So there I was, playing with scraping the CP MyArticles page (using the latest version of HTMLAgilityPack in a WPF app), and I tried my code on this page - https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/Marc-Clifton#Article[^]
Despite the page claiming 241 articles and 6 tips, all I could scrape was 197 articles and three tips. Viewing Marc's tips/tricks, only three are listed. Viewing his articles, only 197 are shown. When I looked at the articles/tips I scraped, the first and last item in each category did indeed match the first/last item displayed on the web page.
My conclusion is that the number of articles and tips being displayed is messed up.
I also viewed source on the page (in both FireFix and Chromium), and came up with 197 articles, and three tips.
I think this is only a problem with people that have a large number of articles.

I've noticed this too. It seems to occur with authors who've been writing for a long time. Maybe some of their earlier articles have been deleted because they were on topics such as "How to Find a Square Root on an Abacus".

It seems that it maxes out at 200 total items (articles, blog entries, and tips). Almost like it's trying to take a percentage of each category to display.

I've never checked that! I'm just saying that if you look at members who wrote, say, 7 articles 10 years ago, you'll sometimes find considerably fewer.

My articles from 2001 are still being shown.
My articles + tips + blogs has not yet exceeded 200, so all of my stuff is being shown.
I first noticed the problem with Sacha Barbers articles, and it all shows a max of 200 items.

When is that scheduled? I'll try my code again when it's deployed.

The only way I can see the current results is to vote again. Am I missing something?

When I go here:
Survey Voting Form - Best Article of December 2020[^]
There's no "View Results" mechanism available (that would be much more convenient).

Select Surveys on the Features menu.
Then select Voting in the dropdown. and click Go.
This will list the current voting surveys.

In this article:
Customizable WPF MessageBox[^]
I updated the article again, and added a new image called URL_Example.jpg. It showed up initially, but now it's not there. I tried refreshing my cache and that didn't help.
I'm really not intentionally trying to break y'all's stuff.

Could you please email it to me (sean@codeproject.com) again? I'll set it straight.

Am I pushing on the site too hard?

Refresh and it should be good.
I wonder if the servers are just struggling today? We'll see if this keeps happening to other articles.

Yeah, it's there now.
Thanks for jumping on it.

Typically these issues are either
1. Caching
2. File replication
1 is fixed your end by a Ctrl+F5, 2 is fixed with patience (it'll self-heal)

I'm old. I've been out of patience for years.

I appreciate that posts to the 'Comments and Discussions' section of an article are reviewed for spam, but it seems any comment I post is always uploaded as This message has been flagged as potential spam and is awaiting moderation
Is that simply SOP or is it a sign that I on some sort of automatic spam watch list? I can't imagine every comment and post needs to be reviewed by staff...

Oddly this message was marked as potential spam too. Looking briefly at a history of some of your messages, sometimes you include a link in your messages. I suspect if you keep the links out of your next few messages and you get accepted a few more times, you'll be OK moving forward.

Thank you for the tip, and for the quick answer. The links are always to technical content related to the article or suggestions, but yes, I probably should not treat the discussion area the same as a stackoverlow answer section.
Sometimes members post elaborate solutions to alredy solved problems and you want to politely point out, also for the benefit of other readers, that they are re-inventing a wheel. If you just leave it at that, it's a bit opinionated, but if you can point them to a well-known library or documentation, it's less personal and promotes a healthier discussion.

The automatic system doesn't look at the site to determine tech content, or "always allow" some sites - that would require "special case" programming and that's always a PITA - if you link and teh text looks maybe a little dodgy, it'll tag you as a potential spammer and shuffle you to moderation.
But it does learn, and we moderators are usually pretty quick - so as Sean said, a small ni=umber of OK posts will get it to reset you and let you through without human moderation.
It's a nuisance, I know - but we get a heck of a lot of spam, and sometimes it floods the site so we have to moderate some stuff!
