OK thanks. I did check the soapbox before asking and nothing had appeared there since your post. I guess it was deleted.

Nope... it is still there. Getting new posts too.

I was after a Linux OS forum that didn't really cater to programming questions.

Last night I finished off and pushed out this article.
When I checked the preview immediately before publish, all images were there and everything looked fine.
After publish, in the released version, the 3 images relating to the CPU loadings were missing, when I went back into edit article and check this morning, the file list on the right showed that images were listed, but red warning that images not found. Re-uploaded again, adjusted the article with the new ones.
So somewhere down the publish path, the 3 images had vaporised from your servers.

This is an issue we've been chasing for weeks. We have a decentralised, rather than a centralised, static image store and when uploading images they need to be replicated to all stores. The issue is that since upgrading our server OS the replication has been failing and we're not 100% sure. The specific errors are either permissions or "file in use" (which can be the same thing, really) but neither make any sense given the way we copy.
I have a couple more ideas we can try, but in the meantime we have a backup sweeper that resyncs files every 15 mins.
If we can't nut it out then we just move to centralised and be done with it. Annoying (from a systems point of view) but simpler from a coding point of view.

I was wondering if it had anything to do with the file types? All the images are jpg, and all were added at different times, BUT;
- the 3 CPU ones were grabbed with screenshot, cropped and saved using MSPaint
- the other images of the consoles, were caught and saved using snipping tool.
Are you doing any file validity tests in the chain and the cpu ones were binned?
Edit: ignore that, i re-used the same images as originally uploaded, so if it was that, it would repeat.....clearly not. excuse my brain fart.

The Lounge[^] And from what I see, that's pretty much why she's here: to post click-bait.
If it's going to be like this, and the account not disabled as spammer, it should go through Chris so CP gets a piece of the action.

No, it is quite valid. Jovita is the competition co-ordinator for CodeProject. Take a look at the competition if you are a Docker expert.

OK - I just perceived a poster who only seemed to post competitions with likely registrations. The kind of data a commercial/spammer would love to have.
I'll just wait for something to roll around that I know/care how to do.

The Code Project staff are those beleaguered souls who are working full time on keeping the CodeProject machine ticking over. Dedication above and beyond the call of duty is the order of the day. Think of them in your prayers.

It's a couple of days that the Ad at the top of the page shows clicbaiting spammy articles, as in the following
Especially the second line is a proper clickbait with all the trimmings (translated: "Italy is in ruins - Italy's secret leaked out The problems unleashed behind everyone's backs"). This is not developer related, not interesting, quite alarming and points to gods know where.
Up to now I used twice the report function on that ad... just pointing it out to the team because I saw it's not an isolated problem so maybe you'd want a nice chat with the company or adjust some knobs.

I suspect it wasn't actually removed, but that someone with the necessary permissions edited the message to remove the spam content.
The same thing seems to have happened to several of that spammer's messages.

Could be. There are quite a lot of this kind of messages in that specific article...
I'm not sure if they should be reported now since the spam detector A.I. might get inaccurate signals

When I find a "message closed" with a "member no longer available" in the forums I tend to delete it, just to tidy up. But sometimes it goes away, and sometimes it's replaced by Message Removed[^] and I can't see any reason why it "deletes" or "removes".
Is there some logic which I'm clearly missing here?

If it has child messages then you can't delete the message. The entire thread needs deleting (not sure if you have that privilege)

No child messages - I'm used to that one, and just delete from the bottom up.
