I found an item of Editor's Choice in the top page of CodeProject and I want to see its history. Can I get a list of Editor's Choice items?
CodeProject is really useful and helpful in our daily life and I really want to know more about good libraries, components, code tips and all in the huge knowledge base CodeProject provides. If I can see such a list, it will expand possibilities for our further usage of those articles in CodeProject.

The editors' choice articles are fairly random. Your best bet by far for looking for the best articles is the Top Articles[^] page.

Oh, it's random! I always see good articles in the editors' choice, so I thought some editors actually pick up one or two every week. Maybe that means the Code Project has a lot of good articles enough to choose at random, I guess. Anyway, thank you for your reply.

I just nearly voted an answer as Bad instead of Good as I went to the right hand side where 5 would be.
e.g.
Low High
1 2 3 4 5
High Low
Good Answer|Bad Answer

Haha, I nearly reported this myself just yesterday.
Oops, I meant

That was done specifically because members were expecting "good" to come before "bad".

Have you considered that? I sometimes see that on surveys and such when rating performance (I suppose they hope one will be more inclined to choose a more positive response because it is the first option the user reads).

In order to really confuse people?
Um - no

I know this was reported the other day but it seems this intermittent one has bitten me.
Attempting to post a resonably long message to the C# forum (W7 32 bit, IE8 compat mode off), it failed to post but no error message. Just a blank page. IE8 source shows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

It looks like we may have tracked the problem down. A server started playing up a few days ago and over the last couple of days has been getting worse and worse. This morning it finally died and has been removed from the cluster.
If you see the issue again please let me know immediately. Email me so I can get a local time datestamp.

Might have been before the server died, but it looks like this happened to somebody else while posting an article. They posted this in the Lounge:
Tomz_KV wrote: I tried to submit an new article. The uploads for images were ok. But I could not submit the article. After finishing composing it, click publish button, a blank page came out. I waited for a while but no change. I tried to view the article but no content in it. I lost all the content entered (images are stitll there). I re-compose the article (editing mood this time), but lost again after submission. I was not smart enough to save the html on my machine. Before I am going to try for the third time, I post a message here to see if anyone else notice the problem. It could be just me. Thanks,
I would have just linked to it, but the message was deleted by the OP. You can find it here.

This was also happening to me. It just happened like 4 hours ago while I was trying to update a still unpublished article. I was feeling that the site was a bit unstable, so before clicking submit I had copied the contents of the article to the clipboard. The best decision I could have made, since I ended up in a blank page. I don't know if its related to this dead server, but the article submission wizard has been a bit unstable at least for me.

You would have posted right on the time a database backup was being done. How soon after you saw the problem did you post your message? I'll check the logs for exactly that time to see if anything showed up.

By the way, for the last 10 minutes I was trying to post a new (longish) message here on the bugs forum (http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3589255/Submission-dates.aspx) but in about 5 attempts all I got was a blank page...

Chris,
I just got slapped by a user for politely asking him not to cross post. Fair enough i can take it.
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3587027/Re-Settimeout-problem.aspx[^]
It then dawned on me that the forum in question has only the "How to answer" sticky, and not the "how to ask a question" one, i checked some of the other programming forums and they are the same.
Think the forums need checking to make sure they have the 2 relevant "How to" sticky messages at the top of each of them.
[Edit: I notice the Java Forum has a combined "Forum Guidelines" sticky, this would be good to have as a standard across the programming forums]

My answer here[^] shows a vote of 5 but also status of deleted. Since I did not delete it I wonder can I discover who did, and perhaps aske them why?
It's time for a new signature.

Mine shows as deleted too. Most likely, the question (along with the answers) was deleted, or so I would guess. People who ask questions sometimes do this because they have their answer and don't want their question to be on display anymore. Or maybe somebody thought the question was dumb so they deleted it. In any event, the question should probably not have been deleted.

a simple experiment led me to believe an enquirer (author of the original question) can delete any answer; such power however might be reserved to people of sufficient colorfulness and repute, I can't check that easily.
