We used to have the option to allow private emailed replies to comments posted. In fact, that feature is checked in my settings. But I never see that option displayed in any comment. Did that get turned off for some reason, or is there something else I need to enable.

I think it is no longer available to us mere mortals, but a few demi-gods (Protector status, maybe?) still have it.
The question pops up from time to time, so maybe @chris-maunder could give us a definitive answer.

Yes, one of the demi-gods has already replied to me privately. Hopefully Chris can provide an answer.

Yes, it's Protector - you can (probably) see that from your homepage Privileges tab.

If you look at my profile and click the privileges tab you'll see Protectors are the only ones allowed to email directly.

These days everyone's got 5G through the miracle of covid boosters, and broadband at home.
So why does codeproject warn me about posting a couple of pages of code in "What Have I Tried?" when I ask a question?
Nobody is on dialup anymore. These "bandwidth goggles" seem like a throwback from the bad old days.

It looks like this forum needs the indices rebuilt - it's getting a bit weird in here.
On topic, we still have a local telco that still has Internet customers on copper wires, so dialup hasn't gone away yet. Still, I would think that with a membership consisting mostly of developers and other technically savvy types, all of us probably have broadband coverage. Maybe it is time to retire this "feature."
The mention does bring back fond memories of all nighters spent chatting with early members using this site and early chat applications. One of our first members we ribbed about having only a 1 kbs connection, yet he managed to outpost everyone! He was dubbed "Nishbot" by some. Good times!

When I head back to Australia I'm often sitting on sub-1Mbps internet. In Melbourne.
It's an odd situation but it reminds me every single time that not everyone in the world runs at 200Mbps.

Well, I've got good news and bad news.
The good news is, you will soon stop receiving any emails from CodeProject.
The bad news? It's because your account will be closed for abuse.
Rather than engaging with the site owners to successfully unsubscribe from the newsletters which you obviously don't remember signing up for, you have chosen to spam multiple forums, posting duplicate copies of increasingly rude and abusive messages[^].
Don't bother getting your coat. You won't be missed. 
NB: This was NOT a reply to the witch of code; the original message I was replying to has been deleted.

Yes, it's a long-standing bug. The original message I was replying to has been deleted, so the replies to that message appear as replies to the next thread up.

So this is how you bring up problems and work with people to solve them?
Your posts say a lot more about you than they do about CodeProject.

Opened this account last week and immediately subscribed to Insider and Daily Build newsletters.
So far I have not received either.
Can you please check this.
Thanks.

I've manually updated your subscriptions. You should start getting them tomorrow.

I wrote a technical blog about migrating a site from Jekyll to Hugo.
(two very popular static site generators - at the time of writing this, the projects have 48.5k and 73k stars on GitHub)
I didn't find tags for Jekyll and Hugo, so I tried to create them by simply entering them (Tags FAQ, How can I create a new tag?).
When I try to save, I get this message:
Quote: The following tags have been previously closed: hugo,jekyll.
The Tags FAQ also says:
Quote: While creating new tags you may see a message stating that one of the tags was previously closed (or something to that effect). You won't be able to proceed until you remove the closed tag. If you feel that the tag should not have been closed let us know why you think so and we'll consider re-opening it.
So here I am, and I hope this is the right place for this:
Why would someone close the tags for projects which are this popular, given the fact that there are lots of existing tags for projects which are way less popular?
Would you consider re-opening these two tags? Thanks!

Thanks very much for your message. The reason the tags were closed is not because the projects were not popular, but because they were not popular (or commonly used) on CodeProject. But I appreciate your request and reasoning, and the tags have been restored and added to your blog entry.
Thanks,

Tried to ask a question. Lots of typing and careful layout.
Hit Submit button and reply back is:
There was an internal error creating the item.
Oh well, I figured out the answer as I was trying to explain the problem, but still, submission did not work.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

It looks like we had a long running database process that was causing issues last night. I'm sorry about that.

I successfully opened an additional account using my Gmail address (because I'm still not getting any newsletters).
I was given:
Display Name: Member 16270984
User Name: User-16233274
Now I can no longer login using my password.
So I go to "Forgot your password", enter my email or name and I get a "Unable to find your information" message.
So I think maybe this account had not registered or been deleted. So I try to "Join" using my Gmail account and I get a "There is already an account using this email address" message.
So I keep going round in circles - the account apparently exists but I can't retrieve the password - and I can't use my Gmail address because it is already being used!
What to do?

I don't work here but I think both your Display Name and User Name have kicked a bucket. You should be: Member 16186463 according to "coder56" professional profile. I do see that the response to your last post about recieving the Newsletter is also indicative of something gone wrong on the bucket end. And apparently contacting support would not be advisable because they can't find the bucket. Or have found the bucket and have chosen not to respond.

Or have a lot of buckets to sort through.
Looking into it.

You have a gmail address for this account
You have a not-gmail account (Hint, it's a telco provider) for this account.
Which account stays and which goes? Which would you like me to manually reset the password (and email you the temp password)?
cheers
