Another cleanup has been completed but as always just yell if there's an issue, you need a second opinion, or you have suggestions.

Not precisely the same topic, but on my Articles[^] page, the first one is classified under process (not even capitalized). There must be other articles in that category, but I don't see it listed under articles/Browse Topics/[^].

This has now been completely revamped. You no longer pick "a" section under which your article appears. You now just tag the article, and if a tag doesn't exist, you just add the tag to the list and a new tag will be created for you.
What we need to do is then categorise the new tags, which means setting its type (Platform, language, technology, or just "topic") and place it into the hierarchy if need be.
You'll notice under the Articles main manu, under 'Browse Topics' the flyout is now very different and focused less on it being all about desktop development and more about a taxonomy that reflects what we actually have (and are seeing posted) today. Internet of Things is right up there but I'm open to suggestions on tweaks.
One thing we deliberately didn't do was add RPi related tags under IoT. RPi, Arduino are used for a ton of IoT solutions, but are they actually part of IoT? Or are they hobby / teaching hardware platforms? Or do they go under Single Board Computers? Or...?

Arduino framework (and maybe specific platforms like ESP32, Arm Cortex-M, AtMega2560, etc) I'd put under IoT
Raspberry Pi is trickier. It's a single board computer, more than an SoC IoT device, however, *many* people associate Raspberry Pi with IoT even if it's something of a misnomer.
It might be worth it putting it under both categories if that's even possible. Plus hobby, teaching
The Arduino framework is also a hobby, teaching platform, so maybe put that under that and IoT categories.

RPi and Arduino have been added to IoT. Good call.

Hi Team
Just realised I haven't been receiving the daily digest email since December, which is possibly when I change my email address in my profile.
Note: Comments on my articles still reach me at the new address.

Hi Dan, I have sent you an email confirmation request which should help resolve the issue. Please let me know if you receive it OK.
Also, please let me know if any of these are the issue:

It looks like I may have a race condition between forgetting the old email and updating the account with current subscriptions.
I've corrected your subscription information in our mail system and will investigate the issue.

The ability to add/delete a downloadable file without having to actually "edit" the article.

Not a huge use case in my mind because I'd want to ensure that when someone deletes a download they check the article for references, and conversely if they add a file they should add a reference.
Although: it would be fairly straight forward to allow an upload, and have that upload added to the download section of an article automatically.

0) In the reputation history page, when the author posts to one of his article forums, instead of as a "Post a General Forum Message", shouldn't the "Event" be shown as "Posted an Article Forum Message"?
1) Increase forum message points to 2 for article forum messages, to promote authors to maintain a closer watch on their articles?
2) As part of then article info, where it shows the article author info, show the last time the author logged into CP, and even better, the last time he looked at the article. This will help users determine how "dead" the article might be, especially for articles that have never been updated.
It seems to me that putting more emphasis on parts of the site that are the actual reason for the site being here could only be a "good thing" (TM).
Couple these ideas with the article forum notifier dot would help authors maintain a closer watch on their code, and it would help the user reading the article to determine relevance.

Is there a spoiler tag ?
Thanks.
I'd rather be phishing!

You mean like:
Q. What's brown and sticky?
A. A stick
<span class=spoiler>A stick</span>

The mouse hover reacts to the "a Stick" not the the "(hover to reveal)" (bigger area)

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.

A second bug, it doesn't work well on mobile browsers.
It should say "tap to reveal"; and only works to the extent that it does because the tap selects a word under the overlay....
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Is there a way to specify that large pre blocks in articles start out in the shrunk state?

Odd. Looks like bad retry code on our end. I'll add it to the list

Hi,
I was unable to upload a new version of the source code for the article: The Oracle Call Interface (OCI) and ODP.Net - Part 1
The upload was really, really slow - and then I got the message: Unexpected error during upload. One or more files may not have been uploaded.
