Hello,
When we submit an article without publishing it (i.e. marking the "Work in progress" check box), the article will keep the submission date as the "first posted" date, even if it has not been made public. In my opinion, it would be better if the "first posted" date reflected the actual date the article was first published, not posted. I guess the "Last 10 updates" box in the home page should also list those "submitted previously but only published now" articles as "(new)", and not as "(updated)".
If this is the intended behavior and if those dates are used to decide which article is eligible to join a monthly competition, then this is a bit unfair. For example, articles which have been first publicly published on September but which have a "first posted" date of January wouldn't be able to participate in the September competition...
I used to think that CP would work the other way, setting the first posted date to the first publication date once an article is published, but I have just confirmed this is not the case in my previous submissions.
Best regards,
César

Well, I see some people voted the question up, but no replies yet... Is there anything wrong with the suggestion?
Cheers,

No, there's a problem with the number of hours in the day.
It's a fine suggestion and I apologise for not being able to reply sooner. It's been one of those days.

I deleted a question earlier today (it deserved to be deleted so...) and noticed that the delete happens right after clicking 'Delete', there is no follow up question 'Are you sure you want to do this...'.
Isn't this kind of dangerous, I realize that the people with delete rights are a bit more than average users but since the 'delete' button is right next to the 'improve question' button a small slip of the mouse can delete a question while the user simply wanted to edit it.

Christian has been bugging me to fix this and so hopefully in the next week or so it will be done

I don't know if it is just me, but codeproject seems to be a bit slow to respond yesterday and today. Don't know if the hamsters are needing fed.
[Edit: I just did a check using Chrome tools; and it is taking 9.57seconds from the send request, to receive response [code ok: 200] when clicking a link to the lounge link  , that is a looong time in internet land! It then only takes 0.43 seconds to load the data and parse the content and display the page.]
[Edit 2: It appears to only be doing it with the lounge.]

cheers dave, i'll relax again.

Seems snappy enough for me

Try setting the "Date Filter" to "All". Using the filter has been an issue in the past. Probably a poorly optimized query.
|
|
|
|

It is set at all, the noise filter set to medium. But these things haven't changed, it just went slow.
I just did another chrome tools, and it took a whopping 17 seconds to display the page. And it is only the lounge that seems affected.

I found an item of Editor's Choice in the top page of CodeProject and I want to see its history. Can I get a list of Editor's Choice items?
CodeProject is really useful and helpful in our daily life and I really want to know more about good libraries, components, code tips and all in the huge knowledge base CodeProject provides. If I can see such a list, it will expand possibilities for our further usage of those articles in CodeProject.

The editors' choice articles are fairly random. Your best bet by far for looking for the best articles is the Top Articles[^] page.

Oh, it's random! I always see good articles in the editors' choice, so I thought some editors actually pick up one or two every week. Maybe that means the Code Project has a lot of good articles enough to choose at random, I guess. Anyway, thank you for your reply.

I just nearly voted an answer as Bad instead of Good as I went to the right hand side where 5 would be.
e.g.
Low High
1 2 3 4 5

Haha, I nearly reported this myself just yesterday. 
Oops, I meant

That was done specifically because members were expecting "good" to come before "bad".

Have you considered that? I sometimes see that on surveys and such when rating performance (I suppose they hope one will be more inclined to choose a more positive response because it is the first option the user reads).

In order to really confuse people?
Um - no

I know this was reported the other day but it seems this intermittent one has bitten me.
Attempting to post a resonably long message to the C# forum (W7 32 bit, IE8 compat mode off), it failed to post but no error message. Just a blank page. IE8 source shows:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

It looks like we may have tracked the problem down. A server started playing up a few days ago and over the last couple of days has been getting worse and worse. This morning it finally died and has been removed from the cluster.
If you see the issue again please let me know immediately. Email me so I can get a local time datestamp.

Might have been before the server died, but it looks like this happened to somebody else while posting an article. They posted this in the Lounge:
Tomz_KV wrote: I tried to submit an new article. The uploads for images were ok. But I could not submit the article. After finishing composing it, click publish button, a blank page came out. I waited for a while but no change. I tried to view the article but no content in it. I lost all the content entered (images are stitll there). I re-compose the article (editing mood this time), but lost again after submission. I was not smart enough to save the html on my machine. Before I am going to try for the third time, I post a message here to see if anyone else notice the problem. It could be just me. Thanks,
I would have just linked to it, but the message was deleted by the OP. You can find it here.

This was also happening to me. It just happened like 4 hours ago while I was trying to update a still unpublished article. I was feeling that the site was a bit unstable, so before clicking submit I had copied the contents of the article to the clipboard. The best decision I could have made, since I ended up in a blank page. I don't know if its related to this dead server, but the article submission wizard has been a bit unstable at least for me.
