Fantastic, I'll just get IT to change around 3000 computers for you, how does that sound.
The point is, people often can't just change what software is installed on their PC.
I have no blog...

Please do not do anything for me. You may live with IE4 and Windows 98. But you can't do something as simple as a middle click though. My pity.

What? 3000? Oh my Gawd! That's a big number. I work for a Fortune 500, that employs over 100000 people. Almost 50% of us use a computer and we've got IE7 on Windows Vista or Windows XP, at the very least. There's a team for that, and they'll take care of it. It all depends on how you can manage stuff, I think.

I believe, some of the MSDN content follow this policy. The hyperlinks to non-MS networks also carry a small globe symbol indicating that the navigation would take the user away from the MS network.

If you are talking about integration of ads/new windows in CodeProject. Are you talking about something similar to how Krugle is set up: Krugle Results for: test[^]. Krugle arranges searches in tab pages that are managed by the site, it would be a drastic move/complex move for the codeproject, but their are some advantages/disadvantages.

No, nothing like that. Basically, just having the target="_blank" in the link attributes for links to external sites.

In the homepage of CodeProject, there are two junk articles 'Waiting for Approval'. They just indicate like
rgr authored by rylyty
f authored by rylyty
I have reported them but in the long run, can something be done to strengthen the Article Submission Wizard to prevent this sabotage from striking too very often.
Links:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/combobox/r.aspx[^]
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/clipboard/e.aspx[^]
The article submission wizar needs a CAPTCHA to thwart spambots from dropping sh*t all over.

a) This isn't an "acute" problem. This is the moderation trap working perfectly. The articles have been deleted.
b) Please remember the kid sister rule for general site areas.

I actually meant 'significant' or 'intense' issue. Does it convey a different meaning?

Thank you for clarifying. If that is the 'string' which has hurt, I would sincerely and deeply apologize for the same.
As a matter of fact, it is really irritating to see the folks from Kerala, India constantly trying to plagarize content and involve in 'Credit Theft' in more than one ways than one. That is the reason of the swift outburst of feelings. Sorry again, if I had hurt someone.

ReCaptcha[^] might be useful too, if this is an automated spammer.

I think putting a captcha on the Article Submission Wizard is an excellent idea. This idiot hit one of my articles, too, and the only reason (as far as I can see) is that it was on the CP front page. So I think there is a strong possibility this might be a bot.
|
|
|
|

You mean on the message posting page?
It's not a bot and unfortunately CAPTCHA would inconvenience tens of thousands of members for the sake of a single member.
I'm working on a system to just catch and remove it instead. We'll also look at what legal action we can take.

Maybe instead of blocking the IP - which can be proxied - the contents of the post should be checked for any of the sites the spammer lists. At the very least, any of the usual sites in his list could be replaced with the url of the CP error page.

I'm not sure what types of word filters CP has, but adding that domain so it wouldn't let them add a message that contains it would help. It used to be that the links were in his signature so I think he's running out of options.

Hi All,
When I tried to update one of my Article (unedited one), it gave me a error at upload new image page. Then I tried to upload it again, that time it took it in and proceed to edit article content page.. I edited the article and preview it.. all work well so far.. then I click on next button and it continuously prompt me an error as bellow
There was a problem creating your article.
The create directory failed due to an IO error on Web09.
But I saw the update being accepted when I close the edit page and freshly browse the article page
IE 6.0
Windows XP

Same thing just happened to me with a new article. I have emailed Chris.

The article should be fine - it's just a staging server that's being cantankerous. I've pulled it from production.
