There is also a long standing bug that has affected a few authors where downloads for one article were being counted towards a different article. We are still finalising the corrections to ensure accuracy since we don't want to do this twice. Once we're confident we have all the dots joined together we will run a full rep recalc.

In this answer just posted[^], I wanted to naturally use some indenting in body text (text not inside pre-tags). At the same time I certainly wanted to have global text as HTML option on (checked): so that pre-tag formatting would work.
In the body text, I found that there was no way to achieve indenting either through use of space characters, or through the use of the 'indent menu choice. Even tried indenting followed by 'untab: nope.
The only thing I found that worked was manually inserting the HTML code for a non-breaking space, two of them, at least, to achieve any real sense of indentation.
Is there an alternative I have missed somewhere in the QA editor that can let you indent body text easily ?
thanks, Bill

You could have used lists rather than manual numbering, like this:
- This is an item
- This is another item
- This is a subitem
- This is another subitem
- This is yet another item
- Ad nauseam ...

Hi Richard,
Yes, okay, even a medium-level HTML coder can "go downtown" like this, easily, but for most QA users this would be not only probably be outside their skills, distracting, and too much work, and also easily prone to errors.
We come on QA to get "down to business," not to practice HTML coding.
There is a much simpler solution which I've suggested in my response to Chris below.
best, Bill

your message gets stored as HTML, some tags may be refused by CP upon entry, what remains works as expected. So use PRE tags, or non-breaking spaces, or lists, or tables, or rely on the CSS styles that get included automatically...

Hi Chris, No I have never used "MarkDown," but will take a look at it, and evaluate it carefully.
Suggestions:
0. of course the simplest solution is to allow space or tab characters at the beginning of body-text lines.
else:
1. when treat text as HTML is enabled in QA answers, and body text (text outside pre-tags) is selected:
a. make hitting the 'indent menu choice add three non-breaking HTML space characters to the start of each line in the current selection.
b. make hitting the 'outdent menu choice remove three non-breaking HTML space characters for those lines in the current selection that begin with at least three of said characters.
Consider that: when only body-text is selected, that menu items which are not functional are greyed out.
Comment: I've always thought it was weird that there was no 'tab command to match the 'untab command, but if 'indent and 'outdent are implemented adequately, then I think there's no need for either 'tab or 'untab.
It's also strange that you can actually paste Tab characters into the editor window, and see the body text indent as expected, but they are, of course, ignored, if the message is treated as HTML.
best, Bill

I just got an email with the subject "CodeProject | Web Developer Newsletter - Does anyone actually like the Metro interface?"
Shouldn't that quote have been for the Daily News email (the one with a link to this message)?

I suspect magic. Or, perhaps, programming.

Aw, magic..
Without Mustrum Ridcully, how would this have been done without magic? The subject and time/date of the post cannot be the identifying item here, as it would have qualified as a new post.

I suspect a hash code is stored for each message body, then an index is placed on that hash code. When a new message is created, a hash can be created and it can be quickly looked up in the database. If a match is found for the hash, the message body corresponding to that hash can be compared against the new message body. If they match, it's a copy. In fact, SQL probably does all that hash magic under the covers for varchar fields, so I suspect there's no need to create a new field for it. Not really that mysterious.

Would be a good explanation, if the first post were actually posted. Could have been a GUID. Without a first post, the error is erroneous.

Ah, so you are saying that you got that error when the message you posted was, in theory, completely original?
I suspect Chris will want details, such as the exact contents of the message. And if you tried again, did it error out again. And which forum this was in.

Magic.
Did this message appear after you had tried posting a message? Did you double-tap the submit button? Or have I overclocked the CPUs on the servers too much so they are returning results before you post them?

I was browsing Toolbar section and a few articles have their images broken. Possibly it was broken during transition to new URL system.
For example Sizing TabControlBar[^] doesn't show image. I did a test and Googled the title of the article to see if image shows up in Google's site Preview. There were two links that I got as a search result. The second (old-style) link to article's comment shows the article with the main image: Sizing TabControlBar[^]
Thanks,

It's been happening for several months now. I already reported it, but it's not fixed. CodeProject is automatically publishing ALL posts published in my blog, not only tagged to be so.
People is complaining about senseless articles published by me, when they were wrongly taken by codeProject. Can you please fix this?
Thanks !!

This is not the kind of response that I expected from you.
"I already reported it, but it's not fixed. CodeProject is automatically publishing ALL posts published in my blog, not only tagged to be so."
I don't blog outside of CP, so I can't verify his statement. I would have expected a "we'll check out the filter" before this response. What's wrong?
