It seems that I'm not getting email notifications for comments placed on articles. However, if someone replies to my comment, I do get notified about that.
For example Directory size browser[^] had two comments and no email for those. But when snoopy001 replied to my answer, I got an email.

I got reported for posting a download link to a free (in English) book on C# by the Bulgarian Developer's Organization in the "Free Tools" forum, and told that was not an appropriate forum by a CP staff member. I'm NOT complaining about that, at all !
Today, the JetBrains' e-mail newsletter informed me there's a free SyncFusion book on using ReSharper now available. The quality of the SyncFusion free books is excellent, in my experience, and our own esteemed Marc Clifton is one of their authors.
So, given I think a lot of CP members are using ReSharper (I do), I'd like to post this link in an appropriate place on CP.
Do we need another forum for "free things" != tools/programs ?
thanks, Bill

I'm actually thinking we should change the forum to be an article, wiki-style. We can then have a Free Tools article, a Free Books article, and a bunch of other "Free's".
Much nicer for those looking for stuff.
cheers

Sounds good to me, Chris ! Some things, like the free book from SyncFusion on using ReSharper, are tied to a commercial product, and I'd like to be sure if I post something like that I don't stir the hornet$'-nest 
yours, Bill

Maybe just like the FAQ is done, with silver membership required for not having it too grow to chaotically.

Not sure if there is sufficient interest, but there's no Python forum (yet)
|
|
|
|
|
Most Python questions seem to go to Q&A, actually it's not Q and A, it's just QA.
|
|
|
|

It is in fact rareQdifficultA...

Have you clicked the Tips and Tricks or Blogs tab on your bookmark listing?

i really like all pages,
What's your Problem With VB .NET ?
why you removed it ?
i dont like this...
|
|
|
|
|
|
i got this email :
This month will see the last month we have a dedicated VB.NET section. Entries have declined as more and more developers move to C#, or Javascript, or Swift, or any number of the latest and greatest languages and frameworks we wrestle with daily. The changes are just beginning...
plz dont remove anything...
thanks...
|
|
|
|
|
It's because so few people post VB.NET articles.
|
|
|
|
|
How about a little context:
Quote: Monthly Article Contest
This month will see the last month we have a dedicated VB.NET section. Entries have declined as more and more developers move to C#, or Javascript, ...
Note that we're talking about the contest, not the site. We still have VB articles in the sections.
You may as well ask why we don't have a PHP category in the contest, or a Ruby category. Same answer.
cheers

Will VB.NET articles be considered part of the C# competition pool? If so I think that'd be fair to VBers.
|
|

|

Why don't just call the ".Net" contest?
That would be fair for all other authors without an own section

We don't have to be fair to VB'ers. They knew the job was dangerous when they took it.
