Sorry Griff - this reply is just to bring my thoughts from those other posts into this arena.
We were discussing that when a solution is deleted it will throw the original post back to the top of the "Active Questions" list. Now we're noticing that if a post already has answers then this is not necessarily a Good Thing, but if that deletion leaves the post without any solutions it would be a Good Thing.
We also know that it's handy to spot spammers and site-drivers if the question comes back to top when a new solution is added.
So here is my twopennorth for when the post should be brought back to top - none of which may be sensible or achievable (  )
- Solution posted awaiting moderation - original post should remain unaffected
- Solution deleted, other solutions exist - original post should remain unaffected
- Solution deleted, no other solutions - original post back to top of Active queue
- Original post edited - post back to top of Active queue (regardless of anything else)
- Solution added - back to top to catch spammers, have solution reviewed etc.
- Solution edited ... hmm. Gut feel says leave post unaffected but we've witnessed innocuous solutions turned into spam by subsequent editing ... so back to top
- Solution accepted - original post should remain unaffected.
An alternative might be some sort of warning pop-up along the lines of "Do you realise this post is xxx months old and already has an accepted answer"
I'm also getting a feeling of deja vu - I'm sure this has been discussed in detail before but I can't find the original thread.

I'd say it works ok as it is, with the exception of moderated items resetting the update and bringing questions back to the top: if a moderated item is never publicly posted did it ever happen?

I like your two pen worth thoughts

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 at all. If there is an unanswered question or if you can provide a better answer who cares how old it is? Not me, although I might be the only one. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Hopefully nobody; which is unfortunately not the common "Usus" here

I'm not getting notified when my articles get new comments. How do I fix that? Thanks

This happens when there are no replies, yet, to the thread.
"View the reply to this message" also appears when there are no replies.
imho, if there are no replies, I'd like to see #1, not #2, and I think the "View the reply to this message" link should either be hidden, or appear grayed-out.
thanks, Bill

Not sure what you mean by #1 and #2.

I think he means the "thread length" counts on the front page. Certainly seems to be max(real_count, 2)

Hi, Chris,
Right now, viewing 'Insider News' in 'Thread View:' all posts by Kent show the number #2 at the far right of the thread title, and the content of the post has an active link 'View the reply to this message' ...
Like this one: [^]
... but there are no replies to such posts.
This results in my clicking the ''View the reply' link ... I'm crazy enough to often read the replies ... and finding nothing there.
Unfortunately, finding nothing there this way does not improve me in the way finding nothing there while meditating does 
If the intent of the number at the far right of the thread is to, usefully, indicate the number of responses, then I suggest there's a problem. And, having an active link that effectively does nothing is not optimal.
cheers, Bill

Should be good now. Found a logic error that spanned two stored procedures, two edit pages, the Spam Filter and a background process.
Took 3 hours to find and three lines changed to fix.

There was a time where preview worked very well... something about before one year.
At the Moment, preview does not work nice, neither in Q/A nor for Messages.
If you are lucky it Shows the preview until you hit first time <enter>.
This for Chrome, IE.

Works fine for me in Chrome.

You are right. Just checked again with Chrome and now it works fine.
Thank you for your Feedback.

I am trying to submit a tip, at: C# 7 - New Out Variables[^]
Yet I can only fill in property fields, and the main point of the Tip, the body text, is missing because when I try and edit the tip, the HTML editor is disabled. The toolbar works, but the main panel won't accept my typing.
Immanentize the Eschaton!

Please delete my article named "Iconic"

On this account? I think it may already be deleted ...
Thanks,

I tried to email my article, using both gmail and yahoo email, but the email bounced back both times, even though there are no exe's or js's inside.
I then tried submitting via attachment on the website, hoping your staff would take the 10 seconds to unzip the file, and see that everything in the zip file is in order.
The article was closed, both times. Apparently, nobody looked at the attachment, though I included instructions to do so. The attachment contains an entire Visual Studio solution, and I'm not going to upload each constituent file, individually, must less worry about putting everything in the correct tree structure.
If nobody at codeproject addresses this quickly, I will simply just use github.

An email from codeproject arrived about 15 minutes ago, instructing me to email with the attachment renamed as .zipu. That seems to be working, as gmail bounced back immediately, before, and there is no indication of trouble this time.

when we hover over the "quick answers" menu we can see "fabric questions" in the list.
but so far there is "only one question" posted under the same, so still do we need the tag in the main menu ? It shall be replaced by a frequently used framework/Technology.
