This article Getting Started with iPhone and iOS Development[^] has attracted more than it's share of spammers, and needs a tidy up. But when I try to delete the closed messages, they are all going to "message removed".
Could an admin wield a quick hoover round the forum, perhaps a mild dusting, spray some polish in the air? Cheers!

Hi,
I've been on holidays in Canada and Scotland for a month and am now back in Australia. I just realised that the usual emails (Daily Build and News) stopped around 27 September. I recall receiving a notification that I had to give some new permission due to government regulation change. When I clicked it said that I was already OK.
I have checked my settings and I can find nothing which would stop the emails.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ian Maurer

Hey Ian
Your account looks fine from this end. We had some slowness in the emails late last week so if the issue is still happening let me know and I'll dig in further.
cheers

Hi Chris. I had twiddled a couple of settings and saved my profile yesterday. So whether through that or your intervention the good news is that the emails (and your subtitle humour) are now flowing again!
Thanks, Ian
p.s. Totally off topic, but if any of your readers also sing in choirs they might like to know that my humorous choral piece "A Choral Menagerie" went down well with the audiences on our recent Canadian tour. It can be found on the SheetMusicPlus website.

Hey there,
just wanted to vote on an article and I got again the message that I need to confirm my email address.
This happens like every 3-4 weeks to me.
Can you lookup if there's something wrong in the database with my account please?
It seems, my confirmation is not registered.
Thanks, cheers, Mike

Your email is confirmed, but if you change your email then the confirmation will need to be redone.
Did you change anything with your account?
cheers

Years ago I changed my email, I think 2014 or so. Then I confirmed.
Everything was good since mid-2018 (maybe June?)
Then suddenly I needed to re-confirm.
In August again... then in September, and now again yesterday.
Everytime when I vote or do something with articles, maybe edit, comment,... things like that.
Confirmation always pops up on the articles-pages, maybe always when it's more then 30 days after my last action there?? Some cookie-thing maybe?

That's an odd one.
Email confirmation is stored in the database, not in a cookie, so even if you wiped cookies and then logged back in we would have a date when you last confirmed your email.
I'm not even sure where to start with this one because I've not heard of this particular form of this issue before. Your account looks totally fine.
Are you using any ad-blockers (which shouldn't actually affect anything, but...)? Are you logging in and out each time you visit? Any strange meteorological events taking place when this happens?
cheers

Ad Blocker yes but whitelisted cp (supporting sites that are worth it - always  )
Other things:
No aliens here recently (at least I can't remember *shock*)
No thunderstorms and never used cp with my notebook while taking a shower.
I use this account at home and at work, so it's 2 PC's involved but both chrome's are logged in to the same google account and use the same bookmark, everything.
Would it help if I open such a topic again when it happens next time and then i will NOT confirm my mail, so you can look into the db while this issue is up?

Yeah - that'd be brilliant.
Except you may not be able to post.
If it happens again just email me directly at chris@codeproject.com.
cheers

Yeah that's right.
Chris you can delete your address out again - stored it on my side.
thanks!

So I was just reading The Lounge "Technology's Gender Problem"[^] and decided to open the link.
The link itself point to the article, but the [^] link points to a post I JUST posted (hours after the gender post was written).
I can only guess that the [^] links to another post for everyone.
Unless the poster did some really impressive scripting I'm not sure how this is even possible 
I checked the links in the TIOBE post beneath it, but it doesn't have the same problem.
<Edit>
Now the [^] in the gender post links to the gender post itself, perhaps because that's the last message I viewed?
</Edit>
<Edit>
Ok, so this is "fixed", although it was never broken (see Richards answer)

The href on the [^] link is blank, so it points to the current URL.
It's also missing the title="New Window" attribute, and has the non-standard rel="nofollow noopener" attribute, so I suspect the user may have typed the link manually.

Hi,
I have updated my RaptorDB article (and ticked the "mark as updated") but it is not showing up in the updated article list on the main page.
Thanks.

Are you following stuff? If you're on the "Following" tab and your article isn't tagged by attributes you follow it won't show.
Also: if you edit the article within a week of it being posted or last edited then that update won't be listed.
cheers

I tidied up a QA question earlier ... How to find missing record's in sqlserver[^], did all the edits in one hit, but the history shows me having updated it 3 times.
Obviously not a showstopper, just a heads up.
