I don't know how long it will remain, reported as "offtopic". Anyways...
On a Rainy Night in Portland[^] contains:
Quote: Editorial Note
This article is an entry in our Microsoft Azure IoT Contest. Articles in this section are not required to be full articles so care should be taken when voting.
1) In my opinion, this blog is not worth to be in the contest. And not sure how it got selected being a fed blog without proper tags.
2) Additionally... (and the main reason of this post) If the contest is finished as said in (Microsoft Azure IoT Contest[^]), how can be still getting "participants"?
As a side note, there are still a lot of wrong "editorial note" tagged articles in the list posted here[^]

When I get this 99% of the time I've just Ctrl-V'd and thus have my hands on the keyboard not the mouse; being able to arrow up/down to select quote or as-is, would be much faster than taking my hand off to grab the mouse.
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've a couple of different ideas of what you may have in mind but aren't sure.
I'm guessing you mean expose the code in the search engine, indexed by namespace, class and method, (etc) names?

It seems that mirroring the code (with correct reference) to a github account will do the trick. It seems hotexamples.com search github...

This is a family friendly site, John, you should know that.
OOOhhhhhhh - you mean like real-time programmer discussions. Silly me. ahem.
Yes, a few times.
Given it's 20 years after we partied like it was 1999 what are your thoughts on live chats these days?

I'm in favour. I've found talking to the dead deeply unsatisfying. They never hold up their end of the conversation.

In this case the preview image has too big height. As you can see it's generates an incorrect displaying.
I have found this issue here.
Perhaps You should set fixed height and width for preview images. Or set the max height and width.

I had to rebuild my machine, and the latest Chrome browser has no sign in / password text boxes for existing users, I need to use my facebook account.
This is what I see:
My 'real' sign on is as 'stoneyowl2'

Are you using uBlock?

Not to my knowledge. I am using Adblock, but I had been using that on my old machine, with the same version of Chrome.

Well, I turned off AdBlock and I now get the user login/password boxes. Weird

Unfortunately not really weird.
Imagine a free concert that was sponsored by, say, a local restaurant or Music school. At the concert you get a program with the acts to be shown, with some ads promoting the sponsoring restaurant or school. An Ad Blocker is like a guy who grabs that program from you and cuts out the ads with a pair of scissors. Sometimes it works, but sometimes the back of an ad contains information you need, like where the toilets are or a coupon for a free beer. Or the staples fall out.
We've seen it time and time again and to anyone unwilling to pay 30% of their advertising revenue1 to AdBlock Plus to be whitelisted it's a painful level of intrusion that materially, and deeply, affects many websites ability to pay the bills. We used to try and work around the things that ABP broke but it kept changing and in many cases there is zero we can do because of the way ABP manipulates our DOM.
As to why they actively break our sign in page and what that has to do with advertising: You'd have to ask them that. From my point of view I feel like a shop owner who comes into the shop each day to find the front door smashed. Again.

Chris,
That's perfectly fair, but can you at least add a note on the login page saying you need to turn off ad blockers?

1) Just realized that I don't get notifications about new/updated messages on my articles anymore  Does anyone know where I can turn this off again?
2) Here is a message I've been missing until now:
AvalonDock [2.0] Tutorial Part 1 - Adding a Tool Window
I am sure the download was there at some stage - is it possible to recover the last version from the history?
3) As a site note - it would be a great improvement if I would get a notification because someone tried to download something but the download was not successful

1. In your settings under "Emails" is this:
I've checked the "Enable Article forum notification emails" which controls the notifications.
2. That's not a bad idea. In the meantime I've looked and cannot find that missing file. Any chance you could re-upload or send it to us and we'll re-upload?
cheers

I found the missing file in my backups but it contains only an html page of the download error html page even though its a zip file - so, it seems like I lost it a while ago without realizing it since I never tried actually unzipping the file that appears to contain the html of the download html page ... I'll see if I can re-construct the content or search for older backups ...
Thanks Dirk

Thanks mate.

I uploaded the re-constructed zip file now and realized that I missed another message:
AvalonDock [2.0] Tutorial Part 1 - Adding a Tool Window
until now since I never got a notification about it - can someone please configure this for me and send me a test message through the forum? And like I said, I still think its a good idea to generate a notification mail if someone 'downloads' a file that cannot be found on the server 
Cheers Dirk

OK, I now have been receiving notifications as expected, not sure if somethings changed in the meantime?
