The best thing to do is not delete images when uploading new ones. The system handles updates by placing them in a Working directory so that the original images are still available to the currently published version of your article. Once the new version is made public the images are swapped out.

All right, thank you for the advice. If I have a change, I'll try that way. But frankly, it's not logical. With file systems, if you delete file and immediately copy another one under the same name, or if you copy without deletion, logically, results are the same, right?

You're forgetting that updates and existing articles must exist together.
If you delete a file then you delete if from the current article. Current readers suddenly see broken images.
When you upload a file it belongs to the new version of the article, which is not yet visible, and so the files are kept in a separate location. Deleting from the current and uploading a new doesn't not do a "delete and replace". You're doing a "delete and store in staging".

No, I'm not forgetting it. It simply means that the operations should be presented differently. Just think about it. Isn't that obvious that all the operations should do the same? There is no difference between deleting, replacing, adding. All you do you do on a new version of the article, no matter what...

The problem we had last December, where every key press sends a synchronous XHR request to the server, seems to have come back again.
Almost impossible to post a message[^]
The textbox either doesn't respond, or skips letters.
The call-stack for the request:
TextEditor/this.getSanitisedMesssageHtml https:
RefreshPreview https:
UpdatePreview https:
Every request is followed by an error:
TypeError: o is not a function editor.min.js:1:11798
success https:
i https:
fireWith https:
z https:
c/< https:
send https:
ajax https:
TextEditor/this.getSanitisedMesssageHtml https:
RefreshPreview https:
UpdatePreview
The only way to type a message is to use the developer console to execute:
RefreshPreview = function(){}
Firefox 54.0.1 x64 / Win10 1703 / Web02

Seems to be fixed now, I was seeing it a little while after you reported it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah, sorry - in the middle of deploying an update and one of the javascript files wasn't updated correctly. All fixed now.

Hi,
How long do you plan on doing this? Everything is so... fractured. Have you considered making it so these categories are hierarchical?
In other words "C++" is the parent for everything under "C++98,C++11,C++14,C++17 ... "
and
"C#" is the parent for everything under "C#1,C#2,C#3,C#4,C#5,C#6,C#7 ..."
To make matters worse... I cannot seem to get the combo box for the "Interested" filter to produce anything but C++14 on MSEdge. Even though I see questions containing other C++ tags. Also... my Interested filter doesn't even work.
Trust me... it is unnecessarily difficult to come to your website and actually locate something to contribute to in the "Quick Answers" section... requiring multiple searches. A quick/cursory analysis tells me that the complexity is due to the fractured categories and that a hierarchical tag system would make finding information so much easier.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

We've had hierarchical tags since almost the beginning. The interesting thing is that we built a big, complex system to handle setting and searching for tags and it...was never used.
For instance: when marking an article as C#7 it also means it's to do with C#, so C# should be added as well. However, if an item is marked C#7 and isn't marked with C# as well, then a search for C# should also bring up items marked with C#7. And then, suppose you mark an item as C# - do you mean all C# versions or just some?
It became complex but we added it all and apart from the load it put on the database, it was never embraced. We gave up.
So: outline your ideal and then I can see more clearly what your pain point is and how we can solve that.
cheers

Typically if I take the time to point something like this out... I am looking at broad issues rather than any personal pain points. All of the issues seen within the 'Quick Answers' portion of your service seems to be with tags and tag-usage and I suspect it has a larger impact than you might suspect.
Case in point:
C++14 Tags[^]
I can't find anything in there that is actually C++14 related... nearly the same for many other language tags. If 80%-99% of the community is not correctly using tags... it's time to start looking at the site design surrounding this feature.
Hopefully I did not pick a bad week to point this out. I know you have a lot on your plate dealing with the new rules and regulations being placed upon codeproject.
Best Wishes,

It is easy to do yourself From here: CodeProject Member FAQ[^]
There are a few ways to do this. One way is to go your membership settings https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Modify.aspx and look under your profile picture and check the box that says, "Close my account:"

That was exactly my first thought when I read the thread. But of course I can not afford such a comment.

I accidentally reported this member.
Would it be possible to remove the reports from him?
Thanks!

Not sure if this is related to the database updates?

For last 20-30 mins I was getting below error message when I opened home page. It happened in Chrome Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit).
Error Page Error. err...
Unfortunately it seems that our error handling page has, ironically, an error. It's going to be one of those days.
Click here to return to the homepage. But it worked in firefox at that time. Not sure what's the issue.
Currently I'm able to open CP in Chrome.

I've been doing a bunch of deploys that included some messy database stuff which was causing some outages.
Please let me know if it's still affecting you. As of 20 mins ago things had settled down but you k ow how these things go

Apologies for the timeouts. Chris is "fixing" some things. The site seems mostly OK now, but I will still pray for Mr. Maunder down in the engine room.
