It's interesting I had a similar problem with images in an imported blog post and now that post in under articles as well.

Thanks, it's a blog post again.

It's kinda embarrassing to admit but until I learned this was due to a bug just now, I thought it was an article because of a promotion or upgrade Smile | :)

Are you guys aware that the My Articles page doesn't show article ratings, popularity or number of votes?

The same issue is affecting the votes for messages in the forums, as reported yesterday:

The spelling of 'embarrassing' on the weird and wonderful page[^] is incorrect. Kindly rectify.

There seems to be something wrong with this article.
Apache Hadoop for Windows Platform[^]

The menu on the left seems to be behind the article (comments) and there is a white space between the comments and the add.
If I scroll all the way up it displays correct but as soon as the first link in his article (https://app.box.com/s/11fwozokqmc1ohttt117) scrolls into view the page shifts.
Resolution might be a issue since I don't have it on my second display. Resolution from main display on laptop: 1366x768.

Browser: Chrome 46.0.2490.80 m

Also, could you press the turbo button again please. CP seems very slow at the moment.

If needed I have screenshot.

The icon says it's fixed but I still have this.
The left menu is shrunk to about 50 pixels when I scroll down.
Also tried it in firefox this time and it's the same there.

Did several ctrl+F5's, but that didn't help.

I can't replicate - not in Chrome or Firefox.

Could you please send me a screenshot of what your're seeing?

Any adblockers in place?

Code Projects news links should not require authentication on third party sites

I have received a code project email named "Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services?" with a watch video button; after clicking that I end up on a page with:

force.com platform as a service
Authorization Required

You must first log in or register before accessing this page.
If you have forgotten your password, click Forgot Password to reset it.

Of course I have no account on that site; moreover there is no link to create one (even "click Forgot Password" has no hyperlink).

But that is not the real issue; the issue is the fact that CodeProject should not promote third party news that are not accessible to everyone.

Challenge is Life!

We've talked to Pluralsight and it turns out it was a simple, regrettable link error. They wanted to show you something interested, you wanted to view it, the Gods of the Internet decided otherwise.

They are sad. They will make amends somehow.

I almost believed you; unfortunately I had to check and the Gods of the Internet were not involved because it happened again, but in another form.

Now I was sent to a page which has a small introduction and SHARE: Facebook, Twitter, G+.

Nothing else!!! No video!
I have no Facebook, Twitter or G+ accounts so, I cannot share, so no video for me!!!

I become so irritated and just hacked the damn thing - look what it is supposed to happen next:

form.onSuccess(function (values, followUpUrl) {
    jQuery(this.formElem).trigger("ps.formSuccess");
    var redirectPath = "http://learn.pluralsight.com/webinar-od-difference-between-azure-and-aws-thank-you";

And yes, the redirectPath works perfectly.

I know that not CodeProject is doing this; but the email came from CodeProject so it is partialy responsible (unless, of course, CodeProject tolerates this, and I am wasting my time here); but if someone gets a few emails like that, he will not complain, not unsubscribe, but take the easiest way: click the "this is spam" button.

P.S. Checked all browsers, the same behavior; I will send you a screenshot.

I am sure admins are aware of this, but where did all the votes went? The votes are no longer being shown...

On the forum posts.
On the "My articles" tab, the article vote counts are 0/0 (not shown).

Is this a bug or a flag for a new feature or something? Smile | :)

Looks like new votes are showing up - your message is now green. Older votes are still visible in the "My Messages" list, but don't show up in the forum.

Is it green[^]?

Votes on my profile forum, as well as others are not shown. The votes on articles (under Articles Submitted on profile) are also not shown. The problem persists.

It's green for me[^].

Maybe it's only showing new votes placed by the current user? Other messages that I've up-voted earlier today aren't showing any votes.
