I'm hoping we can make this clearer today.

Chris, I've still no idea how to submit a project type, and I don't see anywhere on the site to do that. I'm sure I'm missing something, but there is one item in the moderation queue which is probably suited for that (it's just describing V2 of a github release): The Atlas Copco Open Protocol Interpreter v2.0.0[^]
How do I suggest he converts it to a Project?

It's all sorted.
I had to rework a bunch of stuff to do with tags (long story) before we could launch. As of this evening I think I'm done so we'll try launching again this week.
Nothing like anticipation, right? 
cheers

For example: Latest Messages[^]
The CSS rule .messages .content-list .content-list-item .title a has a higher precedence than the previous a:visited rule, so the visited links don't change colour.
a:visited {
color:#800080;
}
.messages .content-list .content-list-item .title a {
color:#005782;
}
.messages .content-list .content-list-item .title a:hover {
color:#069;
}
That makes it extremely difficult to see which messages you've already reported when you're slogging through a list of 80 spam messages.

@chris-maunder: This is marked as "fixed", but it doesn't seem to be. Has the fix not been deployed yet?
.content-list-item .title a:visited {
color:#800080;
}
.messages .content-list .content-list-item .title a {
color:#005782;
}

Yep - I need to force a cache refresh on the CSS. Sorry for the delay.

That's OK. It's not often there's a list of 80 spam messages to report. 
Is there any news on the "new message indicator" bug fix yet?

On the Your Settings page, there's lots of titles to choose from for managers and professionals, and aside from that: Student, Retired, Unemployed. I chose "Engineer" but actually I'm a manual laborer. How about "Employed: Other" or "Employed Outside Electronics" or something like that.
Codeproject has a legitimate interest in knowing who the CEO's and founders are, but it might be informative to know who is 180° opposite.

We get reports of this occasionally and my best guess is a mail forwarder somewhere between us and you is in a retry loop. I'll ask Matt to dig in, though.

It only happened with those two messages from the same person. I have never seen it before, or since.

Please! You are such a great site, but copy/paste in Q/A-A works still only in case you do
"Return"
"Return"
"Cursor up"
"Paste"
otherwhise it will cut some leading chars.
[Edit]
Tested it again, Looks more like an Error 40

I use copy/paste in QA almost every day and do not have any problems with it.

I'd really like to be able to search C-only articles. Right now C and C++ articles share the same tag, which makes it tedious to sift through.
Is there perhaps something I'm missing?

That some lucky sod would have to go through all of the existing articles by hand and decide which category they would belong in? There are only around a thousand, by maybe 800 different authors...
Are you volunteering for the task, because trust me, I'm not!

I wouldn't mind doing it on a case-by-case basis as I see them, but I don't have enough time to go through all of them.
I wonder whose bright idea was it to actually have those two languages in a single category.

That's the problem - nobody has. And a system where "some" are correctly tagged is useless to everyone, especially those specifically seeking C based information.

Well, it's already useless. The C/C++ tag could be kept, because it might be relevant for some articles and 2 new tags C and C++ would be created. C/C++ tag could then be removed from articles and replaced by C and C++ tags where necessary. New articles would also be correctly tagged without any extra work for anyone. It's a win-win situation even if nobody takes the time to go through all old articles at once.

No, it would make it worse. If you had seen "C" as a tag and limited the search to that, you'd get almost no articles until a good number had been "converted". And if the category was split and all "C/C++" got both tags by default that would be even worse than what we have at the moment as your search limited to "C" would bring up loads of "C++" articles that seem to have been incorrectly tagged ...

Hm, that seems to be true. Guess I can't think of anything that would solve it neatly. It's just a shame that new articles will still be tagged incorrectly, exacerbating the problem over time.

There are different tags for articles (pre-defined in the article editor for C/C++ actually C, C++, and VisualC++; authors with sufficient priviliges are allowed to create new tags). But these tags are selected by the authors and moderation (which is mainly done by users here) will complain only about obviously wrong tagged articles.
If you want to search for articles having the "C" tag set, use "tag:(C)" followed the by keywords to be found on the CP search form. The parentheses ensure that only the plain "C" tag is matched and not all other tags containing the letter 'C' too.
Doing so you will probably realise that articles will be found having also tags with other programming languages like C# and most of them are not related to plain C. With those articles, the author decided to include C for some reason. As already told you by Griff, it is nearly impossible to correct the tags for all those articles.
To sum it up:
The author of an article is setting the tags and is responsible for choosing matching ones. The moderation should check for matching tags but such is not a reject criteria (and many moderators - read: users with sufficient privileges - probably do not check them).

Adding new tags for C99 and C11 would be a good idea. At least, new articles will be correctly tagged.
|
|
|
|
|
C articles and C++ articles should be tagged with their respective C or C++ tags.
It's a huge project we've been considering for years: get the readers to re-tag content appropriately. We're just starting our Summer planning this week and taxonomy and tagging are right up there.
