Found the bug and have fixed it.
Will be in the next deploy.

Could all "message closed" posts by that member also be automatically purged?
They aren't recoverable anyway IIRC, so there's no new data loss and it would save you (and us) a fair amount of time cleaning and polishing the site afterwards.
The only complication I can see is if someone responded to a message before it was closed down, but those don't happen often, and shouldn't be too difficult to check and exempt from the delete list.

Having the messages stick around a little allows the report to be reversed if it is required.
Only those with sufficient privileges can see the closed messages.
I try to do a cleanup on these types of messages every week or so.
However, if there is a need to do a clean up after a large Spam event, just leave a cleanup request and I'll use the tools I have to force the cleanup.

But on the other hand you said[^] that message history isn't preserved, so the original message content presumably can't be restored anyway. In which case having the "Message Closed" messages hanging around doesn't do anything useful, does it? Other than make work for you to tidy the forums of course!

For a short time it had status "pending".
But I did not get a message if it needs aprovement or was rejected.
The other morning until now I see only:

It's still in the moderation queue, waiting for approval. It's currently on 3, but it's still holidays, so things are a bit slower than normal at present as moderators are asleep / drunk / not working today.
Give it a few hours - it should get through tomorrow.

Me too. Today.
Clicked "Select Profile Image" button.
Selected the file with the file browser dialog.
Clicked the "Open" button.
Nothing happens.
(Tried multiple times with png and jpg in a few sizes.)
Thanks.
I thought that Retiring would be a good chance to update things.

Dear Colleagues,
First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year of 2022 (The Lounge[^]).
Today, I've encountered an issue that the last vote for my article by some other member was not added to the votes count in my article's page Can QR Decomposition Be Actually Faster? Schwarz-Rutishauser Algorithm[^].
Here's what I exactly mean:
I would kindly appreciate if you help me resolve this issue. 
Thanks and happy Christmas holidays this year!

Looks like the votes are there now. Probably a caching quirk.

Thanks for the explanation

To expand on Richard's explanation, "Reputation Point Hunters" and Spammers often target very old questions - probably not realising that adding additional solutions brings that question back into the "Active" list.
You will often see a spate of these around the "big" holidays (Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving etc) - possibly because the fools believe that no-one will be "watching" - they clearly don't understand Programmers

Hi,
Gisle Vanem[^] reported that there are problems downloading article code, Download failures[^] :
Quote: Please provide another download location; GitHub?
Trying to download Harlinn.Windows-2021-12-90.zip in Chrome has now failed 4 times.
Try to restart the D/L seems to restart from the beginning. Buggy "Range" support at

I've downloaded the file successfully.
However, this file is huge. 137Mb as we don't support 7z and had to convert it to a zip.
If the user has poor or slow internet, this file will be an issue for them.
Could you possibly package up the project into smaller, logical zip files?

The purpose of the solution is to have a general purpose 'runtime' for C and C++ development based on open source for 64-bit Windows development that just works.
Breaking it apart would add significant complexity, and suddenly I would need a package manager to manage the various dependencies.

True, but most developers regularly download archives that are way larger.

Why don't break the zip in parts instead of the project inside?
Time ago you could ask WinZip to make the multiple packages of the size of a 3-1/4 disquette...
This way you would have 13 files of 10 Mb and 1 of 7 Mb... File 1 of 14, 2 of 14 and so on.
Once extracted the project is still in only one solution folder as it should.
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.

I tried to reformat the (500+ lines) code in the question at Receiving JSON through serial COM port in Python[^]. When I pressed update, the entire code block disappeared. I clicked Improve again and found that it had indeed disappeared. Rolling back to the original the text was restored, so I assumed it was my fault. I tried again taking great care to check what I pressed at each point. The same thing happened, so I cancelled the updates and left the question as originally posted.
Is there a limit on how much text can be formatted at one time?

I have no idea about this crazy (indentation sensitive) structured language. But if a paste the code into an online python syntax checker (e.g. Python lint (syntax check) online - InfoHeap[^] or http://pep8online.com/checkresult[^] ) it shows a problem on about line 50.
Anyway pasting 550 lines of code is also not a good idea of OP
[Edit]
I added code tags again and now it shows something valid I think.

You are correct, so I think maybe it was finger trouble on my part.
