A 'Game discussions' forum perhaps.
And then move CCC over to it as well.
Then again, if you move all special interests over to their own forums, I suspect the lounge will be quite empty.

This might not be a bug. It might be me being an idiot, but there is currently 1 article pending approval. I went to approve it and there's no option for that, but 3 approvals already.
It still says pending, but with 3 approvals to publish shouldn't it be published?
And otherwise, shouldn't I have the option to mark it as approved?
Something seems amiss.

5 needed

Not if you comented the article and landed after the redirecting to the previous version. It happens me more than I would like to do.
Go out to the home page, click on the moderation queue again on this article, then you should see the "aprove" again
In the meanwhile... it got approved:

Strange, I thought you don't need to go through moderation?

This wasn't about my article, but someone else's I was trying to approve. And not a bug, just me being a goof.

Update: Also my article says approved by editor or trusted author when i navigate to it, but it's actually pending approval (shouldn't need to wait for that in my case) and it's not published.
Ever since this morning some of my comments are getting marked as spam and when I tried to update my article it told me it would have to go through the approval process. Given my rep points this shouldn't be happening, and has never happened to me before.
Can someone look into this? Thanks.
Site layout is normal for me now though. Progress!
Update: Site layout is borked again. Oops!

We had some backend server issues this morning, which hopefully have been resolved.

Is it just me, or has the home page layout gone for a Burton again?
Edit: And now it's back to normal.
Edit: And now back to messed up. Not sure if it's a dodgy ad; a dodgy article title; a dodgy question title; or something else.
NB: All ad-blocking is disabled for CodeProject, so I have no idea where the "resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking" messages are coming from.

Yeah... for me too, but only "home", the rest of the site looks fine for me... (maybe cached pages?)

Smells to me like a CSS/JS caching issue.
ctrl-F5 fixed it for me a couple of hours ago.

Only for your information: I think to remember the bar graph was showing the distribution of votes ...
... but is not doing it right now.
Most probably same issue in Q/A.

To help try and curb posting of ChatGPT and other AI quick answers/articles/tips/etc, can a warning something like this be added to the editor input:
for convenience, here is a link to their policy[^]

I totally understand their position and motivation, but my honest feeling is it's almost impossible to police properly, and is akin to them saying "don't cut and paste another person's answer". AI is very hard to spot, and the use of AI to generate a solution is no more morally suspect than someone using Google to spot a random blogger's note on the topic and use that as an answer.
Stackoverflow's reasons are: the answer may be noisy and over-explanatory, it may not be factually correct, it won't have correct citations, and if someone wanted an answer generated elsewhere (eg AI) they would have already searched. The first 2 reasons are already covered under the general "don't post bad answers", I rarely see citations on SO, and no, users don't look elsewhere first because StackOverflow has awesome SEO so they come up first in many searches.
If someone knowledgeable in the space uses AI to generate an answer on a topic they understand, checks that answer, trims it down to what's needed, and posts, then I'm 100% OK with that. Saying otherwise would be akin to saying we should ban code snippets generated by CoPilot. For me, the only thing that matters is
- The answer is correct
- The answer is on topic and specific to the question
- The answer isn't plagiarized. (This is such a debatable concept when it comes to AI), and isn't simply a cut and paste from any source
- The answer isn't offensive, abusive, so poorly written it's not understandable
AI is here. We can't stick our heads in the sand about it, and we can't say "Just Say No". There's an onus on us to understand the tech, understand the implications, and understand and use it in a way that's positive while also facing the negative implications of AI. I don't feel a blanket ban does any of that.
cheers

I hear what you are saying. I guess that I left it too open.
My thoughts are that AI is here and can be helpful. I have no issue with those who cite their sources, even when it is AI generated. I do this in Quick Answers to try and help others. Where I have an issue is with those who blatantly claim the work of others, or AI generated content, as their own.

Hey Chris / other CP staff,
I was wondering if there was a way to highlight a few lines from a source code block? A few WordPress plugins support it and it's quite handy when you want to call out modifications. The current alternative is to use line-numbers and then call that out (example : see lines 7 to 9).

Looks like there's a workaround for this, and it's one I had used 10+ years ago. Also, I did work on the original syntax coloring code 20-ish years ago, not sure if the current version has any remnants from those days though. The workaround is to use <span class='highlight'> inside the <pre> block.
Example
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Sup?");
}
}
