Just making sure my protest matched the scale of the problem; and it only took a few minutes to do. Had I been feeling more ambitious I'd've gone back to clean up the spacing of the W.

Is there any chance i can get the right to edit my own articles after they have been reviewed by a CP editor? (Like articles submitted using the sumbmission wizard) I'd like to be able to update them without having to mail changes to CP. Thats just way too much overhead. Writing a mail describing several sections to be changed is not a viable solution, downloading the articles html is'nt either because the formatting of retrieved html code is a mess. (somehow looks like it has been optimized for space) I could manually transform it into something thats actually readable in a text editor but once i publish it all the html source formatting is lost again.
you don't improve the overall article quality By stopping article owners from editing articles on their own. Occasionally i see typos, outdated description or thing like that in my own articles but the chances of me finding out the html source code line, setting up an e-mail and asking for this to be fixed are zero. If i had the article submission wizard (like for unedited user contributions) i would fix it instantly myself. The standard way of authors dealing with this is moving the page to another site and adding a single update to the CP page that telling that the project home page has now moved and the latest version is available at another location. Thats what i did in the past. I usually maintain the archives but the article texts are updated very rarely cause there is too much overhead involved.
CP is a great site and if i'm willing to contribute good articles in the future how can you help me maintain them on my own after they have been reviewed?

I know what you mean. It changed for me when I got to 5000 author rep points (i.e. gold) earlier this year; I can now continue to edit my articles through the wizard, i.e. the "Tasks" list in the header shows 3 options: Edit, Delete, Get Article's HTML.
At the time I wished it would be like that as soon as one reached silver. For one article (now at revision 10), I asked expressly to not edit it so I could continue to use the wizard while still a silver author.

Start by writing an interesting article on why you would need such money, and then, maybe, you'll be allowed to edit it ad nauseam.

Sure; first you need to write an article that generates 10x that in banner revenue for Chris....

Cool, thank you very much. This is going to make it easier.

Shows all forums as having new messages. In each forum shows all messages as new.
Also shows date of last visit as 5.00 1 Jan '00.
Probable cause not updating last visit time?

I will try and get a fix in place today.
Edit: can you try closing your browser and opening a new one and letting me know if the problem is still there? I'm trying to determine if it's a database issue (which it doesn't seem to be, based on initial checks) or a client side / cookie issue (most likely the case since we switched to domain cookies)

Bold Indicates new messages
After login, some times all the forums in left side are showing in bold. I don't think all the forums have new messages at a time, because i'm signing in CP everyday(almost) & also some forums(Get Togethers, Sales/Marketing, etc., ) doesn't have new messages. I have faced this today too.

Any one else observed that:
The notification for this message:
http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3548996/Re-iPad-Owners-Are-Selfish-Elites.aspx[^]
had the following subject:
W0NvZGVQcm9qZWN0XSBSZTogaVBhZCBPd25lcnMgQXJlIOKAmFNlbGZpc2ggRWxpdGVzLuKAmQ==
(Technically not Base64 but some kind of encoding).
I think it happened yesterday too but I was posting mainly in Hindi forums so I attributed it to lack of Hindi fonts.

Seems to be Base64 - probably MIME encoding. And could be because that post has a </br> closing tag in the signature. Not that it is incorrect, but maybe CP's parser cannot handle it? To test it, I have added a </br> tag at the end of this post.

Can you please forward me the notification email?
The message is from a Kiwi, so you can't really trust it to begin with.

There is a new Application Lifecycle forum. What puzzles me is it is categorized under General Programming, and not under Product Lifecycle.
BTW: I've always been puzzled by the Graphics forum being under Product Lifecycle.

An oversight.

We're not a designer-focussed site, but making your apps pretty and usable (not in that order) is an important step in creating a product.

Not quite sure what you mean here. If you intend to have a forum on Graphic Design, yes I would put that under Product Lifecycle I guess, but then you should provide a Graphics Programming forum too, as most questions right now in the Graphics forum are about drawing a rectangle, changing a color, cropping, what have you, mostly all programmer's questions, unrelated to design.

Should the SB+S menu item not be moved under HELP, rather than under the Programming Discussions section of the Q&A menu?
It would be more logical with relation to site content, and also help to shorten the Q&A menu further.
Also;
The Post a Question item under Help, where do those questions end up? or is this a duplicate of the Ask a Question under the Q&A menu.
