We've always used cookies (as with every other site) to persist login. If you're using incognito mode then Google explicitly states:
Chrome won’t save the following information:
Cookies and site data
So your login won't be persisted.

Dear Chris Maunder,
Thanks for the reply. But I have to explain this clearly. I don't want Chrome to store my login in cookies... But within one incognito window, I am reading an article, trying to download, it redirects to Login page (on the same incognito window). Once I login, it should go to the article page again, but now its going to home page. Previously, with incognito window, it goes to article page and not not. It's ok and I am used to it now. I open the download page in "Open in new tab" and managing this.

When I click on "My Bookmarks" in the dropdown below my name, I get taken to my bookmark page. Looking at the tabs at the top, the focus is on the leftmost tab titled "Forum Message", but the display shows the bookmarked articles. In order to get the forum message bookmarks I need to switch to a different tab and then click the "Forum Message" again.

Dear administrator
I am not sure this is the right place, but could you delete my account? I do not need
this account any more.

I have 143 "critical" messages in the Bitdefender message board.
"Codeproject has tried an SQL-Injection attack. We have blocked the connection to avoid, that the attacker gains access to sensitive data"
About the situation... it is not a big deal. Add CP to the whitelist and problem solved.
But I thought I should tell you, just in case.

could you provide any details as to the page or code that is 'attacking'.
While I am sure that our code doesn't do this, it may be a something pulled in with a supporting js library, or you have something on your system injecting something, in either case it is something we need to address and quickly.

First of all, sorry about the delay.
I am sure CP is not the problem. Previous antivirus never complained about.
About the messages... That's all what the antivirus gave me. I can't see anything else. I am trying to solve another bug on their side and I am in the process of re-installing and preparing an      Email to them by opening an "issue" ticket.
If I manage to find any more info I will contact you as soon as I can.

On the other hand...
I thought SQL-Injection is only dangerous for Web-Sites with databases on the background, not for the user surfing a site. Or am I missing something?

SQL Injection is only one form of injection attack, there is also XSS injection, and some other less common ones: What are Injection Attacks? | Acunetix[^]
Not all of these are anything to do with the site, some can be performed via browser extensions for example.

ok...
But the messages were about "SQL-Injection" 100% sure.
pity is that solve the other bug I had to uninstall and remove the device from the list. So I have them no more.
I'll be checking next days and probably post a screenshot if it happens again

How would an antivirus spot SQL Injection, given that is normally instigated from the server code, not the client? Very strange ...

I know... that's what bothers me. And why I said "false positives", it makes not really sense for me.
I edited my rant having the messages in an opened window.

You're not suggesting an anti-virus manufacturer would report spurious messages to make people feel more protected, are you?

Hi Mathew... it happened again.
 
I was just editing a message in the spam forum to add "- gone" to the subject as I always do.
URL: New Discussion[^] (only the ad on Bob's right side) and it is nothing suspicious (one is: Take our 3 minutes survey...[^] and the other is files converter[^] )
the AV jumps when I hit "post message" or "enter" to publish. Several reloads brought nothing. If you need translation of the messages tell me.
I'll try later again
EDIT: I was able to edit the messages before [^] and after[^] it without problems. Only that one is annoying me.

Dear Colleagues,
Today I've visited my professional profile page and noticed that the biography I've posted is missing from my profile. Recently, I've made no change to my biography, but the biography passage I've posted suddenly disappeared from my profiles page.
Can you help me out to correct this ?
Thanks a lot in advance. 
|
|
|
|
|
I'd so much appreciate if someone will help me out to recover my biography texts. It's an urgent question.

Give them a chance! The staff are all in Canadia, and as such are on Toronto Time: GMT-4, so it's currently 06:54 at CodeProject. Give them a couple of hours to get into the office, have a cup of ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) , an so on!

Thanks a lot. I'll be patiently waiting for the problem to be resolved. Also, I've manually restored my biography text, *BUT*, I'm still wondering why my original biography text and time-zone have been unexpectedly modified.

|
|
|

Can anyone help me out with this problem ? I still have not received any replies from CodeProject's Team. As far as I know, it's already 11:46 in Toronto, but no one has replied.

Thank you very much for your reply, but I've updated the same biography text after I've encountered that it was missing from my profile. And, also, at the present moment, I see that someone has logged onto my profile from a different device. Also, if you've monitored my own activity, you would notice that the time-zone for my profile changes to UTC+2 Jerusalem every time I set the correct time zone. It means that someone else is currently logged on my profile and manually changes the time-zone and other preferences.
Specifically, I'm so much afraid that my account will be unlawfully deleted by someone else who's presently logged in.
I've sent two e-mail messages to Chris Maunder and Sean Ewington with my question about account security issues, but have not received any replies yet.
Can you help me out to protect and secure my account at CodeProject I so much treasure.
I'd kindly so much appreciate.
