Confirming email addresses is the way to find out that the email account associated with CP is still the active one (for the purposes of sending you things you've subscribed to such as the newsletters), and that the account is still active. It's not being done for nefarious purposes.

In 12 years you have only posted 8 messages so CP needs to check that you are still around.

I beg to differ.
"Bad programming" is sending emails, year after year, to email addresses that have been abandoned or closed without ensuring the account is still actually active. We ask for emails to be reconfirmed specifically to avoid sending emails to accounts from those who simply aren't interested, have left a company, or have closed their account in order to reduce the amount of junk emails going around.
It's the right thing to do, and I wish more organisations would do it.
We also do our best to silently confirm emails. You click a link on an article or news item in an email and our system will note that you opened and visited a link in your email, hence your email is active and we won't bother you again for a while.

Do you filter out temporary email domains (such as mailinator)? If not, that may be a good idea.

I recently had to confirm my email address ... first time in about 5 years ...because I haven't been active on the site for a few months. I like these checks ... I've seen what I believe to be "hacked" accounts posting rubbish... I'd rather have to spend 30 seconds confirming that this is "me" than some ***** being able to post stuff in my name.

I updated my email address and ever since have not received any of the newsletter daily emails. Can someone take a look? I miss them. Thanks!

I have sent you an email confirmation request which should help resolve the issue. Please let me know if you receive it OK.
Thanks,

I answered a QA question following a link on the main page (Latest Discussions).
But the question (How I download and install wireless sensor network simulator v1.1[^]) did not appear in the QA list so far (posted over an hour ago).
To answer the expected question in advance: No QA filter set.
Even using the tag link on the question did not show it in the list (a seldom tag so that there are only few new questions: Quick Answers[^] ).
Not a problem for me but probably for those asking and wondering why they got no or few answers.
Would be nice if someone else can confirm this or check if the question is shown for him.

This one's a little puzzling. How did you see it if it wasn't appearing in the list?
I'm wondering if it was trapped in the moderation queue. You have plenty of rep to see items under moderation.

I saw it on the main page at "Latest Discussions", followed the link and answered. Later I could see it in my list of anwers.
But know it is clear:
Quote: Closed because the post is not clear, or is incomplete and has not been phrased in a way that allows it to be fully understood.. Reported by Chris Maunder on Monday, November 28, 2016 3:17pm
However, you closed it one hour after my message and two hours after the question has been posted.
I think you should close this case now.
BTW: There is a double full stop in the "Closed" message.

Yeah, probably because it's been fixed.

Your rss feed redirects from http to https, but microsoft TCP stack fails to establish a SSL/TLS secure channel.

Which version of IE?

Not using IE, but my own RSS Reader with MS Syndication Classes. Your RSS feed works fine with current versions of Firefox and IE. I used WireShark to diagnose the communication and finally found the problem: CodeProject supports only TLS 1.2 and my RSS Reader is using .NET 4.5, where TLS1.0 is the default. Had to set
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
Sorry for bothering you.
Funny that this problem did not show up with other websites; they all should think about their TLS configuration!

I've asked my guys to see if enabling 1.0 is possible (and sensible).

Got ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap when trying to reach the site using my ancient version (17) of Firefox, was fine yesterday (Sat). OK in IE 11. Puzzled.

Yeah - we've moved to SSL-only and if we crank down the security so ancient versions of browsers work then we start seeing newer browsers complain.

Unable to update the article, not sure why.
ASP.NET Web API - Keeping It Simple
The article I wrote got published without review and the images are displaying as text links.
I posted a request for help the Article Writing forum but have not got a response.
|
|
|
|
|
I've fixed the issue and edited the article. It looks like the last two images weren't uploaded, though. Can you please take a look?
cheers
Chris Maunder

Chris,
Thank you for fixing the images. I definitely like the fixed version better than the initial version
Re. the missing images. I am still unable to edit the text, delete the missing images or upload replacements.
Update: I believe I was able to upload replacements for the missing images (still unable to edit article text or delete the missing image entries). The replacements appear in the working folder for the article. I am hoping they will be copied to their final destination shortly.
