New forum?

There are a lot of “senior” (gray haired) devs on here that have a lot of historic knowledge.

Maybe have a “Time Capsule” or History forum to capture some of these back stories.

It might work better as vignettes that could be added onto profiles.

Topics/teasers/prompts like:
First system you programmed?
Hardware/languages/tools/product delivered/pain points/etc

Repeat for second system, third system,

Linked in of out of date platforms?

Forum could possibly be platform centric where each original post could be one system. PDP-11, the Wang Guide, Apple Newton, C64, etc

OG == Old Grumpy?

It popped a memory on me about some of the pen based windows plays that led me to memories of the Arthur Dent & Associates Inc. company.

Trying to view the comments for a closed spam account returns an empty list - eg: Member Comments[^]

That would seem to imply that the comments have all been deleted; but that's not the case. See the "[no name]" comment to this question[^], which currently only has one kick:

Reference lines go haywire when parent message deleted

When you hover over a message in a forum, you get a grey line pointing back to a previous message. If the replied to message gets deleted, then that referencing line points all the way back to the top of the page. Occurs in Chrome and Firefox, both under Linux:

Unhighlighted links in moderation.

The parent shouldn't be deleted if it has children. Let me do a refresh and see if that fixes things.

A link in a code block isn't highlighted:

The second code block contains just the "a href" tag, and is a working link:

I can't tell what the original posted message was, but the automatic conversion of the original link to a raw link that appears as a code block is ... odd.

I would leave the message there so you can see it, but someone is bound to either let it through (because of a lack of highlight) or delete it (because of the url).

Notification problem

Eric Ouellet13-Oct-22 11:49

13-Oct-22 11:49

Hi,

I do not receive any notification email for my articles althouh I suppose to.

Also, I always have a notification warning about: "We need your permission to email you (It's a CASL thing...).

You have my permission now. I want to receive notifications about any interractions on my articles.

Thanks,
Eric

Every thing seems to be perfect. It is exactly as expected plus I also have "Replies to Posts" selected.
IT really seems to be a bug somewhere.
I changed my email and still don't receive anything.
ALSO: I still have the notification which I cannot remove : "We need your permission to ... CASL thing..."

Could you fix that?

Eric Ouellet

Chris Maunder14-Oct-22 5:49

14-Oct-22 5:49

Désolé, Eric. I've looked at your account and it seems fine from here, but could you please email me (chris@codeproject.com) the link that is presented to you in the CASL warning? I'll dig into that and see what's going wrong.

I still don't receive any notification email and I still have the messge "We need your permission to email you (it's a CASL thing...)". It's really sad. I can't reply to peoples in a reasonable delay due this bug. Why do I have this behavior? Why can't you fix it?

The first question that I asked on codeproject was closed due to spam.

My question was legitimate and I had a link to code pen for the code. Someone just closed my question as spam. If they didn't know answer, they could have just moved along instead of being a jerk about it.

Re: The first question that I asked on codeproject was closed due to spam.

Chris Maunder10-Oct-22 15:59

Chris, can you take a look at this?

10-Oct-22 15:59

Let me look into what happened. We get a lot of spammers (a lot!) so there can be a little shoot-first-ask-questions-later.

Update: your first short question was marked as spam. I've no idea why. That seemed inappropriate.

You re-posted the question and that was trapped by our spam trapper. Possibly because it was similar to the first that had been marked as spam. I marked it as "not spam". The third has been answered.
