Deleted article still accessible

[Smithers Jones]

I commented an (crappy) article that has been deleted shortly afterwards. When I use the "messages posted"-link in my profile to show my comment, I still have access to that article: This is the link to my comment: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/FormatColorDialog.aspx?msg=2503697[^]

If I remember correctly, it's marked for deletion but not physically deleted in case it needs to be restored. Not sure what the policy for it is, though.

You can see it, but no one else can

Chris, I am still able to see that gentleman's article. I am having a similar issue with my own article.

Hmm, are you sure? I signed out, but when trying to access my comment to this article via my profile, the article is still displayed . Norm.net did answer to my comment at this article and via his profile I have access on that article too.

Pretty sure. Your "deleted" article has 6 screen shots and a lot of oriental symbols, correct?

Sorry Pero, I was answering to Chris Maunder's comment, that I should be the only one to see the article. It's not my article btw, I was just blustering about it being a pile of crap in a comment.

I'm sure it's meant to be like I said. I'm not sure it's listening to me. I will add this to the bug list
