I have noticed this sometimes during the last days for articles in moderation. Placeholder shown but right clicking for image info (with Mozilla) shows the image in the preview.

We have a sync service that ensures all images are on all sservers. It can take a short time to kick in sometimes. Let me know if you keep seeing these issues.

and nobody cares. probably why this hasn't been noticed. SOME of us work in a shop where VB is the standard...
reading the article by "Jalapeno Bob" from yesterday titled
Getting All "Special Folders" via VB.NET
link to download gives the following response
/KB/vb/1092049/SpecialFolders.zip appears to be missing on our servers. D'oh.
if i click on the 'if your download doesn't start, click here' link, big black windows cmd-looking window appears, with the following text
Ticket: (No ticket provided - possibly an error in the error-system)
Error: An error occurred in this page. The error has been recorded and the site administrator informed.
Abort, Retry, Fail?_

We love VB too. We really do. Can you please try again? There was a problem with the links in the article.

Just had a answer come up in moderation, where it had a link - which was nice and visible in yellow - but the analysis gave:
Token % spam # in ham msgs # in spam
domain:www.codeproject.com 4.40 % 4,593 73 Perhaps it should ignore links to CP?

This value will not increase the probability of being spam. In fact it will tend to reduce the probability, so why add a explicit special case.
The strength of the spam filter is that it learns what is spam based on the moderators' decisions

The issue is that spammer are hiding links in punctuation and spaces and so when it comes time to approve / reject spam, knowing that there are hidden links allows you to spot SneakySpam™

That's kinda the whole idea - a link to CP isn't spam, so it shouldn't be considered in the decision!

So when I write a formula using this code:
<div class="math">$20 \mu \cdot 5$</div>
It shows up correctly, but when I try to do an inline math formula with this code:
20 \mu \cdot 5
It wont show up.

It's not you - it doesn't work in the Article Formatting tips for CodeProject[^] article either!

If Chris can't make it work I excused - I think

In which article?

The formatting tips about LaTex Math states that you should use $...$ for block and (...) for inline...
So it should be
(20 \mu \cdot 5)
It worked for me...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

But it seems like basically all of them have one thing in common.
The same line repeats twenty or so times.
The spam filter might be in the need of a tiny tweak?

See thread below. They are posting normal messages and then editing it a few minutes later and updating with the spam content.

Yes I saw it, and while I haven't seen it happen myself, it makes sense.

With the actual Korean spam run the spammers seem to circumvent the filter by posting a meaningless message and editing it afterwards. I recognised this a few times when entering/reloading a forum and there was a new message with random characters in subject and body which turns into a spam message shortly thereafter.
I don't know if it is possible but it would help when edited messages have to pass the filter too.

We've fixed that little loophole.
More proof that spam isn't by bots.

I comment an article but my comment was not shown yet saying "Not publicly visible"
[^]
So how long does it take to be available?

Ok. I see it now on the article! It was taking quite some time to appear though.
|
|
|
|
|
Again the same issue appear ? Can someone explain why it take such longtime to appear?

Because it's in moderation. I don't know why. But I'm looking at it. It had better be worth it...
