Hi,
How long do you plan on doing this? Everything is so... fractured. Have you considered making it so these categories are hierarchical?
In other words "C++" is the parent for everything under "C++98,C++11,C++14,C++17 ... "
and
"C#" is the parent for everything under "C#1,C#2,C#3,C#4,C#5,C#6,C#7 ..."
To make matters worse... I cannot seem to get the combo box for the "Interested" filter to produce anything but C++14 on MSEdge. Even though I see questions containing other C++ tags. Also... my Interested filter doesn't even work.
Trust me... it is unnecessarily difficult to come to your website and actually locate something to contribute to in the "Quick Answers" section... requiring multiple searches. A quick/cursory analysis tells me that the complexity is due to the fractured categories and that a hierarchical tag system would make finding information so much easier.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

We've had hierarchical tags since almost the beginning. The interesting thing is that we built a big, complex system to handle setting and searching for tags and it...was never used.
For instance: when marking an article as C#7 it also means it's to do with C#, so C# should be added as well. However, if an item is marked C#7 and isn't marked with C# as well, then a search for C# should also bring up items marked with C#7. And then, suppose you mark an item as C# - do you mean all C# versions or just some?
It became complex but we added it all and apart from the load it put on the database, it was never embraced. We gave up.
So: outline your ideal and then I can see more clearly what your pain point is and how we can solve that.
cheers

Typically if I take the time to point something like this out... I am looking at broad issues rather than any personal pain points. All of the issues seen within the 'Quick Answers' portion of your service seems to be with tags and tag-usage and I suspect it has a larger impact than you might suspect.
Case in point:
C++14 Tags[^]
I can't find anything in there that is actually C++14 related... nearly the same for many other language tags. If 80%-99% of the community is not correctly using tags... it's time to start looking at the site design surrounding this feature.
Hopefully I did not pick a bad week to point this out. I know you have a lot on your plate dealing with the new rules and regulations being placed upon codeproject.

It is easy to do yourself From here: CodeProject Member FAQ[^]
There are a few ways to do this. One way is to go your membership settings https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Modify.aspx and look under your profile picture and check the box that says, "Close my account:"

That was exactly my first thought when I read the thread. But of course I can not afford such a comment.

I accidentally reported this member.
Would it be possible to remove the reports from him?
Thanks!

Not sure if this is related to the database updates?

For last 20-30 mins I was getting below error message when I opened home page. It happened in Chrome Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit).
Error Page Error. err...
Unfortunately it seems that our error handling page has, ironically, an error. It's going to be one of those days.
Click here to return to the homepage. But it worked in firefox at that time. Not sure what's the issue.
Currently I'm able to open CP in Chrome.

I've been doing a bunch of deploys that included some messy database stuff which was causing some outages.
Please let me know if it's still affecting you. As of 20 mins ago things had settled down but you k ow how these things go

Apologies for the timeouts. Chris is "fixing" some things. The site seems mostly OK now, but I will still pray for Mr. Maunder down in the engine room.
Thanks,

I'm not signed up for any Codeproject newsletters (Nothing is checked on my Newsletters & Emails settings tab).
How do I dismiss that annoying red notification without signing?

Are you still seeing this?

First time I noticed the "notifications" was about two weeks ago.
Seems like it might be useful.
However, I now have 185 pages of unread notifications. I can clear them, but only by doing one page at a time. So "Select All" (sets flag on visible page) then "Mark Selected as Read". Then do it for next page.
Be nice to have a way to either really select all or just clear all of them.

I can't see the text at the moment, but isn't there a "Clear" or "Mark all as read" button at the bottom of the page?
EDIT: It's actually at the top of the page, and it's "Clear all".

Ah!!!
You are right. I figured that just meant the ones that had been selected.
