Once again, I want to submit a request for a new major forum section, called "Linux Development", and within this section, have the following forums.
- Python
- GTK+
- QT
- C++
- Mono
- Database
This request is *not* satisfied by the existing forum under Web Development called "Linux Apache, MySQL, PHP". In point of fact, the current web dev forum for LAMP could also be moved to the new section as a move to consolidate all Linux dev into one section.
As we all know (or at least should know), development for the Linux desktop is wildly different from Windows desktop development.

Will there be enough posts?

Well, I can't tell the future, of course.
If you decide at a later date that the traffic isn't high enough to warrant the maintenance time required, you can certainly eliminated the forums.
I realize this is primarily a Windows-oriented site, but you do have mobile-oriented forums, so I figured Linux forums wouldn't be a leap too far. Besides that, there's nothing at all wrong with helping devs explore other environments.
(BTW, I ddn't get a notification that you had responded to my original post.)

We do get a lot of .NET articles but we're primarily a developer site, and that includes all technologies.
OK, so let's give it a go [^] and see.

I haven't gotten the insider since the 12th, and am short at least one forum reply over the same time period (several others have gotten  through).
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?

I really need to update the autocorrect feature on this system...
We've had email slowness over the past couple of days that have resulted in emails being delayed. In some cases such as the daily newsletters we had a situation where they didn't complete by the end of the day and so were cancelled and the new day's email started.
The issue was an interesting one: we do a big cache of data which takes a fair bit of time, and has a large timeout associated with it, but the volume grew to a point where it was just a few seconds past the timeout so kept getting into a try/retry spiral. We've (a) increased the timeout, (b) optimised the requests, and (c) are redoing the whole thing so it's chunked better in order to speed it up by a couple of orders of magnitude.

My sympathies. Timeout to short - retry failure loops really suck. Nothing's worse than something that always just works, right up to the point that it fails for something totally unrelated to whatever you're doing.

Yeah - I love the "it always works until it doesn't" bug.
Our hosting guys are always asking "what did you change??".
Apart from several thousand lines of code, nothing, really.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but the last Insider newsletter I received was on November 15. I had been getting them daily for several years. I miss them, what's up?
There are only 10 types of people in this world; those that understand binary, and those that don't.

For some reason you had a Newsletter Topic filter of "Daily". As there was/is any content tagged with this, you did not get any Newsletters.
I have removed this tag and you should be getting your Newsletters tomorrow.

For instance, a new post on 1:17, under Bugs and Suggestions[^] . Usually there an orange icon next to the category menu
indicates new messages since 15-Nov-18 1:21

sorry, didn't see that. by the way, did the missing notification get reported? Usually there is a icon with number next to reputation point indicating total notification. I don't see that anymore.

There are quite a few open issues at the moment. My guess is that Chris and the team are all working hard to clear them up.

I had an answer accepted:
14-Nov-18 5:04AM 25 Authority Answer Accepted Answer 1 Show more applicaiton but the actual posting of the answer 'reputation' record is no where to be found on the list. There may have been some others.
Has this disappeared into the Bob's Private Netherworld or will they be recovered some day. Some of us are still trying to outscore that OG person.
Anyway - when some data's gone missing it may open up adventures into other data having been missed as well.

I looked at the way I worded that and even I misunderstood me. The "answer accepted record" was present (I included it in OP) - but the actual posting of the answer, the 10-pt part, is still not evident. That's what I meant by missing record(s). Normally, where there's one there's many.
I'm enjoying SQL displeasure with postings, myself. It seems some special chars have been getting through and stored (only lately - hmmm) and data request have started to come back empty. As of now, how it's being done is unknown - probably cut&paste from Word or something like that. I've been putting in filters - but it may be another source - which is external data sets that are received and imported daily. So - missing stuff? It ಋ ५ Ӗ ᓉ happens.

Ah, bugger. I was confusing it with QA reports.

Q&A / Q&A-Comments go away with 3.
Forum messages need 5.
users need 10.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
