I could be mistaken, but I think that previously, your settings for the Search Article filter were remembered between sessions.
Now it doesn't look like they are anymore. Is that a change in CP or a problem with my browser (IE8)?
Quite irritating that I have to change the settings every time I have to do a search...
|
|
|
|
|
...and everyone else was being irritated that their preferences were being remembered!

I think I was being a tad unclear, I was thinking about this page:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/Latest.aspx[^]
I don't see why people should be irritated if these settings were remembered, but if that's the case, then maybe a personal setting could take care of that?

Currently a member's Your File Uploads page says this: Only JPG, GIF, PNG, ZIP, TXT, PDF, XML files allowed.
Please add BMP to list.
[Update: also ICO and AVI.]
Thanks!

Given that 3 perfectly good (and much smaller) file formats are supported, why would you need bmp?

1. Because bmp's are still used in Windows programming. In fact, if you look inside shell32.dll or any other Windows dll, you won't find anything else (well, maybe a few gifs).
2. Because it's a convenience. Why should I convert to another format when what I want to share is a bmp, and a bmp happens to be the most appropriate format? Members use their uploads area to share code, and the particular bmp I wanted to upload falls into that category.
3. Because I'm guessing it will be a two-line hack to add bmp's to the list.
4. Because I needed to upload a bmp file as an adjunct to my tip here: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/91717/Font-Type-Images.aspx[^]

BMP are uncompressed and we found that many, many authors were taking screenshots of their entire desktop and uploading 4MB bitmaps. Cutting off bitmaps immediately solved that problem. If you need to upload bmp's as downloads, then what about packing them in a zip?

So what? Every member has an absolute limit on the total size of their uploads. If they want to fill it with BMPs, that's up to them. It's ridiculous to think that people will abuse BMP but not PNG, JPG, or GIF.

That's what I had to do.

Apologies. I was focussing on the article uploads, not the member uploads.
So, the short answer is yes, I can do this. THe longer answer is: We've centralised the list of allowable uploads and making an exception for the member upload system is doable but a PITA.
I'll put it on the TODO, but it's not a high priority overall.

Whenever I choose Q&A from the main menu, I'm getting only three questions - all related to sales and marketing.
Any ideas? Is this a setting somewhere?
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

What do you see in the Filter box?
It's time for a new signature.
|
|
|
|

It was a filter issue. Thanks.

Check your filter setting.
On the QA section in the right bar there is a button 'Go' next to that is where you can set a filter.
It seems the filter gets saved (even if used on another part of the site) or something like that.

Yeah I did not know the filter gets saved. Thanks,

Not for us. Doubt this as a bug. Filter setting/preferences saved somewhere.

Hi, I'm having problems searching the Jobs site. When I search for simply C# in the Tags field it shows three results on page 1 of 3,238 pages. However, when I then click on the "2" for page 2 it says there are "No job postings". The same thing happens in IE8, Safari and Google Chrome. Does anyone else see this behaviour? Thanks, Henk.

+1
I searched for C# (in Keywords), got back 1 record on first page (with 1238 pages). When i click 'Next' or Page 2, i get 'No Job Postings were found...'
I doubt this has to do anything with browser, yet IE8, Web18.

While using the Article Submission Wizard I got
There was a problem creating your article.
The article contains too much text from the article template. Please remove lines such as
"(Optional) Is there any background to this article that may be useful" etc. that were in the original template.
Now I know for a fact there wasn't a single sentence that matched the boiler-plate text. Not even a single word. Not even a single letter. Huh? Yeah, while my article is still in "composing" state, I'm taking care of meta-data before entering text. The textbox was empty. There was nothing in it. Not a single letter. Yet "too much text from the template"?
PS: yes, occasionally I like to test the unexpected too.
PS/2: So I had to stuff some silly text in there in order to submit my meta-data changes!

Have a look at this[^] question.
The panel in the right side (with the Search, Filter, Tool etc. etc) is placed too high, so it goes above the banner and all the way to the white strip at the top, making it impossible to click the links there.
Happens on Firefox 3.6.6 (haven't checked on other browsers)
|
|
|
|
|
also on FF3.0.19
|
|
|
|
|
Well happens with me too... IE8
But only with this question... probably some HTML content in question or so.
|
|
|
|
|
This has been fixed.
