my best option because...
This would be an article.
I hope I could explain the differences in an easy way .

From the Submit a new Article[^] page:
Quote: What is an Article?
An article is typically either a tutorial that allows someone to learn about a technique or technology, or an explanation and documentation for code that you are uploading. Articles outline the problem you're trying to solve, the techniques you're using, and a simple explanation of how to use your code or techniques. Interesting gotcha's or trivia are always welcome.
What is a Tip/Trick?
A tip has the same layout as a regular article but is meant primarily to provide a quick coding solution or tip. Tips and Tricks are not as exhaustive or extensive, nor do they require as much detail as an article to explain a problem and its solution. Articles may be several pages long, but a tip might be only a couple of paragraphs. Tips simply state a problem and a solution.
This probably needs to be boiled down to:
Quote: Articles provide a discussion on a problem or piece of code.
A tip simply state a problem and a solution.
It's not about the length of the article or tip. It's about the intent.
cheers

When I ask if they can consider a change I give the links to both definitions (Article/Tip) of the FAQ and additionally the Link to "how to change to a tip" from the FAQ too.
Quote: Have you consider to post this as a tip?
I think it would fit better that category. For more information about the types please read:
Code Project Article FAQ - Article[^]
Code Project Article FAQ - Tip[^]
If you need information about how to change your submission to a tip, please read:
Code Project Article FAQ - change to tip[^]

I have always found the name, Tip/Trick, a bit problematic as it's not really very descriptive of the intent.
"A tip simply state a problem and a solution" = Howto
And for the longer ones it becomes a Walkthrough.
So how about "Howtos and Walkthroughs"? Clear enough in itself?
Then make it default choice. So people need to actively choose to make it an article.
