It looks like the abstract is taken from the intro. And that the first image (the histogram) is a copy of the last one but only belongs at the end.

That's another point. Which should be said to the author. I mean the format issues with the code snippets, it sadly is something that often happens, when blogs get fed.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

When you type something into the comment box before clicking on something other than "Approve", where does the comment go? I've never seen these comments from anyone else. Is there a way for moderators to see them? Can the author see them, or do you have to add a comment to the article itself?

We moderators can see more things than normal users, yes. But there is not "Poll results" of the clicks to be seen.

It is approved and we can see, who approved it.
Or it is nuked, and we can see, who nuked it (this is not always consistent, but that's another history)

User should get a notification about the results (approved / nuked and reason), but if it says the clicks of the options... no idea, that have been added relative recently and I my last Tip is older than that.

About the moderation board... Do you sometimes see messages i.e. "not an article", "format issues" or similars by other people? Then you see the same board, than I can see.

When you post something in the comment by voting then it auto generates a message in the board with "My Vote of X" and the body is your comment of the vote box.

@sean-ewington
I can see articles/tips/blogs (but not posts) that need to be approved, as well as the reviewers who voted on them and how. But when I approve an article, or say that it should be a tip, or that it has formatting issues or whatever, there's a box where I can enter comments before clicking on my selection. And I'm wondering where comments typed into that box go, because I never see them afterwards, and never see any from other reviewers. It's similar, but not the same, as the comment you can enter when voting on an article.

That's protectors only. The spam filters. We have to choose, let it through or send it to limbo.

If it's the reporting box, it gives me a little not when I look at the report itself. Very helpful.

Hello, I am experiencing this again, but I forgot how did I solve it the last time Smile | :)

I have an article to publish and most of the images are wider than 640/700 px. So I would like to upload the original images and to restrict their width to 640 by width tag. But I want users to be able to click on them and see the image in original size. This is important especially for bigger screenshots with code. I initially did that like < a href="address_of_bigimage.png" >< img src="smallimage.png" />< a/> (there are some spaces put in the html part only for this comment, so that it appears as html and not be autoformatted).

Can this be done in an easier manner? If not, what will be the address of all images for the article - it should be code project domain, then KB (knowledge base) and then some number I guess?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I need help with the implementation

I have the following situation. I have been writing about a mouse and keyboard emulation program for months, in which I want to control mouse and keyboard input using a gamepad. So far everything is working fine.
I want to have access to the settings in a game to be able to fine-tune settings such as timing by double-clicking or triple-assigning a button. Mouse speed and acceleration should also be adjustable via these settings. As I said, everything was great until then.
If I now start the game Exclusive Fullscreen or just fullscreen and open the overlay and the overlay gets the focus, the game will automatically be minimized and everything looks very dirty.
My ideal was that the game behaves like the NVidia overlay. So if it loses focus, it remains maximized and goes into a pause mode, so to speak. I've tried so many things and I'm really at a point where I don't know what to do. I am a beginner and have taught myself everything so far. That means I'm not a professional and I don't know all of the apis and how to use them. I recorded the global events once to see what happens when a game runs, and I call the NVidia overlay with ALT + Z.
The result was

Code:

    11: 10.13.804Window: TESV Title = OleMainThreadWndName X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE
    11: 10.13.825Window: TESV Title = Default IME X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE
    11: 10.13.829Window: TESV Title = Skyrim X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE
    11: 10.13.833Window: TESV Title = Skyrim X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_SHOW
    11: 10.13.838Window: TESV Title = Skyrim X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_SYSTEM_FOREGROUND
    11: 10.13.845Window: TESV Title = CicMarshalWnd X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE
    11: 10.13.853Window: TESV Title = CicMarshalWnd X: 0, Y: 0 --- 2147483440 << Dont know these event
    11: 10.13.859Window: TESV Title = X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE
    11: 10.13.862Window: TESV Title = MSCTFIME UI X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE
    11: 10.13.867Window: TESV Title = Skyrim X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_FOCUS
    11: 10.13.883Window: TESV Title = Skyrim X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE
    11: 10.13.908Window: TESV Title = Default IME X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE
    11: 10.13.912Window: TESV Title = D3DProxyWindow X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE

    11: 10.13.925Window: TESV Title = Default IME X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE
    11: 10.13.928Window: TESV Title = DIEmWin X: -1, Y: -1 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE
    11: 10.13.936Window: TESV Title = Skyrim X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_REORDER
    11: 10.13.940Window: TESV Title = Skyrim X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE
    11: 10.19.405Window: TESV Title = Default IME X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_CREATE

    11: 10.24.473Window: TESV Title = X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_DESTROY


These are the messages from the game (Skyrim) and also any other game only nadere window names when I open the NVidia overlay (ALT-Z)

and that the news when I open the overlay (ALT-Z) without a game


Code:

    11: 27.25.198 Windows: NVIDIA Share Title = NVIDIA GeForce Overlay DT X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_SHOW
    11: 27.25.218 Windows: NVIDIA Share Title = NVIDIA GeForce Overlay DT X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_SYSTEM_FOREGROUND
    11: 27.25.233 Windows: NVIDIA Share Title = NVIDIA GeForce Overlay DT X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_FOCUS
    11: 27.30.674Window: NVIDIA Share Title = NVIDIA GeForce Overlay DT X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_HIDE
    11: 27.30.687Window: NVIDIA Share Title = NVIDIA GeForce Overlay DT X: 0, Y: 0 --- EVENT_OBJECT_LOCATIONCHANGE

Please need help. I´m Using VB.Net or C#
