As of checking just now, no they are not. Do you have a screenshot to show they are there or are just assuming?
The only thing there are now Follow/Unfollow buttons (which are new to me) and the print button, nothing else. The DOM clearly shows that bookmark should be there but is only an empty SPAN element.

No, buttons are still there. I suspect a recent update has made them invisible for certain members.

You see a follow *and* and unfollow button?
The only way that's possible is due to a Javascript error or some script being blocked. This would explain why there's no bookmark button. If the script died then the bookmark won't get a chance to be created.

Yes, just like you see in the picture.
There are no scripts blocked and only these two errors in the console:
TypeError: $(...).doubleTapToGo is not a function article.min.js:1:16968
TypeError: can't redefine non-configurable property "retrievalService" Using-SQLite-in-Csharp-VB-Net:13:5 And this is the DOM content for the buttons:
<div class="article-nav float-right">
<div style="display:inline-block;position:relative;top:-5px;margin-right:20px">
<a id="ctl00_ActionLinks_ArticleFollow_FollowBtn" title="Have events related to this Article appear in your timeline" class="button unfollowed align-center invisiblewith-subline" data-enabletooltip="true" data-tooltip="Have any updates for this Article appear in your Timeline so you can stay up to date">Follow</a>
<a id="ctl00_ActionLinks_ArticleFollow_UnfollowBtn" title="Unfollow this Article" class="button followed align-center invisiblewith-subline" data-enabletooltip="true" data-tooltip="Stop following this Article">Unfollow</a>
</div>
<span id="ctl00_ActionLinks_BookmarkMd_bookmark" data-type="bookmark" data-ref="2_1210189_24" data-size="medium" data-mode="bookmark"></span>
<a id="ctl00_ActionLinks_PrintMd" data-tooltip="Print" data-enabletooltip="true" data-width="auto" href="/Articles/1210189/Using-SQLite-in-Csharp-VB-Net?display=Print">
<img src="/App_Themes/CodeProject/Img/print48.png" style="border:0" height="24px" width="24px">
</a>
</div>As you can see the empty bookmark SPAN and the print are not consistent and the way they are created is not being affected by a script being blocked, but possibly the error above could explain why it is breaking and not finishing, that's possible.

Here is some additional information gathered by running on Edge which resulted in some interesting findings.
1. Visit that link while NOT LOGGED IN and I see this:
As you can see, holy hell, there is the bookmark button and no follow/unfollow in sight; which makes no sense, given that if you are not logged in, where will it be bookmarking this? Now that brings us to what you see in the console:
HTML1512: Unmatched end tag. Using-SQLite-in-Csharp-VB-Net (1059,159)
(4) HTML1500: Tag cannot be self-closing. Use an explicit closing tag. Using-SQLite-in-Csharp-VB-Net (1420,17)2. Visit that link while LOGGED IN and I see this:
As you can see, we have a follow (the unfollow shows up and then goes away) and the rest are there too. But this happens ONLY on Edge for me right now, not on Firefox. But you then again you have a ton of stuff suddenly in the console:
HTML1512: Unmatched end tag. Using-SQLite-in-Csharp-VB-Net (1038,159)
(4) HTML1500: Tag cannot be self-closing. Use an explicit closing tag. Using-SQLite-in-Csharp-VB-Net (1399,17)
HTTP404: NOT FOUND - The server has not found anything matching the requested URI (Uniform Resource Identifier).
GET - https:
SCRIPT5078: SCRIPT5078: Cannot redefine non-configurable property 'retrievalService' Using-SQLite-in-Csharp-VB-Net (13,5)Now if I try to click the bookmark button, the spinner shows up and spin for eternity with absolutely nothing happening, as you see here:
Hopefully this will help you because clearly there are some coding irregularities and/or issues with how you are handling authenticated users and services. Now if it is working for Richard and not me, then perhaps how the users are "classified" is part of the problem and the hierarchy or levels are not working consistently, I don't know, just thinking out loud but it IS happening, it IS NOT working and I will provide whatever you need but before we go round and round again like before on the menu, IT IS NOT ON MY END.

I just wanted to share with you an update. Without any changes to my setup or taking any special steps, the problem seems to have resolved during checking this morning. The errors I shared with you still show up in the console but the bookmark button is back and only a follow button, not both. Hope it stays that way but wanted to share that with you in case it helps.

I made an update overnight which shouldn't have affected anything.
If you clear the console errors and reload do you still get the errors?
Thanks for keeping me updated. You've been a huge help in this.

