At the current time that's the only method we have and it has effectively been removed. 9/10 when I report a repost it's because I think "that kinda sounds familiar, I'm sure someone previously suggested XYZ but there are no replies to this", or I have some other vague suspicion. By clicking the user profile and checking their history I can verify it is a repost 100% and report it. This can often involve comparing the two questions to see if I think the new one contains enough difference to warrant a repost. With this update it takes more detective work than I'm really prepared to do to find if something is a repost.

There is no "rep-shame" for me, I have only 3 questions because I found answers to my other questions by myself.
I am a dinosaur coming from an era before internet, at this time the main help was documentation and debugger. So the answer was self studying and experiments.
As of today, I have enough experience so that when I Google, I am able to extract useful partial answers from what I find on internet to build my own solutions.

Have y'all noticed that when you reply to a comment on a Q/A question, your reply appears as if it was made to the wrong comment. Hitting F5 to refresh the page fixes it, but it's causing people to delete and re-reply (only to have the same thing happen again.

It's been this way for quite some time, for me at least. I believe it was reported long ago.

Looks like you guys need to do some image massaging in terms of dimensions.
On my own websites, uploaded images are reduced (at highest quality) to a specified dimension (if necessary), and then compressed until they are <= than a specified file size. For example, regardless of how large the uploaded image might be, it is store at no larger that 640x480 and consume no more than 75k on the disk.
Having said that, I think the image should at least be in a div with overflow set to auto .

Yeah - this has been on our TODO for ages. Is there a specific image that's causing grief?

It was an image posted in a Bugs/suggs question below (Starry starry night). The image way overflows the intended display area.

Click the spam flag, and wait for the shield to appear. Hover your mouse over the shield and a link to the user will be revealed in a small popup.

The sign in page is broken.
You cannot enter in an email address when you want to sign in.
I tried in both Chrome and Edge.
I had to use a new email address to be able to get here.
I hope someone from the Code Project notices this soon!!!

I just signed in with Chrome, no problem.
|
|
|
|

What happens when you try and sign in? Timeout? Error message? Blank page?
cheers

Turns out it's LastPass that was removing the edit boxes for email and password.
I disabled lastpass and I can sign in and reply.

LastPass doesn't work with CodeProject's sign in page.
Users will have to know to remove their LastPass extension so they can sign in.

When opening the home page the 'Following' tab is always elected by default. At the moment I'm not following anything so because of the selection I don't see anything in the list of latest articles.
When I select 'All', close the browser, and open it again, the 'Following' tab is selected again.
I feel that 'All' should be the default and/or the selected tab should remain between browser starts.
Browser if Firefox 58.0.2

In FF clicking on HOME page (uppser left under Bob) I get Articles displayed in all they're articulate'n glory.
I don't follow anything (I actually unfollowed somebody) ...
Perhaps there's reason enough here somewhere?

Where has it gone?
Also, the last time I saw the Android Learning zone, it had articles on Android Development using Eclipse, which is old time. Any plans to update the Android Learning Zone articles with the those using the latest and greatest Android Studio?

Not sure what you are referring to as "Learning Zone".
As to the articles, it is up to the authors to update them.

It's not what we wanted it to be so we're retiring them and may have another shot later.

I noticed it today.
I had 21 votes for my article. Someone voted for it again - the number of votes displayed did not change.
Then someone else voted for it and the number of votes on the article jumped straight to 23.
methinks something is wrong.
