Authors can add their own (new) tags if they have sufficient reputation.

As a tag?

I'm removing this now.

Great, thank you very much, Chris.
I'll try to remove incorrect tags from my articles when this feature is fixed (probably not yet). I already saw "Visual Studio 2017"; this is great.
Do we need Code-Blocks as a tag? I would say: why not? if we have "visual-studio", why not some other popular IDE? Code::Blocks is popular enough, I thinks. (By the way, can it appear in correct verbatim spelling on the page, such as "Visual Studio", "Visual Studio 2017", "Code::Blocks", without dashes?) If we list some IDE at all, probably "Visual Studio Code", "Eclipse", "NetBeans" are also important enough, "MonoDevelop", "SharpDevelop", "Free Pascal Lazarus" could be considered — there is something to think about. It may need another keyboard column, after all...
Thank you.

Actually it turns out that sniffing can be done more accurately, so I've updated instead of removing this feature.
Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov wrote: can it appear in correct verbatim spelling on the page...without dashes?
We used to be able to do this but with user-supplied tags this is harder (for us).
Tags are traditionally alphanumeric (with dashes) for a few (probably out of date) reasons. We had (internally) the tag name in a form that was more human friendly but by opening up the system so users could add tags we've lost the ability to add richer info to the tags. We could simply make tags editable and ask people to provide a full name, maybe a logo, synonyms etc, but I'm not sure how many would take up the challenge.

Okay, then you probably need to look at these two projects. I've just re-tested the problem of unwanted persistent tag with them:
Thread Wrapper for Modern C++,
Conveyor Thread Wrapper for Modern C++.
To both article, the tag VS2013 is added on submission. The attempts to remove or replace those tags did not work. Needless to say, none of them contain VS 2013 solutions or projects, I don't even have this version anymore. I am not sure any detectable difference exists though.
Any thoughts?

If two people sit in a car and five get out, how many must get back into the car so that it is empty?
Seriously, as new undead CP member I'm not concerned so much about reputation points, but subtracting 200 points for not wanting four newsletters (each worth 50 points I never received) has put me under scrutiny as a spammer and that's a little annoying.

It's not a maths problem, it's a bug.
I'm on it. (and apologies)

No problem. The logic behind keeping an eye on new users that drop below 100 reputation points is understandable.
Meanwhile I hopefully will find ways to get over the minimum 100 reputation points and then I will be off the hook again.

Looks like you're already there.
Unfortunately spam means the internet has become like airport security: a fraction of a tiny fraction make life annoying for pretty much everyone.

Is that the most passive aggressive bug report you ever got?

Nah, I just wanted to avoid a boring bug report or whining about reputation points.

Hi,
It doesn't appear that the QA filter, setup in my account settings, takes effect when I go to QA. Up until a few days ago it worked OK, I must be missing something.
Chrome Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)
Win 10 Pro Version 10.0.14393
Thanks

Have you changed any of the selectors on the home page, as that will affect it?

Interesting thought, I haven't changed anything purposefully. Just took a gander at the site filters on the home page and indeed they're set correctly.

QA filters no longer auto-populate. I'm going to reinstate this but it was done to help us with a new system we're integrating. Sorry for the annoyance.

No problem.
You've got a great site here by the way.

Hi,
I would like to kindly suggest you to fix the bug which refers to your contact form and the pick list with the country names.
When a member who is from Montenegro pick this country in a contact form, this country does not appear in the profile but the wrong country name - Yugoslavia. Montenegro used to be a part of Yugoslavia but since 2006 is independent. So you should synchronize the pick list with country names with what is seen in the profile.
Thanks,
|

Not that wiki is the reference over all but maybe in this case it helps to Speed up the update.

Hey Lazar,
Is Montenegro your current country and do I have permission to change your profile to "Montenegro" to test our system using your account?

Hey,
Montenegro is my current country and you can change it in my profile.
Thank you.

Slightly belated, but this is now working as you'd expect.

Has the hamster in charge of sorting the Insider News forum been at the fermented seeds again?
At the moment, the top posts on the first page are in the following order:
- 15 hours 44 minutes ago;
- 4 × 7 hours 3 minutes ago;
- 23-Jun-17 22:28
- 6 × 7 hours 3 minutes ago;
- 23-Jun-17 1:47
- (The rest seem to be in the correct order.)
