Hi Jeff,
Jeffrey Walton wrote: The issue stems from moving articles To and From [useritems] and specific areas such as [cpp].
I may be mistaken, but isn't this one of the things that the CP editors do when they move an article? And if an article has been moved, and you use the (old) useritems link, don't you get a page that says "Did you mean this article? ..."?
I agree that having it all automated would be nice, but in the galactic scheme of things, I would not rank this very high IMHO.

Yes, but it is very unprofessional. It appears I did not care enough to provide proper links for the readers. Readers will beat me up, not the editors... Just my humble opinion.

Yes, editors are supposed to fix all links in the edited article, but they cannot really handle incoming links. Any article that was referring to the unedited article's URL will now be pointing to a non-existent URL. I think that's what Walton's talking about.

OK, I read it the other way. Checking caffeine level...yes, definitely low.

Some trackback utility should help right?

Yep... (Sorry to reply so late).

I've noticed that some bits of CP seem to be using a special "goto" page which seems to use a unique index for an article, perhaps if this was made more widely accessible then it would solve this. (I think it was when I clicked a link in one of the newsletters).

Hmm - good point. We probably need a PermaLink for articles. They don't get moved often (and soon, won't need to be moved at all) but it's a good idea just in case.

The posts are also bit old right, giving an illusion as whether the forum is supported at all. In a way, does it make it look like a haunted house in a dilapitated condition?

It´s strange but true.
I´m trying to update some of my personal settings and after clicking the save button it shows me again the old settings.

Hit Ctrl+F5 to force a refresh of the page.

It was not solved with the refresh. The problem was (is) that the registration page does not give error messages on all fields.
After scanning and opdating some of the field all went OKAY.

Typical web browser page caching in effect. My Internet Explorer is always set to 'Check on every visit' though it is a little burden on my network pipe but I get freshest fresh content delivered on every request to my desktop.
But for some reasons, my Mozilla FireFox is truant. It overrides my settings always.

Many article contributors choose to write and add to their article over a period of time. As a result, an article can drastically improve/worsen AFTER the article has been submitted and listed on codeproject. It would be nice if users could revote on an article after a change has been made. Right now, the current voting system doesn't allow votes to reflect current user's opinions on the article. I for one feel that this is unfair, and I hope that a small change could be made.;)

True.
Votes can be optionally reset for articles, may be with owner/moderator/admin intervention.

This is being added

Today I voted for a deleted message . Actually why should allow the user to vote for a deleted message ? I thin that is meaningless

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

[Deleted Message] In that case, hopefully it was a good vote

Deleting messages is a crap idea (except maybe in the most extreme cases). Censorship of any kind is abhorrent to most Americans.
Instead of *deleting* messages that get voted as abuse/spam, why don't you make it part of the "message score threshold? In other words, if a message is marked as abuse or spam, it is included in the 1.0 threshold level.
Next, the voting threshold should be MUCH higher than it currently is.
Finally, this "feature" should not even be implemented in the soapbox.
