I have not received a Daily Insider email since 1/13. It's kind of part of my daily ritual. Are other people receiving them? Is there a problem with the server?
Thanks,
Scott

There was a problem last week[^] where the email went out late. Since then, I've received it on time every weekday.

Thanks very much for your email. I have sent you an email confirmation request which should help resolve the issue. Please let me know if you receive it OK.
Also, please let me know if any of these are the issue:

Sean,
Thanks for the assist. I received the email confirmation request and confirmed my email. I'll let you know in the morning if I receive the newsletter.
I looked at the FAQ and I don't think any of those are the problem.
Thanks again!

Hello,
in the mailout from 1/18/2016 you recommend to readers, without further discussion, to move their code to online repositories because those repositories supposedly keep your code safe. Your article listed three specific services and to be honest, I cannot judge their "hacker proofness" and disaster recovery plans.
However, I'd like to remind everybody what can happen to code repository services, even those that claim redundancy and distribution across three continents:
Hacker puts hosting service Code Spaces out of business | Threatpost[^]
For those of you too busy to read, a hacker compromised Code Space's back-end, demanded money, and then deleted almost everything hosted, including back-ups, once he or she noticed they were trying to take counter measures. I personally lost a valuable code repository hosted by Code Spaces during that attack, and of course I had not taken a backup anytime recently. In fact, I was not aware of a way to take "off-service" backups of repositories automatically and easily at the time.
Long story short, even if you think your code is safer with a hosting service than on your PC or in your local network, if you value your code you still need to do regular backups to another location (I'd recommend to a storage medium that you physically own).
Regards, Christoph

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
That's a good point, and any file hosting service worth their salt is going to implement offsite, disconnected backups.

I am not sure if this is a bug or is it by design. But when I look at the RSS feed of someone's articles', I see the views field value as 0 always.
<views>0</views>
Could anyone shed some light on whether is it a bug or is this behavior by design?

I noticed that on two of my articles I have three comments that where posted a week ago. I did not receive an email for any of them. I like to respond quickly to my readers.

You settings seem fine. Let me know if you get a notification about this post and we'll debug from there.

I did not get email for your reply. I saw your reply by going to "Discussions".

Have you checked you spam / junk box? Are there any auto-archiving rules where CodeProject emails go into a different email folder? Any firewall / email server blocking rules in place by you or your company? Are you checking the right email account?
cheers

I now have two emails in my normal inbox related to your two recent answers in the Site bugs/ Suggestions forum.
The issue of no email when someone adds an entry to discussions of an article is not new. I did raise it in the past (June 9, 2015 and June 13, 2015). Your answer at that time was "The email service stopped without auto-restarting. Kicked." It happens only for the first message of a thread. Subsequent messages generate two email. When this issue occurs, subsequent messages generate only one message.

The service was fine in this case.

Can you please clarify?
If someone posts a message on one of your articles, you don't get a notification, correct?
If someone answers one of your messages on one of your articles, you get two notifications?
Can you please forward me one of those repeated notifications? chris at codeproject.com.
cheers

I do not have an example at this time. I cleaned my inbox and deleted box recently. Next time I will get or not get one of these messages I will let you know the result. Thanks for looking into it.

Thanks.
Here is my reply to Chris without the three attachments:
Hi Chris,
I received 3 messages from Code Project this morning. All three are attached.
First, the problem of not getting a message is obviously solved.
The Test Message is the first message in a thread. I received one message.
The Selling Digital Downloads is not the first message of a thread. I received two almost identical messages. The only difference is the first line.
Member 12234973 has posted a reply to your message at "[Article]: Google Play In-App Billing Demo App":

My LinkedIn profile url is Ravi Bhavnani | LinkedIn[^]. When I enter this in my Settings | Professional Profile, it's saved as https//wwwlinkedincom/in/ravib.
/ravi
|
|
|
|
|
Try setting it to just ravib instead of the full URL.

I aready tried that. That causes the generated url to be https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=ravib which is invalid. The correct url is https://www.linkedin.com/in/ravib.
/ravi

|

LinkedIn changed the format from https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=164916608 to https://www.linkedin.com/in/kornfeldpetereliyahu
If you have your old number somewhere it will still work as LinkedIn will do the redirecting...but for the new form Chris should do some update on CodeProject's side...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Can you please try now?
