If I recall correctly, it hasn't always been so. The account is old so could it be possible that when the amount of items you can opt-in has grown over time, they have been automatically added to existing accounts without adding corresponding points? This would explain why opting-out results to negative points.
Of course this is merely speculation

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I went to "My Articles", and it says "no articles posted" (the same for Tips). The article/tip count appears to be accurate.

"My Articles" works for me.

It appears to be okay now.

I submitted a new article (Generic DAL Revisit - Making it Your Own, A Practical Example[^]), and it didn't bring over the one-line description or the "brief paragraph". Sean is editing it (fixing it, I suspect), but just thought you should know.

It was missing when I went in there as well. If you don't like the description or brief paragraph I chose, I'm happy to change it.
Thanks,

Nah - looks okay. It's weird, because the wizard won't let you submit unless those two fields are filled in.
Maybe they were social distancing.

Is there a way we can add styles for our articles? If not generally, than for the people that have a crapload of articles posted. Like me. Maybe make it possible to upload a supplemental style sheet?
I want to use this:
<style>
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
{
color: #f90;
margin-bottom:0px !important;
padding-bottom: 0px !important;
line-height:1.1em;
}
p
{
margin-top:5px;
}
.preText
{
background-color:#dfd;
border-color:green;
}
h1 code,h2 code,h3 code,h4 code,h5 code,h6 code
{
color:saddlebrown;
font-size:inherit;
}
</style>
Also, what happened to the checkbox that told the editors not to mess with my markup?
Seriously dudes, yer harshin' my buzz.

Short answer: no, you can't change styles so your articles appear differently to everyone else's. A fundamental goal for CodeProject is to keep as consistent a look and feel as possible across our articles.
For preText I'm guessing what you're after is something too allow the use of PRE without it being coloured like a CODE block. What we're going to do is move to the standard "<pre><code>" form so that non-code blocks will simply be preformatted, and pre-code blocks will be formatted and colourised.
The Hx code suggestions: I'll play around with that. As to the spacing and colours, they are being adjusted in a move to using Bootstrap as the base CSS. Spacing will actually increase. No, you can't come and personally threaten me because the borders are closed. Let's talk about it in the Fall.
As to that checkbox: it's like those temperature adjustment dials that have in offices. It didn't actually do anything and was there simply to give you the illusion of control. (actually it was only there for the old HTMLArea WYSIWYG editor. The new CKEditor is far better with HTML so we've not needed to undo any weirdnesses)

I understand that, but at least consider some of the changes I wanted to make. For instance, a border with rounded corners around <pre<> blocks really does enhance the look of the article. My latest article code has a html file with the body contents in it with the style changes I wanted to use. BTW, are you going to switch to relative font sizes (i.e., "1.2em") instead of hard-coded pixels?

Can you show an example? I dont know what a "standard <pre><code> form" is (we all have our own standards, right? ).

More spacing? Ugh...
I don't threaten, I make examples. You'll never see me coming, but everyone will know what happened (because I'll leave one survivor to tell the tale).

I kinda know that already, because your minions continue to incur my wrath by editing my articles...
Can you show us what that will look like?

Maybe. But then someone else will hate it. I will never be able to please everyone, so in some cases I'm going to make the call to at least ensure one person is happy.
#realJSOP wrote: BTW, are you going to switch to relative font sizes
Absolutely. (get it?)
#realJSOP wrote: I dont know what a "standard <pre><code> form" is
Instead of
<pre lang=C++>
// code
</pre>
It should be
<pre>
<code data-lang="C++">
// code
</code>
</pre>

I will chalk up another COVID silver lining.

But you've already established that I am the one you have to be wary of. Nobody else really matters.
Chris Maunder wrote: When was the last time you gave someone fair warning?
That's usually established with my icy glare.
The difficult part will be delineating "warning" from "action", but only for those reading the historical accounts years beyond the event (scribed, of course, by the lone survivor).

Idea - make the site themable (to an extent) by the user.
