regarding my earlier request to have article/tip new message notifications added to the top status bar?
I had another idea regarding that - add a second icon separate from the message notifier, and make it a different color (green, to match the "Author" line in the rep graph?). This would just be for new messages, or could even be for all article/tip related messages. Doing it as it's own dot/icon could let you work on it without messing up the existing red dot/icon for standard messages.
I think this would be a lot more useful than just sending emails (I hate reading email).

What I'm working towards is a live update of notifications. So if you normally get an email about something, you'd see a pop-up toast (or maybe a fixed status bar at the top) at the instant the message was posted.
If you're just after a "show me a list of the latest message alerts [from posts to my articles]" or "show me messages posted since I last logged on" that's a lot easier.

I was looking for something similar to what we already have (the red circle with the number of message replies, only for new messages in articles/tips. That's why I suggested a separate dot in a different color. I see it working exactly the same as the existing red dot. I suggested that the dot be green because that's what color the author line is on the reputation graph.

Seems that all messages from articles have disappeared. Also vote indicator isn't shown and the overall response time when loading articles seems to be long
Site update in progress?
for some articles getting the following
Quote: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (Ticket: 1881902, Server: Web06). We've logged the issue and will fix ASAP.

Yeah, and I broke something in the process.
Should be ok in short order.

Same problem here.
Very slow too!
And on right top of that article page "Sign in " appears, but I'm "in".

I'm betting you guys already know, but article display is weird. No scores, no left side bar to speak of.

Looks like it doesn't know we're logged in, or that we're a registered user, or something along that line.

VS Version 16.8.6, Win 10, Chrome Version 88.0.4324.182 (Official Build) (64-bit)
I was working on a response to a QA question: [^], and I reached in my code closet and pulled out an old example using the WebBrowser:
private void linkLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
string url = @"https://www.codeproject.com";
if (browserForm == null) throw new NullReferenceException();
if (! browserForm.Visible) browserForm.Show();
browserForm.TheWebBrowser.Navigate(url);
linkLabel1.LinkVisited = true;}This will trigger navigation to CP in the WebBrowser instance in a Form "owned" by the WinForm "main form." Several script errors will occur before a CP page, not the home page, is shown.
Perhaps this is not an error ? An artifact of CP security ?
cheers, Bill

I assume you're aware that the WebBrowser control is stuck in IE7 mode by default, unless you modify the registry on every computer where your application runs?
Web Browser Control & Specifying the IE Version - Rick Strahl's Web Log[^]
I don't think it's unreasonable for modern sites to no longer support IE7 - it hasn't been updated in the last 11 years.

thanks, Richard; fyi: using URL's of some other common sites results in correctly loaded web-pages; however, accessing StackOverflow exhibits similar script errors, and partial page loading where you can see a warning that the site does not accept Internet Explorer, but, does accept Edge, Chrome, etc. MSDN works okay; other sites that load properly come up in Thai probably because they can geo-locate me.
i have a hazy memory of some content from MS suggesting the WinForm WebBrowser control has been updated in the last few years.

Yes, that's what I am thinking of. As usual, the MS how-to for using it in Visual Studio WinForms omits the dependency on having Edge installed, and omits any mention of a work-around for the common failure [^] to get a non-null value for the CoreWebView2 object of the WebView that contains methods like Navigate.
I hope you don't tell Redmond I uninstall Edge !

I'm guessing lots of those script errors will be ads, but there are sure to be some jQuery issues since we dropped IE support many, many moons ago.
However, the site still works fine on my 2010 iPad!

The premise doesn't fit here... the posts are with several days difference and the answers hanging wrong are older than the "OP"

 You mean all the items posted at 11:01? It's if I have them queued up (posted before 24h before a newsletter goes out). They all get posted at the same time.

Nope... I meant the news you posted yesterday (the 22nd) and that were placed behond posts 1 or 2 days older.
Right now in the page #2 of the insider forum:
IIRC has happened 3 times (counting this one) in the last year?

Ah, same answer, different evidence. Those three were posted on Friday (some weeks I really feel like I want Sunday off), but got queued to go out Sunday night when the newsletter gets sent out. So, they end up getting sorted earlier than real-people posts on Saturday and Sunday.
