Hi,
I do not receive any notification email for my articles althouh I suppose to.
Also, I always have a notification warning about: "We need your permission to email you (It's a CASL thing...).
You have my permission now. I want to receive notifications about any interractions on my articles.
Thanks,
Eric

Can you check on your articles' forums, at the top right, whether or not the Email Alerts box is filled out so you get alerts?
cheers

Every thing seems to be perfect. It is exactly as expected plus I also have "Replies to Posts" selected.
IT really seems to be a bug somewhere.
I changed my email and still don't receive anything.
ALSO: I still have the notification which I cannot remove : "We need your permission to ... CASL thing..."
Could you fix that?

Désolé, Eric. I've looked at your account and it seems fine from here, but could you please email me (chris@codeproject.com) the link that is presented to you in the CASL warning? I'll dig into that and see what's going wrong.
cheers

I still don't receive any notification email and I still have the messge "We need your permission to email you (it's a CASL thing...)". It's really sad. I can't reply to peoples in a reasonable delay due this bug. Why do I have this behavior? Why can't you fix it?

Can you email me, I will give you my password and you will see what I'm talking about. Change my email for yours in my account and create notifications. Also see the notification that's always there about CASL things...

My question was legitimate and I had a link to code pen for the code. Someone just closed my question as spam. If they didn't know answer, they could have just moved along instead of being a jerk about it.

Let me look into what happened. We get a lot of spammers (a lot!) so there can be a little shoot-first-ask-questions-later.
Update: your first short question was marked as spam. I've no idea why. That seemed inappropriate.
You re-posted the question and that was trapped by our spam trapper. Possibly because it was similar to the first that had been marked as spam. I marked it as "not spam". The third has been answered.
cheers

Yeah, somebody ran a bot and sent a massive number of votes.
I think I've cleaned them up.

Yeah, I get it. I do.
It just pains me that awesome answers and guidance are being buried in comments rather than being added as new answers or updates to previous answers. The whole point is to provide a solid answer to a question so that when the other 1000 people with that question come to the page they see the question, and they see the best, complete answer in one hit without needing to put on the diving gear.
How do we solve that issue?
cheers

I know what you mean, but ...
It's all about communication and conversation: you can be having a relevant conversation with someone who didn't post the original question, just a comment to an answer. Adding a solution doesn't notify them and doesn't help the original poster because he lost interest when his code worked three years ago! 
In an ideal world such conversations would be in a separate forum rather than QA, but that's a PITA to work out for humans, never mind code.
Plus, posting multiple answers looks like rep point hunting to some people (and normally is).
Modifying the solution doesn't help that either as you need the Scuba gear to get through that after a short while - and it disconnects the answer from the comment it replies to.
I don't think there is a perfect solution ... Or maybe there is.
Perhaps the answer is to have a way to branch off a new QA question if you are replying to a non-OP comment and it's a long / technical reply? That way, the new poster gets a good reply, and the original question isn't clogged up with "side issues" that aren't necessarily direct related to the original? Not sure of the mechanics - it's not even 06:00 and I haven't had ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) yet.

What we need is two things
- A Summariser badge for those with the Angelic patience to wade through the discussion and distil it down to the best answer (and possibly a better question)
- A UI that focusses the casual, harried reader (is that a thing?) on the answer to the problem they are trying to solve
But I totally get your point about communication. Communication, beyond anything else, is the most important thing here.
cheers

I think #1 could be a good start. Not sure how many people will be willing to do it, though.
M.D.V. 
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.

Would a Summarizer be different than an Editor? Maybe the latter would suffice.

They're the same thing, really

If the forum is restricted, and I can't view it, why does it appear in the sidebar?
