You sent me a message relating to the article below, it's not my article, I suspect it was a message for the author concerning the new version waiting to be published. If I am guessing correctly then the author has not received your message.

If you want to gain his attention, you can use his @SAKryukov tag (everyone here has one, look in profile to find which).
This way he will get a "You have been mentioned in a conversation" and a link to the message.

No, Mike,
It was a message for you, but perhaps, because of mistaken copy/paste operation, I could use incorrect addressing ("your idea" instead of "his idea", something like that.)
We have some mess here: probably, all our comments disappeared in new edition of this article. I wrote you because you commented on the article and referenced my article. (Thank you for that and your last message.) I found a convincing argument to dismiss the whole idea of the author. It simply makes things much worse. Did you read my post about it?
Thank you.

Did you know? You can choose "inaccurate / misleading" in the report menu
If more people think the same, the article will be sorted out

I know, thank you very much.
This time, I did not report anything. I just wrote a negative feedback in the mentioned article, without voting, but it dismisses the whole thing. All our comments disappeared, by some reason, I wrote new comment, but it could be one of the reasons for confusion and Mikes message to me...
Thank you.

Hi Guys,
I've created an article, with images, using the CP editor and have noticed that images are not loading after publishing - appear broken.  I've gone back in and can see them there.
article link: Working with JSON in C# & VB[^]
Any thoughts on why this is happening? 
[EDIT]: Comparing the original to the published version, it appears that whilst the "/working" folder reference was removed, only the download file was published and not the images. Is it possible for anyone to push the images into "published" mode?

You need to ensure you reference images using just the image name, eg "EtsyCategory.jpg instead of "https://www.codeproject.com/KB/XML/1201466/EtsyCategory.jpg". Our system may need to move images around, so hardcoding the full path will mess things up.
All fixed.
cheers

Ah! Thanks Chris! 
I drag and drop the images across from the RHS into the article editor. I currently have an update that I am working on, so I will make sure the update is done this way...

There's a little "insert image" button next to each image in the file list that will insert the image for you.

Hi Daniel,
Yes, Chris' comment explaining the button next to image fixed the problem.

You don't. There is no obligation on people actually leaving a comment. They can if they want, but there's nothing saying that they have to tell you why they didn't like it.

This is one of the problems with voting down on CodeProject. There were some golden days, when you had to leave a comment for voting 2, or lower.
I was happy with system when a legend status guy can downvote, because he knows what he is doing and it was not due to some personal opinion. Everyone else, had to mention and openly state the why. But now, it is a stupid permission, anyone can come and vote. I don't know why this is even allowed. 
Ehtesam Ahmed wrote: How do I report this type of vote?
You do not and you should not. Instead, try living up with the pain of a downvote, and consider writing better posts in the future. I can help you out with some good practices to write an article here on CodeProject.
We all get downvoted, eventually. But there is nothing to do or bother asking, it is their right to do. What I do have a problem with here is, why every beginner gets to vote on articles. In my own experience, I have faced more than 10 times where I was voted down due to a personal quarrel that I had, which must not be endorsed here — and this allowance endorses such a behavior, indirectly.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I agree with you that there should be an obligation to give comment if somebody down votes. Without the comment how do we know what to improve here?

Suppose there's an obligation to leave a comment. What's to stop it being complete gibberish?
The thing about the comment/vote idea is that it fostered a n ethos of revenge downvoting where authors felt that they had been "dissed". To get around this, people created dummy accounts to vote. It was a complete mess. What value does "asddggdgd" bring as a comment? If someone downvotes without leaving a comment, then just ignore it.

Which led to appallingly bad articles appearing in the "best of" lists, because the author's friends all up-voted the article, and nobody bothered to counter with a down-vote.

Because it was tested and proved to be a fail.
- There were "khagfasluz" comments
- There were socket puppets to downvote
- There were "1" wars
- There were less downvotes, as people didn't want to do above and you ended with some articles having a high mark even though they were just crap, because author and some "friendlies" had vote up and noone was in the mood to downvote. Which ended with score system being messed up and no possible way to differentiate good articles from crappy articles.
To be honest, I don't always leave a comment if it is more than clear that the article is missing some of the points that are already written on the left side of the article template. If someone doesn't read the instructions there... my comment is going to bring nothing additional.
Everyone of us get downvotes that might seem "unfair". But the system as it is now is IMHO better. If it is an unfair downvote, it will get dropped / ignored when more people vote up the article. If more downvotes come... maybe the first one was not so unfair.
At the end of the day... CP reputation is not going to bring you any price, give you a salary rise, help you get a new job in a good company or things like that.
And on the other hand... I think that one honest "cool idea" / "great job" from some users compensates a million of downvotes and a "thank you, it has helped me" is worthier than 1000 5-votes.

Because you have just posted here I will add a note about your article here rather than in the forum of your article where it would be visible for all times.
You are using some images in your article without giving sources and attribution. While this might be acceptable for free images (while providing source and giving attribution is always better), you are not allowed to use protected images. There is at least one protected image: The bored boy (created by photomak, distributed by shutterstock with ID 85591630). If you have a license for that image, you have to provide source and creator according to the license terms. If not, please remove the image.
See also the Images section in the CodeProject Plagiarism FAQ[^].

Thanks for the information. I have removed all the images and uploaded the ones which are copyright free. Resubmitted the article again.
Thanks

I had posted an article and a tip using my account farhanshahsyed110@gmail.com. I had submitted each of them for publishing, only once. But out of nowhere an email arrived in my inbox with the description, "Content has been posted that is spam 10 times and is now deactivated." Isn't there enough accountability for the person who deactivates any account, aren't there any checks? I would have updated my article and tip under the supervision of some moderator but closure of my account has frustrated me a lot. I never posted anything more than once. PLEASE. RESTORE. THE. ACCOUNT.
