Generally when a company creates a group account, they are creating it to give access to certain members within their organization. I assume when group accounts were created, the idea was that they would be open to anyone joining, which means any member of CodeProject can apply to join ANY group.
The unintended result is members end up applying for groups that weren't meant to be open to the public. For example, people apply to join private CodeProject groups all the time that are intended for staff. Every week I reject a few applications for groups I have access to.
The Intel Corporation account is meant to be a private group for Intel people (at least, when it was created). Also, sometimes the people managing the accounts don't necessarily understand how to manage their group, or may not be interested in logging in every week just to reject applicants.
So unfortunately, they likely won't accept you into the group because it was not intended for CodeProject members, and you may never get a notification that indicates your application has been rejected if the person managing the group does not log in to manually reject the application.

Hello,
Today, I want to download a source from CodeProject.
Everithing is fine, but when I try to download, I was always redirected to this page :
https://www.codeproject.com/script/Common/Error.aspx?errres=NoFileName
The error message is not clear and the tip in the URL indicate NoFileName is not help.
After many tries, I finally find that I configure my browser (Firefox and the RefControl extension) to block all referer (privacy and tracking protection), after allow CodeProject to use referer, it's work.
I understand this kind of "protection" to avoid direct link from other website, BUT AT LEAST, please, put an explicit message to understand why the download not start.
Thank you.

Are you clicking on the link, right clicking, or using a download manager?
(try just clicking)

Could you please email me the files and images in a .rar, or renamed .zip (ie .notzip) file? I'll try and get it sorted.
Thanks,

Hi Sean:
Thanks for the quick reply. The "email me" part in the last message was not clickable, could you tell me the email address to send files to?
Thanks.

Works fine for me - Firefox 53.0.3 x64 on Windows 10.
You'll probably need to let Chris know which browser and OS you're using, and provide the results from the browser check page[^].

I've just tried Chrome 58 on an A3, and the reply button shows up when I click on any message in the Insider News forum.
Do you have an ad-blocker installed? That sometimes causes problems.

Hello,
If one clicks on tag node.js it leads to an error page.

Not that it happens so much but I have already seen two or three times users asking why the account was closed(i.e. here[^])
I think it could help adding the missing option of "plagiarism" to the current "abuse/troll" and "spam" to report accounts.

How would that improve things? Plagiarism is a form of abuse ... what does adding another reporting option do to help?
All we will get is more "I didn't plagiarise - I just copied it"
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Some accounts would not be needed to come back and ask what was their abuse

People who plagiarise don't care: they don't see copy'n'paste as a problem, more a way of life. They are still going to come back and say "I didn't plagiarise, I just copy'n'pasted it" - we've had a few of those!

I know... but at least you safe a bit time explaining what the "abuse" is and get through directly to the "I didn't plagiarize"
But yes... I see your point. And I have no problem with the actual system keeped as it is

While responding to a comment, the comment is shown [edit]usually quite often under some special - until now unknown circumstances
[/Edit] at the wrong place after posting.
After refreshing, everything is ok.
If one knows this, it is ok, but for new members this can look really misleading
Not keen on get more comments on it.
https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=767687 seems to know the solution
