I was going to post 3 jpg photos of the fall colors
But have no idea how to do that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you are, then could you please tell us what is happening, as there don't appear to be any staff here since the end of August, and all we get is a short note from Chris Maunder if we go hunting on the internet.
The best guess I have is that at some point soon, the domain or the server contract will expire and when that happens CodeProject will disappear with no warning. I've got quite a lot of articles and tips here that I and other members rely on from time to time, and it would be nice to know that I don't have to find a new location for them before they up and vanish ...
Plus, uncertainty doesn't inspire confidence - some of us have been supporting, mentoring, and moderating the site for many years and it would be nice to know that we aren't just getting flipped the bird for all our efforts.
So please, talk to us. Knowing what is / will be happening makes life a lot more pleasant.
Thank you!

I wonder how thorough a job Archive.org has done with CP...
|
|
|
|
|
It won't have any of the source code from the articles - you can't download the code without logging in.

Ok, now I truly worry about CP going offline for some minor technical reason, and article source becoming inaccessible.
Now I have to ask: How big's that database anyway? I have to think it should be possible to make those link targets available somewhere...
|
|
|
|
|
Is/was there not an CP API available? Which maybe allows to get a copy of the Articles?
Unfortunately my knowledge is to weak for such a program, but I think for you it is maybe one day of work

It's an archive of public data (as far I'm aware). What is there to breach? Login passwords? I don't remember ever having to log into archive.org...

Neither do I, but apparently lots of people have "signed up" somehow.

You have exagerated a bit and broken the layout :P

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.

I would say this is a bug in the html layout because it does not use line breaks for longs strings without a blank character

1. I don't believe I have exagerated
-- Because, from what I've seen, no Official Person from CP has responded to OG's message at all.
-- The CP Era is over, I suppose. 
2. I definitely did not break the layout. The original dev did that.  I just typed long lines & the code didn't seem to support it properly.

Work and family have kept me busy, but I try to find time to visit and volunteer as a long-time member. Last night, in the early hours, my wife's sister passed away. Only tonight I logged in and saw the news. It's like last night all over again. This is not the first coding site that I have seen this happen to and it won't be the last.
I hope the service lives on under new management or is spun off into a new community site. I will miss everyone.

Will the Code Project Insider Return?
Or are we seeing the End of an Era?
I like many others miss the Daily Newsletter it was a good way to keep up on topics many of us would have missed if not for the eye of the Code Project Staff  .
Please let us know if the Newsletter is on hiatus, and will it return soon or will be in the dust bin of history  .
Thanks, and Cheers

It is the end of an Era, not only for the insider, but the whole CP.
We are waiting to see what comes next.

And as of this morning, it's back! Not fully featured, but this is the first delivery to my inbox since August. I'm very glad to see it return.

Yes, The day after my posting. Maybe I should have ask sooner

The lack of communication continues to mystify me. Chris Maunder made a post saying he's decided to move to new things on his personal profile where no one will see it unless we go looking. LinkedIn sleuthing showed a number of other people have left without saying anything here at all.
While a bit paranoid, the only scenario I can think of that fits is outside investors staging a coup de etat. Chris wanting to move on after a few decades is completely understandable, but any normal transition I'd expect to have included both high visibility good bye and welcome to the new overlord messages.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I agree, it really gives the wrong message to all those who volunteer here.

See my recent post in the lounge.
When I posted the topic, I changed my sig and it posted. I replied, and I still have my old sig. I replied again, same old sig.
Something subtle is going on that I am missing. Do I need to logout and log back in? Is this a cache issue?

I'm pretty sure that that is by design: you change your sig via the Username dropdown "My Settings" and selecting the "Forums and QA" tab.
The one on the "Message" page is a temporary change.

And I suppose I could have done my homework first instead of soliciting the comments of the EXPERTS before putting this, my neck, on the block to see if this "topic" is not indeed a well rounded discussion already ... and from that draw the actual attention I wish to bring here, and thereby itch my own rub, but I'd like to suggest that somehow, some way the format disposed by the server as a webpage of Questions tagged by the user's choice and given some sort of the kind offered (unanswered|active|new\top rated), where indicative of the "Page 1 of 21" (lower left) followed by the first ten page links (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10), and then immediately to the lower right where both "First dot Prev dot Next" become instrumental in switching to the next fetchable set in the 21 total ... the returned set for "Next" actually be 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. and 20; not page "2" of "21". For example here: Quick Answers[^]
After all, isn't the lower right hand apellative of "Next" refering to the next set of ten found items tagged as what the user wishes to narrow his list of possible entries by using a filter?
I could post an image of what happens when I pick "Next" at this first filtering and what you would see in that image is the "Page 2 of 21" message that would be propagated by a mouseclick on "2". And I could spell out the word "REDUNDANCY" in Photoshop, copy and paste that image for further effect but I think anyone who is unalienably amenable to comments, agent of CP or no, would agree that the first paragraph of description of my observation should suffice.

I have to disagree here. In every online page navigation UI I've ever seen, "next" takes you to the "next page", not the "next set of page numbers".
And I imagine that going from page 1 to page 2 is far more common than wanting to jump from page 1 directly to page 11.
As for the "redundancy": yes, you could find the specific page you're on, find the link to the next page number, and click on that. But that takes more effort than just clicking on the "next" link.
