Until you asked, no. The last revision was from April 2021. But to see if I had any unintentional drafts, I had clicked on "Update Your Article". Now I have an unwanted draft. Sigh.
Which leads me to my new question - how does one delete a draft of an article? The Delete icon does not clarify if I am deleting the article or the draft.

The home page displays article categories [Following] [All] [Python] [Artificial Intelligence] [IoT] [DevOps] [Web] [Mobile] [...]
On the home page, if you
1. have [All] selected
2. scroll down
3. you'll see 4 articles in [Just Published] [Python] [Artificial Intelligence] [IoT]
Things I've Noticed
There doesn't seem to be any way to continue scrolling and display any of the other groups (DevOps, Web, Mobile).
There is a [Load More] section at the bottom of the last one (IoT) but that of course only loads more IoT articles.
Why aren't those other categories available when simply scrolling down?
Why is Python the first one? This site (authors & articles) are far more interested in .NET so maybe that is the better choice to be moved up in the list?

When I pointed out the arbitrary nature of the home page article categories, someone referred me to this, which simply lists all articles in order of their appearance:
CodeProject - Timeline View[^]
If you click on its "Following" button, you'll only see articles on the topics that you follow.
I wish it was the default home page, because you return to the arbitrary one whenever you click on the banner.

If you are logged in, the last selected tab should be saved in your User Preferences.
This value should be used whenever you open the page to select the last tab you had opened.
This uses a Cookie to hold your User Preference Id, so if you have Cookies disabled, this will not work for you.

I tried editing a the comment Donna left on Solution 1, here[^], and surround her code with PRE tags. When I saved the update, CP saved the PRE tags, but none of the code inside them.
Coming back to the same post and looking at the post in edit reveals all of the CP HTML for the post, but none of the original content or even the PRE tags I surrounded it with.

Repeating an old request from a few years ago:
This morning, The Weird and The Wonderful were flagged with an orange bullet: New post(s) in this forum. None were in sight, not among the first 50. None on page two, entries 51-100. None on page thre ... On page seventeen, entries 801-850, there was a new entry! I can't tell what kept me pressing 'Next' for that long, I just did. I don't do that very often; usually I give up search for the new post after five or six 'Next'.
So I wish that in the list of pages (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Next >) there was some indication: This page has new posts! Unfortunaely, orange color page number is already taken to indicate 'Current page'. What about underscore? In order to put the orange bullet on the forum selector, you must have identified the new posts, so it cant possibly take much extra work to use the same information to tell on which page the new entries appear!
An alternative is to provide a forum specific list of 'Most recent posts'. That was tried for a little while, but either, it was global or it was Lounge specific; I don't remember. I'd prefer a list of recent entries in the currently selected forum.

You can put '*' in the search box and it should find the post. But WTF, 2 1/2 years for the active participant to post a response? Perhaps a record of some sort?

If you are the last to post in a forum it gets the orange ball but it shows no message at all as new.
Might it be what happened?

Not in this case - there was a new entry (not from me!) 800+ posts down, on page 17. I don't think that poster can expect very many follow ups!
This thing you point out, that your own posts cause an orange bullet, but the post isn't flagged as new (to you), has bugged me, too. Why should the poster be treated differently from everybody else? Several times, I have searched through the pages to see if there is possibly some other new post as well, not just mine, often without finding anything. Again: In such cases, having a marker on the pages with new posts would have been very convenient.

I believe that an orange bullet continues to appear after a spam post is purged from a forum, in which case searching for a new post could turn up nothing.
|

I have been suspecting that, too. Not only for spam, but also if the author deletes the entry. Not in this case, though, as there was a new post on page 17, 800+ posts down the list.
I wish they wouldn't count purged posts as new, but not knowing anything about the underlaying data structure, I'd accept a claim from the developers / maintainers that it would require significantly more processing for the 99,99% of the requests when there is no purged entries.
I guess you could add a 'purged' flag to the data records search for flagging the forum, and skip those entries. Often, modifications to a data structure - even as small as adding a flag - could have consequences far beyond what you first would expect. E.g. you must ensure that the flag is always set when appropriate; that could affect several modules. The information is already stored somewhere; making another copy of the same info is bad database practice; it should be normalized. ...And so on.
If the maintainers claim similar problems in using the 'New posts exist' information (causing the orange bullet) to tag another element in the user interface, based on the identity of the new post(s), I'd sure like to see an explanation of why it is 'undoable' or requires an extraordinate amount of processing power.

Making that little "connector" gimcrack shine visibly through the mirk of a reverse color webpage; the one that, in threadview/tight, makes it no longer manditory for me to provide an open other window "edge", as vertical rule, by which I might discern to which upper input a lower input belongs.

I haven’t received a “Daily News” newsletter since Monday morning. Is anyone else having this problem?
|
|
|

I've checked you subscription status and you should be receiving the newsletters.
Have you checked your Junk folder?

I have the same problem. Unfortunately, I cannot access the spam folder or the blocked mails, but I can whitelist e-mail addresses. Which are used for the daily insider and the weekly web developer newsletter?

just the ability to select an icon tag from a dropdown with contents of only a few choices like upvote/downvote/laugh would work for me. usual points added/subtracted for up/down,

This has frustrated me several times today when I wished to give code a rating. Nowhere can I find how to get my darned email confirmed - I've trawled my settings and my valid email is there. So please please please can someone make this dead easy for me? How do I get this email confirmed? Thank you.

Thanks very much for your message. I have sent you an email confirmation. Please let me know if you receive it OK.
Thanks,

Your email didn't hit junk or inbox or anything. However, I found my original 2011 email from code project and the confirm link worked in that.
So I appreciate your help regardless, thank you for coming back to me.

I want to publish my GitHub project here, I import it through this tutorial:
Your GitHub Project on CodeProject[^]
I clicked on "Next Step:preview", but i got a message:
"This repository doesn't appear to have a Readme to import."
But my repo does have a readme file README.md
Is the readme file name case-sensitive?
|
|
|
|
|
Can you post a link to your GitHub repo so we can take a look?
Also: we use the GitHub Nuget package to manage the README so whatever GitHub thinks is a README is what's returned to us. We don't query anything by name directly so there are no case issues.
cheers
