I've noticed that, from time to time, the embedded images in my article don't show up in the browser window. I have to close and open the browser again to see the images. This would suggest there is a problem in Code Project's web servers.
If you need to analyse the HTML, here's my article: Introduction to the Smalltalk Programming Language[^]

I cannot see any missing image icons in that article.

I said, "from time to time." It's an intermittent issue.

For me: With Chrome it Looks fine. With IE Images are missing, but are at least displayed after context-menu-show image.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Hi,
When I checked your article on my iPad (Safari) I did see that all the article images were missing. So I went over to my laptop and checked with MSEdge and the images were all there. Went back to the iPad and refreshed the page and your images were now on the iPad.
The only unusual thing I see is that you are using the extension "Jpeg" with mixed upper/lower. Although this really shouldn't be a problem.
Best Wishes,

You're right, this shouldn't be a problem. That's why I believe it's an issue with Code Project's servers. Perhaps it's a configuration issue. Perhaps it's a coding error.

I don't know. Codeproject is pulling javascript from 14 different external sites.
Not completely sure but I think it may be one of the advertisement banners at the top of the page. I refreshed the page a few dozen times and eventually hit an ad.doubleclick.com advertisement that dynamically generates some javascript code that parses all the image tags on the page for replacing some characters.

I'm assuming a joke icon was missing here?

I wouldn't put it past an advertiser to do something stupid like that, sadly. I've seen ads that inject more ads into the page content recursively.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I get this on various sites sometimes. Never could figure out the root cause. Likely a brief blip with one of the packet routers.

I'm new to Code Project, and in writing my first article, I discovered an enormous pain point: every time I enter the article editor, whether to update an existing article or to create a new article, there is no option to cancel out of it. As soon as you enter the editor, a new article or draft is automatically created, and if you change your mind, you can't simply quit. You have to jump through hoops to get rid of the unintended creation. This is extremely annoying.
My suggestion is: give us an option to cancel or quit. How hard can it be???

At the moment setting a tag filter affects all the tabs in questions. Could it be possible to add a new tab or few like "Filtered new" or "Filtered active" which would be the only ones taking the filter into account. This way both filtered and unfiltered question list would be available at the same time.

I think this would add too much noise to the UI, which is already noisy enough

When a comment is deleted in the Q&A section, there is text next to the comment indicating such. Why is there still an option to edit a deleted comment? Why not just remove it from the list of comments altogether, especially if that comment hasn't been replied to?

It gives members with high rep the chance to undelete a comment someone else may have spuriously deleted. Only those with high enough rep see the comments.

Noble feature, just seems confusing at first.

Hi Chris,
I just came across this page
Found my article copied[^]
with spam comments from "Thomas4loans", the comments are delete but visible, the account is closed too.
Is there a way to physically remove those comments ? Or one should edit them an erase the contain ?

You can see that content because of your status. Mere mortals can't.
We do this to enable trusted members such as yourself the ability to undo accidental (or malicious) deletions.

Perhaps if an account is closed for spam or abuse, all of their deleted comments could be removed?
(Possibly after a delay, in case the account was closed by mistake.)

I seem to be getting this message about every 5th or 6th comment I make:
The bad part is that I can't seem to remember to copy my comment first before clicking the Submit button.

I got an alert about that and we're looking into it now.
I think we're gonna need a bigger boat.

On a possibly related subject, I've noticed the site takes a serious amount of time to respond for several hours early in the morning UK time (around 05:00 UTC to around 09:00 UTC) but "settles down" after that. It used to be this was just Sundays, and I assumed a weekly site backup was in progress, but it's most days now.

Pretty good! Yesterday morning was a little slow, but nowhere near the scale it has been.

When pasting a URL into a message or answer, there is a script which attempts to retrieve the title of the URL. Nine times out of ten, this works perfectly.
But quite frequently, the script hangs. When this happens, the entire page is frozen indefinitely. There is no way to cancel the script, and no way to copy the partially-composed message so that you can try again.
Please decrease the timeout. If it doesn't get the title within 30 seconds, it should just insert the link without a title.
