The team made some recent updates to the newsletter system. I'm guessing in the process they also fixed some things.

article removed

Shouldn't it better be removed totally of the list instead of leaving the empty option?

Additionally... I am just curious about what can trigger it. A spam nuke? An owner deletion once the article was selected? The hamsters being fed after midnight?

Edit:
You can even vote for it... that would be a nice prank if the winner is a deleted entry (already in position #4).

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Nope, it was one of mine - since it had already won a 2nd prize in November's competition, Sean and I felt it shouldn't be in December's as well and he removed it as best he could: Sean, an oddity. - Article Writing Discussion Boards[^]

Then it should not be posible to vote for it.

I'd agree - but since it was a glitch in the system that got it in the contest to start with, there isn't a lot of point raising a bug report and fixing it! Laugh | :laugh:

But as I said... it would be interesting to see what happens if the "deleted entry" actually wins the competition Laugh | :laugh:

It should definitely be an option to remove an option from a running survey. Currently I cannot. It's a rare requirement so it will be tackled accordingly. The last time this happened was years ago.

4. The feature which allows you to lock down the syntax and forbid overly clever and totally unreadable code written by a dev more focussed on proving they are smart than they are in working with everyone who will ever need to maintain their incomprehensible code.

Oh, hang on, that feature hasn't been added yet.

Hi Chris,

I can hardly wait to see this/your response, and the other responses, to the survey, when it appears on the home page Smile | :)

Of course, the survey may take another form, depending on ...

Having already put my backside in ... in proposing this survey, I dare say I can see another survey that asks opinions about adoption, or use, of .NET/C# versions > 9.

The new kid, Math Generics, looks interesting: for me, the tricks I had to go through, back when, for robust conversion of Numeric Types, and parsing of strings as numeric were ... surreal.

cheers, Bill

I just searched this forum for

Direct Message
Private Message
Direct Email

Nothing recent; all hits were two and three, and sometimes twelve, years old.

A circumstance has arisen where direct communication with another member would be highly beneficial, and is totally inappropriate for public discussion.

Way back when; this was a click and type thing.

Today, no-can-find.

Did the big honchos of this site have to remove it for some logistics reason ?

I can easily imagine some significant abuse of the feature; so, no whine if that's the case.

Otherwise, if I'm missing an obvious place to click, please let me know.

At the bottom of each message is a "Email" item the when clicked allows you to send an email to the author of a message.

Is it ok that I put a link in my profile ...

7-Jan-23 1:41

It's there, but not for all members - it can be disabled in your settings:

Disable that, and the "email" option disappears from everything you post.

Thank you for your attention.
The idea is to put a link into my Biography (e.g. www.manning.com) where one can order a book I've published.

I only like to make sure, that this does not break the CP rules concerning adverts.

As long as it's just the link and not like, "Download my book today. First users to use promocode 01AA gets %5 off!" that's OK.
