Strange! I figured you'd want to try to make sure folk can sign in/up regardless of adblocker settings?
Mine is usually turned off for sites I visit with any regularity (e.g. CP) but was trying to log in from someone else's machine at the time - then reproduced the issue on mine.
I'm guessing it is the adblocker mis-reading the log-in as an ad?

I hate it when my picture quality suffers on my stolen cable. It's the worst. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yeah - I find that taking your electricity feed straight from the street, rather than through your meter, often improves the quality on your stolen cable.

A neighbor of mine bypassed his meter and went directly to the pole for electricity. The electrical company doesn't pursue criminal charges in such a case - they just come out an remove the shunt, and ONLY if someone reports it.

I use this - A detailed guide for using the MVPS HOSTS file[^]
It uses the hosts file to block connections to ad sites. The hosts file they provide is updated every month or so. I've been using this for about 10 years.

If we are going to allow GitHub code links (and personally I'm on the fence here) we need to find a way to make them more prominent, in the same way that CP hosted ZIP files are.
Look at this would-be article: JQuery Image Upload with Razor Pages[^] the github link is one word in the "Conclusion" paragraph, and far too easy to miss.
Perhaps we need a "github source link" below the existing "download" insert area of the article editor, so we can automatically make it prominent at the top?

We are actually in the process of beta testing something for GitHub projects. Hopefully next week.

Will you also be updating the instructions how to properly express and enforce CPOL licensing if the project is hosted at GitHub?
|
|
|
|

The licence chosen is up to the author. They can use whichever locence they choose.

Hey guys, congratulations to everyone who got awarded as a CodeProject MVP, and thanks for awarded me with this honor as well. The thing is, I was just surfing my profile and I saw that the badges are finally live now and the MVP Badge is quite amazing. I am unsure whether you would be able to parcel sticker for them with the certificate, at least I would appreciate this sticker. 
But, I had to suggest that you can release a bigger size image that we can reuse on our blogs/websites. I would love to use the image to demonstrate my profile and the status. This is the image I am talking about.
What say you?

Yeah the size which is used for Microsoft MVP is quite nice, we might take that as example

It looks like the zip file didn't make it. Can you either re-edit your article and upload the zip, or email to submit@codeproject.com and I'll upload it for you.

I tried it again myself, but to no avail. I have sent an email to submit. Thank you very much.

No need for the email: looks like you got it fixed yourself - well done.

On many occasions I have recommended in other technical / programming forums to read Code Project "How to post / answer question".
In other words - I hold Code Project in high regards partially because these "How to ..." instructions.
Unfortunately I am beginning to see " I am the expert , do what I say ... Read the book " attitude in some newer forum replies. I call such replies "sermons" and have encountered few of such replies to my own posts.
Would it be possible to include in "How to" instruction to refrain from expressing such "teaching" attitude? Specially when most computer geeks are no teachers by profession.
There is a big difference between post explaining the resolution of the problem and just nagging OP to read such and such book starting from Chapter 1.
Cheers and best in 2018

How about "Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.".
Does that cover it?

Maybe add the LMGTFY as well?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Nah - I always want to punch someone when they throw that one at me. I know it has it's uses but I just have a personal bias against it.
