bad link? Andreas Saurwein24-Oct-02 11:47 Andreas Saurwein 24-Oct-02 11:47  http://www.codeproject.com/script/articles/beginners.asp The FAQ links to this page when you click on the first "Tutorials" link. But the page insists that there are no articles found. Bug or feature? I keep submitting “VB” as a Priority-1 bug, but apparently no one here knows how to fix it. Nick Hodapp, Semicolon Re: bad link? Andreas Saurwein24-Oct-02 11:51 Andreas Saurwein 24-Oct-02 11:51  Its getting better... Unexpected database error No Forums are available *New messages since 14:39 Thursday 24th October, 2002. Local time is 17:48 Thursday 24th October, 2002 why always me ???? Chris M, did I do something awful? Did I insult your mother? *snif* Maybe its just a sign from above that I am spending too much time around here... I keep submitting “VB” as a Priority-1 bug, but apparently no one here knows how to fix it. Nick Hodapp, Semicolon Re: bad link?

Chris Maunder28-Oct-02 3:51 Chris Maunder 28-Oct-02 3:51  That one is (as far as I can tell) usually the result of a timeout due to server load. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: bad link?

Chris Maunder29-Oct-02 15:55 Chris Maunder 29-Oct-02 15:55  Just imagine around 15,000 people simultaneously yelling at our servers demanding their morning fix of CodeProject. I don't know whether it's just the light but I swear the database server gives me dirty looks everytime I wander past. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: bad link?

That's great! I think I'll add that to my sig!

The current since last date/time does not work so well as its applied to all forums. After visiting one you can't really tell if there have been any new posts in a different forum which you havn't looked at. Currently, I try and remember the number of posts in each given forum and can approximately see whether there have been any new posts. Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 I have a terminal disease.

Stephane Rodriguez said so in an answer to a post. If so, I can think of all sorts of uses for this knowledge. For those who rate articles 2 or 3, a DoS or spam attack may be appropriate. A 1 rating could earn a visit from the DC sniper, or at least a retaliatory 1 rating on all of their articles. All kidding aside, authors should not be able to obtain this information. I believe secret rating is honest rating. Re: Article Ratings Chris Maunder23-Oct-02 6:26 Chris Maunder 23-Oct-02 6:26  No. Members cannot get the names of the people who have voted for their articles. However, I do record this information so I can check up on voter abuse and ensure that you can only vote for an article once. cheers, Chris Maunder Re: Article Ratings Stephane Rodriguez.23-Oct-02 20:38 Stephane Rodriguez. 23-Oct-02 20:38  I have to disagree. I see the member ID. How low can you go ? (MS rant) Re: Article Ratings Chris Maunder24-Oct-02 7:51 Chris Maunder 24-Oct-02 7:51  You see your member ID after you vote - just as a reminder that I am recording votes. If you can find a way that shows how to determine who has voted on an article then I'd be interested to see. Not even my admin scripts currently allow me to do this cheers, Chris Maunder Re: Article Ratings Stephane Rodriguez.24-Oct-02 8:05 Stephane Rodriguez. 24-Oct-02 8:05  In my article [^]posted some days ago, I happen to have answered immediately after someone posted a comment. And I saw the red message "...member 231 voted" on top of the rate bar (constructed with the ?st=... in the query string). Looks like this message only lived a few minutes (session timeout probably). As soon as I saw it, I responded the guy with a different point of view, of course... This is a nice feature. Just would be great if I could get the whole list, and no timeout on that. (which is equivalent to gain read access to one of your DB tables). How low can you go ?

I believe secret rating is honest rating. I can agree with that logic...but still...i'm gonna rate someones article the way I want...if I think it could use an improvment...i'll grade it low and say why... "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr Reply/Answer - difference? Andreas Saurwein23-Oct-02 4:57 Andreas Saurwein 23-Oct-02 4:57  An answer has been posted to your message ... A new reply has been added to your article ... Thats a new "feature" that the article author gets the same message twice only because he wrote a reply to a message to one of his articles AND he is the author. So, the first mail is because of the answer to a message and the second (equal) mail is because its related to the article. Is that really necessary? Configurable? Removable? I keep submitting “VB” as a Priority-1 bug, but apparently no one here knows how to fix it. Nick Hodapp, Semicolon Re: Reply/Answer - difference? Chris Maunder23-Oct-02 6:30 Chris Maunder 23-Oct-02 6:30  First you want something that works and now you want something that works sensibly? Sheesh! (added to the TODO) cheers, Chris Maunder Re: Reply/Answer - difference? Andreas Saurwein23-Oct-02 14:42 Andreas Saurwein 23-Oct-02 14:42  I really wouldnt want to change your TODO list with mine. You would finally have time to go through all your 9000+ mails And, no, it doesnt need to work sensibly. Just the way I like it to work is fine. I keep submitting “VB” as a Priority-1 bug, but apparently no one here knows how to fix it. Nick Hodapp, Semicolon "There was no survey specified" error message Gary Wheeler23-Oct-02 4:07 Gary Wheeler 23-Oct-02 4:07  Chris (just a heads up): I was looking at the survey (http://www.codeproject.com/script/survey/detail.asp?survey=222[^]) and clicked on 'My Settings' to change my sig. After I did so, I clicked the Save button, and got an error page (http://www.codeproject.com/script/survey/error.asp?err_txt=There+was+no+survey+specified[^]). Going to www.codeproject.com, clicking on my settings, etc. worked fine.

Thanks. cheers, Chris Maunder VIP Lounge Uwe Keim23-Oct-02 2:41 Uwe Keim 23-Oct-02 2:41  Since we have a 'Lounge', we also should have a 'VIP Lounge'. Don't know the criterias for that, but maye it helps to lower the noise in the Lounge. -- - Free Windows-based Web Content Management System: http://www.zeta-software.de/enu/producer/freeware/download.html - Scanned MSDN Mag ad with YOUR name: www.magerquark.de/misc/CodeProject.html - See me: www.magerquark.de Re: VIP Lounge Roger Allen23-Oct-02 2:49 Roger Allen 23-Oct-02 2:49  Sounds a bit counter productive, and also I wouldn't be allowed in. What about stupid and intelligent lounges? I could use the stupid one. Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 I have a terminal disease. Its called life!

Re: VIP Lounge Gary Wheeler23-Oct-02 4:08 Gary Wheeler 23-Oct-02 4:08  VIP = Very Important Parakeet? Why would we need a lounge just for parakeets? Software Zen: delete this;
