I released the app:
Here's the CamoPicker web site[^]
Shortly after releasing the app, I was attempting to add new functionality and realized that the app need to be heavily refactored in order to implement that new code (and to make it presentable to other programmers here in the form of an article), so I started refactoring. Just as I was starting that process, we started the process of moving to a new house. That was back near the end of October. I was actually thinking about posting another thread in the Lounge about the refactoring process, but I figured everyone was more interested in inane drivel about Leslie Nielsen and bacon than real developers talking about what they've been up to.
This week, I finally got to a point where I could continue the refactoring process, and wouldn't you know it - Chris made a change to Codeprojects My Articles page that significantly impaired the functionality of CPAM, so I've spent the last couple of hours trying to work out what changed. Among the changes I've had to make:
0) They changed the ctrl ID of the MainArticleSpan elements. Silly me - I was using those to identify the tags I neeeded to find.
1) There was a minor programming error regarding the cleaning of the data, where I am stripping html tags and various non-printable characters and delimiters from an element's inner text.
2) This is a biggie - the number of views has been omitted from the article details. Accidental? Intentional? Who knows, but CPAM is displaying 0 views for all the articles.
At this point, I'm of the mind to just wash my hands of the whole thing because I can't see any point in chasing the whims of the CP developers where the data is concerned, and the promised web service is still missing in action. I certainly have more interesting things to do.
I guess the CPAM thing has me a bit perturbed... annoyed... and even kinda pissed off, but mostly because I had to drop everything else to see why it doesn't work any more.

To find the camopicker lounge posts, just do a search in the lounge for camopicker. You should be able to find all/most of the related threads that way.

Thanks, John, for unknown reasons (early Alzheimer's ?) I could not remember the name 'CamoPicker,' but I did search at length from your profile, and on your name in the general search facility: perhaps did not go back far enough.
I'll review your comments (which I am going to bookmark for future reference) to see if they might help the OP on QA if their question is not yet answered.
best, Bill

When I try to logon to CodeProject from my Windows Machine I get the error message "Information for 'what I thought was my email address' not found (make sure you enter your email address, not your username)"
As I am loged in on my Android tablet and can view my proofie there appears to be no problem with my account. I tried both IE and Opera so it doesn't appear to be a browser issue.
Can you please look into this and let me know how I can overcome it.
Thank you

Take a look at the email address in your profile. That's the address you need to use for logging in.

Ooops - After 8 years I just try to login out of memory. Unfortunately at my age my short term memory is not what it used to be.
I forgot I changed the email address.

My sincere apologies on this one - I've just arrived back home in Australia for a week and I got my dates completely messed up and failed to set things up so the graphics would change over.

I posted this (article upload bug) a while back and you said it was fixed, but I just ran into the same issue again.

I'll add it to the TODO. Again.

Greeting. My first post in this website.
I register an account in order to post a question to C# forum. I am greeted with a confirmation of my email address request. I then go to my email box to confirm.
The URL stated in the email from your website does not work! No matter whether I click on "reconfirm your email here" or copy and paste the URL in the address bar, I get the following:
This page has been called incorrectly. Please recheck the address you clicked on and, if necessary, cut and paste it into your browser's address bar
Please fix. Thanks.

Can you please forward me the email you received? I'll dig in and see what's happening.

Chris,
Thanks a lot! It is working now.
As a person who do programming a lot, I would love to hear the story about why it does not work. If you don't mind sharing, the technical detail may help other people.

You just want to embarrass me, right?
The short version is that we were packing together data in binary form, and then sending it to a service to complete the steps to confirm your address. However, the receiver was assuming a fixed sized packet and because one of the pieces of info in the struct being sent was your member ID, all member IDs above 2^23 (8,388,608) were causing an overflow.
That particular piece of code was written about (in essence) 10 years ago. I guess I just wasn't dreaming big enough back then

That's the juiciest coding horror I've seen in a while!

Hi,
Yesterday i was looking at one article for approving it and gave my opinion for the same. After that it was shown that there are a total of 5 reports for the article.
Today i was able to give my opinion for that article again and this time i was shown a total of only 1 report for that particular article.
I think this shouldn't be the usual behaviour.
Since i wasn't allowed to vote again on the first day, the same should happen the next day as well. I shouldn't have been allowed to vote.

It may have been that the article was made available and then sent back to "Pending", or was deleted and then reposted. Either of these situations will result in the article losing all votes and comments.

Can you please add the editor for questions and answers to the "add comment" so comments get the same love.
