To try to determine at which end this is failing, could you create a temporary gmail account, and then set this as your email address for posts (I'm not talking about your logon email address).
If emails fail on this gmail account when you click the CP email link, then it is probably something on the CP end (I use gmail myself).
If emails work using the gmail address, then you (or your company) are blocking the emails.

As I currently have some enforced free time, I was just looking at my list of articles to see which of my older and lower-rated articles I may want to update.
I see no way to order them by date or rating. I even tried the regular search for only my articles, but the ordering wasn't quite right.
If I'm missing something, please let me know. If it's not there, might you add it?

Not a bad idea. I'll add that to the TODO

You can use my CodeProject Article Scraping article, and list them in any order you like.

But I'm unaccustomed to reading "good" articles.

Powershell articles seem to be scattered about through several categories.

Get in line. Regular Expressions has needed its own forum longer.

I've added it as a technology. It seemed more appropriate.

That article was written before forced comments and the removal mechanism were in place, so you're seeing a 1 vote that was prior to this system

Could we remove them at some point? Like after the new system has been in place for a year?

Intersting idea.

This is currently in the General Programming section, surely as a database it should be in the Databases and SysAdmin section?

I'm curious why there's a separate MySQL forum? We don't have an Oracle forum or a SQL Server forum, so why this one particular database?

at a guess it's from when the LAMP-codeproject site was more isolated from the main windows based CP.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

I sometimes publish articles in a German developer magazine which refer to my online articles on CP. While suggesting a good online platform like CP, I expect a certain level of content quality.
One factor influencing this quality are those annoying Univoters like here[^].
Thanks to the good new feature 'bad-voting-trail', we now recognize Univoters.
At least for edited articles, it would be desirable to improve the way how Univoters are handled.
In my opinion it should be a more efficient way to remove such voting/message, rather than wait a certain amount of people who click the 'Vote to Remove Message' Link.
Maybe the following precautions would help, to reduce Univoters:
1) Accept voting only if
- Comment contains at least n words
- Comment contains not only dummy characters like ',' or '-'
2) Reveal the members rating behavior: let's display the average rating on the members profile page
3) Warn member if the average rating is less than n.n. Disable member if the average rating is less than n.n
Cheers,
Jani

I agree with your point (1). This is a very simple heuristic that will not prevent legitimate 1 votes.
Your points (2) and (3) are another matter. What if someone is looking at new articles and decides they are worthless, and gives reasons? This almost sounds like a 1-vote quota. Besides, now you have to leave a message when you vote 1, so everyone can see who you are.

I agree that a low average voting is by no means something negative - it only reflects your voting strategy.
What I meant to convey is rather a way to interpret such a voting by readers.
Point 3) should maybe only consider the removed votes.
Cheers,
Jani

As to 2 and 3:
I expect my own average would be extremely low.
I look at the articles that catch my eye on the front page and I report the ones I find sub-standard.
I don't report uneditted articles that simply need formatting because I expect the editor to fix the major flaws.
When I report, I also 1-vote, and now give a message about why.
Any articles that seem OK I leave alone. I never vote 2-4 and rarely vote 5.

1) Excellent idea. Will be available in the next release
2) This will help other mount vendettas, but won't really stop someone from downvoting
3) I can't do that because what if the member truly only goes after sub-standard articles? He's doing the community a favour.
