I fixed it
It's possible you had an <a href> tag that didn't have an end, or it's also possible something went wrong inside the <pre> tags. Our article editor requires you to use HTML inside the <pre> blocks, so "<" as "<" etc.

When I try to download the Addin for Visual Studio, I get as far as clicking "I agree" and then get redirected to an error page, is the Addin still avaliable?

Would it be possible to have a guaranteed-not-to-change url to the CPOL?
Right now the CPOL resides at http://www.codeproject.com/info/cpol10.aspx[^]. I like to embed a link to the CPOL in the about box of my demo apps, some of which I don't touch for a long time, and so I don't know if the CPOL link embedded in my demo will still work in a few years.
Maybe you could make www.codeproject.com/info/cpol.aspx the "permanent" link, and it would always redirect to most recent version. There could be a Permalink button on the CPOL page, so people will know about permanent link.
Thanks!

Hey Hans,
Wouldn't it be safer to embed a copy of the CPOL as it is at the time you release the application? Because if you post a link to an online copy, the CPOL may change (as it has on a few occasions) and may no longer be what you wanted when you released the app. Of course it would be extremely unlikely that any major clause will be changed, but I am just wondering why you wouldn't want to just have a local copy (embedded text resource or something like that) of the CPOL.

Hi Nish,
Thanks for the reply.

If I didn't trust Chris not to screw it up, I would consider doing that. But I don't think Chris will do anything nasty to the CPOL.

The answer to this is that basically I am just too lazy, and I just want to link to it.

Of course, I don't think Chris would do anything nasty But I am just thinking of scenarios like someone using your code and their legal department approving the license used. Later on the CPOL changes in some way but that user is unaware of it and he continues using the code assuming he is covered by his legal department's approval. That's not true any more since your license has now automatically changed to the changed version of the CPOL.
I am not imagining these situations out of thin air either. I've had people email me and ask me to email them an express approval allowing them to use my code/classes/part of my article etc. in their applications. And often they ask me to specify a specific license (usually different from what the article is under, which in my case is usually CPOL).

Already there: http://www.codeproject.com/info/eula.aspx[^]
However, I can make this a generic "CPOL.aspx" and have all versions be under CPOL1.01.aspx (etc) if that helps.

I think it would be great to maintain historic versions (even if the changes are minor). So every time you change the text in some way, you update at least the minor version number.

I agree. Maybe use the same "Revision Tab" used for articles?

On the member drop down the items are 'My Articles', 'My Messages' etc. however on the left hand member profile menu, these items are 'Articles Submitted' and 'Messages Posted'. should these not be the same, and preferably follow the 'My' convention.
In addition to this, if i visit my Member Profile, then the Rep Graph and click the FAQ link, followed by;
Messages Posted : Gives me a Latest messages page and a drop down to select a forum.
Articles Submitted : Gives me a blank page with header; "Articles by gunjan dokania ()"

So, if you use cs as the language in your pre tag, the escape character doesn't escape double quotes.
By that I mean that if you write:
arrString[0] = arrString[0].Replace("\"",string.Empty);
or
string test = "something\"" + this + "\"something else"
it treats each double quote as starting or ending the current text section screwing up the coloring.

How feasible would it be to place a user limit on voting? As a real sledge hammer, you could restrict votes IN EITHER DIRECTION to 1 per 1,000 reps per day.
I'm somewhere around 28,000, so I earn 28 votes a day. That forces me to use them wisely and they become more meaningful.

And only a % of those 28 votes could be used for down-votes. Possibly 1/4 or 1/3.

That I don't know. Personally, I like the idea of having n votes per user that they can use any way they like.
Another site I used to faff around on had a similar system, but they restricted it that you couldn't vote on a thread you participated in. The idea being that if you psoted, you were involved and because you were involved any vote would be biased.

Slashdot does that, but I don't think that's an option on CP. Just look at the programming forums... If you post a question there, and someone answers, you need to be able to give them a 5. In the lounge, it's pretty common to '5' a post and reply with a thumbs up. Speaking of which...

I don't think that reasonable. All that would do is perpetuate the insidious practice of anonymous univoting. Just because someone has sopted doesn't necessarily mean they will be biased. I often tops in threads that I have no feelings about at all. In fact I am more likely to ptos in threads of that kind.
