I think you are backing up my point though. You would get more attention on your articles because they would bubble to the top more often, because you log on often. There could be a whole weighting thing with author login, article vote rating, number of views.
It seems like that would better define "Featured Articles".
Edit:
I will also make my way to your articles and check them out.

I think that some articles (very highly rated by many voters, history of revision by the author over time, history of good support by the author over time) are CodeProject's "Jewels in the Crown," and deserve to get featured in rotation, or whatever, no matter how many years mileage they have.
If an article has not been highly voted by many voters, and is more than some months old, I don't think it should be featured.
Those are my preferences, but, as I write this, I know I don't know what method is used to select featured articles now; so, perhaps we should ask CodeProject staff about that ?
cheers, Bill

Good points. I agree.
The "how long it has been since author logged in" could just be a weight value or something.
Thanks.

I read every suggestion, and they all get sorted and either fixed or put on the TODO.
The reason for the featured articles is to provide a place to pop up Really Good Stuff that you not otherwise catch. Changing it to restrict it based on author activity changes it to a system that would Show Active Authors Their Articles. Which is not a bad thing, but just not the original intent.

Fair enough. Thanks for the reply.
I thought of the suggestion because I was reading an older article which had popped up and then examined the author's profile and it seemed to indicate the person hadn't been around in a while.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
My understanding is that when I make a change to my blog I need approval from someone in the community. Is it completely random or are they put in a queue or something? Because sometimes it takes minutes sometimes 5-6 hours so I don't know what the criteria is. Also is there a way to speed up the process if it's rather urgent (I don't have a such situation at the moment but thought would be nice to know for future reference).
Thanks,
Volkan

Each new blog entry or blog entry update goes into the Article Approval queue. If it's just an update during business hours on a weekday, it shouldn't take that long. If it's outside of business articles, a new post, or on the weekend it will take longer.
During business hours on a weekday, if it's an emergency, shoot me an email sean@codeproject.com and link me the update and tell me to "get it updated, chop chop."
Thanks,

Cool, thank you for the information.
Also good to know what to do in case of an emergency.

Hello,
On my blog I use an AWS S3 bucket to store images and they are publicly available. I never had an issue with the imported blogs before but today I became aware of a strange issue with my 8th import!
For some reason, the images were renamed and they were expected to have been uploaded to CP. Is this a new behavioural change with imports that we should be aware of? Or is it because of something done during the editing process?
This is the article I'm talking about: [^]
Any comments and pointers are welcome.
Thanks,
Volkan

All the images look OK to me.

Yeah that's also a weird thing I couldn't understand. It happened to me only once so I cannot reproduce the issue.
When I edited the article on the right side all images were reported as missing even though I was able to view them fine so I ignored that but someone else also reported that the images were missing. So I really have no clue what happened there and how many people are seeing the article fine and how many with the missing images. Really confused..

Let me know if you get this. (and check your spam folder, anti-virus, ad blockers, firewall, corp policy, the phase of the moon and remove any strong magnets from near your internet connection.)
