Yeah, I have posted the same content several times, because I wondered whether it is a bug or it is moderated, deleting the redundant comment is fine. I am also fine with waiting some time before comment is moderated, this is a minor thing.
I am not sure about your comment for timezone and that it has nothing to do with system. Usually such system weight various comments from various users and based on this example set they determine what is spam and what is not. One example from similar issue: years ago, bunch of football fans decided to make fun and cheer up few local players. So, for Macedonian version of Google translate they started to confirm as input a name of relatively unknown player and as a translation in English a name of world famous player appear. Both names, both strings has nothing to do, neither as character proximity, neither as similar character combinations. So the translation service just weighted what users tells it - this sequence of characters is being transformed into another and real users confirms it is fine. And when this is confirmed by hundreds of fans for a specific geographic location it stays like that. This funny translations lasted for several months, before being fixed.
So something similar is happening here - for specific settings your spam system looks at some references and treat comments like spam. Few persons can easily get the last comments made by a user, post them in various sites and then mark them there as spam. They just need to know which sites are used as references by your spam system and that's it. Of course, this is just my suggestion, it might has nothing to do with real reason

See my comment to Matthew's message. I notice that Kiev and Sofia are in the same timezone so that may be the issue.

I've reviewed your account and do not see anything suspicious.
We would not change you Time Zone setting.
Have you used a shared computer, say in an internet café, and not logged out?
The only other possibility I can think of is that someone has either obtained your credentials, or hacked you computer and is using your account.
You might want to change your password.

I have the same issue. I set my timezone entry to GMT (London etc.) but next time I check, it will say Casablanca. The two timezones are the same so I wonder if it is something related to showing the timezone names in alphabetic order?

I am located in Sofia, Bulgaria. Bulgaria has only one time zone and official time in Bulgaria is UTC+3. In Bulgaria there are summer and winter times, winter is consider default. When it goes to it, it goes to UTC+2. I am not sure if they (government) still keep changing that or it has been made obsolete.
In your system there are two time zones, in which Sofia falls: the first is GMT +1:00 Sarajevo; Skopje; Sofia; Vilnius; Warsaw; Zagreb; and the second is GTM +2:00 Helsinki; Riga; Tallinn; Kyiv; Sofia; Vilnius;
I set several times the first one, GMT +1:00, and in some period of time it goes to the second one, GMT +2:00. So I have notice this change and started to wonder why it happens. That's it.
I believe it is not a security issue. I do not use shared machine and I believe nobody hacked one of mines. Account is old, from 2007 and during this period I have changed several machines, for sure I have logged from many places. I clear user data quite often and I also disconnect all existing connections, if any, expect the current one. However, I am not 100% sure, after all I buy a retail Windows 10 OS and I am sure there is a backdoor in it, but I guess only government security employees can access it and I don't see a reason for them to do it.

There is an "answer" stuck in QA moderation:
It's been there for 12 hours or more, and has resisted all my attempts to accept or reject it.
It may be an artifact of some kind: it's got no content, it's to an old question, and the member has been here for many years without picking up any recent rep points, even for logging in.
But it just will not die ...

Even after an update by CodeProject editor (Deeksha), my blog is still not showing up in the AI section: Data Visualization – Insights with Matplotlib
Looking at other articles, seems it just needs the AI tag which is present on my blog. Am I missing something or there is a bug?

I notice the tags on the home page are still old/auto defined. They were updated and are not the ones that are in article currently.
Looks like updated tags are not reflecting on home page.

I see you tried. Will take did not turn a low hanging as it seemed so earlier. OR the fix is on the way?

The biography of users that doesn't have enough reputation is hidden with the message: "This member doesn't quite have enough reputation to be able to display their biography and homepage."
And is fine like this.
But if we (long time members that help in the S&A or at least the protectors) could have a button to "make visible for me" we could be a bit more effective hunting spammers.

I've been mulling this over and ... there are some users that we generally just don't trust - everything about them says "spammer" but there's no actual spam in what they are posting. And generally, we add these to a mental "watch list" of people to keep an eye on. But with the mental problems affecting all us senior citizens I at least tend to forget some of them.
Would it be possible to have a protector-and-above option to send everything a member posts to moderation? And a list we could view and revise as necessary?
We have a "never moderate" option for those with sufficient rep, so it would just be handy to have dodgy members always checked before anything gets through.

Maybe not sending to moderation but keep the list anyways to have a fast look by protectors or staff? It would be easier and faster than having to go through searches or the profile lists.

The page refreshes automatically (automatically -> I have never been a fan of automation tbh), but the "Sort by" changes nothing in the returns.
How impossible is it to change from latest posts to something relevant?
(perhaps I need more memory?  )

What were you searching for. If you were searching for "*" then the default search is new->old as relevance is meaningless.

No. Let me give you steps to duplicate the erroneous behavior.
1. Go to The Lounge, type into the forum (search messages) "Bela Lugosi"
2. Since you've already cleared the filters there more than one time today after logging on, the page to which hitting the return button in The Lounge (the dedicated Search.aspx webpage) redirects where the Search box contains the search term. As you say above, "Sort by" is indeed "Created (New-Old).
3.Now change the "Sort by" to RELEVANCE.
Nothing happens. In fact "Sort by" still displays "Created(New-Old)" and never changes state to "Relevance".
I will give it a pass though for sorting by new to old.
Have I changed the title of this thread by implying that this is not the first time I've started FF today and I've been fiddling with the left panel bits? (On that note, the page widening behavior using a mouse where the right panel gets usurped by the content in the middle, page "justification" by a term, seems to have cleared itself up over the weekend  ).

Yep, this is a bug. Looking at it.

Seems we (I) had a hack where if you are searching forums it would change the default from Relevance to Created(New-Old) on the assumption that this was a reasonable thing to do.
I should know better than to try and second guess the user. Just let them do what they want.
Removing the hack.

Previously: Bugs and Suggestions: I've Been Hunted[^]
Since the original post, I've gotten four more - three in one day, one today.
Surely there's some sort of record to find out who's doing this.
Upvotes and downvotes are both useful when used as intended. When used en masse, like the occasional drive-by down-voter, or this character of questionable character, they destroy the utility of it as a commentary.

I don't think either are warranted unless accompanied by some form of rationale. What's the point of an anonymous downvote or even upvote? I loathe polls where any idiot can just click. The rationale for an upvote might be as simple as "I learned something", but a downvote requires more justification. If it's more than a case of poor writing, the downvoter is claiming to know more than the author and should at least be willing to elaborate and even debate the topic.

On the contrary, I was pointing out that they are useful - but when either is done without and reason (as in the periodic drive-by's on the site) they just pointless clutter.

I disagree. CP has a system in place to manage itself and one of those features is to allow others to vote on items or to report them as a certain thing.
I think you shouldn't worry about points. They mean nothing.
