I have edited this article a few times, deleting the tags XML, .NET, Objective-C, Text, Markdown, and VS2017. Some of them are not germane, and others are simply wrong. Yet they magically keep reappearing, so I'm curious as to what's going on here.

Faced the same issue many times. +1
Something is definitely wrong with auto tagging.
|
|
|
|
|
We analyzed the article and its downloadable files and add tags related to the content such as language and file types. We might be being a little aggressive in this.
We'll look into it.

Thanks.
At the risk of being a buttpain, this article has download links (right at the top) to GitHub API stuff that doesn't work. I changed them to links on your site that do work, but later they reverted. Reversion probably occured during mirroring, because the article seems to update every time I change the master branch on GitHub (even if its README.md hasn't changed). Also, when the article was imported, links within its body were modified to reference CodeProject rather than GitHub, so now they lead nowhere.

Little bit below on branches, same issue: Github-links-are-broken[^]
What i did eventually is just manually changed article's links to repository. This system definitely is not working as intended

Thanks for the suggestion. I've done this and am hoping that they don't break again.

Reported below, but it has incorrectly been marked as "fixed".
Pick a random article with a download hosted on CodeProject. Click on the link to download the file. The "File Download" page appears, but after ten seconds, you are redirected back to the article page with a black banner at the top which reads:
"You have been redirected to the home of the file you requested to ensure you get the latest version of the file as specified by the article author."
Sample URLs:
- /Articles/2939/Network-Shares-and-UNC-paths
- /KB/IP/NetworkShares/NetworkShares_src.zip
- /Articles/2939/Network-Shares-and-UNC-paths?rp=/KB/IP/NetworkShares/NetworkShares_src.zip
This is happening on every article I've tried. However, it only affects Firefox (v69.0.1); Chrome (v77) works as expected.
I've tried deleting all cookies and site data, signing out and signing back in again, and restarting both the browser and the computer. Nothing makes any difference.
Let me know if you need any more information to track down this annoying bug.

Turns out FireFox is playing silly buggers with HTTP_REFERER.
Working on a work-around.

Do you need to set a Referrer-Policy[^]?

You'd think.
However, FireFox treats meta refresh differently to other browsers. There's a great demo at https://meta-refresh-referer.glitch.me/. run it in FireFox and Chrome and you'll see the difference.

Atm you can only choose from the predefined list.
Would be nice and appropriate to allow a custom license to supply for the code.
|

The problem with that is that everyone who wanted to use the article code would have to become a lawyer to understand exactly what they can and cannot do - and every author that wrote one, and every moderator that tried to approve it (we can't approve articles if the licence says "you can't use this unless you pay me" for example).
At least with a fixed set, everybody gets a good idea in advance of what they allow (within limits, I'm still not sure what CP allows and GPL3 doesn't for example!)

The 'Work Issues' forum maybe?

Thanks, Jeron, I think that's the right forum, and I'll change the link in my response to that post.

Sorry I can not answer here because I'm still recursing in the forum which is the forum for the forum...

When (if) you grow up, you may understand the gist of curating valuable content, so appropriate forums are enriched in a way that benefit people seeking certain types of content who would never find that content in forums like the Lounge.

I tend to agree. Maybe a 'Lessons Learned' or 'War Stories' forum, or perhaps something more generic, a 'Posterity' forum?

But please, not open for all. Just to be moved with a lot of votes of the people or by a reduced number of users with the privilege. If not... it will end up full of noise.

When I go to the concert home page, my article filter is set to .net, and the entire article section is blank. Btw, I’m using Firefox...

Firefox on an iPad. Not a use case we actually tested.
Which iOS version?
