Hi all - what is the current thinking on whether source code should always be attached/uploaded to CP for articles ?
I've seen articles in moderation which don't have source code, and have been 'released', similarly I've seen the other side of the coin where someone has pointed to Codeplex, but his sourcecode on Codeplex was at that time inaccessible - see ACoreLib.Tracer: Tracing done right
... as Steve Holle points out in the link above (albeit some time after my original comment to the author), do we expect author's to maintain two sets of code ?
My 'take' is, and moving with the times, we probably dont expect authors maintain 2 sets of code, but, we expect that the code is always available - as was the original intent of 'always having a source code attachment/upload' to an article in the first place
I'm happy to follow (gawd I'm going to hate myself) 'whatever makes sense', but having been a member for a while, I don't want to be 'going against the flow on current standards/recommendations'
.. apologies if this has come up before and I've missed it

We've always allowed members to host the latest version of their code offsite, but we've also always asked members to provide a snapshot of the code we can host locally in case offsite went dark.
Many years ago when we first started CodeProject we had a 100% offsite link breakage rate. It was insane. 100% of links to code offsite eventually broke. Hence the policy.
These days things are vastly different and places like CodePlex and GitHub are usually rock solid. Even so, things change, and it's always safer for everyone to provide a local, emergency copy, even if it's out of date.

Thanks Chris - it sounds like we're singing from the same hymn book, which is what I intended to check by posing it here

I'm not receiving email notifications for messages on my articles. My email address is set correctly. Anyone know why this could be?
Cheers,

Same here - the toolbar appears, but the content does not. No errors logged in the console.
The editor works as expected in Firefox 51 on the same PC.

I'm on Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) on Win 10 and it's fine for me.
Do you have any add-ins such as ad-blockers? Ad blockers have been causing a bunch of issues lately it seems.

Looks like it's a uBlock filter on mine - both "##iframe[style][src]" and "##[style] > iframe" are showing as blocked. After disabling uBlock and reloading the page, the editor works.
It will probably affect other ad-blockers that user the same block lists.
It doesn't affect Firefox, because I've already disabled uBlock for CodeProject.

You are right, it was AdBlocker. After turning it off, the editor works normal.
Thanks for help.

How could I get Newsletters and The Insider News in Dark Background such as white text on a Black/dark background? Please help if any one knows. Is there any settings on the website to customize website background?
|
|
|
|

Maybe your email client allows custom CSS to be used.

Thank You very much for super fast reply. 
Sorry, How could I use custom CSS? I know nothing about "email client"

What email provider do you use? Is it gmail/hotmail, for instance, or do you view your email in Outlook or Thunderbird?

Thank You very much  
The link shows background-color property is supported by Gmail. 
How to change the background-color of the subscribed Newsletters from CodeProject? 
The website's background is also white, I searched an extension here "CodeProject Article Reader" that allows to read only. I need the emails background's color "non white".

You're a coder - time for you to go off, do some research, and code that up for yourself.

Or he could buy a damaged video card off eBay or some place like that where the colors are inverted

Hi!
I cannot open codeproject.com web site from my Nokia E7 (Belle, Delight CFW) phone.
Default browser (Nokia Browser 8.3.2.21) claims that web site may be removed and/or renamed and/or blah blah...
Opera Mobile claims that Secure Transaction failed. Maybe some certificate problem...
This problem has appeared some time ago (several months), it seems that this is somehow linked with site https/security changes.
The web site is still available using Opera Mini, but that is somewhat limited...
What I have tried:
1. I have manually installed *.codeproject.com wildcard certificate on the device - nothing has changed.
2. I have tried to change User Agent string in default browser - no changes.
3. I have enabled TLS 1.1 in Opera Mobile 12.0... (disabled by default) - no changes.
In fact I was able to open codeproject.com in Firefox on desktop with TLS version limited to TLS 1.0 but I don't know why mobile browsers cannot open it...

Your browser doesn't support modern certificates and so is unable to view our SSL site.
The latest version of Opera Mobile should (at least I'd expect it to) handle the SSL properly.
FWIW Apple's discontinued Safari on Windows has the same issue. With Google mandating that sites need to be SSL everywhere we have no choice but to move with the times, meaning some older systems will have issues.

Thanks Chris for your answer.
But I think there is no problem with https itself. I can freely open youtube.com over https and have no problems with it at all.
What also I have found using a small bash script is that youtube.com support next set of ciphers with TLS 1.0 (script output, filtered by YES):
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA...YES
Testing AES256-SHA...YES
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA...YES
Testing AES128-SHA...YES
Testing DES-CBC3-SHA...YES
and codeproject.com
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA...YES
Testing DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA...YES
Testing ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA...YES
Testing DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA...YES
Using website SSL Cipher Suites Supported By Your Browser[^] from my mobile I have found that connection was established using TLS 1.0 and ciphers
AES128-SHA (Opera Mobile)
AES256-SHA (Nokia Browser)
and both these ciphers are supported by youtube.com and unsupported on codeproject.com
So the question arises... Can support for these ciphers be added on codeproject.com? It seems like youtube (read: Google) has not banned these...
