When forum notifications from the code project arrive to my mailbox at hotmail.com, I get a nasty-looking warning from their SmartScreen:
"This message looks suspicious to our SmartScreen filters."
The warning has a pink background and a little red shield icon, hinting that the message may contain a security threat of some sort. When I click the [dismiss] button of the warning, the logo (logo225x40.gif) appears, but the warning stays.
It would be nice if you could figure out what part of the e-mail "trips" the SmartScreen, and re-arrange the auto-generated content in a different way, so that the warning does not appear.

You probably already know this but just add the address(sender) to your safe/white list. Problem solved...that's what I did and now I don't get those messages anymore.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this did not fix my problem: although "@codeproject.com" filter is on my "white list", the warning from SmartScreen still comes up.

Sorry to hear. I just checked my Hotmail account and everythings is fine. My notification of your reply did not trigger the SmartScreen super-duper interceptor radar thingy.

We'll look into it here to see if there's anything obvious (or even unobvious) we canb do our end

The voting stars are not showing properly...at least with this article: See Here[^]
When you hove over the stars the chart goes behind everything else.
I am using Windows XP SP3 w/IE 7.

That looks very similar to a problem I reported the day the new article header got launched: a random tooltip may be showing, as if the mouse was over a widget (e.g. the bookmark widget). Never had it happen on the voting bar though. Chris has looked into it already and called it a timing issue. Anyway, reloading the page seems to suffice.

Sorry, no cigar...still doesn't work.

Interesting.
I can't get it to fail (FF3.6, Chr7, IE7; all on Vista).
Try CTRL/F5!

I did...twice...no luck.

This might be the problem. Vista and Windows 7 might be working fine but XP may not. I wonder if this site is tested on XP SP3 or just Windows 7?

I doubt it.

I don't know. My guess is they use Win7+Chr7 most of the time. Not sure though.
OTOH, if it really is a timing problem, then CP staff themselves are worst positioned to solve it as they are bound to get best server response.

Looks fine to me (IE8/Windows 7).

Although the right of the article looks strange, as some of the widgest are overlapping.

When I type the correct email id and password, I log in in a jiffy, but when I make a typo, it takes noticeable amount of time before it reports an error and shows that page that it shows. Why does this happen? Is is just me?
PS: This is not quite a bug I suppose but it would be helpful if people could respond as I could learn some bit about web programming.

it is customary to include a deliberate delay before reporting a safety related attempt has failed; that makes it harder for bots to crack the system in a brute force attack. So I guess that is what is going on.

Every page I open loads almost immediately but the page indicator still shows the loading symbol.
The loading bar says: 'waiting for a.lakequincy.com'
And the advertisements don't show up.
Just thought you might want to know

Shh...don't mention the adverts!

Currently running around in a panic like in the Muppets.
(Actually it's all very calm and boring and Steve is handling this one)

Sounds like an advert solution to me.

I just glossed over the Daily News email from Code Project. At the bottom, there is a section called "Code Project Discussions - Have your say!" I think I've only ever seen this section contain links to the forums. However, it looks like this one has a link to an article "What every developer should know about bitmaps". Seems a bit peculiar, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention.

I'll pass this on.
