Thanks mate, they seem to be imported now
Is there anything I could have done to kickstart the process? I think I read that feeds are meant to be ingested hourly, but it looks like mine was inactive for about a month or so. Or was there something in my feed that caused it do be dormant until manually invoked?

If there is an issue, it may be on our end. I'm keeping an eye on Technical Blogs as they come in to make sure the aggregator isn't busted. Sometimes it needs a kick.

The hamsters will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe articles are now slotted automatically, based on their tags. So you have to play with the tags until your article lands in an appropriate category.
If Chris is listening, I predict that this scheme will eventually go the way of the Wool Reserve Price.

In that case the question becomes how did those tags show up and how can I change them? I cannot image having put them there in the first place.

When you edit an article, there is a section at the top for adding tags. You can add them manually, by checking boxes, or automatically, by clicking on a button. I believe the automatic approach looks for keywords in your article. If you never added any tags to your article, I'm guessing that they were added automatically.
EDIT: I quickly looked at all your articles, and they all have tags. Some make sense, and others...

Thanks, I'll try that.
EDIT: I tried and seems hamsters are acting up again. Changed the tags for Stern-Brocot Trees and their Applications to "Algorithms" and "C++" making sure I don't press "Detact tags automatically". The end results is: "C++", "XML", "Objective-C", "Algorithm"

I'm afraid we don't have a Win32 section. It seems you have moved these articles now. Is their new section better?

Quote: I'm afraid we don't have a Win32 section Hmm, I see one under “Articles” > “Browse Topics” > “Desktop “Programming”.
EDIT Also, as explained in a previous message, the system seems to invent tags that I didn’t apply.

Ah, shame on me. I've moved those first two articles you mentioned into the Win32 section.
I'm afraid the incorrect tags is a known issue we are still working out the kinks on.

No worries, it’s not that important or urgent. Just post a message when it’s finished.

It's been a few years since I was active on Codeproject. And I've noticed a change, or it might just be a feeling. Is it so that people don't engage so much on other developers' work these days?
There used to be lots of comments on every new article.
I think that the feedback, and the discussions are one important drive to make developers share code and articles, anyway.
Take care!

Looking at your recent articles on Backgammon which seems like a niche topic. This could be the reason behind it.

I'm not sure I see the connection.
But anyway, thanks for the note.

GitHub (and Nuget) recognize this declaration for a code block in their standard mark-down language:
``` C#
```
When imported, this comes out with "pl-c", plus a strange attribute tied to each method I declare. It does not in any way resemble the original code block(s).
Since the GitHub links are auto-refreshed, I cannot simply "fix" the problem here, since each new imported revision will over-write my changes and the original bad markup will reappear.
May I suggest that the Code Project adapt the full nuance and detail of markdown languages in use around the Internet?

Just realized that most (all?) of my articles are in the wrong section (e.g. should be Desktop Programming / Windows Forms, but instead is Web Development / HTML).
This is most definitely my fault, but how do I fix it?
Can I move an article to a new section, or that task in the domain of someone with admin rights?
Thanks,
Graham

I believe that articles are now categorized based solely on their tags. This is a very recent change and may still be in flux. There is no longer a way to explicitly categorize an article yourself. All you can do is play with your tags until your article ends up in the category that you think appropriate.

If you let me know what section you would like each to appear in, I will do my best to make it happen.

Thanks, but as per Greg's suggestion, I was trying first to fix this myself.
I moved most of my articles to "Desktop Programming", which is an improvement. But I think a better location is "Desktop Programming / Windows Forms", but I don't know what tag(s) will get it to that new location. I expected to find some tag referring to WinForms under Technology, but no luck.
Currently the tags are: C#, .NET, Intermediate, controls, Dev, desktop.
As for my article "A Tale of Two Timers", I'm not sure where it should go. It's about Windows internals, and the programming in the article is a side issue. Currently it's in the section "Time", which you cannot get to using the articles menu. Is that a different bug?
Thanks,
Graham

How do I get my article into the section "Desktop Programming / Windows Forms"?
I checked other articles already there, and the key tag seems to be "WinForms". Could not find the tag (should it be under "Technology")? I added it manually, but my article is still only in the section "Desktop Programming".
Any suggestions?
Graham

Hi Graham,
I added a WinForms tag to your articles and that put them in the desired section. As for your Time article, I gave it a C# tag that put it into the C# category (the language topic is meant to be a catch all if all else fails).
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Alas, the articles with the WinForms tag are still in the section "Desktop Programming". If I select Articles -> Browse Topic -> Desktop Programming, the articles are all there. Also each article is noted as being in "Articles / Desktop Programming".
Regarding the Tale of Two Timers article, would it not make sense to have OS specific sections (e.g. Windows 7, Windows 10, MacOS, etc)? Some articles pertain to the OS and are language independent.
Thanks
Graham

Interesting. The articles should be correct now.
I will definitely take your OS specific section recommendation to the team. We will constantly be re-assessing and updating sections.
Thanks,

They are correct now, and I used your set of tags to update two of my Tips/Tricks articles.
All is good now. Many thanks for your help!

Does anyone see any reason why Rich OutlookBar in XP and Vista style[^] would need a rework?
I have checked and there are just minimal changes (i.e. size in the pic, &-quot versus " oder Tab versus spaces).
I can't really understand what does these changes bring after 14 years
Or am I missing something?
M.D.V.
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.
