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?

When i see folks like Richard Deeming engaging/teaching/clarifying through careful comments on a QA question like this: [^] ...
i want to show appreciation.

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

Thanks, I'll be deploying an update that will give us more guidance on why your repo isn't being pulled.
However. Your repo's README is very light on an explanation of what it is, and is mainly a list of links to other places. As such it's not a great fit for CodeProject since it's more of just an ad, not a self-contained article that's hosted as a GitHub Project.
If you wish to post your code on CodeProject that would be awesome, but I would strongly recommend you post something like https://featbit.medium.com/introducing-featbit-e0cef61572a as the content, rather than just the current README.
cheers

Thank you. I will take time to make my readme better

As reported here[^], trying to import a GitHub project with a valid README.md file returns an error:

Thanks mate. Digging in now.

I don't use Code Project any longer and I would like to delete my account.
Thank you.

You can do that yourself: go to Your Settings[^], select the "Privacy" tab, and choose between "Close my account" and "Forget me Forever".

The "protector" badge seems to have gained a white background, which makes it look odd when a message is expanded.

Can be the same problem why the "Founder" Bob of Chris looks weird too?
I think it is wider or shorter than it should.

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.

I haven't lost my mind. The title makes sense when you look at the C# forum - there are two orphaned answers at the top of the page. Tested in Edge and Chrome (latest versions). Web 02, and Web 01 servers.

An orphaned post. This is a figment of your imagination because this is impossible. The code said so.
(I'll dig in and fix it)

IIRC there was a time when we could recover the text that was removed in this way.
