My pleasure. You know how much I love this site.

A year or so ago I created and used a second account (Luc 648011) and stopped using my regular one, to avoid some mail avalanches caused by some Insiders/Beta testers group members adding messages to the corresponding forums all the time, and each and every message being notified to all group members, making life hell. After a week or so, some fixes, and my resigning from one of those groups, the unwanted mails stopped and I reverted to my regular account. BTW: both accounts probably shared the same e-mail address.
The weird thing from then till now was whenever I visited a beta.cp.com page, it was showing "Luc 648011" as a user, and every visit to www.CP.com showed "Luc Pattyn", without me logging in or out at all. And I wasn't able to fix that. IIRC the "Save settings" for 648011 refused any change. I never reported this, as it seemed irrelevant.
The weird thing now is, out of the blue, it switched to "Luc 648011" all by itself; so the most recent message I created (this one[^] in Lounge) now is owned by an account I haven't used/touched for months. Logging out and logging back in as "Luc Pattyn" has put things straight, and now even beta.CP.com pages retain my account name.
All this using a single computer, no virtual stuff, no spirits, and nothing illegal.
Mind you, I'm not complaining, just not understanding what the heck just happened, and why now.
PS: I'm a bit anxious I've gotten early symptoms of Grausitis.

FWIW: the double-edit-after-5-minutes-invades-sig bug is still alive.

It's still on the bug list, too.

Previously I was storing cookies without setting a domain name, meaning that cookies on beta.codeproject.com were treated differently than cookies on www.codeproject.com. I changed this and added the "codeproject.com" domain to cookies, meaning that cookies are now shared among all servers in the codeproject.com domain.
However, older, domainless cookies, still had to be honoure so there's been a period of weirdness and cookie confusion. I've tried to ensure that old cookies are removed, once identified, but things slip through and sometimes the cookies you ask for, or set, don't always work (or get set) as one would hope. I also still have "if an older cookie is found, then..." type code in the system and will phase this out. The only side effect of this will be that those who haven't visited in many, many months may need to log back in manually, and those who have settings that rely on cookies may need to re-set those settings.
As to why it happened for you today: no idea. Your browser seems to have finally given up that cookies I've been asking for for 6 weeks.

Thanks Chris. I'm at peace with it.
It would be nice if FF3.0 would show creation and modification datetimes for cookies. That way I could manually remove the ones older than a given date.

article approval seems not to yield rep points, not to the author (unless he is getting his author points only then, I don't know), and not to the approver. is this by design or by oversight?
|

Bug, not oversight. I'm hoping to get this, and a few other rep issues, sorted out this week.

"Message information was missing"
This appeared as I tried to 5 vote a posting.
It has happened a few times.
After a while I can vote, so there appears to be a intermittent problem.

Nah. The euphemism of the day is a caching effect.

Looking over the error logs over the weekend it looks like some database maintanence caused some timeouts. We're currently experimenting with different backup methods and your timing, I must say, was terrible. Shame on you.

This member[^] is making stupid racist remarks.
I downvoted his remark and then I thought: Better vote to remove it as well.
But lo and behold: Once you have voted (even if you vote 1), the "Vote to remove" link disappears. Surely that must be a mistake?

Not only that, but the ability to change your vote disappears... until you refresh the page, at which point you may change your vote. I tested with your message by voting it a 3. When I refreshed the page, I was able to vote again. I think this is more a UI design choice than a clear example of a bug (unless the behavior your observed is different than what I described). Would be nice, though, if a page refresh wasn't required.

|
|
|
Let's test: Try changing your 3 vote to a 5...
|
|
|
|
|
I changed it to a 4.

Allowing re-voting without a page refresh is on our TODO.

When I vote 5 on a message in the Lounge and refresh the page, it turns red (depending on the noise tolerance and other existing votes). Would be nice if it changed color without me refreshing the page.

When I look at the browser title (i.e., the title displayed in the browser window title bar) for this tip/trick, I see "[Solved]" prefixed to the rest of the title. Probably another case of treating a tip/trick like a quick answer question.

Good spot! I've been revisiting some of this over the weekend looking at Post/Send using SynchronizationContext instead (gets rid of the need for the InvokeRequired check by the way - more testing and digging into the source to see what happens needed) and have been to that page many times but never spotted that!
