No need to tie yourself in knots on this one. Regardless, the sentiment is appreciated.

We've debated long and hard about alerting people to ad blockers, but our conclusion was that those that have ad blockers know they have ad blockers and don't need reminding.
However, we've also considered the case where readers install an adblocker for all those popup and nefarious ads that are around and when they come to CodeProject they simply forget they have an adblocker and would be totally fine with our ads.
If the latter's the case then we can certainly show, in blocked ad space, a "In case you forgot: you're using an adblocker"

Do you have stats on the percentage of visitors who block ads?

20-25% for CodeProject (highest on weekends, lowest during the week). Way, way less than the IT industry average that's up around 50%.

I know in the past that I have had problems, or at least that appeared to be the case, with some ads here. My conclusion from that would come because I would be going along just fine and then my CPU would be swamped. Closing the browser would eliminate it so, my conclusion (could be wrong), was that the ads were doing that.
Other than that I have no problem with ads.
And just noting that I use and enjoy this site enough that I would be willing pay for it also.

Thank you for your text.
Can you explain me either way why my vote was immediately removed? Does it means something like in case my vote of "neutral" is too different to the average than is not appropriate?
Thank you in advance.
[Edit]Btw, with or without comment it stays my vote is removed.[/Edit]

That's exactly it.
However, should other high-rep members vote 3 then your vote may be reinstated by group consensus.

"group Consensus" sounds.... whatever. He has a strong Group behind him to publish such ...
Ok, please mark it as solved. My conclusion is, it is not worth to vote, sorry.

It's not worth voting on that article, or it's not worth voting at all?

I'd noticed for a while that I was still seeing yesterdays comments marked as new when logging in each morning, today I pounded the next page button in the Insider forum until early august; everything was still marked as new. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

That is usually an indication that a cookie has been destroyed, so CodeProject has no timestamp from the last session.

hmmm. Wonder why it's getting nuked and my login cookie isn't; you'd think they'd be managed together.
Checking my content blockers, the only ones firing on CP are ||developermedia.com/a.min.js from ABPs easy list, and assorted Google domains being either blocked or denied cookie rights for ignoring my DNT track by Privacy Badger. I'm guessing it's devmedia, but I thought that was just advertising.

As far as I can remember it only happens to me if I clear my browser cache or logout of CodeProject (something I never do these days).

Could be a pure coincidence; but despite my doing nothing different a mark read was triggered after my visit 2.5h ago...
