I have recently published 2 posts, and I received an email (or web) notification for none of them. I did receive a notification that they were published (your most recent changes were published), but the intial was not sent.
The benefit of the initial email is that I get to intervene myself and fix a few things in the post, such as category, tags and content etc. so that the post looks fine and then publish it myself. Since I do not get a notification, I am unable to intervene and I have to give pain to moderators. 
But, um, is this a site update, or something else? I would love to have it back online.

We've been hunting down the email notification issue for a few days. It'll get fixed.

I can see an event "Post a general forum message (undo)" with a link towards This message[^] which was later on deleted by POH[^]. Now I don't really care about the lost point, but since we're displaying them out to everyone in public they should be counted correctly.

I didn't posted earlier, because I do not care for that lost point, but you are right - it is a bug...
Posted a reply to a post later deleted, and got -1 twice...

Same here - But IMHO as long as CP is supplying those numbers they should be correct, otherwise they might as well wipe them out.

The file in the Zip is an MP4 screencap.
For those unwillig to download it, here are the steps to reproduce:
1. Open Articles menu by hovering your mouse pointer ove "articles"
2. Try to click on "Submit an article or tip".
3. In any case, the "chapters and sections" sub menu expands rapidly and removes any other content in the menu (or blends over or whatever).

Works as normal for me. Chrome Version 57.0.2987.54

Works fine for me in Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit). The "chapters" menu opens to the right of the main "articles" menu, even if I shrink the window so that there isn't enough room for it.
The browser check page shows the same as yours, except for:

The default behavior of the CTRL + S key combination is that it shows the save HTML page dialog. Whereas, it would be much better, to only trigger the save document draft function.
The same function is available on WordPress post editor (the previous WP-Admin one), that has a good UX, as the user can have their post saved as a draft when they press CTRL + S, I think the same would be a good feature on CodeProject as well.

It is only for those can't overcome old habits... The page saves its content automatically every few minutes...

Your both statements are true.
But still, "Save HTML document" is not a good experience. It may be my personal review of the features.

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.

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

All of sudden, codeproject wysiwyg editor stopped working in Google Chrome (Version 56.0.2924.87) browser? Does anyone come across this issue? Are there any fix for it?
Any help appreciated.
FYI, Tried clearing up browsing history, no luck.

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"
