The date in the snapshot pop-up doesn't represent the current date where the red line is.
I observed, that the date is related to the first line, Author in the screenshot.
When the reputation points for the first line change, the date changes too.
The expectation is, that the At date represents the position of the red line or at least the latest change in any reputation type.

The new look to the front page "Discussions" and "Questions" is odd:
There is far too much line spacing, and if you want to make the author more prominent - hence making it much bigger text - why simultaneously make it a colour which makes it less prominent?
Just looks all wrong to me, should the author be more important than the message?

Is this still happening? Even after a Ctrl+F5? I'm not seeing it my end.

I'm seeing it on my local copy but not live. Weird, but I've fixed and will deploy in a minute

Just tried with CTRL+F5 on WookieTab:
Chrome Version 64.0.3282.167 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Win 10 1079 16299.248
(Selection images are such fun on touch screen with no add-ons...)

The top two messages in the ASP.NET forum[^] are spam. The messages have been closed, and the spammer[^] has been terminated. And yet the username, which contains the spammed domain, is still visible.

Occasionally, you post a "Reply" in QA and it doesn't "take" - you get a "we retried 3 times" message.
That's not such a big deal - we all get busy from time to time - but when this happens with an answer the textbox doesn't get cleared, so it's a simple matter to wait ten minutes and re-post.
With comments though, the text box is cleared - so if it doesn't "take" you lose the message completely and immediately you press the "Submit" button, but you don't know that for a minute or so. With a quick "You're welcome!" or similar that's not a problem, but when you've just typed for five minutes it is rather annoying ... Any chance the two systems could do something similar? I know it's a big ask, given that the "Reply" textbox is not a permanent fixture, but it would be nice.

After marking the text and clicking the button nothing happens, except that the text becomes unmarked.

IIRC - from previous posts - privileges are not computed on the fly, so if you got them in the past you will have them even you drop below the requirements...

I downloaded Code128 barcode library.
Utterly wonderful - just perfect.
So pleased with it I created a membership to vote him 5 stars, and to point out that you CAN scan a barcode from the screen (with imaging scanners anyway), as the author said you could not. This little trick saves me a lot of paper.
Anyway
1 user id, steve@pinesoft.co.uk, Member 13705469.
Makes 1 vote (5 stars) and 1 post.
you then send me the following in an email:
Hi Member 13705469,
Your account at CodeProject has been reported as Content has been posted that is spam 10 times and is now deactivated.
Whether you liked the post (it was certainly meant to be informative - I don't normally bother typing messages, and it certainly wasn't meant as spam) or not is irrelevent. It was 1 message - no more no less.
You have a BIG bug in the works somewhere. I did not post 10 times, just the once.
So - something's wrong gents.....
Wonder if anyone can be bothered to find out what.
Kind regards, Steve

That message is pretty confusing actually; it actually means that 10 CodeProject members flagged your account as 'spammer', hence it got closed. It doesn't mean that you posted 10 spam messages. Surely it can be worded better though.
I am not an admin so I cannot check out what your message looked like or why it could be considered spam - we'll have to wait for a CodeProject administrator to find that out. If your message and your account was wrongly flagged as spam by the community, the admins can probably restore your account as well.
The quick brown ProgramFOX jumps right over the Lazy<Dog> .

I've reworded the email as "[Count] members have reported your account at CodeProject as "[Reason]". Unfortunately this means your account is now deactivated."
Is that clearer?
Your message was marked as spam because it came across as spam.
1. You mention your commercial product and include a link.
2. It's the first and only message you've posted.
3. You didn't provide a name
This is the behaviour many, many spammers undertake and whether you intended to spam or not this is how it appeared.
I've removed the link to your product and reinstated your account
cheers

Thanks Chris - I hope the little scan from screen trick helps.
The Code 128 library is wonderful, and just what I needed.
