I see. How about the content of the article itself (which is the heart of the issue for me)?
I'm seeing people applying a "license" to the content of the article, what I suggest is that any source code or working application that accompany the article in zip files or as downloads be licensed, but surely we are not talking about licensing the concept or wording in the article or small snippets of code that are traditionally pasted into the article text?

Sorry, I didn't catch that it was content, not downloads, that were the issue. Downloads will definitely be the target of licencing. Articles? They will be governed by Terms of Use of the site itself.

That might need to be made a little clearer to some.
|
|

Steps to reproduce:
1. Change View to Thread View.
2. Click on message that has some replies.
3. Click on View the other X messages in this thread.
4. Click on Next (under orange header).
5. What you will see is a page with no messages.

Thanks for that. Will add to list

Steps to reproduce:
1. Change View to Thread View.
2. Next to New Message you will see "Msgs 1 to 25 of N" (assuming you are on first page, and have "Per Page" set to 25).
3. Click on message 25 (last message).
4. Assuming it has several replies, click on View the other X messages in this thread.
5. Next to New Message you will see "Msgs 23 to 47 of N".
6. What is displayed are a few message threads from halfway down the next page.
I have not tried this in other forums.

Sometime in the next month or so, i'll be updating CPhog. Among other things, the next version will allow in-place loading of threads from the thread view - including threads longer than 50 messages.
Of course, knowing that doesn't do you a bit of good right now... i guess i just wanted to brag about how much the thread view rocks for me.

Hi All,
I recenlty read an article which spent more time discussing the motivation for sharing the knowledge, than explaining the sample code. Taking from the article:
Here are a few notes on the implementation ... So anyway enough already take a look at the attached code.
At this point, I'm not sure if it is worth downloading.
Would it be possible to have two areas: one for articles, and one for sample code? I know it's late in the game for the request, but I make a very clear distinction between the two. The editors could perform the classification.
So, modifying the system: An 'unedited reader comment' takes one of two paths: 1) Article, or 2) Sample Code. As with the redesign, each can be edited, but cannot be relclassified (unless by Code Project staff).

The voting links (1 through 5) are really close to the report spam or abuse links.
A little more room between them can mean the difference between a 5 vote and a report spam...

Except there is a confirmation message for Spam and Abuse (as has been stated sooo many times before).

yeah, I never have reported spam before, so excuse me.

It'd be nice if the script to upload the image from your profile returned an error message saying if the image was too big (dimension or file size wise) rather than just saying: Oops  .
I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

It would be even nicer if it just re-sized the image as necessary.

And the nicest would be if it asked you if you wanted it to resize the image for you.

Yes, that would make sense if I had selected "All Topics", but as I mentioned, I had selected "MFC/C++", so I do not understand why it does not show up. Isn't the "Last 10" displayed on the basis of date, according to the category selected? Or is there some other filter criteria?
Best wishes,
Hans

Yes, you are right there. His article is 9th in the MFC/C++ only list, but it doesn't come up on the front page when I set the tab to MFC/C++. That is odd. Possibly a bug.

I propose that a new style of article be implementing in the style of a wiki that everyone can collaborate on and add entries to.
Sub categories, aside from programming articles would be things like a wiki on "Tools" for programmers, "hardware" etc.
I forsee this resulting in a nice centralized location for an up to date resource which would answer those many frequently asked questions in the lounge regarding hardware and software.
From the article side it would encourage everyone to contribute small pieces of knowledge solving the "snippet" short article conundrum that has faced us lately where things that are too small to be a full article are not posted.
As well it would encourage people who wouldn't normally write a full article to contribute a small key peice of knowledge.
Guidelines for the scope of the overall wiki style article would need to be in place to confine each to a specific area of interest.

Thats a good idea. The original author should be informed of the proposed changes and he/she can let them through, or he/she can just select a check box signifying that it is editable without consent of each little change.

I agree it's a good idea but given the trouble recently with "spammers" and garbage articles it'd be quite a hassle to control. Just my thoughts the people who could moderate over them often don't have enough time to.

Great idea! I like the idea of "wiki" based programming. Then articles/code could evolve by everyone helping out. It would also be nice to have versioning so that a person can travel back in the article/code history and obtain earlier versions if they desire.

I am very curious to see what was written in the [message deleted] posts, especially when there are angry replies. You should just delete everything including the replies because the curiosity kills me.
