Article Writing

This is why we have the moderation queue. I'm sorry to say that no one reads instructions. This is a moderation problem, I'm sorry to say, not a signage issue. cheers Chris Maunder

Since noone here has posted this advice, which is actually not that astonishing in itself but since "here" is the "Article Writing" forum where a cpian such as myself, who has never "written" an article, can post feelings about articles and who doesn't know the whole story as a result. When an article goes into moderation for approval it recieves votes which on any given parametric pillar fall to either side of the post's approval space. To insure that the "article" (using that term in a general sense for "post") is published, always package along with the VERBOSE explanation of any code, a VS project that will compile and run as an executable on a Windows computer. Since I don't use any compiler other than VS and run an operating system other than Windows I can't speak for other venues delving into code.

For filenames you want to use <em> You can see a list of our formatting guidelines here: CodeProject Article FAQ - Part 2: How to Post an Article on CodeProject [^] Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

Can't you just add linecount="on" to the <pre> like you can in the forums and QA? <pre lang="Plain" linecount="on"> Line 1 Line 2 Etc. </pre> Line 1 Line 2 Etc. "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

Many thanks for replying. Yes, I tried many times answering... https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/727990/REGEX-for-validating-URL I tried at least 8 different times. The preview displayed perfectly, until I actually clicked the 'Post your solution'. After that, the text was auto-modded, this happenned irregardless of how many pre tags I experimented with. Im not sure what finally made the difference, I did change the default paste options. And then I just used the standard pre tag (not ASM,ASP,etc), and it posted just like the preview. Again, many thanks for the reply!

Much better, thanks. :) "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

It would be a little weird to share someone else's blog feed, then claim the first post that came through as your own. It would be the first time I've seen it. But to be safe, I've left a comment on the original blog post. Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

I suppose the issue is that the project would be removed. But, if you would like, I could create your readme article in a status that you could edit and improve into an article. Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

I did try to reason with him. I will try something else. Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject
