For some reason the solution counter on the front page for question What's wrong with the code? is showing 0 all the time even though there has been an answer for a good time.

We had an issue last night where our event processing queue became blocked and a few events were lost, one of them being the event that would trigger the fact that a new answer had been posted to this question. It's up to date now.

"This competition has ended", says the page. The rules say "ends on 4 March 2018 at 11:59:59 PM US Eastern Daylight Time". Right now it's 4 March, 6:44 AM EDT, which is long before 11:59 PM.
The homepage tells me when an article has entered the competition (like "Building a Recommendation Engine in C# entered in The Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Challenge"), but it does not tell me this for the article Use Machine Learning to Determine the Programming Language of Text[^] by @sjb_strat (despite it being posted in the correct category). So the competition end time seems off overall.

Thomas, thanks for bringing this up. I noticed that my article was not included as well - I wasn't sure if there may be been some latency in the system picking up the article - perhaps it runs at a scheduled interval. I definitely added the Use Machine Learning to Determine the Programming Language of Text article before the cutoff time.
I hope someone at CodeProject sees this and can have it addressed.
Thanks again for brining this up.

Thanks for bringing this up (my other reply is currently caught in spam review).
I definitely submitted before the cutoff time. Like you, I didn't see it get listed as part of the competition, but I thought that may just be a matter of timing - perhaps articles are picked up and identified as part of the competition at a certain interval.
My hope is that someone at CodeProject will see this and address the issue.
Thanks again for bringing this up.

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"?

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.
