I think blogposts are not coming in latest articles section(but it shows Tip/Tricks too) in home page. Is it only me or ?
EDIT
---------
I clicked the dropdownmenu "Tech Blogs" under "Latest articles" menu. But it's showing nothing**. This's the first time I noticed this option.
But I always prefer this page[^] for latest things.
EDIT 2
----------
Web01 | 2.7.131230.1 | IE7* 
EDIT 3
----------
In chrome it's working**. So ignore this. Hereafter I'll check with other browsers before posting things like this.

Tons of problems replying to posts in Q&A. Most attempts fail to post after 3 tries. Happening in both IE10 and Chrome 31.0.

Yeah - had a bit of a 32bit meltdown. Back to 64bit and it's all good again.

I take a lot of care to try and make my responses to QA questions informative, include tested code I have verified works, and responsive to the needs, and level of programming knowledge, of the OP, but, of course, like everyone, I can benefit from a response being edited.
It is kind of amusing to see some folks make incredibly insignificant changes to a response; I have the sense that, for some, code they perceive as interesting induces a behavioral expression of the "pat a dog on its head" instinct
What would be very helpful to me would be to have appended to the response the summary of edit/changes that one must enter after you edit someone's QA response via the "What did you change" text-field.
thanks, Bill

QA is focussed on questions and answers, not on the mechanics of how the various parties negotiated with each other into getting to the resolution. I fear that bringing too much focus on the changes and edits would distract from the primary value: the answers themselves.

Would it be difficult to make mandatory to fill the "what have you changed" textbox when editing an answer?
I know one could write "aslfdhnsa adfn" (as downvoting), but I don't think the people that take the time to make an edition would mind to give that info. When I edit a message many times I just forget to fill it before clicking "post".
That could cover part of Bill's suggestion, because checking the versions history is not so useful if the box was not filled at the edition and you need to dig deeper to know what was changed.
The "compare versions" function is pretty cool as it is and already delivers the needed information about the content differences between versions.
P.S. if it would be implemented, then please don't reload the page to give the error, to avoid losing the changes made.

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I recently sent a private e-mail to a CP member via CP's (I assume) anonymous e-mail facility, and I received an e-mail reply to my personal account which showed what appears to be the real personal e-mail address of the sender.
I expected to see some "mailbox-unattended" type return address. I assume the recipient did not receive my personal e-mail.
fyi: even though I now have all notifications of any type turned off in my Account Preferences: today, for the first time, in a long time, I got a notification red-flag: the notification was an alert to the response to my e-mail sent to the person mentioned above.
thanks, Bill

I'm pretty sure the "email" link in a message will do what you have described. The email you received should have been from the user and not from @codeprojectcom so that should have tipped you off. I haven't used the feature but I think it should prompt the user to warn them that private emails will be sent.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The private email link does that deliberately since it's effectively like sending an email. The recipient needs to know who's sending the email so they can reply.

Thanks, Chris, I had assumed the recipient of a private e-mail would see only my CodeProject User Name, not my personal e-mail address.
yours, Bill

Hi there:
All Code Project articles I open with Mozilla Firefox, don't show well.
I tried reinstalling Flash Player but apparently CodeProject doesn't use it.
At this moment I'm using Google Chrome, but my preferred browser is FireFox.
What do you suggest me to do?
Rafael

"don't show well" isn't really enough to go on. I'm viewing the articles in Safari, Firefox and Chrome and they look the same in all.
What's the issue? Any plug-ins installed? Tried hitting Ctrl+F5 to force a reload?
|
|
|
|
|
That's what I thought, some plug-in like Flash Player, but, the problem disappeared, I didn't do anything, may be it was a temporary problem at their server.
Thank you for answering

It looks like I can give my own posts 5 out of 5 stars every day. Each day I do this, it adds an entry on the reputation list log showing the date and time I voted. It only allows this once per day, but it allows it every day. However, the points to not accumulate in my total, so I consider this a minor bug. They only appear as if they will be adding to my total on my reputation list.

Yep - you can upvote yourself. And if you revote, your old points are removed and new points added for the new vote. A possibly self-fulfilling but ultimately futile exercise
|
|
|
|
|
I should start giving myself an upvote or two every day to get me in the "winning" mood.
Thanks for the New Years Resolution Chris!

Ron, it's well known that up-voting yourself makes hair grow on your tongue.

One of the servers had an out-of-memory issue. All good now, but I'm keeping an eye on it
