Tried to ask a question. Lots of typing and careful layout.
Hit Submit button and reply back is:
There was an internal error creating the item.
Oh well, I figured out the answer as I was trying to explain the problem, but still, submission did not work.
Within you lies the power for good - Use it!

It looks like we had a long running database process that was causing issues last night. I'm sorry about that.

I successfully opened an additional account using my Gmail address (because I'm still not getting any newsletters).
I was given:
Display Name: Member 16270984
User Name: User-16233274
Now I can no longer login using my password.
So I go to "Forgot your password", enter my email or name and I get a "Unable to find your information" message.
So I think maybe this account had not registered or been deleted. So I try to "Join" using my Gmail account and I get a "There is already an account using this email address" message.
So I keep going round in circles - the account apparently exists but I can't retrieve the password - and I can't use my Gmail address because it is already being used!
What to do?

I don't work here but I think both your Display Name and User Name have kicked a bucket. You should be: Member 16186463 according to "coder56" professional profile. I do see that the response to your last post about recieving the Newsletter is also indicative of something gone wrong on the bucket end. And apparently contacting support would not be advisable because they can't find the bucket. Or have found the bucket and have chosen not to respond.

Or have a lot of buckets to sort through.
Looking into it.

You have a gmail address for this account
You have a not-gmail account (Hint, it's a telco provider) for this account.
Which account stays and which goes? Which would you like me to manually reset the password (and email you the temp password)?
cheers

Thank you but Sean Ewington has already fixed it.

I do not even consider it a bug, and probably only a small group of people will have noticed it (if someone did notice it before me  )
Spam account just created with minimum amount of rep points:
Spam account with no points:
As the reputation counters are not there because the second user has no points at all, the layout of the whole profile page gets 20-25% thiner than usually.
Kind of logic behaviour for me, but I think it would be nicer if all 5 counters were visible with "0" points and the format of the page looked as usual.
I just realized that the orange rectangle enclosing the total reputation points below the profile picture is missing in the second profile too

There was a really sensible, well thought-out reason why the reps are hidden at 0 points.
I just wish I knew what it was.
I'll add this to the TODO.

What does this have to do with Codeproject.com?

What does bug on Codeproject.com have to do with Codeproject.com?
Strange question.
|
|
|
|

You posted a link to a github project and just said you couldn't download the readme file.
What does that have to do with Codeproject.com?
This forum is for bugs with the site, not github.

Read my post carefully please:
Quote: While trying to Import GitHub Project:
If you didn't know, the Codeproject.com has the ability to Import GitHub Project.

|
|

Oh, I did know. You just didn't specify that particular functionality is what you were having a problem with, nor did you mention the article you're working with.
|
|
|
|

I did specify exactly that particular functionality:
Quote: While trying to Import GitHub Project:
Be more careful next time.

Sorry but... As whole text in the original post:
Quote: Subject: This repository doesn't appear to have a Readme to import.
Body: While trying to Import GitHub Project: [Link to your Github]
Analysis on how I understand your message:
This repository --> Link to Github
doesn't (appear to) have a Read me --> The repository you are linking, hence in Github.
while trying to import --> The time scope for the action "doesn't have" is bigger than the action "while trying" (other example: He doesn't watch TV, while eating)
Sorry, but only reading your first message, it is not so difficult to understand it as Dave did. If he hadn't commented first, I would have said exactly the same.
This doesn't read for me as
"Codeproject is failing to import the readme file of my project: [Link to Github]"
or
The readme file of my Github project [Link] is not getting imported in Codeproject
These sentences are more or less the same length than your message but they are more direct and leave less room for wrong interpretations.
Extra Feedback: I interprete your answers to Dave quite arrogant. Instead of just repeating / confirming the information youu wrote, you could have directly explained with other wording in the first answer and everything would have been good.
So... YOU be more carefult next time while posting a potential bug, this way you will avoid missunderstandings and or disscusions.
Thank you

If your investigation would have stepped at least one level deeper, you would have easily found out that this is not the first time this error message appears in this forum. Here is the proof Search[^]
So, administration of the Codeproject.com is definitely aware of this exact bug, and there is no reason to pollute topic with unnecessary information. All the info that is needed (repo link) I have provided.
If you don't understand how this forum works, sorry is not my fault.
So please, be careful next time when you blame people.

Has nothing to do with the content of my message. I haven't told anything about the bug. Only about the way you have written your message and why I think the missunderstanding with Dave happened.

As if they had nothing else to do that to remember every single message they recieve here (specially when the last time is almost 1.5 year ago).
Jovibor wrote: If you don't understand how this forum works, sorry is not my fault.
I think I understand way better how this forum works than you.
Specially considering the tone of your messages. It is good that you give feedback about something not working fine, but please be clear of one thing, you have no right to demand anything.
Jovibor wrote: So please, be careful next time when you blame people.
That's something you should apply more urgently than me
The only "blame" I did was the last sentence in my previous message, and I used the very same words you used before to Dave, only that applying them to you with an advice, after having given you a neutral explanation about why your message is not concrete enough and gives room to missunderstandings.
Instead of accepting it as a constructive feedback, you continue arguing and answering in an unpleasant tone.
I am going to step back and leave it here, I have no intention of ruining my mood because of you. Have a nice weekend

Either you provide a proof where I have demanded anything, except for reporting the bug, or you are just a blatant liar.

Assuming you write code for a living or even work in IT with some troubleshooting capacity, I'm sure you understand that providing proper and complete context for the more accurate debugging experience is a major help.
Looking at your original post, you typed as little as you possibly could to vaguely convey a problem with little to no context and no steps to repro the problem.
After being here for 21 years, I cannot tell you how many times the regulars here see posts, just like yours, short on text, like you're get paid by keystrokes you save.

I'm absolutely sure you're trolling.
In the original post I have provided exactly the steps this bug appears (While trying to Import GitHub Project).
This post was not for you or your friends but for site admins, that's what this forum is for - Bug reports. It's not your personal chat room.
Instead of acknowledging your fault, you continue to spam here with absolute inability to help.

Did you though? Or did you just type "import <githyubproject>" and assume everyone would know where you started from and how you got to the failure?

Jovibor wrote: In the original post I have provided exactly the steps this bug appears (While trying to Import GitHub Project).
Yes, but as Dave says, you provided no context, so it is far from obvious why you think this is a problem for Codeproject.
