Hello Mike,
And yes, indeed, that we're using the same C++ and C# for writing Android and iOS mobile apps with one very little difference that to develop those mobile apps we're also using the specific IDEs, frameworks and libraries, other than for Windows/Linux desktop apps development.
Obviously that, those C++ and C# categories provide generalization that includes Android and iOS apps projects as well.
In my opinion, another reason why there's no such category is that basically there's a very small number of articles about mobile apps development.
Also, I have noticed that for the recent time, the number of articles taking a part in monthly contest became smaller due to insufficient publications. I wish that the number of good and useful articles contributed to CodeProject, in the future, would become larger.
Finally, if you would like to propose a mobile monthly contest articles category, just ask Chris or someone else in the CodeProject team, so they would think about it and probably create a separate category for mobiles.
Thanks for reading my post.

I've restored them (just a matter of editing the question or an answer).
The issue was caused due to our Redis cache server. Over the last week it's been extremely unstable resulting in a number of outages, the latest being about an hour ago for 10 mins. We've been working night and day for the past few days to try and get to the bottom of it and so this weekend we'll simple build a fresh one and start fresh. Hopefully that will sort things out.
It's very odd though: a server (well, a VM) that's literally sat there for about 4 years ticking along and suddenly it goes all poltergeist on us.
cheers

Excellent, thanks for that. Hope you didn't lose too much of your weekend shouting "The power of CHRIS compels you!" at it.

Just an FYI - A large number of messages have disappeared from the GIT forum as well (and this restoration hasn't brought them back into existence).

To one that's next to impossible to read:
Could we have "Black on Light Orange" or similar instead, please?

What's going on, all these "improvements" seem to be making this site less and less user friendly?
|
|

What? You mean you don't like having to check every single forum, because the "new message" indicators haven't worked for the last two weeks?

Well it kills a bit of time ...
Actually they do work occasionally, if you're lucky. The problem is that the moment you click one the time cookie gets updated so nothing is new any more.

I am also having the same issue. Due to the change in color the "OK" button is not visible

Absolutely. Apologies for that.

I'm using latest Firefox 60.0.2 (64-bit) and keep getting this message after failing to reach a CP webpage:
Quote: www.codeproject.com uses security technology that is outdated and vulnerable to attack. An attacker could easily reveal information which you thought to be safe. The website administrator will need to fix the server first before you can visit the site.
Error code: NS_ERROR_NET_INADEQUATE_SECURITY
Usually after another try I succeed. I have researched Firefox but this does not seem to be responsible for the issue.

I'm on the same version of Firefox and can't replicate the issue. If it keeps happening please let me know, and please also let me know which server if possible.

It has not been happening for the last day or so. The server name is not visible when this happens.

The next time this happens could you export the site certificate to file? Also, it sounds like the TLS handshake is being negotiated down to 0x0301 or below which is somewhat unusual.

That's unusual and interesting.

When I type in solution box or the subject in the discussion, the sample output cannot parse/identify it..... Please look into it... By the way it gave me a good laugh.... LOL

Can you explain a little more on what's happening and what you expect to happen?

Maybe half a dozen times this morning - about 2 1/2 hours or so?
Had one where I was in the messages moderation queue, pressed "No way Jose" and got told "forbidden" because I'd been signed out while the button press was happening (message vanished anyway).

We've had an issue with caching that's caused the database to be a little overloaded. I've released an update that should help with that. On a related note our Redis server itself has been having a hard time these last couple of days but unguent has been applied and we're hoping that will sort it out.
cheers

Just an update on this:
We released an update yesterday that should dramatically reduce the likelihood of this happening again, though our caching server issues have been a bit of a random factor in all of this. This weekend that bit will be replaced.
Please let me know if you experience this again. Just so I can properly shake my fists at the sky and scream.
