The new contest that started recently has a mismatch in the URLs. (Or was that intended?)
Internet of Things Article Challenge[^] (From the home page)
Internet of Things Article Challenge[^] (From Featured Competitions page)
The URL mismatch may be (or I think should be) fixed for future, and I suggest the URL from Feature Competitions should be kept. Also, if this is something usual that CodeProject does (as in case of showing on home page only), then leave this report.

I'm writing articles about SQL Server 2016 and Azure SQL Database, but I cannot see these categories in sections/subsections.
Are there any plans to ad them in the near future?

When posting an article you can add whatever tags you wish.
The sections are for the general topic of your article, and the tags for the specific language, platform and technology used.

... To always serve the desktop site, instead of the mobile?
It's a pain on my tablet to keep having to tell Chrome to "request desktop site"...

This is where I just want to go back to MFC applications.
The Nexus is a phone. Except it's as big as a tablet. We modify what we send to phones in order to cater to slower processors, less RAM, less bandwidth, and because we simply won't be showing as much. Your device is a phone - and our system will treat it as such - but it's really a tablet when it comes to display.
I'm loathe to remove our "mobile rendering" mode because there's still lots of folks who appreciate being sent less HTML. I'm scared to add display-mode persistence because it'll mean lots of people stuck on "mobile view" (or whatever) and getting a crappy experience. Regardless, I'll add this as a TODO and cross my fingers. It could take a while to get this done unfortunately (pipeline kinda full this month)

I know what you mean, but how about three options:
1) Depends on device (default)
2) Always desktop
3) Always mobile
That way, nobody's experience is degraded unless they specifically say "I want this" - and only people who have a problem will bother to change it.

How about making it a user setting? If the user's logged in, respect his previous setting on that device.

Yep. (See the "I'm scared to add display-mode persistence because it'll mean lots of people stuck on "mobile view" (or whatever) and getting a crappy experience. Regardless, I'll add this as a TODO and cross my fingers." bit in my previous post)

A good idea, solution may be to just remove the CSS3 media query.

I generally only bother to look at forums that are marked as having new content. Now, frequently (nowadays anyway), opening one of these shows there's really no new content in there because the content is caught in the moderation process. Would it be possible for you to not mark these forums as having content, if all that's new is held in the moderation queue?

Slightly different. I'm talking about not showing the forum as having updates if there isn't anything visible because it's in the spam moderation queue (or has been deleted as spam).

No problem. I obviously wasn't clear enough, so this gave me a chance to make my point clearer.

That's do-able. I've added it to the TODO.

This question: Ajaxtoolkit: validatorcalloute... Not working[^] was originally in teh QA list but with no subject, so it wasn;t clickable to follow it.
A quick Chrome "Inspect" later and it's because it started with "<" with no matching close tag and so was HTML swallowed.
I'm pretty sure that subject lines should never contain raw HTML, so perhaps a quick extra validation?
On a related subject, when I went to edit it I just removed the offending character and couldn't post as it didn't contain three words, just "<Ajaxtoolkit:validatorcalloute..." so it should have failed the original validation anyway. Odd.

I wonder why you didn't answered it, while you were there...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Because it's a huge, ugly code dump and I can't be bothered to wade my way through it in search of an actual question before my second cup of ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) ?

Nope. I have AdBlock but it is disabled for the CodeProject domain.
You fixed a problem for me a few years back when I somehow ended up with two accounts that you merged for me - everything appeared fine since then but this is the first time I wanted to update my profile.
