I've added it to the bug list in any case.

While writing my last article: Native WPF 4 PropertyGrid[^], I tried to specify the Workflow Foundation (WF) category, but I just found WCF and WPF. I also found AppFabric, which is not the same as WF.
Best regards,
Jaime.

Hello Chris,
I mean a different feature.
It is related to the "Article Tags" you define for an article: a bunch of checkboxes in 5 columns.
In the "Technology" column, there is WPF, WCF and AppFabric, but not WF.
Best regards,
Jaime.

It's now there (in the "Topics" column. It will be moved soon)

Good catch.
It seems to be the same site; the home page is up-to-date, and article view counts for both URLs track each other. Did Chris take over DNS? is this a result of IPv4 running out of addresses?
To be continued, no doubt.

It's been around since 11th of Dec 09[^].
I don't reckon an official statement on this issue from a CP staff or Chris M until today .

Just a DNS thing.

Is there any way to get it straightened out? who is in charge of such things?

A guy named "Sparky", who's office is located in a converted Minuteman missile silo somewhere in the mid-western United States. Don't go looking for him because you won't find him. If he had a static IP address, it would be 0.0.0.1, and he's been down there since DARPA started the NIPRNet.

Thanks, John. I'll contact mister Sparky and tell him he should get his act together. If necessary I'll pay him a visit. My other sources have told me already that IP address, and some related ones, are located in Riverside,CA at (lat 33.9469, long -117.3960); with my special Google Earth plug-in I can see there's only four Minutemen at that location, so that wouldn't take long.

Straightened out? No. Worked around? Yes.

Wouldn't it be possible to detect the URL and redirect to codeproject.com?
|
|
|
|

I understood both http://digital-clipart.de/ and http://www.codeproject.com/ are already pointing to the same IP address, by some mistake in the .de DNS tables; so I would expect the German registrars should be made aware and asked to remove such definition.

Not specific to digital clipart, but anyone can point their domains to CP's IP address (for whatever reasons they have). So I was wondering if there could be code that would detect the URL, see if it's codeproject.com and if it's not, then redirect to codeproject.com.

Yes, and this code is already part of our system, but we have it turned off to give us some flexibility in other areas.
Easy enough to turn it back on...

as in someLetter.codeproject.com? where someLetter is some letter, Latin or Greek?
you might check there is codeproject.com in there, and show a mysterious error page when there isn't.
however, IMO all this is just curing symptoms, not fixing the cause of the German masquerade.

You cannot fix the cause. One reason people do it is for an improved google rank. Example, I register supercodefromspace.com and redirect it to CP's IP (via DNS). I post a few links around the web till Google picks on it, and I wait for Google to think that it's a mirror domain. My domain's page rank shoots up immediately, at which point, I set up a script/cgi so that any page request on my domain shows an ad or two. If I am smart I retain the CP page content and insert my ads all around the page. Lots of traffic, ads, and money. It's kinda parasitic but in a passive way since Chris and CP are not really affected. But it's still unethical and so the url-detection and redirect-to-regular-domain trick will prevent people from doing this.
|

|

Wow. I never looked at it in that way. So I would definitely check "codeprojec.com" is present in the URL before presenting the page content.
Thanks for the insight.

Or basically prevent people from accessing the site through other URLs.

Not in the bug list, but probably a repsot (as far as the bug goes, not the details mentioned here):
reading one of my T&T[^] once more, I discovered a lot of UL tags got added somehow, demoting some list items to a deeper nesting. I removed them manually (going from revision 25 to 26).

This bug has been fixed but not yet deployed. Hopefully we'll have this live in the next few days.

Thanks.
I'll revisit the T&T in a couple of days, as it still has some extraneous ULs.
BTW: have you considered showing a version number and build datetime, so we can see if and when you have deployed new stuff?
you then could say "will be fixed in version 3212".

At the very bottom of the page, under "Last Updated" you should see a version number.
