I've forwarded it to the publishing company to see if he's legit, but I'll let you know.
If he's legit, he doesn't reflect well on the company.

I'd appreciate being cc'd. That's impolite at best.

Apparently he's legit, but not a good representative. On the other hand, neither is Ted:

Hi Piebald, I am writing you as a review editor with Manning Publications. I would like to discuss a review of one or more of our manuscripts related to software development with .NET. If you're interested, please send me your email address.

Haha, this guy contacted me via CP and a Google search led me here. At least he seems to be doing targetted messages. He contacted me regarding "ASP.NET" rather than "software development with .NET".
This is not the age of reason, this is the age of flummery, and the day of the devious approach. Reason’s gone into the backrooms where it works to devise means by which people can be induced to emote in the desired direction.

He's trying to find book reviewers. He got in touch with me through Codeplex - I had to admire his persistence, he had to create other accounts and follow links to get to me. It looks legitimate.

Legitimate but unacceptable. Harassing members is impolite.

Maybe this has been asked before, but I thought it would be really cool to have a forum, separate from the Lounge / SoapBox / programming forums / etc, where each article in the daily newsletter could have its own thread for discussion. Some people start threads in the Lounge to discuss stories, but it would be cool if they were separate and searchable. I know for most stories a user can post a comment to the original, but I like my fellow CPians, and sometimes don't want to sort through the flood of fanboi and troll comments that end up on the original story's comment threads.

I prefer the discussions to be in the lounge. Splintering too much just means no one can find them.

Hi,
One of my recent articles (ie Advanced using OData in .NET: WCF Data Services[^]) didn't get the link 'Download source' pointing to the source code associated to the article.
I never put it myself before and a more recent article (from me) has it, so... is it something that is supposed to be put automatically by the site?
If not, is there a quick procedure explaining how I could do it myself?
Cheers,
Vincent-Philippe Lauzon

I noticed this in the QA forums (not sure if it's more general than that). But white spaces (blank lines) in pre-blocks are stripped off when you submit the post. This is quite annoying. In some cases I manually entered //... comments to artificially create white-space, but it's hard to do that for every code snippet I post here.

Is there a specific post you can point me to? I've been testing locally and can't replicate it but it has been reported before so maybe a specific sample will help me isolate it faster.

The bug strips off the white-space prior to saving. So even if I point you to an example post, when you edit it, you'll not see my original post.
But the problem exists in this forum too (and any other forum too I guess). Here's an example:
namespace Example
{
static void Main()
{
Employee emp1 = new Employee()
{
Id = 1,
FullName = "Joe Smith",
HoursWorked = 10
};
Employee emp2 = new Employee()
{
Id = 2,
FullName = "Sally Brown",
HoursWorked = 11
};
}
}
}
namespace Example
{
static void Main()
{
Employee emp1 = new Employee()
{
Id = 1,
FullName = "Joe Smith",
HoursWorked = 10
};
Employee emp2 = new Employee()
{
Id = 2,
FullName = "Sally Brown",
HoursWorked = 11
};
}
}
}
I have two examples here. In the first one I used a newline which the site will strip away resulting in ugly code. In the 2nd one I added a dummy //... comment to act as my newline.

Which browser are you using? I am seeing the blank line nicely in Chrome, FF4, IE9, Opera, Safari.
Update: OK, I see it in IE8. It's a standards issue then. Thanks IE. No, really.

Yeah but this is a recent problem, so what did you change that broke it in IE8?

Okay, one difference between QA and normal forums.
In QA, if I post a code snippet with white space, the white space is removed on saving. So when I edit/improve it, I see the white-space removed version.
In these forums, the white space does not render in the browser, but when I edit the post, I see my original code with the white space.
Not sure if this helps you figure out the problem but thought I'd mention it.

As far as I can tell the issue is with the way IE handles the white-space style. In IE7 and below it collapses adjacent newlines into a single newline (similar to how it collapses adjacent spaces into 1), but in IE9 it respects newlines.
The only way I can get it to keep the blank line in IE8 is to use the tried and true method of just inserting a single space on the line you want to keep as a blank line.
I'll take a look at the QA editor and see what's happening there. Maybe that will provide an extra clue.
