Someone needs a cookie.
In all seriousness: use the flag to report items that are substandard. The more we do this, the more we clean up the content and make the experience better for those who read after us (and hopefully others will have cleaned up the debris before we, ourselves, are firing up CodeProject in the morning)

I was thinking about something a little stronger, like a 5th of Gentleman Jack and a can of Coke.
I already use the flag. It's just very disheartening to see a constant stream of "articles", supposedly written by university grads or higher, that don't supply ANYTHING in the way of a discussion of the topic, let alone a coherent discussion. How on earth does anyone get around in this business without the ability to convery an idea to another person??

There are days when a bottle of something volatile is sorely needed in this office too.
This is all part of a larger discussion though: Just looking at those who are licensed to drive a car often fills me with despair. And fear.

And yet in Canada they made you go through a road test to get a license, ignoring 2 decades of driving experience.

Get them before they get you I always say. That way, you already know it's coming.
As far as the "articles", it's gotten to the point where you can just look at the title and know for certain what you're going to see for quality when you click on its link.

I have nearly caused at least two major traffic accidents... thankfully, other more experienced drivers were able to prevent them. My earlier mistakes are why I now am paranoid of other drivers.

There is no need to fear me Chris. Canada is a gun-free zone.

Actually, this isn't such a bad idea. I've seen an uptick in the number of spam "articles" attempting to get free advertising for various products.

Since changing employer a few months ago, and updating my Code Project login email, I've stopped getting the daily insider email.
I've checked with our IT guys who have confirmed they aren't blocking emails from this domain, and can see CP emails coming in to other people in the company. Any ideas?

Doh, I hadn't seen the rather obvious yellow bars around the CP site asking me to reconfirm my email address. Oh well, sorted now.

Recently I'm not getting mail notifications only for forum messages(replies). But I'm getting mails for comments(reply to Q/A answers) & also receiving newsletters.
BTW I just want to remind this feature(Suggestion: Notification area[^]), I'm not sure about personal mail access at my new work place(soon) so that feature will be very useful for us.

Agree, same with me, not getting notifications for forum message replies. 
|
|

Have you checked your spam filters? Comments and forum notifications use the same system, so if one gets through the other should too - unless it's being filtered out down the line.

Got it.
In CP settings page[^], Forums Tab, I found that the option Send me an e-mail if someone replies to the message was unchecked.
But believe me I didn't uncheck that, but recently I have updated the settings for Default Paste options - Paste as HTML
So what would be the issue?
And another issue(Default Paste options), Already I set the option Paste as HTML as default in my settings. But whenever I paste text in Forum/Q-A editor it still displays the Paste as popup. How to disable that permanently?
Well, Now I'm getting mail notifications(for forum message replies) after changed the settings

1. If you unchecked the "Send me an email..." checkbox while posting a message it will remember that for next time.
2. The Paste As box will always appear. The default settings are there to force it to pick your chosen option, regardless of what it thinks is best to do. Having the Paste As show allows you to override your default choice. If you don't want to see it, just keep typing and it will disappear on the first keystroke.

Thanks for reporting this Dávid. The hamster commissioner is calling the hamster Batman, and he and the hamster Robin are sliding down the hamster pole and into the hamstermobile as we speak. (AKA we're on it).
