Should be good in a few minutes (IF you specify Javascript as the "lang" attribute)

Once again I commented/answered a Question which is old e.g. (2012) by mistake.
I think I'm not the only one who struggle on this.
Would be nice to "highlight"/mark questions older than "now - x".
"Highlight" is maybe wrong, should more be "downlight"...my English 
[Edit]
Similar history here, but here a rep hunter seems to give an answer and deleted it more or less immediately.

I'm not sure why we need to discriminate against older questions. If it's unanswered then an answer (finally!) is good. If a better answer is discovered, or an answer that uses a newly released feature is also good.

Quote: I'm not sure why we need to discriminate against older questions
Explain this to some members who downvote this immediately. I really try not to do it (answering old Q), but sometimes it happens, because I do not pay enough attention to the date ...
Anyway not a really important thing, only a nice to have.

I guess it comes down to what QA is meant to be:
If it's meant to be a resource where people can find the answer to a problem that someone else has previously faced, then providing better answers to old questions makes sense. But then, shouldn't we be more aggressively kicking off the crap questions - the "do my work for me", the "nowhere near enough detail (after being asked for more detail)", the "totally off-topic", the reposts, etc?
It's not friendly to new posters, but the person searching for an answer doesn't want to wade through 500 pages of unanswered questions, or questions where the answer is a link to a now-deleted blog post, or a link to another unanswered question, or an explanation of why this isn't a good question / why we don't do your homework for you / where to go to hire someone to write your code.
However, if it's meant to be a place where people can ask a question and get an answer, without the unfriendly reputation of StackOverflow, then answering old questions doesn't really make any sense. Even if there isn't an accepted solution, it's unlikely that the user is still waiting for an answer three years later. Old questions should be closed, and if there isn't an answer, removed from the site.
Just my £0.02.

This message First MVC Application for Beginners[^] came up in moderation as possible spam - but it could have been legit, without the context in which it was posted you can't tell.
And the only context you get is
posted as a message on this article "Url Mapping in MVC for Beginner's"
Which is no longer the title of the article (if it ever was, I don't know) so an Article Search can't find it. So I had to let it through, then follow the member messages to get to the article to check the context. At which point it's obvious it's site driving spam.
Could we have the title text be a link to the article or message it's a reply to rather than the article name? Just to help us understand the context with dubious cases?

Normal forum messages already have a "view parent message" or something like that, articles not yet (dunno if it is in the ToDo)

Could you please tell me if my account has been suspended? I cannot see the reputation history.

If you mean the account you used to post this, then no - it seems to be alive.
What do you see when you try to view the rep history? I get a page with no numbers (or table for the numbers) but that happens quite often - I think it's a case of the DB request timing out, buy I could be wrong.
If you mean a different account, then you need to tell us which one!

I do not have any other account on CodeProject.
And yes, I do not see any table with numbers. It's an empty page.

It's not a problem with your account, it's something that happens a fair amount.
I currently get the same thing, but it often comes back if you refresh the page a couple of times, or wait a little while. I suspect it's a "size of the amount of data to process" problem, given it has to extract every action you have ever taken in the years you have been here from every action everybody else has taken since the site was set up before it can begin processing!
It's possible the data needs another index or something just to speed the response up, but it's not a problem with your account.

Lots of images hosted on his own site is possibly the issue?

Possibly related to the malformed code-block? (A couple of <Run> elements have unescaped quotes within the Text property.)

Perhaps it's already resolved after 9 hours, but for me it loads in a few seconds now.

Yep, seems to be resolved now. Also for me now it takes a few second, this compared before about 8 hours, then it really took over 60 Sec.

There are some threads whose message count (on the right, in Thread View) shows that there are 2 messages when in fact there is only the original post. Could it be because someone replied and then deleted the reply? I have observed this on several occasions recently. One example is this post[^].
I believe the count becomes zero when the original post is deleted, but I suppose that is the intended behavior.

Is it possible that there's a reply which is in the moderation queue?

I am unable to find a category for Ubuntu-based articles, there are many for Windows, Win32, Metro etc. But, no Linux or Linux distributions are provided there.
Where should I tag my article? Under C++, QT, Cross-platform, or would you provide us with a Linux and Linux-based-systems category.
