Article appears to be approved but is still pending

This might not be a bug. It might be me being an idiot, but there is currently 1 article pending approval. I went to approve it and there's no option for that, but 3 approvals already.

It still says pending, but with 3 approvals to publish shouldn't it be published?

And otherwise, shouldn't I have the option to mark it as approved?

Something seems amiss.

Not if you comented the article and landed after the redirecting to the previous version. It happens me more than I would like to do.

Go out to the home page, click on the moderation queue again on this article, then you should see the "aprove" again

In the meanwhile... it got approved:

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Strange, I thought you don't need to go through moderation?

This wasn't about my article, but someone else's I was trying to approve. And not a bug, just me being a goof.

What happened to my rep privileges?

Update: Also my article says approved by editor or trusted author when i navigate to it, but it's actually pending approval (shouldn't need to wait for that in my case) and it's not published.

Ever since this morning some of my comments are getting marked as spam and when I tried to update my article it told me it would have to go through the approval process. Given my rep points this shouldn't be happening, and has never happened to me before.

Can someone look into this? Thanks.

Site layout is normal for me now though. Progress!

Update: Site layout is borked again. Oops!

Home page layout broken?

Is it just me, or has the home page layout gone for a Burton again?

Edit: And now it's back to normal.

Edit: And now back to messed up. Not sure if it's a dodgy ad; a dodgy article title; a dodgy question title; or something else.

NB: All ad-blocking is disabled for CodeProject, so I have no idea where the "resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking" messages are coming from.

Smells to me like a CSS/JS caching issue.

Does the source code syntax highlighter support highlighting a subset of lines?

Nish Nishant27-Sep-23 10:07

Hey Chris / other CP staff,

I was wondering if there was a way to highlight a few lines from a source code block? A few WordPress plugins support it and it's quite handy when you want to call out modifications. The current alternative is to use line-numbers and then call that out (example : see lines 7 to 9).

Looks like there's a workaround for this, and it's one I had used 10+ years ago. Also, I did work on the original syntax coloring code 20-ish years ago, not sure if the current version has any remnants from those days though. The workaround is to use <span class='highlight'> inside the <pre> block.

Example

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Sup?");
    }
}

Hi Nish,

It's lovely to see you active on the site.

Every time I use <span class="hightlight"> in <pre> an article, it doesn't work. But if you let me know what part of your code you'd like highlighted in an article, I'd be happy to try again to see if this is still the case.

Thanks,

Thanks Sean. Yeah, after a bit of a break, I've resumed posting some content here.

I did get it working. The trick is to be minimalistic in using it. Just highlight a few specific lines. If there are line-breaks in between, that seems to mess it up.

Are .webp images finally accepted for publications? What about SVG?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov25-Sep-23 11:40

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov

25-Sep-23 11:40

Not only .webp files have a much better quality/size ratio, but they put to shame all those JPEGs, GIFs, and PNGs a long time ago, and .webp is de-facto Web standard.
In addition to that, they support animation, and I have good plans for that.

I remember that SVG raised the safety problem, but this problem is quite solvable.

So, what's the current status?

Thank you.
