I feel like I'm being harassed by the people who work at CP. I used your github article submission tool to import my standard markdown code tutorials and libraries. The automatic tool is filled with many bugs.
Just to name a few
1. Image download and display issues and caching on your side. Probably being blocked by too many requests to github.
2. Encoding Issues of markdown to html on your side.
3. Missing markdown of things like table display.
4. Erasing of project thumbnails after import.
5. wysiwyg editor is full of display issues, I literally have to edit as plain text, just to get things to work properly.
6. Syntax highlighter is malfunctioning in pre code tags, keeps trying to color syntax with spans incorrectly
7. Incorrect widths for images, max-widths mixed with height and width and px mixed with percentage.
As of the harassment... The editors there, think its necessary to update automatic imported code. This logic is kinda silly in the sense that every time someone makes a change to their github repo, that the editors need to make typo changes. On big projects that have lots of updates seems counter intuitive. Before making changes, maybe they should get the markdown parser working correctly. Maybe you should have an option to pull only one time, not on every update, and let the updating be managed by the author. Also the import wizard automatically pulls from the readme.md file in the repo. Most people don't build articles out of a readme.
I have deleted my new articles. It has been a complete waste of time. I'm frustrated enough to delete my whole account.
I use to work for you briefly in the past. I took time off from this site and stopped posting here, because of bugs.
Thanks for your time.
Adam

Hey Adam,
I would have loved to be able to work through each of these issues in turn to get it all sorted out. I've made changes to the way we handle the GitHub generated HTML and provided a page that allows you to test how it all goes so you can either work around issues your end or yell at us with specific examples we can debug against our end.
I'm also happy to talk about our editors diving in constantly to help editing typos but I can't help with markdown tables because we use the HTML that GitHub sends us based on the README file.
There's tons of things that can be added to this system but I'd prefer to focus on things like the WYSIWYG issues you mentioned. It's a very simple system to provide a very simple and limited solution. The more people who use it, and help us iron out the niggles and help us work through what's important and what's nice, the more able we are to dedicate resources to it.
cheers

It would be very convenient if I could number the equations with a \label{eq:Transport} in latex and do \eqref{eq:Transport} in the text. Is it possible?

It's not an automatic thing, but he's been added as a Trusted Author and gets the VIP pass.

Maybe we can add an address that we don't care about so that other members can directly contact us privately.
eg The Lounge[^]

If someone doesn't mind to get contacted through privatelly, then you should see:
in all his / her forum messages.
When you write an email using that option, the other person will get the message with the email address you used to register here in CP. If he / she wants to answer back using the email... voilà. You have successfully started a private email conversation

Nope, it's only available for Protectors.
Look in your homepage, the "Privileges" tab; near the bottom is the "Have the ability to send direct emails to members in the forums" option.

If a user has this checked in his own settings, the "email" link appears right to the "reply" link... doesn't it?
I have received emails from people that were not protectors or with very very low reputation.
I can't check because I have no other account and if I log off, then I see nothing, not even the reply. Only the "sign in // view thread" options

I think it changed in the last couple of years.
It's quite likely it was being abused - you know what kind of people we get here sometimes.

Didn't notice it.

Yeah I know, those kind of emails were the one or two messages from people with very low reputation I got

I think it did not changed basically.
Before a longer time, it was enabled by the default.
What then changed before some years (1, 2, 3?) was, that value was set back to disabled and one has to enable that option expliciltely.

I have been holding off asking this question for quite some time...'
Is there any reason why Code Project is not being fed into daily.dev | Where developers grow together[^] news feed?
This would be great exposure for the website and content authors.

It seems that Top Rank Articles doesn't list any of the top one. By example, my Chess Program in C# was rated third or four in the list and is not anymore in the top 100. Is it a bug or did the algorithm has been changed?

We have a bug. If you check the "include updated articles" then your article appears as #2.

I cannot find any "include updated articles" in the page. Also, the "Order by" combo box doesn't do anything.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm experiencing issues with the Top Ranked Articles page as well.
For me, every way of filtering or ordering on that page is broken.
It just doesn't change anything.
I can't find an option to include updated articles either.

Missed that one. We'll get this fixed soon.
