Er... is it just me? The Insider News items for 6th November (for which I have received email alerts) don't appear in the actual forum. The last day for new threads on the web forum are 5th November.
If I click a "To reply, click here." (for example, the link to https://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5760742/RIP-Windows-10-Control-Panel-Microsoft-is-killing) in an email then I get a "-- No messages could be retrieved (timeout) --" error on the forum.
Database problem or just me?

Haven't you seen the young bob saying...
"Don't try to open the web, instead just realize the truth... there is no web"
(or something like that)
It would kind of fit... wouldn't it?

There is no web, it's all SGML.
HTML was just a bad dream...

Possibly a database timeout, but at the time you posted this things were quiet.
All good now, but not sure why you were seeing that issue yesterday.
The insider posts: checking that too. Thanks for the report.

My netsec alarms lit up like a christmas tree when I came to the site this evening. Looks like it is caused by your lastest CCS:
/*! CSS Used from: http://localhost/App_Themes/CodeProject/Css/Main.css?dt=2.8.20201105.1 ; media=all */
...
background:transparent url('http://localhost/images/dot8.png'
...
.selected{background:transparent url("http://localhost/images/right-selected.gif")
...
.main-content{margin:auto;max-width:1056px}.site-header{backgroundimage:url('http://localhost/App_Themes/CodeProject/Img/logo135-bg.gif')
...
.locked{background:transparent url('http://localhost/images/lock16.png')
...
margin-bottom:1em;background:url("http://localhost/images/quote.gif")
...
It occured on Web04 2.8.20201106.2

Fixed. Sorry about that. We switched to a new system to generate above-the-fold CSS and guess what? It worked really well in debug and in all our tests on our local machines.

I'm guessing you wanted the Spam and Abuse forum?
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment
"Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends. Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst

It was a hint, Pete has been here a lot longer than I, he can post stuff where he wishes.

It strikes me that the articles listed under "DevOps" are (a) not very current, and (b) hardly relevant to the heading.
Software rusts. Simon Stephenson, ca 1994. So does this signature. me, 2012

DevOps is a methodology and is therefore misplaced on the front page.

Both issues are being worked on. We'll add this as a extra vote on getting this done faster.

This guy[^] is a couple of hours old, but already has 601 points.
The most strange is 50 in "author", all "posted" his counters for posted things are in 0 and the moderation queue is empty.
Is that correct?

It is correct. Actually I guess this should get the new advertiser icon. Let me change that.

But, for me, it still looks somehow a bit weird, such a username for an sponsor.

Cool
This will help us a lot in the S&A forum. (see my first comment in this answer)
Thanks
P.S. Just for curiosity... how came the 50 points to "author" without any post?

These are typically accounts for authors of Product Showcase articles. They themselves are not sponsors but should have the same protections as sponsors. Even though they will never post anything themselves.

OK... but you didn't explain where the 50 points "Author" came without any kind of post activity yet

That's a good answer I can understand and answers what I wanted to know. Thanks
