As of this writing, I haven't published any articles at CP, but my profile shows that I've submitted 7 articles. 
Thanks Chris. Like I promised, I'll buy you a few beers.

This is a bug. Just not a bug in the way you think it is. You do actually have 7 articles.

I noticed that on my profile page, I am credited with submitting 4 articles - odd, since I haven't submitted any! But that's not too bad, my average rating is 3.92 with an empty list...

I see that my average article rating is better than yours. 
BTW, I found the bug myself (before reading your post).

For some 10 minutes a message in C# forum is consistenly present when I happen to be served by web13, and absent otherwise (web09, web20). Trying to add a reply fails with a "Cannot find message" which gets shown also by web13.
The message by new member Allan R Landall evolved from "just posted" to "10 mins ago". I don't have its subject line or content, it was about paint events, and fitted above this one: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3170195/Csharp-Class-Library-How-do-I-make-my-class-interop-and-registerable.aspx)
for the last two months there weren't hardly any Sundays the site worked properly; the symptoms aren't always identical, the net effect is posting replies does not work, and signaling such on sugs/bugs forum doesn't work either. I would like to see this problem fixed once and for all, it is very annoying and does not reflect well on our community.
BTW1: the "Cannot find message" error page doesn't allow simple page changes, it is protected as if it holds dirty data, which it doesn't.
BTW2: Here is the reply I wanted to post (I had in on clipboard as always):
Hi,
welcome to CodeProject. Hope you'll enjoy it.
you can signal a Control needs a repaint by calling its Invalidate() method.

No, the primary reason for drawing it all in the paint handler is that it will be invoked automatically when other system activity makes that necessary, as in form minimize-restore, form maximize-restore, form getting uncovered by some other window, etc. And yes PaintEventArgs offering a Graphics object is a big plus.

...and guess what I've spent a chunck of my Sunday doing...
I've found 2 issues: 1 which I'm hoping to have fixed in the next couple of hours (though it is Sunday evening, and evidently this means some people aren't working. Whatever...) and one which will take some noodling.
1. We have a health check that is, irony of ironies, causing IIS to lockup some times. I've asked for it to be removed because it's checking an old system we're removing in a couple of weeks.
2. We have a schedule SQL defrag job that runs weekly and monthly. Today was the weekly AND monthly runs. I've asked the team to work out how to make them less disruptive. It could be we simply need to buy better hardware...

Couldn't you avoid the 2 running together? Do the weekly on Sunday's, monthly on Saturday's (or different hours with a margin for error).
If the problem is the 2 running together at least.

They already are - one in the morning, one in the afternoon. We're not running them together.

Ah k (kind of figured that but one never knows  )
In that case you'll have to order some of those special commando hamsters I guess.

I just published an F# article and syntax highlighting for a large code block looks really weird. Could you please add support for F# highlighting? Thanks!

I applied for Code Project Group on 5-Aug-2009, my current status is still applied.
I want to know when my status will be updated

Please understand that applying to a group - any group - does not mean you will automatically be accepted.
In this case the CodeProject group is for our internal use - it allows CodeProject staff members to post articles or job postings as "CodeProject" instead from their individual accounts.

So, then a reply from the group moderator to him like "Your request to join group XYZ has been denied with the following comments: This group is for internal use only" would have made sense. Or yet better mark the group as private (new feature?) and just don't allow members to apply to join the group at all (membership to private groups will be by invitation only).

An alternative to Rajesh's suggestion would be to rename the group to "Code Project Staff" to disambiguate it's intent.
