I thought I'd been banned and hadn't noticed...

Looks like we had a spike in traffic at the time you reported this, meaning some DB calls timed out due to load. Your articles are all safe, just a little shy.
I'll also check to see if there was some maintenance going on at that time - if so I'll get the schedule changed.

As noted by OG about this message[^], some platinum member has been using abuse votes against general, non abusive messages in the Lounge. I have been hit several times like that. I don't know if it is only one person, but whoever is doing this needs to be talked to so that this can stop.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

OK, let me fix this permanently.

I receive a weekly newsletter that is significantly shorter than the "online newsletter[^]" (July 13 as an example). Why?
For example, my settings include "C#" as one of the topics I want to receive in my newsletter. Compare:
Online newsletter - C# new articles:
- A Look At Akka.NET
- SQL browser
- Converting Latitude and Longitude to British National Grid in C#
- Temper USB Thermometer in C#
- LINQ One-liner to Get An Array Containing Month Names
- Implementing AntiForgery Token in AJAXPOST
- Poor Man's Method of Reading CSV File into DataTable
Online newsletter - C# updated articles:
- Online Spreadsheet, a low latency html5 websocket Cloud service (SaaS) in C# .net
- Avoid tedious coding with LeMP, Part 1
My newsletter - C# new articles:
- A Look At Akka.NET
- Converting Latitude and Longitude to British National Grid in C#
My newsletter - C# updated articles:
- Online Spreadsheet, a low latency html5 websocket Cloud service (SaaS) in C# .net

the online version contains all articles you would receive if you don't include a filter. Add a filter and you'll get less articles.

How many times do I have to explain this? My filter has C# in it and I am receiving not nearly all C# articles.
|
|
|
|
|
Explaining it like that narrows down your complaint significantly. With that I can now focus on the issue and see what's happening.

In your preferences you have unchecked "Tips and Tricks" under "Newsletter Topics".
This means
- Temper USB Thermometer in C#
- LINQ One-liner to Get An Array Containing Month Names
- Implementing AntiForgery Token in AJAXPOST
- Poor Man's Method of Reading CSV File into DataTable
Will not appear in your newsletter, but
- A Look At Akka.NET
- SQL browser
- Converting Latitude and Longitude to British National Grid in C#
should. Similarly for the Updated section.
However, it seems two articles that should be in your newsletter aren't:
- Avoid tedious coding with LeMP, Part 1 (Your article)
- SQL browser
We're looking into why right now. Any chance you could forward me the newsletter you recieved? chris at codeproject.com.

Found and fixed the issue. It was an interesting one.
We have an attribute system that is hierarchical. C#4.0 lives under C#, Win7 lives under Windows. We have a class that manages collections of attributes and it has a property "AttributeNames". This property returns a human readable string of the attribute names in a set of attributes.
Our newsletter system is drive by a JSON content feed, and that content feed uses our Article object, which has an Attributes object, to get information on the items to include in the newsletter. We pass in title, author, date published, and an array of attributes (tags) attached to the article, and the feed returns a JSON object that includes an array of attribute names that the mail system uses to filter content.
All pretty straightforward.
Except article.Attributes.AttributeNames takes into account the parent relationships and so if it has the tags "C#3.0, C#4.0, Win7" it returns "C# (C#3.0, C#4.0), Windows (Win7)". Our JSON feed takes this and assumes it's a comma separated list and splits the list by comma. So we get
- "C# (C#3.0"
- "C#4.0)"
- Windows (Win7)
as the list of attributes.
I've updated the comment on AttributeNames to ensure users know it is for human consumption only, and that they should use NameCommaString() if they want a raw comma delimited list of attribute names.

Okay, so it sounds like this bug affected any authors (like me) who are more specific in their tags - C# 4.0 instead of just C#? Did it affect New articles as well as Updated?
|
|
|
|
|
It affected all content that was tagged with an attribute that had a parent attribute.

It would be nice if the small window showing options how the pasted text is going to be formatted could be disabled by an option like "Don't show these options". When disabled all the pasting would be as-is.

In the list of Quick Questions, it would be nice to add a sign near the number of answers to say that a Question is Closed.
What about a red cross ?
Simply to say that the question need no attention.

Very few people actually mark their questions as solved, let alone closed.
|
|
|
|

oops.
wanted to say Closed by CP because the question was reported many times.

If it's closed then it will be removed from the list, you will not see it any more.

May be the question was closed short time before I see it.

Even answered question may show on the 'unanswered' list till the next cache cycle...Same for closed...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

In my opinion, Points we receive on this site are a mirror of the Actions a user performs - Be it just "debating" in the Lounge, writing Articles, or answering questions.
While everyone gets Points for each posting they make on the site, I feel like there should be Points awarded for Moderation Actions done in the spam filter - Regardless whether we let a post flow through or block it.

But filtering spam is a deleterious action. How do I know this? From observing this queue. So there's no debate here. And what's more, there's no reason to aid the filtering because the reason to delete is often no longer present.

Currently there are points awarded for reporting as spam but not for marking something as not spam.
We will have to update this.
