<img> tags should probably have alt and title attributes, since FF uses title instead of alt for the tooltip (not sure which attribute IE looks at these days).

IE uses the ALT tag as the tooltip (what the TITLE should be) if no TITLE is provided. Personally I'd prefer if Firefox did the same because ALT and TITLE text are so often the same.

The ENtryLIb.net[^] banner is displaying on top of the dropdown menus in FF 2.
You know, every time I tried to win a bar-bet about being able to count to 1000 using my fingers I always got punched out when I reached 4....

OK. At least for me this isn't a pressing problem. It only showed up when doing a search, which is less than 1% of my use even before it only being the one banner is take into consideration.

Not sure if this is on the list, but it seems - after Snakefoot's experience - that it would be good to have 1) a way to submit an article, with the status "do not display", 2) a way to change the status from "displayed" to "do not display", and of course 3) a way to change status from "do not display" to "display".
This might make it easier for people to rework articles after the initial round of nitpicking comments.

The article moderation is used for that. If the article is absolutely not worthy, it will be summarily rejected. If the article is rejected, the author can always re-submit an improved version of it. Further, approval does not nullify the possibility of an initial round of nitpicking comments.

What if the article has been accepted, and the author wants to withdraw it while he makes some changes? Does the author have to delete the article?

The act of "reporting" the article votes it a 1 at the same time. As an article author, I certainly wouldn't want my article to start out publicly available with a dozen or so 1's.

No, that's only for messages. Reporting articles doesn't affect it's rating. We get a lot of 'I can't get the code to work' and 'Can you do my homework' messages in the Reporting system so we need to protect against that.

I'll add this to the TODO. We've got a 'suspended' status that we can use for this.
Also: the bug fix to allow authors to edit pending articles will be uploaded today or tomorrow.

Thanks! You might also think about having a "Article suspended by author" page similar to the "Page not found" page, so people will know why the article won't display. This assumes that the article will still be visible on chapter lists and searches.

Forgot to mention that we've added the ability to mark an item as 'In progress' so that it won't appear on the main site until it's ready

Hi ya
I'm working on an article about yet another CListCtrl 
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/list/CGridCtrlEx.aspx
I'm planning a series of articles, where I would discuss the different abilities of the CListCtrl. Some of the articles at codeproject covers some but not all corners about each topic (Tooltips, Sorting, Cell-navigation, etc.).
I had expected that I could create these articles, and work with them over a period of time before actually sending them to evaluation and to be published.
Now I see that my first draft has been sent for evaluation, and at the same time I have no option to modify the draft article.
- How do I mark an article that it is still in progress ?
- How do I modify an article under evaluation. It says there should be a "Modify" link i the top right corner, but I cannot see it ? (Using Firefox 2.0.0.14)
Thank you in advance
-Rolf
Btw. Good work with moving all the List Control articles from Combo & List Boxes to their proper location.

This is an excellent point. If there is in fact no way to modify an article under review, IMHO this should be fixed immediately. Otherwise, what would be the point of sending the review comments?
|
|

|

Thank you for approving my article, so it could be edited. I have stored the article locally and deleted it, since I prefer to have the complete article before publishing it.
Thank you for your help

There should be the Modify link at the top right. Previouly there wasn't but that bug should have been fixed 3 days ago. I'll double check and see what's going on.

It seems to me that some articles get '1' votes unfairly. Just an opinion, OK? When I see an article with a bunch of 5s, a few 1s and nothing in between (and no comments), it makes me wonder.
I SUSPECT that some members cast a lot of '1' votes for "less than honorable" reasons. Possibly out of spite or to lower the average relative to their own articles. I don't have any hard evidence, just a suspicion, but I wonder if anybody else has the same suspicion.
Does (or could) CodeProject attempt to detect members who vote mostly 1s? Maybe review some of the articles these people are voting on to see if there is any apparent justification or explanation? Maybe send them a gentle message suggesting they provide a comment when voting 1 on an article so the author can do better next time?

It should rather read as
