That's what you have the little blue cross in the upper left corner of the ad for.
Make a printscreen and report it.

Not all ads have a blue cross - so I assumed it was part of the ad. And I'm not clicking anywhere near clickbait, it only encourages them!

That little blue cross is added by Developermedia (Codeproject) with the purpose that you can report them.
If you hover over the cross you get a popup tag saying "Report ad".
And it even seems to work. The few I've reported has never shown up again.
Sometimes the cross is missing though due to CSS or whatever from the ad itself.
If you see a similar blue cross in the upper right corner it's the same thing, but from Google Adchoices.

Yeah, looks like the cache did not catch up.

Or did there used to be a sticky message at the top of the lounge?
If there was, it's not there.
If there wasn't, perhaps I ought to start looking at care homes...

I'm not looking at rooms - it's back now.

This user[^] signed up today, and has the username "i".
That username is also assigned to this user[^], who has been a dormant member for nearly 18 years.

Just to add more info to the bug, it looks like the newly signed up user have set their alias to @i, which should not have been possible.
In other words, the user names are different but with the same alias.

Hey there,
month after month, when I see the article contest "please vote" banner, I ask myself "why don't they have a category Mobile Development"?
Is it, because the frequency of mobile articles (android, ios, ...) is too low here on CP?
While, of course, C++ and C# are very likely the categories with the highest article frequency (by far...), still the question is "why nothing about mobile"... Today's IT world is all about mobile and cloud - maybe put those two together in a new voting category?
I personally have almost no touch with C++ or web development, so it's always a click in the C# section and a quick look through everything else, but there are often topics that are... well "everything else" 
What do you think about that?
Cheers,
Mike

There has been, but if you noticed the number of categories and new articles is steadily dropping on this site.

There is a category for "Mobile articles" - but if in a month there aren't sufficient articles of the required quality in a category, the few good ones go into "Everything else" and get voted there.
Since there are prizes for first and second place, if only one person produces a good article that month, it would be unfair to have a category that they automatically win.
If you want more Mobile articles to be voted on, start writing! Articles are open to all (provided they aren't spam or plagiarised, and reach the standard required to survive moderation). Spam and plagiarism are easily detected (we have a lot of experience) and both result in us throwing the "author" off the site.

Heya,
well, yes... I know I have only a handful articles published here, but I always take my time and try to find a topic that is not covered twice a week on a dozen of websites.
It's often a time factor to sit down and write a well formatted article, and to be honest, the authoring web interface here for articles often lets me fight the UI and not the content, but that's maybe just me 
cheers

 I know what you mean! That's why I knocked up a tip: Using the Article Editor (without losing your hair in handfuls)[^] to make it a little easier.
But ... you can always write it as a Word document and submit that - the admins will reformat it to a article for you?
It generally takes me about ten times as long to write the words as it does the code that goes with them.

Hello Mike,
And yes, indeed, that we're using the same C++ and C# for writing Android and iOS mobile apps with one very little difference that to develop those mobile apps we're also using the specific IDEs, frameworks and libraries, other than for Windows/Linux desktop apps development.
Obviously that, those C++ and C# categories provide generalization that includes Android and iOS apps projects as well.
In my opinion, another reason why there's no such category is that basically there's a very small number of articles about mobile apps development.
Also, I have noticed that for the recent time, the number of articles taking a part in monthly contest became smaller due to insufficient publications. I wish that the number of good and useful articles contributed to CodeProject, in the future, would become larger.
Finally, if you would like to propose a mobile monthly contest articles category, just ask Chris or someone else in the CodeProject team, so they would think about it and probably create a separate category for mobiles.
Thanks for reading my post.

I've restored them (just a matter of editing the question or an answer).
The issue was caused due to our Redis cache server. Over the last week it's been extremely unstable resulting in a number of outages, the latest being about an hour ago for 10 mins. We've been working night and day for the past few days to try and get to the bottom of it and so this weekend we'll simple build a fresh one and start fresh. Hopefully that will sort things out.
It's very odd though: a server (well, a VM) that's literally sat there for about 4 years ticking along and suddenly it goes all poltergeist on us.
cheers

Excellent, thanks for that. Hope you didn't lose too much of your weekend shouting "The power of CHRIS compels you!" at it.

Just an FYI - A large number of messages have disappeared from the GIT forum as well (and this restoration hasn't brought them back into existence).
