When my blog post[^] got pulled, I edited it to improve category, tags and formatting. But when publishing, it turned into an article (and I didn't select another value in the dropdown). I could fix it by updating my article, selecting "Technical Blog" in the dropdown and adding the URL of my original blog post.
Could you please look into this issue?

As per the title. Why? Sock Puppets?

Chill60's series of "Random xkcd to push the spam off the front page" messages where removed because they were junk posts meant to remove a spam message. I removed the spam message and so these (essentially placeholder) messages (and their entire threads) were just noise.
I'm not meaning to offend or judge - just trying to keep the place tidy. I'm the janitor around here...

Ah, OK.

Ah!
Thanks for that - was just surprised to see "Posted span or abusive message" hits in my "Latest reputation" summary, and trying to find out why, and how it offended someone that badly.

If you saw that then it wasn't me. I merely hit the "Go Nucular" [sic] button, not the Report button.
I checked your rep and I can see a "-1 point" for the removal of the message in the thread that was nuked, but nothing around a spam report against you.

No points off (not that it would matter) - I just like to know how I've annoyed people!

22444 "Red points" (aka pending notifications)  . I wonder if that is yet another record  .

I'd have more if the system hadn't decided not to send emails / notifications for replies in QA for a while!
(BTW: 22532 today, but I'm working on finding out when it rolls over  )

I moved my technical blog to a new location a couple of days ago.
I also imported the posts from the old blog. When I registered it with CodeProject, I forgot to remove the magic rel="tag" links from about 10 old posts and 3 of those were pulled onto CodeProject. The 3 posts that were chosen seemed to be chosen at random; 1 new post was not included. I immediately removed rel="tag" from the old posts and deleted the 3 duplicate posts from CodeProject.
I have now posted 3 new articles, two of which are a day old, and CodeProject is ignoring them. Ideas?
Location: Blog index is here[^], Atom is here[^].

Looks pretty solid to me. Could you please try one thing for me? When you post your blog feed URL on CodeProject, can you please try putting "?alt=rss" at the end of it?
Thanks,

Just to confirm I understand what you're asking, do you want me to go to the feed page and change
http://loyc.net/atom.xml
to
http://loyc.net/atom.xml?alt=rss ?
I'm sure the Jekyll web server will ignore the parameter.

Precisely, if you please.

Well, nothing appears to have changed after 24 hours.

I guess it did not work. Thank you kindly for trying that.
I tried giving the aggregator another kick, but sadly, it does not seem to be working. I have requested a higher power to give the aggregator a bigger boot kick and take a peek.
Please change the RSS back if that same URL was working before, so when the boot kick comes it will be ready.
Thanks,

Has someone looked into this yet?

I currently live in Colombia, and here the do not have postal codes. I know, that's pretty uncommon, but they really do not have this system. The "Professional Profile" is not complete without this, so (as with many other sites) I had to just fill in something else.
Some sites have a check box "I do not have a postal code", which would make things more reliable I guess. Another option is to make this a non-required field, or based on the country selected making this a required field or not. Lastly, you can just leave it as it is, and people from some countries will just will in something random.

Fixed.
Almost.
Turns out there are 60 countries that don't use postcodes (who knew!) and I ensured that they are all treated appropriately. Turns out, however, that the list I found didn't include Colombia. So: added.
And thanks.
cheers

The Tip/Trick approval popup does not have image offsite report as an option like the 'full' article popup does.

... on the first page.I don't understand the logic:
Mouser hover -> Popup appears -> move mouse to try and click on article or tip -> Menu disappears -> Click on advert instead of article/tip -> GRRR
Mouser hover -> Popup appears -> click on "Items need approval" to freeze menu -> Menu disappears -> Click on advert instead of article/tip -> GRRRx2
From my testing, this behaves randomly, sometimes the menu can be frozen by a click, sometimes not, and I am quite sure this is not a tactic of yours to force and click on the underlying ad.

Similar here at work with FF and Win7 but not at home with identical software (but a faster system).
Just move around with your mouse until the popup stays on screen. There is no need to click anywhere. When you move slowly around you will notice that the popup disappears when over the border lines of the top rectangle. Moving faster to cross the rectangle's bottom line often helps.

mmmhh, there *might* be a more intuitive way. Also, something must have changed in the behavior, because I have been moderating for quite some time now, and never had any usability problem with that particular menu.

I just checked it at home and there is a difference:
At work there is a rectangle around the top (n items need approval / n articles, m blogs, o tips/tricks) but here at home there is only one big rectangle around the whole popup (the line that has to be crossed fast is not present).
So it seems that the problem is sourced by some Firefox setting. Did you change anything?
