I think 'anything' for which you do not control source code and is not on CP website comes under 3rd party.

a) you can't write an article about your own product
b) the article has to be about software development, not about a service you sell to developers. It needs to show innovation around an existing product or tool, or show fixes for known issues.
AspDotNetDev wrote: I think it would be useful to create a how-to guide on how to install Umbraco, perhaps on various platforms and with mention of various pitfalls to watch out for. Would this be allowed?
This is the murkiest. Generally I'd say "no" since I would assume this info is on Umbarco's site. However, if Umbarco are completely hopeless and leaving their users lost at sea, and there's a demand for this info, then the answer is yes.
The third party page already has:
This section is for articles on third party products. This section is for the members only and must not be used to promote or advertise products in any way, shape or form.
The rules for posting articles here are simple:
- You must provide significant innovation and cannot simply be a how-to guide that would appear on the vendor's own help pages, or you must solve a significant problem common to users of the product or library.
- You must not post advertisements for the product, implicit or explicit. We are the final judges on this. There will be no mention of price, offers or coupons, upgrades, trials or anything that would induce or tempt a person to visit the third party site and download the product. This article is purely for those who already use the product.
- We reserve the right to replace any links to the product with search-engine unfriendly links. Articles must not be used to promote a product in any form, including SEO.
- Articles must be tagged "third-party"
- Articles must not be written by anyone associated with the company that writes the product. Self promotion is not allowed
We need more?

I have tried several times to vote a message in t'Lounge, each time I get the green Voting... message followed by "an error occurred".
The first time I tried to post this I got a "There was an error attempting to insert your message."
Trying again..........
Same second time.
Third time's a charm.

Rodential something, anyway.
I'm not surprised that they're ill though if they will try to insert messages. I suppose it depends on where they are trying to insert them?

There's a fair bit of maintenance going on right now so timeouts are going to be common for the next hour or so (or until I get bored whipping the hamsters)

See here[^]. Time for more non KSS comments in the javascript files I assume.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Not the javascript, in our C# code that converts plain text to HTML.
Plenty of scope for non-KSS comments there

Is the IE8 HTML special compared to what you serve up to all the decent browsers?
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18
|
|

|

Yes - it handles the clipboard different than the others.
And IE9 is just all bad.

I can't use the network at my job, so naturally I'm browsing CP from my iPhone. Here are some things I've noticed:
*Can't quote OP when making replies.
*I could only get to this forum by finding one of my recent messages posted here (i.e., clicking "Questions and Answers" brought me to the most recent questions rather than opening the menu).
*I saw a filter for forums on my recent message list. For some reason, "Site Bugs / Suggestions" was not in the drop down.
*While viewing my profile page, some of the content to the right of the page is cut off and I can't view it by scrolling or resizing.
If you need me to clarify any of that, let me know and I'll do so once I am using a real keyboard.

Nevermind on #3, that's actually a drop down for programming forums and Site Bugs / Suggestions is obviously not a programming forum.

I've just seen that you've disabled the delete link on a top level message when replies are associated with it. May I just say thanks for this much needed feature.

I second that. In fact I think I've worn Chris out on this one.

I guess, it's more than a month now!
Yet, I guess, appreciations too are better late than never.

Indeed - and as far as I can tell, I'm the first person to thank Chris and co for this. Just goes to show, doesn't it?
