One time. You'll get a reminder if you need to reconfirm.

The Daily News email received from maillist.codeproject.com got hung up in our spam checker as the SPF check failed.
Testing the SPF record for that domain shows an error:
SPF record lookup and validation for: maillist.codeproject.com
SPF records are published in DNS as TXT records.
The TXT records found for your domain are:
Record contains non-ASCII characters and is invalid.

Thank you for that. I've yelled loudly at those responsible. Should be fixed soon.
[Edit: fixed]

On the various pages in this website, the Page Selection functions are (always) at the bottom.
If I want to follow a topic on, say page 20 for example, I need to scroll to the bottom of the page to click PREVOIUS/NEXT or any of the Page Selection functions.
It would be a huge improvement, to navigate this most useful website, if the Page Selection Control block would also be at the top of the list, of say articles, or answers, or discussions, etc.
Thanks in advance for your consideration of this request.
Best Regards,

You're talking about the forums?

I am referring essentially to any of the pages that return, for example, a set of articles, a set of answers, submissions in discussion forums, or community postings.
At the bottom of the "sets" there is usually a Page Selection Control:
Refresh «Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Next»
In some case there are also "First" and "Last" Controls (links)
At the top of the page there usually is only:
First Prev Next, and sometimes "Last".
I am suggesting to improve the pages by having the following not only at the bottom, but also at the top of the sets:
Refresh First «Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Next» Last
Best Regards,

Go to the bottom of this forum and look at the right hand side. What do you see?

Pete. I see exectly what I am asking to be also put at the top of the list of articles, etc. That way if I want (need) to go to page 23 of the listed articles, I do not have to scroll down (sometimes repeatedly) to the bottom of the page to click the number, or the "Prev", or "Next", or "Last", as the case may be.
Simply put at the top of the list, what is available at the bottom.
Best Regards,
kdsdata

I'd prefer not. It adds too much noise.

One can only try, but personal preferences don't always fly.
In any case, Thanks for an awesome website.

My latest article - LLLPG, part 5 - like my previous article, did not appear in the newsletter. Any ideas why?
(I'm rather jealous of "Time Period Library for .NET", which has appeared in my email on 22 separate occasions...)

Dammit Janet.
Why always you? This is frustrating.
We'll dig in first thing tomorrow morning and see what the issue was.

Thank you!  Should I apply a "dummy update" on my articles to encourage them to appear in the next newsletter?
|
|
|
|

Officially, no.
Unofficially: wait until next week.

Well, I waited two weeks before marking two of my articles as 'updated'. Neither of them appeared in the Newsletter today.

I see:

Concerned about regular expressions being unintelligible, repetitive, hard to get right and non-recursive? Read part 5, possibly the most useful part yet!

Argh! I see that the online newsletter is about twice as long as the one I received (which did not show my articles). Once again I wonder why it wasn't in my version of the newsletter. I think it's a bug. In my Options, my newsletter topics are still set to "C#, .NETCF, F#" (which is odd because I thought I updated those)... but of course, my article was tagged C# so it should have shown up.

Getting moderation messages for some pretty innocuous posts and everything seems to be taking a while to show up. Either I'm marked out for special attention, or the moderation queue is playing up again. (Note that includes SoapBox 1.0 which I thought wasn't supposed to be moderated).

We found a probable issue with moderation: when a Good message was marked as "good" it wasn't being added to the learning material for the filter. So threads on innocuous subjects may have been marked as spam, then continued to be marked as spam because the filter wasn't learning properly.
I'm not convinced this is the entirety of the issue, though, so we're still watching.

Please take a look at http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5079464/Changes-to-the-Spam-Filter-and-a-little-about-how.aspx[^]. This should explain why your message(s) were sent to moderation and how they have been fixed.
I personally accepted one of you messages, and confirmed that afterward, it no longer triggered the Spam Filter. You just have a writing style that uses words that might occur in a spam message, and we had an error that wasn't considering that these were being used in non-spam.
This is not a bad thing, even Chris gets caught by the filter when he gets his Marketing hat on.
This should be fixed now, but may take a few days for the Filter to teach itself to behave.
Bad Filter, Bad. Sit. Shake. Find the Spam. Good Filter. Good Filter.
