Strange: When signed out, everything Looks fine. As soon I'm signed in I see the artefact.

Need dll for Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlClrProvider[^]
The list claims there are five solutions. When you open the question, there are five solutions. But the solution list claims to be "page 1 of 3":
Clicking any of the links to go to another page shows the question with no solutions, and no option to go back to the first page:

Looking at Latest Updates[^], I saw a checkbox "Project" at the article filters, that I hadn't seen before. After doing a search on this type, the page told me that there were no results.
That left me with the question, what is a "Project"? (How) can they be submitted?
The quick brown ProgramFOX jumps right over the Lazy<Dog>.

Sorry for the extended delay but this [^] should explain things.

Since it's possible nowadays to get more than 600 points at signup just by checking all the newsletters we've gotten a few side effects. One we noticed the day before yesterday.
Next one coming up is live hyperlinks and a biographies in the profile. It's only needed 500 points for those as well. And those are much harder to find.
And honestly I find it quite silly that you get silver level just by signing up.
I'd suggest shifting the levels one step up.
no status 0
bronze 100 -> 500
silver 500 -> 1500
gold 1500 -> 2500
platinum 2500 -> 5000
That way you still become something when you sign up for everything, but it doesn't get ridiculous.

You do need to subscribe to the newsletters to keep that silver status, and on signing up you are only awarded silver for participation. I hear you, but at this point I'd rather adjust levels required that rejig silver participation.

The important part is to stop the ability to post spam and links in the profile at signing up. How it's done is certainly less important.
That problem still isn't addressed, and it's only a question of time before they realize they can do that again.

My account under the username blizzerand was recently closed because some moderators reported the account. I don't understand the reason why it was closed. Can someone walk me through the procedure to get it back?

Thanks very much for your message. It seems you posted an article that plagiarized at least two sources:
Security of JavaScript Applications – JavaScript UI Libraries — DHTMLX – Medium[^]
Security Vulnerabilities in Web Apps – Chirag Goel – Medium[^]
Unfortunately plagiarism is a growing problem on CodeProject. We've tried many things to tackle this issue. We've re-activated accounts of plagiarists and even worked with them to teach them what plagiarism is, and tried to work with them to get their articles in working order.
Experience has taught us this method does not work. A recurring theme with plagiarists is that they want their articles published, regardless of the cost. Publishing an article correctly on CodeProject, that is, publishing an article that aims to teach and exhaustively explains as much as possible about a subject or particular problem and its solution, is far more important than simply getting an article published. The focus should never on being published, the focus should be on using your own words and your own knowledge to help others.
Posting a piece of plagiarized material conflicts with CodeProject's purpose, and is hurtful to a community full of authors. As such, neither your article nor your account will be restored and this will be our last say on the matter.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Windows 10
IE 11.785.16299.0
I can only scroll a forum with the mouse wheel. This does not happen on other sites.
When I try to drag the scroll slider to the bottom of the window, the left column gets messed up, and the slider flashes, but cannot be dragged.
EDIT ==============================
And now it appears to be okay...

I love these types of bugs. I merely have to wait for IE to switch back to reality and it's all good again

The list of recent questions on the home page is still showing the earlier spam:

Is this still an issue for you? If so, do you have ad-blockers installed?

It is working now (no idea why or what have changed)...
I do have ad blocker, but disabled for CP (I know we need it  )...

I might be wrong here, but I noticed that the spammers today all had more than 600 reputation points, which should not be possible if they just signed up today as far as I know.
But I've seen that when some people rejoin using an old email they recieve the old points connected to the previous account.
I believe this might be the loophole needing to be plugged.

You get 50 or 100 just for signing up to a newsletter. Pretty easy to get 600 off the bat.
See this[^] and a couple of other threads.

If you check everything at signup you get 352 points.

Scrap my previous answer, I just realized you get 50 points PER newsletter, not just 50 points in total as I believe it used to be.

|

isn't that used to be 0 or 100?