I don't know what to tell you there as to why it worked afterwards, I didn't know you pushed an update  but I can tell you that when I refresh the page this item still shows up in the console:
TypeError: can't redefine non-configurable property "retrievalService" nVLC:13:5 Otherwise, the rest of them don't seem to be there anymore (on Firefox at least) I have not checked on Edge.
BTW, do you happen to know why the various options that used to pop up when you pasted into the box here no longer shows up? It was a handy way to format accordingly based on what you were pasting. Just wondering

I can pretty much guarantee it's the same Javascript issue that's been plaguing you.
Just to remind me: which page are you seeing the retrievalService error and under which browser?
cheers

I don't know why that would be, given that nothing is being blocked or showing as failing load, so it should not be causing me any specific errors. In fact while posting this, I am checking the console and there are no errors at all and all resources by the site are showing 200 (successfully loaded). The error mentioned above seems to stem from this resource: https://cdn2.developermedia.com/a.min.js
As for the last error I posted for you, it was on this page: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/109639/nVLC [^] and this is happening on Firefox 56 as of posting the issue. I can check on other browsers and versions if it will help, let me know.
Let me know if I can provide anything else. BTW, as stated before, currently the articles menu issue that we had before is functioning properly, so kudos there. Might I ask one other thing, why is it that something that is bookmarked and shows up under my bookmarks, will not display as bookmarked already when visiting the page again, as you can see, it still shows the bookmark icon not that it is already bookmarked, can you look into that.
With regards to the paste options not showing up on this box while post, including "uploading" pictures, I believe I might have figured out the cause of that, so I will share it with you in case you encounter issues about it in the future, you can suggest checking this. If you have
dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled;false on Firefox, it will cause that issue given that you are relying on clipboard events to perform those tasks. I confirmed that setting it to TRUE will resolve that particular issue. So that one is on me, sorry I didn't catch that before mentioning it.

Another day, another update. Can you let me know the current state for you now?
Two other things.
1. The bookmark icon. I have a mode I can enable that will set the bookmark state based on whether the item is currently bookmarked. This adds extra load and we've been battling some nasty load issues these past 2 weeks so I've deliberately kept it turned off. We can re-enable it soon I hope.
2. The paste thing. Ah Firefox. The original incarnation of this feature was very complicated specifically to work around firefox paste permissions. The code, if I remember rightly, was simplified as these issues were addressed by Firefox. If we'd kept the complicated horrible code we would have nicely avoided the issue you mentioned. C'est la vie...

The never ending curse of an admin developer I went to the latest articles page and clicked on the first one I saw and the only error I see is:
TypeError: can't redefine non-configurable property "retrievalService" Software-Project-Development-and-Decision-Making:13:5 But it is not affecting the bookmark button or anything anymore, and I didn't expect this would be a blocking error where it would affect ancillary objects and seems whatever resolved the button issue wasn't related to this and is working fine now. I cannot detect anything obvious to me that this particular error would affect but if I do figure out what this error "actually" breaks on the page, I will share it with you ASAP.
But the original issue of "missing button" resolved and as already stated, I check the dropdown "articles menu" each day I visit and the issue with the menu is gone too, so technically both of the original issues reported are now resolved in effect.

Understood makes perfect sense, just wanted to let you know in case you didn't now, clearly you do, so apologies.

Hindsight, thou art a heartless bitch  I hear ya, no worries, once I figured out what was breaking it, just a matter of letting you know. I was actually going to suggest making a more agnostic code, which clearly you had done before, so it is all good, if you choose to try again, let me know and I will gladly test it for you, if not then I will adapt when necessary to be able to use the current implementation.

Q&A solution posting is failing however posting a question works fine.
UPDATE: After many attempts over a 10~15 minute period on a couple of questions, solutions now appear to be posting.
Maybe it is just me...

I can second that.
Posted an answer but it was not shown at the question, in my list of answers, and on the reputation page. But there was no error message and it looked like always when an answer has been posted.
A second attempt 10 minutes later succeeded.
If it helps to check the logs: The question was [Libxml2 xpath] how to query a attribute with a string contains single quote and double quotation marks at same time[^].
[EDIT]
It happened again. This time I had the tab with the posted answer still opened. So I tried the "Improve answer" link:
"Unable to find the original post for this reply."

I was wondering if there is a problem with the mechanism which selects the 'Featured Article' on the Code Project home page because the current displayed article (which I am sure is an excellent article) has been continuously displayed since the weekend.
|

It's just a really good article!
Just so I can check the right bits: which technology have you selected in the "set your site filter" bar?
cheers

Having the same 'problem'.
No site filters set, 'All' selected.

The "featured article" just got a feature. 
I can confirm as well, have had "Static Class, Singleton and their Side Effects" for a week now.

I'm currently doing a lot of searches on the site and I'm finding the mechanic of the checkboxes that allow the selection of where to search from very irritating. Each time I select/deselect a checkbox the page refresh itself, making the process of selecting/deselecting multiple sources slow, repetitive, unintuitive and error prone (sometimes I deselect a bunch of options only to find some of them still checked on the reload, the same for selection), not to mention the bandwidth usage when I'm on metered connections.
It's unintuitive because checkboxes are supposed to be checked/unchecked a whole bunch at a time without any change to the shown content (in contrast to buttons and links, for example).
I would prefer a button to manually refresh the search results AFTER having applied all the relevant filter: is it a legitimate request?
