That's a lot of requests in one go!
1. Gists: We now support gists in articles. Not sure if this will work with the blog importer - I've not had a chance to check
2. Wrong section: Yep, this is a constant issue and something we've been discussing for a long time, and is sort of related to...
3. Tags. The only real option we have, apart from our auto-tag-extractor, is to give you a way of supplying tags yourself. Given that many blog engines won't let you customise the RSS output at all, I'm open to suggestions. Maybe some json+ld we could parse?
4. Importing to Draft. Interesting idea. We'd rather just make it work though, but I get your point.
cheers

Speaking about improving blogs...
There are blogs that get edited by staff or high rep members and end changed to article. I suppose this is because the editor defaults the type to the "article" and one should consciously change it back...
It would be better if the active "type" get already selected when opening a publication in edit mode.

Actually, it was just one question.
1. I hadn't considered this. It would be cool if it worked, but I simply assumed I'd have to edit my post to the CP standard (which is pre tags). It doesn't work with the blog importer, I assume because you guys don't import script tags because they could be malicious and Gists work with scripts.
2. I wasn't asking about this as I know you guys already know about this 
3. See 2.
On a side-note here, WordPress does put categories and tags in the RSS feed, except it makes no distinction between the two.
<category><![CDATA[Azure]]></category>
<category><![CDATA[CodeProject]]></category>
<category><![CDATA[Programming]]></category>
<category><![CDATA[Software Development]]></category> Etc.
4. That was my actual question, I'd have this on by default even if points 1 to 3 were fixed, just for a quick review just in case

Before there was a counter "vXX" in the Q&A items. Where it could be checked what has changed between one version and the other one...
is that not possible anymore?

As far as I can see, it's still there. The only time it doesn't appear is if the item hasn't been edited.
Eg:

When I posted this, I had edited a QA and it didn't appear... weird

An example: what is XCOPY I:\*.* F:\ /E /F /H ? is a question of 2013, and I wanted to check, who did the improvement and what was changed
But can't see the vXX Link or the name of the editor as I reported previously.
I don't know if it has something to do with being at work, but I can't see it (I will check it this afternoon at home)
[EDIT]
Weird... this other question below in the list... Generate popup using windows service does got it:

The Updated information applies to the whole thread and not only the question itself. The date of the XCOPY question has been updated because a new solution has been posted. Simple to recognise in this case but hard when the new solution has been removed meanwhile for being spam.

TBH that makes not really sense for me. The second example has come back to the beginning of the list due to a new solution too, but the timestamp of the question itself is the same as it was.

That has been AFAIK changed some time ago upon request:
When the solution is removed (as in the second example), the update timestamp is reset to the previous state.
However, I would expect it then to have the timestamp of the newest solution because that was after the last edit.

That's what I don't understand... why with one yes and with the other not

You can still get to the version history by playing with the querystring:
what is XCOPY I:\*.* F:\ /E /F /H ?[^]
As you can see, there's only one version of that question.

I already supposed that it didn't show vXX, because there only is a version. But I still find it the behavior a bit inconsistent.
Start playing with the link is something I would have tried if needed to go deeper.

There seems to be a limit on image size - If I take a pic with my phone it doesn't load, it always just times out. If I view the image in windows and screenshot that it loads just fine.
Can I suggest that loaded images get "normalized" to a standard size for saving, so phone pics can load OK rather than having a size limit that you can't see?

When I did my message I had the feeling that 200k is the top limit, so I reduced my images before loading them up. After that, no problems at all.

There probably needs to be a better error message for that than "timed out".

How about "unexpected error"?
|
|
|
|

Sorry for piggy-backing on the thread, but for me only the top section of the images show in the thread. They show ok when clicked on.

They show up fine for me - Chrome Version 68.0.3440.106 (Official Build) (64-bit) / Win 10
Browser? CTRL+F5?

They're working fine for me now too.

I've increased the timeout and there shouldn't be any actual upload restriction. Can you let me know the size of the images that are failing for you?
I have seen timeouts myself and if the issue continues I'll get a bigger boat.

That's better - I can upload a 2592 x 1456, 467KB image with no problems.
But ... when I click on "open link in a new tab" to see the "full size" version I get a 404:
I get a 404 from the image I loaded yesterday as well.
