How long does it take?

How long does it take for your article to get "edited" and not have that blue background at the top anymore. I am just tired of it being an "Unedited" project. Thanks for any help you can give in this matter.

A long time. Have you seen how many 'unedited reader contributions' there are? Alot. Im not certain how they decide which articles to check first, or if its just the first article to get posted gets edited first, but either way, it could be a while.
My current favourite word is: Waffle Cheese is still good though.

You should put this in the General Discussion forum, or better yet, email Chris and see what happens. With the volume of articles that get submitted, some fall through the cracks.

For a start, you need to ask in the appropriate forum. Don't just randomly pick one and hope for the best. Chris generally receives details from the Suggestions forum, so that's the best place to be.

To be nice ... I didnt just pick a forum at random. Since I wrote a C# article I posted it in here. I figured I would get some help from here instead of a smart mouth. Ive been wrong before and looks like I was again.

You did get help. You just chose to ignore it. If you take the time to look around this site, you will see that there is a Suggestions forum - and Chris receives notifications when anybody posts to this forum. The sheer volume of posts means that it's impractical for him to monitor every forum - hence my comment about picking the appropriate forum. Look at it this way - would you crosspost this question if your article had been about C#, Vista and SQL Server? No - I thought not.

Just work on your presentation skills. You strike me as rude in the delivery of your "help".

Oh dear - I'm so sorry if I offended you. Listen, I answer approximately 50 calls for help a day. I don't have time to handcraft an essay for you. I give you the information, and then it's up to you to actually do some work. That's not my job - it's yours. Tell you what - if I offend you that much, I won't bother with you in the future. Then we're both happy.

That would be great. Dont "help" me again. You make it out like I wanted you to do the work for me...which is completely retarded.

Errm. How did you make that out? What moronic planet are you inhabiting?

No - I didn't. You asked a question and I answered it. You then started a flame because you didn't like my "tone". Geez - get over yourself. BTW - I had a look at the article in question, and while it was interesting I was going to offer a couple of helpful pointers, but I guess you don't need any help so I won't bother, but here's a hint - look at making it less monolithic.

No - I started to correct you on your blunt delivery. Help is always appreciated, even constructive criticism. Look there is no reason to argue on here its retarded. If you want to help fine if not then just ignore this conversation.

Do you honestly think that people have time to be obseqious and all nicey-nice.

And help is what you got. It isn't my fault that you chose to interpret it as blunt. Having reread my post, I don't actually see anything in it that could be chosen as anything other than help. Once you posted on the correct forum, I replied civilly.

but only once I posted in the "right" forum. You may not always see how you are blunt, and crude in your delivery but others may. Just because I pointed out a short-coming of yours, you dont have to get hostile. Thanks but no thanks for your help. I am done with this conversation.

That's in your opinion and your opinion only. There are reasons that people point you towards the correct forum and they have absolutely nothing to do with you. The reason that we don't have everything in one forum is so that people can easily find information on a particular topic. If you start mixing irrelevant things in, it becomes so much harder for others to separate the wheat from the chaff.

It ain't a shortcoming of mine that you're an oversensitive idiot.
