I have just found the following typo in the article submission guidelines:
"The idea is to give the reader a clear of idea of the purpose of your code..."
There's one "of" too much.

Guys, I think that you should update the current article submission process. I understand that you have it the way it is to ensure quality control, but surely you could have this all happen online in the wizard without having to zip up and email changes to previously published articles. Frankly, it's a pain in the butt and when I get the momentary urge to make an update, then I think to myself about having to do the whole zipping up and emailing thing and I think... ahh can't be bothered right now.
Let's look at the facts. People these days are motivated by convenience. If you make this a convenient and super-quick process, you'll find people making updates much more often. You don't have to publish the changes straight away, just make it quick to log in, find your article, make some changes and submit the changes for approval. Upon approval, the article would be re-published. The current process is inconvenient. Sure, you can come back with "well don't be lazy" or something to that effect, but let's be realistic. If you improve the whole article submission/approval process for published articles, you're going to get a lot more people bothering to actually keep their articles up to date.
Easier process = more authors making updates. As a result, The Code Project's average quality of articles will increase. Help us busy people make spur-of-the-moment updates when it's on our mind and we have 5 minutes to blow without forcing us to stuff around just to make a minor update.

I found an article in my e-mail newsletter that I'd overlooked previously:
"Protecting application's unauthorized copy - Manish K. Agarwal
To protect your application's unauthorized copy by using image integrity functions (Platform SDK's ImageHlp APIs) and to manage certificates in a portable executable (PE) image file. (Unedited)"
It was posted in WIN32/SDK on 28 Nov 2005.
When I tried following the link included in the newsletter,
http://www.codeproject.com/article.asp?tag=6718472808938685[^]
it brought me to some other irrelevant stuff.
Furthermore, the search for articles by Manish K. Agarwal on Code Project returns zero results.
Any idea about what's going on?
Well, it is a SUGGESTION:
let the announced articles not disappear just like that!

I think you'll find the article here[^]. The article was probably moved after the email was produced. But I'm just guessing.
Incidentally, I found the article searching for the term 'unauthorized'. It was the first one on the list.

Code Project is a great resource and I save a lot of articles published in it.
The reader comments at the bottom can be very useful as well. I save the "Print" version of the page -- could reader comments be attached at the bottom of the page, and expanded, so that all posts and replies are visible at the same time?
Cheers, John.

I second this suggestion - it would be handy, at least as an option.
BTW, John - if you use FireFox, i have a work-around linked to in my signature (print forum). Requires printing the article twice (once for the article, again for the comments), but it's better than nothing.

And what happens when you are reading a very long post and deep in thought about how to respond and the server decides to refesh your browser? You have one pissed off user.

and how much you need to read a long post....10 min, 15 min
other suggestion...:
any new post messages on the same board you are showing....a notification appears tells you there is # of new posted message on this board....
so you can sleep while you are reading the long post message and in the same time you get acknowledge of the new messages....!!!!

I'm signed in to CodeProject all the time. However, I was doing a search on Google and the two results that were returned were identical, except one pointed to CodeProject.com while the other to TheCodeProject.com. It would seem that being logged in to the former does not automatically log you in to the latter. Can this be changed by modifying your cookies or do we actually have to remain logged in to both for it to be transparent?

cookies is associated with the domain name so i dont think it would work.

I thought not. Too bad.

it would probably work if www.thecodeproject.com redirects to www.codeproject.com instead of serving that domain.

How can I delete an account?

Instructions for removing yourself from maillist and managing your account can be found in the FAQ at www.codeproject.com/info/faq.asp

Yes, I saw that already, but removing one's self from all the newsletters doesn't necessarily remove your account, right?
|
|
|
|
|
The only thing you've ever done with the account is post these two messages here (and you can always delete those). So what's the big deal?

Well, I created a new account (not realizing I already had one from a while back); but considering your very rude response, it's a wonder how you keep visitors in the first place...
Sheez, excuse me for asking a question that clearly isn't in the FAQ (which I did read before even posting here).
With today's security being an issue, you'd think you would have the same functionality as every other opt-in web site that allows people to remove their accounts when no longer needed, instead of leaving them basically "active" but opting out of emails only.
