No need to apologies.
Want help to add new languages support to pre tag ?
I have created a few wordfiles to add support for new languages on UltraEdit.

I've posted 11 articles on CodeProject since April, 2017. I've had 128 ratings across all articles. My average rating was 4.99 stars. I was invited to write for CodeProject's ContentLab as well. While my articles are not getting hundreds of thousands of views like many others do, they still have SOME readership and overall I have established a pretty good reputation here.
This morning I posted a new article and somebody gave it 2 stars. I'm wondering if I have any recourse for fixing this because I do not believe it could possibly have been a legitimate rating. That one rating drags down everything, and is going to seriously diminish readership of that article. Either somebody did it by accident, or somebody was just being nasty. I'm quite sure that whoever rated two stars would be completely unable to justify the rating.
I'm a 58 year old American male who specializes in things way outside the mainstream. As such I have not been able to find a job since leaving Microsoft (layoffs) in 2008. I rely on these articles and I'm very, very careful about posting them, editing them, etc. Two stars is impossible.
Is there anything I can do in this case, or am I just SOL?

Ignore it. If people post low ratings without explaining why, then their opinion is probably worthless.

Thank you ... hopefully I'm overestimating the impact it will have.

The noise filter will almost certainly take care of it:
If an awesome article gets 50 "5" votes and then a single "1" vote our thinking is "something's wrong". Not all members play nice so we filter out spurious or malicious votes that are further than a certain deviations from the weighted raw score. The final score displayed is the weighted score using only unfiltered votes.

Thanks ... my stuff is very non-mainstream so getting 50 votes at all on one of my articles would probably mean I died and went to Heaven.

Should be good now.

You're right! We can not control everything and monitor everything!

I think a lot of people just submit their blog and say, "well that's that." I'm guessing people don't want to edit their HTML on CodeProject, and they'll just wait for someone else to do it.

Both got approved although the images are missing.
@Sean-Ewington would you like to have a look and maybe some words with the approvers?

This is a bizarre middle ground. Yes it is allowed in the bio. I don't know why it isn't in his bio. I'll ask him to put it there.

Please help fix this error.

I just published another article and noticed I had a grammar error. I went in and click on update article and all my images went away (without making any changes to the article itself). I never saved off my grammar change and clicked on revert to last published and that didn't do anything.
Using C# .NET to Read and Write from Azure Key Vault Secrets[^]
The images seem to show in the image control on the page. However if I go directly to the image that do not appear they are there.
The image link in the control is here:
https://www.codeproject.com/KB/security/1430794/CreateResource.PNG
but the doc image states its here (and its not)
https://www.codeproject.com/KB/Articles/1430794/CreateResource.PNG
I had a LOT of issues getting the images to display and display correctly in creating this article (took me hours of work)…. I think there may be an issue....
Edit: I went back into the article and reselected the images. This is a fairly painful process. If I have issues that need to be corrected or updated in the future I will be thinking twice about updating because of this.

I found a version where the images are visible, but they are also far too big. Maximum width is supposed to be 600 pixels.
|
|
|
|
|
They are working now because I re-added them. All the images disappeared when I clicked on update article.
|
|
|
|
|
I just looked again after getting the images up and the pictures are missing again. I don't have the time or energy to re-add the pictures every hour or so. Can someone look into this? This time I did nothing but navigate to the document.
