... and I was reading the "What's new?" page. Spotted the new "Reading mode":
Quote: Simplify your reading experience
You can make it easier to focus on text by reducing distractions from images and videos with Reading mode. You can also adjust the font, text size, background color, and more to what works best for you.
- Go to a site where you plan to do some reading.
- Right-click on the page and select Open in Reading Mode. Text from the site will appear in the side panel.
- Select which reading customization options to apply to the text. If you want to resize the side panel, click and hold the Drag
icon
Could be useful; I'll try it. What page ... Hmmm ... How about "What's new"? It's kinda cluttered ...
Quote: Reading mode isn’t available on this page
Reading mode can't find the main content on this page
Doesn't work on CP either.

You've done it, finally Microsoft. All your effort paid off. You successfully drove me away from using any of your mail clients as of now.
On top of all of the other problems I've had since Microsoft forced Outlook on Windows users just now I was typing an email and the stupid app just crashes. Goes away. Right in the middle of me typing. How professional.
Launch again and the Draft is just empty.
Microsoft clearly does not want me to trust them, or to use their insipid, software shaped garbage like Office.

Unfortunately, TB fails at the first hurdle for me. Trying to access my Office365 email account, it opens a window with an embedded browser to sign in. That embedded browser blocks all cookies, so the login just redirects to an error message. 
On top of that, the last time I tried it, it didn't find any of the folders in my account; only Inbox, Sent, and Trash were shown.

If it's an imap account in TB you have to subscribe to the folders you want to see ( it's a one off thing )

I have a club that needs a membership solution, less that 1000 records they prefer a windows solution and I expect to put it into a database with a WPF front end (on multiple machines). Trick is it needs to be accessed but multiple users at different sites. So I'm looking for a solution that is either free or minimal cost to the club.
The current solution is excel on google drive but they are not happy with excel. Ideas would be appreciated.

I received email from Chris (probably) for
"Our CodeProject Community Survey 2024. Less than a minute."
All of the out links in the email were blocked for me because they all had link trackers through DoubleClick and developermedia.com, so I'm already well over the promised minute on this.

Probably you need to raise this with the admins - try here: Bugs and Suggestions[^] or reply to Chris directly via the email address the link came from.
I get the same if I click (mostly accidentally) on one of the ads on CP.

I get the same. I can read the articles fine but the top 2 items - presumably ads, will never open.

I have a Samsung smart TV that does everything I need it to except for watching CBS tv shows. Using the same method I use on my PC/browser, I open the internet app (which is Samsung's browser), go to cbs.com, click the show and episode I want to watch and it should start playing. Instead it displays a "optimizing your viewing experience" message ad infinitum. This happens during high-volume times (6-9pm) as well as late night/early morning times. I have no streaming services to further test with. I can watch YouTube videos whether in the same browser or in the YouTube app, both with no issue. My solution was to use the CBS app on my phone and share its screen with the tv. That works fine. This seems odd since (I think) twice the amount of traffic would be going back and forth on my home's Wi-Fi network.
Any ideas as to what might be going on here?

My best idea as to what's going on is that the CBS stream is triggering some undocumented "feature" in the television's firmware.
Maybe there is a firmware update for the TV that you could try.
The difficult we do right away...

I'd try talking to your local Samsung tech support first. And CBS tech support second if they aren't helpful. I'm guessing it's not going to be "just you" with the problem ...
Have you tried turning your house off and back on again?
