If your article is still unedited then there is 'Delete' button but once the article is edited and moved to appropriate section there is "Get Article's HTML" button only

This is half-question, half-suggestion.
What tools and standards can be used for article authoring. To me, it was extremely tedious to have to format my article as HTML after having written it in Word.
Why can't I use standards like docbook or even Word 2007's XML format to submit my article? That would allow me author my article in any docbook editor or Word 2007 and not have to go through the tedium and error-prone translation process.
Thoughts?

Hi,
I use Visual Studio 7.1 to edit CP articles (starting of as HTML documents): it
can show it both in "Design" view and in "HTML" view.
I tried to do the same in Studio 8.0 C# Epress Edition, which I use for software
development, but failed to figure it out.
You could ask Word to create HTML but it would make a mess, and the CP editors
would not like that.

- make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/...
- show exceptions with ToString() to see all information
- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

If you've written it in word then just copy and paste it into the online editor. The editor will strip out the Word junk and (hopefully) leave you with a decent article. There is also a little "Word" icon you can click to strip out Word HTML.
The trick here is to make sure you use heading 1, heading 2 etc in word instead of excessive styles.

Sometimes (randomly) in the latest safari, the "Post Message" button reads "Set Options". However, if you click on it, it still posts the message.

I'll have a word with Steve and see if he can do a quick patch.

This is getting seriously crazy lately. I've seen endless posts on what bug tracking software people recommend, what anti virus they recommend and on and on and on. We need a wiki style area where we can all make comments on what software or hardware or brand of chili sauce we use and a nice easy url to point people at it.
The lounge and other boards are starting to look like FAQ factories.

It's going to happen. We just need to get the new release out the door then we can move on to important stuff like this.

How soon can we expect the new rewritten site? I am just curious.

Hello,
I wanted to suggest to add sorting capabilities to the 'My Bookmark' pages.. especially useful would be sorting by 'date added'. For me, I have so many bookmarks and I usually add an article while on the move or when I don't have time to read the whole thing.. but, without a sorting by date finding the latest articles I added is a nightmare..
Other filtering/sorting criteria would be useful too however.. even a custom grouping feature, replacing the default code project categories.
In case these features are there already and I didn't see them for some reason, sorry, and can someone tell me where they are?

Perhaps for users with really long list of bookmarks, this should be a pretty good feature for them to manage the same.

When a particular link like First and Next are being clicked in Lounge, we get this type of URL:
http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?fr=176<big>&forumid=1159</big>
I feel the item in Bold and Red are not required if the URI is lounge.asp. Only if it is generic forums.asp then, we have to pass the forumid.
Extra unneeded querystrings just open up security holes and exceptions end up burdening the server with exceptions.

What?
I hope you never bother looking a the forum links after doing a search - the shock might kill you...

True Shog. Here is one sample URL with loads of querystrings:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?msg=2181077 &forumid=12076&XtraIDs=12076 &searchkw=C%23&sd=16+May+2007 &ed=14+Aug+2007&stype=1#xx2181077xx I have alternated between CODE and BIG tags for better understanding.
Actually in the URL sample I specified, the item that highlights red and emboldened is not required. Even when I remove that the page loads. Isn't it?

Vasudevan - I love it that you care so much but seriously: you have way too much time on your hands.

Have you considered that lounge.asp could redirect to forums.asp? I know that if this were the case that they could automatically include forumid but if code is shared across pages then is it really worth the hassle of removing it?

I made a post with Ignore HTML tags option checked. Everything worked fine. I took Update message and turned it on. Message came correctly, but signature shown in text mode. It will be good if CP team can clear this.

In addition to Download code, it would be helpful if there was a View code button which would show a list of files in the source code bundle, and let users click on individual files to see the code. This would help users see how a particular task is done without downloading the entire solution.

It would really be a CPU intensive operation to unpack the zip files, show the files with syntax colorization.
Alongside, CP Team has to be step-up the security measures to ensure that the zip file is scanned for any viruses.
