I had a look at this [^] article and it's pretty much the same as this article[^] on developer.android.com, which I read last night. Now there might be a tiny chance, that the user sharanya09 wrote this article himself, but since he(or she?) is here for less than one month, and this article is the user's only contribution to CP so far, I pretty much have my doubts about that. Especially the part "because we've provided a great plugin that handles your project creation" in the introduction is a dead giveaway.

Wow - that seems to be a 1-to-1 copy/paste. Not sure what motivated the author to do this. I mean he/she's not using his fullname and does not even have a proper bio/profile. So it's not as if this is a resume boost.

Isn't there an Android competition on. Call me Captain Suspicious if you like, but this could well be the motive.

Yes, you are right.

Oh and I just checked the graphics in this article. They are hosted on developer.android.com.

I wrote an article a few years back that has since been edited by the code project team (formatting changes I believe) Customising the .NET Panel control[^].
Someone just posted that the download links are dead, and they are. I assume this is to do with the recent edits?
Can one of the team find the missing files please? Failing that I will see if I have a copy somewhere and send them in again.
[Edit] I posted here on advice, and got the answer posted back seconds later on the Articles Forum so please ignore this post.
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it.

There should be a "Reply" button so that people can get notifications that someone has replied to your comment. In fact, it might be a good idea to adopt the forum format so that threads can be started for an answer's comments.

QA just sucks. In order to support real cooperation and dialog, it needs everything the forums have. By reinventing the wheel all over again, in a step-by-step fashion and a less structured way, a lot of resources are wasted; and all this in a vain effort to get the ultimate answer to questions that quite often cannot be answered by a simple, let alone ultimate, answer.
QA is more than adequate for the simplest of questions; and insufficient for anything else. My vote is on the removal of the whole QA subsystem.

Or, to put it another way - let StackOverflow do what StackOverflow does best, and leave CP doing what CP does best.

I tend to not mention what needn't be mentioned, and I agree.

Yep - this has been suggested a few times and is high on our TODO list. Maybe not this week, but in the next couple of weeks hopefully.

It is still a fair question, what do you expect from your colon cleaning products?

I'd be worried when an associative mind like that were the first and only to react on an article of mine...

Fortunately, this is the second forum post on the article.

A year or so ago I created and used a second account (Luc 648011) and stopped using my regular one, to avoid some mail avalanches caused by some Insiders/Beta testers group members adding messages to the corresponding forums all the time, and each and every message being notified to all group members, making life hell. After a week or so, some fixes, and my resigning from one of those groups, the unwanted mails stopped and I reverted to my regular account. BTW: both accounts probably shared the same e-mail address.
The weird thing from then till now was whenever I visited a beta.cp.com page, it was showing "Luc 648011" as a user, and every visit to www.CP.com showed "Luc Pattyn", without me logging in or out at all. And I wasn't able to fix that. IIRC the "Save settings" for 648011 refused any change. I never reported this, as it seemed irrelevant.
The weird thing now is, out of the blue, it switched to "Luc 648011" all by itself; so the most recent message I created (this one[^] in Lounge) now is owned by an account I haven't used/touched for months. Logging out and logging back in as "Luc Pattyn" has put things straight, and now even beta.CP.com pages retain my account name.
All this using a single computer, no virtual stuff, no spirits, and nothing illegal.
Mind you, I'm not complaining, just not understanding what the heck just happened, and why now.
PS: I'm a bit anxious I've gotten early symptoms of Grausitis.

FWIW: the double-edit-after-5-minutes-invades-sig bug is still alive.

It's still on the bug list, too.

Previously I was storing cookies without setting a domain name, meaning that cookies on beta.codeproject.com were treated differently than cookies on www.codeproject.com. I changed this and added the "codeproject.com" domain to cookies, meaning that cookies are now shared among all servers in the codeproject.com domain.
However, older, domainless cookies, still had to be honoure so there's been a period of weirdness and cookie confusion. I've tried to ensure that old cookies are removed, once identified, but things slip through and sometimes the cookies you ask for, or set, don't always work (or get set) as one would hope. I also still have "if an older cookie is found, then..." type code in the system and will phase this out. The only side effect of this will be that those who haven't visited in many, many months may need to log back in manually, and those who have settings that rely on cookies may need to re-set those settings.
As to why it happened for you today: no idea. Your browser seems to have finally given up that cookies I've been asking for for 6 weeks.

Thanks Chris. I'm at peace with it.
It would be nice if FF3.0 would show creation and modification datetimes for cookies. That way I could manually remove the ones older than a given date.

article approval seems not to yield rep points, not to the author (unless he is getting his author points only then, I don't know), and not to the approver. is this by design or by oversight?
