I'll post it as a bug. Thanks!
Tested against latest code and cannot replicate.

Each webserver has its own caching so what you are seeing is the effect of having some servers be slightly behind the other servers in terms of having the latest info.
We try and strike a balance between server load and up to the second accuracy.

I think you need to strike one of the servers a 2nd time.

I'm willing to accept a few minutes difference, but the first message listed in the box is from 24 November

I honestly think something is wrong.

0) Every once in a while, when I click "Next" in a forum, I get a page with no messages.
1) The "Latest Best Picks" pane on the home page changes pretty much every time it's refreshed.
2) The site seems to be really slow again. Sometimes it takes a LONG time for it to return from posting a message, or to go from screen-to-screen in the article submission wizard.

Sounds like DB timeout, but I've also been seeing 4 of our older servers having load issues (well, not actually load, more of a performance issue while not even under load). I've tweaked things a little.
Cache issue resolved

Just open any article from "Articles Needing Approval" section. Click on Author name in header section.
e.g:
My First Article
By : Author Name.
Click on "Author Name", It is redirecting to a blank page.
while same is working in the footer section means, from About Author part.
Please check !!!
cheers,
Abhijit

Yes, you are right. It is a bug 
It is related to the fact, that the author has just one article,
which is not publicly available.
(The link at the bootm leads to profile page, and this is why it is working).
We will be fixing the bug soon.
Thanks for reporting
Sincerely,
Elina
Life is great!!!
Enjoy every moment of it!

Hey! How about a forum for C and Assembly language programming?
Yeah, there are other sites with such forums but i like CP 
I get mail; therefore I am. - Dilbert

<very minor nitpick>
When you are in the Coding Horrors and Subtle Bugs forums, the highlight of "current forum" is missing from the forum list in the left column. There may be more, I didn't check them all.

I have subscribed the news letters, and received one today.
There is some job information in it, but when I explored the page, I saw "This job is not available in your area. Sorry!", and this made me very unhappy!
First, any public information should NOT be unavailable for anyone, it's unfair and even evil to treat individuals in different ways!
Second, you let me see the link, but you did NOT let me see the content, you wasted my time and made me very unhappy!
I am angry about this, you must regret and explain to the public, and do something to remedy it!

When a business has a job opening very often they are looking for potential employees in their area only. Our site, and hence our job board are global, yet many software businesses are local, so we offer businesses the option of having their ads to be shown only locally.
All too often we have had a business offer a job opening with specific wording that only local applicants need apply yet they have recieved floods of applications from all over the world from candidates unwilling or unable to relocate. This is frustrating to the employers.

Your reason sounds like right, but what you are doing is badly wrong.
The business does not want to be disturbed, but we, the community, are terribly disturbed. There must be many persons that encountered the same thing, do you think we are too stupid to think about the place and probability to work there?
If the content is not for us, you should not send the link to us. You send the link to us, and we click it, but we get nothing, only time wasted, are you cheating for the pvs?
You are even not willing to give a word "sorry"!

I make no comment on your ability to understand what employers are asking for, but what we were seeing was hundreds of inappropriate applications from candidates. It was for this reason that we introduced this option for employers.
As to sending the links to items that are not avaiable that is a problem so I apologise. I'll work on getting this fixed.

Speak for yourself, I'm not even remotely disturbed by this and since you're the only one complaining, please avoid using words WE and COMMUNITY.

I agree with you, but it's more likely that it's plain-stupid-bug then conspiracy to make more profit.

I also ran across this and was annoyed by it, especially as I am specifically will ing to relocate (let me out of here Aaaahhhh). However I also found that by going to the job board you can access the information.
Having read this thread I can understand the businesses irritation with floods of enquiries and Chris's need to address the issue, obviously filtering on the news letter is required.
Your later comment on "do you think we are too stupid" is not realistic, Chris had to implement this because of the flood of STUPID enquiries the clients were getting.
Have you looked into the forums lately, the repeated idiotic questions and the cross posting is rampant. Idiotic is a generous description.
If you had approval rights on the articles you would find 60%+ of all articles are complete rubish and never make it to publishing.
So if you have been offended by this cencoring - tough, get over it, the clients are paying for a service, we of the community are NOT paying customers and none other than yourself seems to be worried about the inconvenience.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Is there a reason why The Code Project doesn't use GZIP to compress it's web pages?
I was using Fiddler and noticed that the average size for a CP message board page was 100k and wasn't compressed at all. With compression I think it would be around 16k since it's mostly text. There are also a bunch of articles on here about using GZIP in IIS, which I happen to have used to enable it here at work so foreign offices don't have to wait so long to load our Intranet sites.
The only reason I ask is that it would probably speed up the pages for me (Work Internet is slow) and I'm guessing that it would also save CP on bandwidth usage.
Anyway, the site is still great, with or without GZIP

We do use GZIP. It's a bit weird though since some GZip check utilities say we do, some say we don't. Yahoo's YSlow and Port80 both report correctly that our content comes down the pipe zipped.

Thanks for the quick response!
Upon further investigation (Calling IT and Fiddling at home), our proxy server at work decodes all GZIP and Deflate compressed files before serving them to the rest of the network.
I guess I'll just have to deal with slow work internet for now...
