Title says it; in my settings I do have notifications and emails for article forum comments turned on, but I received neither.

We were having some database issues that may have cause this.
It seems to have resolved itself, but we are investigating.

I got a notification for this message, so that seems like an improvement indeed

I don't find it bad, I am just curious if it really is on purpose.
I have edited a message of mine in the lounge from december, and then answered to someone in the thread.
The conversation now appears in the upper right corner of the home page as a new discussion, although it is in page 185 of the lounge.
Design or casuality? Desired or "something the hamsters better dig into"?

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.

The 'Discussions' area shows discussion activity. Whether that's a new or updated message. It's by design.

This also applies to forums.
Maybe there should be a time limit on being able to answer a question. Say, 30 days or so. This will keep old questions from bubbling back up to the top of the queue.
An alternative is to continue to allow old questions to be answered, but restrict bubbling up to only include questions that are up to 30 days old. That way, the person that asked the question will still be able to get answers.

I don't - it sounds like a great way to hide spam from the moderators.

The down-side of that is that spammers will be able to post spam answers to old questions without anyone noticing.

Personally, I think if a question isn't answered within 30 days, it most likely never will be. I personally favor the lock and forget idea, but I wanted to present an alternative that could possibly deflect negative attention away from my actual desire to cut 'em off at the knees.

I still prefer the idea I came up with a while back: if an answer is removed because of certain types of reports (mainly "spam" and "not an answer", but possibly others too), the question should go back to its previous position in the list, rather than jumping back to the top.
That way, we can still see and deal with the non-answers and spam posted to old questions, but the active list doesn't get cluttered up with threads that don't need attention.
Of course, it's easy enough to say that. I have no idea how complicated it would be to implement.

This is an old version of the currently published article. I get the feeling it should't really be where it is.

Who's Who is only showing message counts for everyone. All of the other metrics are zero.

I realize that I've already gotten my share, with the boon of the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) , so I don't know if it is appropriate that to have mustered the courage to suggest another.
However - a moneybag would be quite useful. A "$" on it is rather universal, but it's also used in Canada, so you can feel it's OK and not worry about those not resident on the proper continent.

This message: The Lounge[^], is currently no longer flagged as potential spam and under review. But when I go to the home page there is nothing there. Tried reloading home a few times but it still does not appear.

I recently submitted a new article[^] and have received a bookmark and upvote before the article has even been approved. I'm honestly not sure what's going on but this screenshot[^] hopefully helps.
EDIT: I also haven't received the normal 5 points for voting in the recent survey. Not sure if that's intended or not.

Missed points have become 'not uncommon' - Due to a recent post, I think someone ( with the pseudo-tag of OG, who shall remain nameless) has been skimming them from the rest of us.

I know it is possible to bookmark an article while it still is in the moderation queue, because I do it myself from time to time. But I have never been able to cast a vote on an article in submission queue. It may just be a weird-server-cache-thingy which caused the rep system a seizure.
Nice piece of work, btw. Would qualify as an awesome reference, as it exposes some essential architectural concepts.
