Ah, shame on me. I've moved those first two articles you mentioned into the Win32 section.
I'm afraid the incorrect tags is a known issue we are still working out the kinks on.
Thanks,

Thank you Sean!

No worries, it’s not that important or urgent. Just post a message when it’s finished.

It's been a few years since I was active on Codeproject. And I've noticed a change, or it might just be a feeling. Is it so that people don't engage so much on other developers' work these days?
There used to be lots of comments on every new article.
I think that the feedback, and the discussions are one important drive to make developers share code and articles, anyway.
Take care!

Looking at your recent articles on Backgammon which seems like a niche topic. This could be the reason behind it.

I'm not sure I see the connection.
But anyway, thanks for the note.

GitHub (and Nuget) recognize this declaration for a code block in their standard mark-down language:
``` C#
```
When imported, this comes out with "pl-c", plus a strange attribute tied to each method I declare. It does not in any way resemble the original code block(s).
Since the GitHub links are auto-refreshed, I cannot simply "fix" the problem here, since each new imported revision will over-write my changes and the original bad markup will reappear.
May I suggest that the Code Project adapt the full nuance and detail of markdown languages in use around the Internet?

Just realized that most (all?) of my articles are in the wrong section (e.g. should be Desktop Programming / Windows Forms, but instead is Web Development / HTML).
This is most definitely my fault, but how do I fix it?
Can I move an article to a new section, or that task in the domain of someone with admin rights?
Thanks,
Graham

I believe that articles are now categorized based solely on their tags. This is a very recent change and may still be in flux. There is no longer a way to explicitly categorize an article yourself. All you can do is play with your tags until your article ends up in the category that you think appropriate.

If you let me know what section you would like each to appear in, I will do my best to make it happen.

Thanks, but as per Greg's suggestion, I was trying first to fix this myself.
I moved most of my articles to "Desktop Programming", which is an improvement. But I think a better location is "Desktop Programming / Windows Forms", but I don't know what tag(s) will get it to that new location. I expected to find some tag referring to WinForms under Technology, but no luck.
Currently the tags are: C#, .NET, Intermediate, controls, Dev, desktop.
As for my article "A Tale of Two Timers", I'm not sure where it should go. It's about Windows internals, and the programming in the article is a side issue. Currently it's in the section "Time", which you cannot get to using the articles menu. Is that a different bug?
Thanks,
Graham

How do I get my article into the section "Desktop Programming / Windows Forms"?
I checked other articles already there, and the key tag seems to be "WinForms". Could not find the tag (should it be under "Technology")? I added it manually, but my article is still only in the section "Desktop Programming".
Any suggestions?

Hi Graham,
I added a WinForms tag to your articles and that put them in the desired section. As for your Time article, I gave it a C# tag that put it into the C# category (the language topic is meant to be a catch all if all else fails).
Thanks,

Alas, the articles with the WinForms tag are still in the section "Desktop Programming". If I select Articles -> Browse Topic -> Desktop Programming, the articles are all there. Also each article is noted as being in "Articles / Desktop Programming".
Regarding the Tale of Two Timers article, would it not make sense to have OS specific sections (e.g. Windows 7, Windows 10, MacOS, etc)? Some articles pertain to the OS and are language independent.
Thanks
Graham

Interesting. The articles should be correct now.
I will definitely take your OS specific section recommendation to the team. We will constantly be re-assessing and updating sections.
Thanks,

They are correct now, and I used your set of tags to update two of my Tips/Tricks articles.
All is good now. Many thanks for your help!

Does anyone see any reason why Rich OutlookBar in XP and Vista style[^] would need a rework?
I have checked and there are just minimal changes (i.e. size in the pic, &-quot versus " oder Tab versus spaces).
I can't really understand what does these changes bring after 14 years
Or am I missing something?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Not sure what you're getting at. I sometimes make minor edits to my articles but can now publish them without moderation. But I only check the "Mark article as updated?" box if the article or its code has been meaningfully revised. Otherwise it would put the article on the front page for no reason, which is abusive. If a revised article that requires moderation is always treated as if it should go onto the front page, I'd call that a site defect rather than deliberate abuse by its author.

But I am not going to report it, just wanted to know if I am missing something or not, because I can't find any good reason for those minimal changes done, and even less after 14 years without touching.

Hi Codeproject editor,
C++: Windows Toast Notification
Some text is squashed together but is correct when viewed in the article editor. The formatting must have gone wrong during automatic parsing/transforming/preparation for publishing.
Even my profile description at the bottom is in the red code tag (probably caused by an unclosed <code> tag)
Can you take a look?
Edit: found another article with the same problem: Making HTTP REST Request in C++

Thanks very much for the report. There was an error with the article editor that has now been fixed.

Hello, I added my company's RSS feed yesterday as a Technical Blog but the first article was reported as spam and the account was closed. In reviewing the submission rules, I understand that the article contained callouts to the tool and therefore should not have been submitted. My apologies for this.
Going forward, I would like to only submit the most technical articles from our blog - some of our articles are career advice or thought leadership - and I will remove any CTAs or free download prompts.
When adding the blog feed again the prompt says "Feed already added, contact us." which I am doing here. Can someone help me resubmit the RSS feed? Thank you.

Hi Everett,
I'd be happy to help with this. First could I look at some examples from your blog, and could you please let me know the CodeProject account that added the blog to our site?
Thanks,

Thanks very much for that. Would you be willing to have all links and references to Arctype removed from your posts when they are published on CodeProject?
