Quote: if the "quick" question DOES NOT have accepted answer after period of time , ditch it!
I'd have to ask .. why?
-Is it really worth going to the effort of writing and testing the code to delete them?
- Not all questioners "Accept" a solution so straight away there are questions as to your thinking.
- Not all questions end up with a solution because a member may have answered the question in a comment instead - this is a very frequent occurrence. So don't delete "unanswered" questions with comments? What if the comment is "please update your question with the code / error message / more detail"
- how long is a "period of time"? One week, one month, one year? Does one size really fit all?
Don't forget, you can report a question as "Unclear or Incomplete", "Off Topic" etc. Just convince 2 other members to do the same and the question will automatically be deleted.

It's perfectly fine (for you) to ask why.
But I am NOT interested in discussing my post.
Everybody has a different view / opinion.
If the forum "quick answers" is managed for purpose of keeping "statistics" / archive there is
no point to discuss.
What I do object is to have "discussions" and "quick answers" - two forums.
What I see is that "quick answers" is just easy catch all. It must be difficult to post in proper "discussions" forum.
So if it is the main forum, the "comments" format is goofy. (Just try to post real code there)
Cheers

That discussion was resolved years ago when Chris first created QA. See Code Project Quick Answers FAQ[^].

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Go to My Settings and I'm here Your CodeProject Settings (This page allows you to modify your current profile.) At the bottom of the page go to Sign in using your Social Network Account. Here I connected with GitHub, Google and Microsoft.
Connect with LinkedIn and Facebook not working.

Perhaps more of us have the good sense not to be part of any Social Network (except, of course, CP).

Is your problem trying to create a new login or using an existing login?

I am not seeing any issue with LinkedIn, but am seeing a rate limiting issue with FaceBook.
What error are you getting when trying to login using LinkedIn?
I'll look into this.

Well, I'm not getting any problems with FaceBook either.
It seems that if you enter the incorrect password, you get an error message about rate limiting, not a password error. : :
Please try again, and if you still have issues, verify your LinkedIn and Facebook passwords by going to the sites and logging in.

This may have been suggested already, but it would be good if CP had a dark mode.

CP Dark Theme[^]

As I said last year, I'm one of those weird people who gets eye strain from looking at light text on a dark background, so having the option to chose would be essential.
I've seen sites which added a dark mode as an option, and then removed the light mode option because it was too much work to maintain both.

I use dark mode everyewhere that it's an option - Visual Studio, Twitter, Facebook, Outlook etc. I find it drastically reduces the amount of eye strain.

For you.
For me, it drastically increases the amount of eye strain.
Which is why I said it would have to be an option, rather than forcing it on everyone.

Same here. I generally change my cmd windows to black on white if I need to use them for any length of time.

<description><html><head></head><body><h2>Disclaimer</h2>
Rss readers doesn't support full HTML page, is it possible to fix that?
Thanks!
Have a great day

Hi Guys,
Almost all the articles that I posted are marked as - "This is an unfinished article - delete",
and a lot of them disappeared from the list.
I have total 104 articles, but only a few are showing
Is there anything wrong?
[https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/TigerBear-LI#Article]
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Song

This is because there is a draft version for each of these articles, meaning it looks like there was an update started but not completed.
This is a spurious message and I'll get it sorted out in the next day or so.
cheers

Hi Chris,
I never did anything on them. It is very strange why they become draft. If you can help I will definitely appreciate it.
I noticed this problem since yesterday.
Thanks,
Song

In my profile settings, Email tab, all three checkboxes under Email Notifications are checked. However, when I post anything in the message boards, the "E-mail me if someone replies to this message" checkbox is unchecked.

Any ad blockers such as uBlock?

Not that one specifically, but I do have ad blocking turned on within Chrome. I also have a very healthy hosts file. Would either of those keep the "E-mail me if someone replies to this message" checkbox unchecked? I didn't have this issue until very recently.
