not really... that's part of the QA tests of the site by testing if the notifications counter overflow brings issues.

At last, one I can understand.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

But can you solve it, because I can't ...

And I've just spent an hour or more cleaning my desk and tidying up cables.
Somehow, it all works ... despite removing four mains leads that I haven't found anything to plug them back into, having to replace the CAT5 between the desktop and router, and evicting more spiders than I want to count. And a Dust Bunny the size of texas. And hoovering the processor heatsink on the desktop CPU which was kinda hard to see was actually a heatsink.
Oh, and as a bonus, I found which fan is noisy - the case one, so I'm not even worried about that given the dust choked processor was still running at 38C but has dropped to 34C after a visit from Mr Hoover.
I'd call that a good day!

Can of compressed air every so often does wonders slso.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

I've got a 100L compressor in the tool cupboard - but it's remembering to do it regularly, and the hassle of unplugging everything and blowing it out. Should be easier now the PC is on the desk (behind the monitors) instead of underneath it.
I'll stick a reminder in Google to blow it out every couple of months, I think.

I remind myself so often to do it then get into something, and then something else and something else and by the time I unwind the stack its about 2ce a year...on a good year.

Do you think this is something I should be doing to my PC? I mean the cleaning part.
When I open one that's being scrapped, to pull out a few useful components, I usually take note of the cobwebs. You didn't mention removing those . . . should I leave them intact? And for the compress air blower/canned air thing. Do you think it would be alright I just had someone with a dust allergy stand very close by when I open the case?

I take my CPU outside every 6 months and blow it out with a compressor. Canned air will take most loose dust out, but any buildup requires more oomph to dislodge.
I cleaned a CPU in my garage once and blew dust all over my car. Since then, I wait for a clear day.
Do not let fans run freely when blasting -- I found out the hard way you can break 'em. I push a bamboo skewer between the blades to keep it from turning and then blast away.
If you have a noisy fan? It may not be the bearings. Sometimes residue builds up on the fan blades and produces noise, including a reverberation. I use cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol to clean the blades. One pass to dissolve the gunk and remove most of it, and a second pass to remove the remainder.

Good news. You might try peeling the sticker back and adding a drop of oil to that fan. Worked in "the good old days".
Now what are you going to do with all that left over stuff from the desk?

Before throwing it away, I'd ask the farmers in the neighbourhood if they'd lost a sheep recently.

So the article in question is Customizable WPF MessageBox[^].
One of my updates to this article involves adding the ability to display a clickable URL in a message box. In the sample app, I added a MessageBox that prompts the user to come back to CP and vote, and provides a URL that brings them back to the article link.
I don't know whether or not if it is having the desired effect, but since posting that update, I've gotten five votes on the article. The ratio is still trending downwards, but the trend line is a little less steep.
Maybe I need to revisit my Reputationator app[^]. Was the CP API web service ever made available?
EDIT ============================
Nevermind, I searched for CodeProject API and came up with a bunch of info/

If someone's interested enough to run your code, discovers that it works, and notices that you're also being cute--well, combine all those things and I think your article will often get an upvote.

It wasn't intended to generate up-votes - it was intended to generate more participation in the site and provide authors with more feedback.

I viewed your article but did not upvote it(vote on it at all) because I have not touched xaml since 2012, and I normally don't upvote articles just for the sake of upvoting them, especially if I have not read the article word for word.
I'm sure it is a great article, and for those still working with xaml and using message boxes, will find it extremely useful, for sure.

I much prefer WPF to the other godless technologies available.
