There is an email link at the bottom of their post (see this one) If there isn't they have actively decided they do not want to be contacted privately.

Given the timing of the post I suspect it was me the OP wanted to contact directly so PompeyThree said: they have actively decided they do not want to be contacted privately
definitely applies

Questions which have been updated are now only showing the "updated" date, not the "posted" date.
That makes it much harder to spot when someone's posted new spam answers to old, solved questions.
EDIT: And now they're back.

For today's FSOW OTD I uploaded an image, just in case the characters wouldn't render correctly for some CP members.
On the first round the image showed up in my list of uploads, but Hobby Proggy complained about it not showing up.
I went to my uploads page and low and behold the image was not there anymore.
If this had to with the upload limit of 10MB it would have been nice to receive an error along those lines.
After I deleted some other images, the upload now seems more permanent: FSOW-2016-04-22.png (1.3 KB)
Cheers!

You definitely see an error when it's to do with upload size. I'm guessing it was a sync issue.

Thanks, good to know! I was just astounded that it was first there and little later not.
I didn't think about synching though. 
Cheers!

I've seen images disappear and magically re-appear as well. Small images. Others have commented on that too in their article's comment section, I even got one today!

My posted bug at Broken Quoting button in QA Answer editor[^] shows as "Fixed".
Was I, as the original poster, supposed to be notified (email) that it was marked as "Fixed"?
If so, it doesn't seem to have happened.
If not, it seems like a good idea so the posters of "Bugs" know that it hasn't been overlooked/ignored.

At this point no, you don't get an auto-notification that a message has changed status. It's on the TODO.

I realize it's not the main thing that CP is about, but I'll probably be writing a few Python articles (so are you going to humor just me???) and I just posted an article which really ought to go under a Python language section.
Then again, if you don't want me to post Python articles, just say the word!

I'd like to see them. I think the time is fast approaching when we do need a Python forum and article section.

It's my understanding that Python is the preferred language for Raspberry Pi so I second this.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

We try to add sections on Topics, not languages that implement the topic. If you're after a Python section to discuss the Python Language, then sure. If you want to write an article on MongoDB access using Python then it should probably go in a database section tagged with Python.
Are there any specific examples of articles you're thinking of? Or is it more of a "I want to post Python stuff and have it appear in a section that Python devs would most likely read".
cheers

I have no vested interest either way, but...
The counter-examples are the forums:
"C / C++ /MFC", "C#", "Delphi", "Java", "Objective-C and Swift", "Visual Basic",
and sort of: "LINQ", "Regular Expressions" and "XML / XSL".

Forums are articles are treated differently because articles are more easily categorised by topic, whereas questions and discussions don't always fit in nice buckets (not that articles always do, either).
Articles tend to be discovered - either through Google, site search or newsletters, whereas the forums are more of a place where an expert in a given language can wait and have questions come to them (in a manner of speaking).
For those reasons we have language specific forums, topic specific article sections.
And then we have Quick Answers which is one big ball of mud specifically for questions, filtered by tag.

OK, apparently I misinterpreted the thrust of the discussion...

This article[^] on making property-like events in Python
Also, suggestions for where The Dangers of Duck-Typed Languages[^] is best? It's in the scrapbook for now.
Thanks!

So, I accidentally put in a different email address while asking for my password to be reset, and CP has very thankfully created a new account using this email address.
If you could please delete this account, I'll get back to using the correct account and other scheduled chaos.

You can do it yourself, if you want.
Hover the mouse over your username at the top of the page, and select "My Settings" from the dropdown that appears.
On the right hand side of the page (under your avatar picture, if any) is a checkbox "Close my account"
Tick this, and press the "Save my Settings" button at the bottom of the page.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I've tried to download 12 different projects that were submitted at different times and EVERY ONE of the zip files are corrupt!
At first I thought it was because I wasn't logged in, but I was. Is this possibly a problem on my side?
ANY answer would be appreciated...

Please tell the affected articles (at least some of them) so that the admins can take a look.

I must apologize. I was "right clicking" and "save as" and fount that this doesn't work.
I "clicked" the link and the download was fine. Thanks for the quick reply!

Glad you could sort it out, thanks for the info!
