Hi all,
In the mentioned page (http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ArticleModifyRequest.aspx[^]), it is suggested to use gif/jpeg and file size as small as possible.
As most of images included in articles are screenshots, I would suggest:
- For screenshots (dialogs), use PNG, it has 100% quality and great compression for flat color areas.
- For photos or dialogs with photos, use JPG, it will compress better.
I would not recommend GIF. A standard GIF palette will produce noticeable color dithering.Best regards,
Jaime.

When I open the link that he provided it give me an error: Article ID must be provided
|
|
|
|
|
| That's because he's telling me the specific page, not a specific item. cheers,

These are old, old (circa 2000) recommendations. I will update.
However, I use ACDSee for GIF compression and it's fantastic. Very few colour artefacts.cheers,

I tried to edit an article I just posted, and it won't let me scroll all the way to the end of the article in the editor pane.
EDIT ========================
It also appears to have cut off the end of the article..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

The editor page was providing a subtle hint: your article is way too long. If you can't tell it all in a reasonably sized article, are you sure you really understand the subject?

I think it's more like a shock to the system. It actually *is* a reasonably sized article. The problem is that so many short non-articles have been posted as articles, the system thinks that they must be representative of an appropriate size..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

For quite some time now, "step 3 of 4" of the Article Submission Wizzard states: "Article must be 100 words or more." The standards have dropped so much your article for sure must be shocking.
Of course the 100 limit is completely ridiculous, the boiler plate text is more than 100 words!

I'm going to need a hint here.
Let's start with the URL to your article and which browser you're on.cheers,

Sorry about that - I was just reporting a problem with the editor and it never occurred to me that you'd need a link to the article itself. I think Luc provided it though. .45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

This post has a subject line that ends with a special character... all the replies seem to have that character HTML encoded (or double encoded).

yep. the same happened to me here[^], I went back in to edit my reply for that very reason.

This post is both offensive and racist:
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3359051/Re-%d8%b3.aspx[^]
The message body:
" اللعنة عليك العربية نتن"
Translates to "Arab F*** you stink"
I think this guy should be banned, quite fankly.Cpianism: I have a negative number in my Rep so please fix it.
Chris Maunder: That isn't a bug.

Man points for finding that!
I am of the opinion that ignorance must be dispelled, stupidity disparaged and racism excised.

I'm trying [not very hard] to learn Arabic, so if I see something I don't recognise I put it through Google.

So what you're really saying is you first learnt all the swear words?

Hello,
For each article, codeproject maintains a history of the previous versions ("Revision") and anybody can have a look at the previous article versions. However, it seems that there's no way to download the source code of the previous versions (a "Page not found" error is shown).
