I Talked with the people of CodeProject: they wish to improve the voting system. Obviously, the site "is not going to change the rules because one person disagrees with them". But they are ready to have a positive confrontation and if the case...
«Well that holds true for any bookmark anywhere on the internet.»:
wrong.
«Well that holds true for any, not properly managed, bookmark anywhere on the internet.»:
That's correct!
«And if people wish to read your article it is easy enough to find, via the search facility, or by going to your home page.»
That could be a solution.
A "site centric" (ego-centric) solution.
I prefer a "custom centric" solution that makes easier the life of the user providing a direct link to the new article
«Why did you mark the article as obsolete rather than just updating it with whatever new information you wished to add? That would have resolved all your questions without any difficulty, and you would keep your reputation points.»
Why?
Just because Sean suggest to me to do that way.
Is that enough for you?
Let me finish saying that thinking more before speaking, this could have been the place where the community could have initiated a serious conversation that could possibly have led to some results

I did think; I was merely trying to explain why some things happened, and how they could be resolved.

In the "Discussions" block on the home page, threads are prefixed with a count. For a while it puzzled me that the counts often appeared too low, but I finally twigged that the displayed count is the number of direct responses to the original post (indent level one). [edit] .. or maybe something else again ... [/edit]
Maybe the total thread length might be a more useful number to display.
Not a biggie, in fact barely above the noise level...

Both Chris and I have looked and didn't see a discrepancy. If you see it again, could you capture an image, or at least describe what you see and identify the message that is of concern.
Thanks

Actually, it appears to be a caching issue. I think I need to reduce the cache duration.

Hi. I've been trying to add ESP32, STM32 and ESP-IDF tags to submitted content, but they do not show up.
I've checked my reputation/privileges and it says I can add tags. After trying twice, here I am.
What am I missing? I simply go to the article I'm editing, to the tag heading, and as items in the comma delimited list I type ESP32, ESP-IDF and nothing happens when I submit. It's as though I never entered them.
So my question is, how do I add tags?

You should be able to add new tags. I will look into this.

You should be able to create new tags now. That was a tricky little bug.

Thank you. I'm going to go back and edit one of my big articles and I'll see if it sticks.

I tried it, and they didn't stick.
GFX Forever: The Complete Guide to GFX for IoT[^]
I tried to add ESP32 (an IoT SoC chip) and ESP-IDF (the ESP32 development framework/SDK) to my article and they didn't take.
Could it be cached?

It must be a problem with permissions now. I've got the creation and caching all sorted out, but as an Admin I have no problems with permissions. I'll dig back in.
In the meantime, I'll add the tags for you.

And of course, the tags didn't stick. It's going to be one of 'those' days.

I tracked it down. It seems that the ESP32 tag had been created in the past and then had been marked deleted. This caused a silent failure of the creation of the new tags. I added the other and then undeleted ESP32.
They are both showing on your article now but may get deleted again. I will be talking to Chris about tags shortly.

I was hoping that someone would fix the C++ pretty printing code.
In an ideal world, I would like to just embed plain C++ code in an article or answer:
<h1>include <stdlib.h></h1>
Currently; even pasting, and then choosing encode as HTML runs into problems:
<h1>include <stdlib.h></h1>
Yesterday I tried embedding some code in a reply, The Lounge, and as all can see, this did not work all that well.
Best regards

Thanks for the report. This, and the 'fix' by @David-ONeil in his response, my help us understand a tricky issue.

This has something to do with Markdown, as it happened to me earlier today when posting some Python code. And I never have Use Markdown formatting ticked.
|
|
|
|
|
That is my guess too … my gut feeling is that if markdown was disabled for anything between <pre ...> and </pre> then the problem will be solved.

Great, I have been planning to write a couple of articles since February, so for me this is a real showstopper.

I found that if your editor copies your code as something other than plain text (markup or whatever), like VS Code does, CP will have problems with pasting it into code panels.
My workaround is to first paste into notepad to strip all the extra junk and then copy it from notepad to the site.

That is probably worth an attempt …
<h1>include<std.lib></h1>
<h1>include<std.lib></h1>
'Use Markdown formatting' still interferes with how the text inside <pre>...</pre> element is interpreted, and so it seems like the solution I was looking for is rather simple: Uncheck 'Use Markdown formatting'.
Hopefully this will also be the case for the article editor.

Interestingly the issue was you had the "Use Markdown" checkbox checked.
If you uncheck that, or use
```C++
...
```
in Markdown, then it works fine.
(I've edited your post to fix the formatting)
Not sure what's going on, but it could be our Markdown processor (MarkdownSharp) doesn't like some of the character encoding.

Quote: Interestingly the issue was you had the "Use Markdown" checkbox checked
Right, noticed that after Richards post. Unchecking 'Use Markdown' seems to work for most cases.
Now, here is another, probably unrelated, formatting issue:
long long value = 1'000'000'000;
for(long long i = 0; i < value; ++i)
{
...
}
and this would probably look better with a bit more color:
template<typename T>
inline constexpr bool IsReference = std::is_same_v< std::remove_volatile_t<std::remove_const_t<T>> , std::remove_reference_t<std::remove_volatile_t<std::remove_const_t<T>>>> == false;
template<typename T>
concept StreamIO = ( StreamReader<T> && StreamWriter<T> );
template<typename T>
concept StreamSeek = requires( T t, long long offset, SeekOrigin seekOrigin )
{
{ t.Seek( offset, seekOrigin ) }->std::convertible_to<long long>;
};
template<typename T>
concept StreamFeatureTests = requires( T t )
{
{ t.CanRead( ) } ->std::convertible_to<bool>;
{ t.CanSeek( ) } ->std::convertible_to<bool>;
{ t.CanTimeout( ) } ->std::convertible_to<bool>;
{ t.CanWrite( ) } ->std::convertible_to<bool>;
};
But you are essentially right, unchecking 'Use Markdown' seems to do the trick

Ugh. The apostrophe separated numbers are just...ugh. Comma separated, underscore separated. They are easy. But reusing a string delimiter for numbers means things get a little messy.
I'll add the other case to our test rig and work out what's happening. I suspect the nest templates are blowing it's poor little brain.
cheers
