Re: Can't use CP independently on same network Michael Dunn30-Jul-04 9:59 Michael Dunn 30-Jul-04 9:59  Voting history is kept server-side and on a per-account basis, IIUC. I don't know how your IP addresses would affect that.

Re: Can't use CP independently on same network Krista Crawley-Archer30-Jul-04 14:30 Krista Crawley-Archer 30-Jul-04 14:30  The error message states something along the lines of "You can't vote twice from the same IP address" Krista "Who doesn't bend before the wind is mighty apt to break." Author Unknown Re: Can't use CP independently on same network Michael Dunn30-Jul-04 14:44 Michael Dunn 30-Jul-04 14:44  Ah, ok, I didn't know that the server looked at the IP address as well as the account. That's probably done to prevent one idiot from making dozens of accounts just to vote something up/down. When you set up a private internal network, all data going outside the network appears to come from the same IP address. That's just how NAT* works. The CP server can't know that VoteA and VoteB came from different computers on someone's private network. *Network Address Translation --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ ---- Laugh it up, fuzzball.

Yeah. Bummer I guess, but it's reality. Oh well. Thanks for the responses. Krista "Who doesn't bend before the wind is mighty apt to break."

The first person who votes is the only one who get's a say? Seems unrealistically limited if you want accurate voting. -- Peter Re: Can't use CP independently on same network Peter Ritchie9-Aug-04 9:02 Peter Ritchie 9-Aug-04 9:02  The current message is "You have already voted for this message." and does not occur if I try and vote from another account from the same machine (i.e. with the same IP address regardless of NAT/firewall). Do you still have this problem? Re: Can't use CP independently on same network Krista Crawley-Archer30-Jul-04 14:31 Krista Crawley-Archer 30-Jul-04 14:31  I should also mention that Tom and I are two completely different boxes and - shocking as it is for husband and wife - sometimes we have different opinions and want to vote differently Krista "Who doesn't bend before the wind is mighty apt to break."

Michael CP Blog [^] Article editors Michael P Butler30-Jul-04 1:36 Michael P Butler 30-Jul-04 1:36  Didn't each article used to display at bottom who the editor was? Was this changed because there are now official paid editors. I only ask because I can't believe this article[^] got through the editing process. Certainly not up to the high-standards I've come to expect from the CP editing team.

I do not mean to excuse my fault, but the backlog got big on me during the last couple of weeks with CP access issues and in my attempt to speed up things, I erred on the side of proper-filtering.

No need to apologize, it can't be an easy job and we all take shortcuts at some time Now that each article doesn't have the editor name at the bottom, how should we point out small errors in articles. (I saw an edited article with a orphaned paragraph tag). I'm sure it would be helpful to you and the rest of the editors if there was some mechanism for pointing out things that could do with being corrected).

If you want to report something about an article, it's best to email submit@codeproject.com which will forward to the active Articles Submission Manager. It's better than directly emailing the editor for that article, since he/she might not be an editor anymore - maybe that's why Chris removed the Editor's name from the article footer My take on gmail - Is gmail just a fashion statement?

That makes total sense, and I really should have guessed that myself. [Suggestion] I think it would be nicer and more user-friendly if the link was still on the bottom of the page, but rather than having the name of the editor the link should show a mail form that sends a mail to submit@codeproject.com. Getting a little more sophisticated, the mail that is auto-generated by the form could have an xml body that contained the articles reference number etc. An app could then auto-parse the recieved mail and build a to-do list of changes that need an editors attention. The system could then assign the task to an editor, and automatically notify them of required changes. Michael CP Blog [^] Re: Article editors Chris Maunder2-Aug-04 17:00 Chris Maunder 2-Aug-04 17:00  The best thing to do is send an email to submit@codeproject.com, or click the "Broken links?" link at the top left of each article (just under the title) [Edit: Didn't each article used to display at bottom who the editor was? Was this changed because there are now official paid editors. No - it was pulled because it wasn't deemed to be necessary, and not having it saved yet another database lookup. Merely my doing some house cleaning. If it's useful then it's 2 seconds work to put it back in. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: Article editors Michael P Butler2-Aug-04 22:25 Michael P Butler 2-Aug-04 22:25  Chris Maunder wrote: No - it was pulled because it wasn't deemed to be necessary, and not having it saved yet another database lookup.

Thanks for the response. Michael CP Blog [^] Re: Article editors Colin Angus Mackay3-Aug-04 8:38 Colin Angus Mackay 3-Aug-04 8:38  Maybe it would be possible just to add in the submit@codeproject.com link where the editor's name used to be and have an appropriate message attached so at least people can see where to send information regarding the editing of an article (say damaged tags, etc.) "If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him, for an investment in knowledge pays the best interest." -- Joseph E.

Access Speed lion30-Jul-04 0:31 lion 30-Jul-04 0:31  HELLO, I am in Germany, and i have a very fast internet connetion (TDLS), my question why Codeproject have a really slow access speed, many times is also not accessible at all, when need to load the Codeproject home page it's taka an ages, and i can only open one page per time or the hole Codeproject articles just blocks on my PC and never loads. the thing is that Codeproject is my favourite web place and i visit it each day, but if it will be so slow i will have to spot visiting every day, because the access speed make me crazy. Re: Access Speed Michael P Butler30-Jul-04 0:38 Michael P Butler 30-Jul-04 0:38  There have been some issues over the last few weeks but these all appear to be sorted now.

I couldn't access the site most of yesterday but today it seems to be running near perfectly. Are you having problems today? I'm sure one of the CP team will pop-up with a few questions later on today, when they wake up. Michael CP Blog [^] Re: Access Speed lion30-Jul-04 1:13 lion 30-Jul-04 1:13  today the connection is slow, not that much as yesterday, but still very slow, and i can load only one article in time, if i open two, both of them block and never open. even now when i click "Submit" button to post this message, it taka around one minute to send it, which is far too much for job like this. (Just for info, i don't have any problem with access speed on other sites, my connection speed i really fast, the problem is not in my connection or my provider)
