Strange issue!
In Sapi5.Function1 there was a C# pre tag right before the parenthesis. So when you submitted your solution the "magic" stuff found the need to close another pre tag. Once I removed this opening pre tag, which was inside an already open pre tag, everything went back to normal. If you now edit your solution you'll find the closing pre tag no longer at the end of your question.
Cheers!

I could sworn I looked for an errant opening pre tag, but okay. Thanks for fixing it.

IMO these should be optional once one has earned enough editing expertise.

I posted a simple answer to this question[^] and (as you can see) it posted twice. Not sure how, all I did was click "submit" and I must have pressed that a few times...
Anyway, I think they are independant (since it appears I got two +10s for the answer) but I thought I'd leave it for you as I'm not sure they won't both vanish if I delete one or the other!

Weird. I've deleted one, the other is safe (they aren't linked)

In addition to that, the link to "William L. Bain" found in the by-line has no redirection.

This crash is not a problem. Why I can't even recall this morning what search term I was using to cause the hapablap yesterday.
So; but in answer to the question: ALL (no scream-down intended) add-ons disabled, pop-up blocker off, upon restart IE8 and click-on result of CP search on "William L. Bain" (single item), results in new message -> red-roundel-slash on the "gear" of manage add-ons icon in status but with an added message "this page requesting an add-on"(sp).
Find that enabling javascript add-on makes this message retire. But the crash still occurs.
Oh, and the link you provided for "William L. Bain" and his reputation does in fact work w/o crash.
My installation of VS2010 can be fired up in response to JIT debug on the modal fail and it'll load symbols and give me a break/continue in an error of "access violation".
Thanks though.

That's frustrating and I wish I knew the answer, but my guess is you have something on your system that's causing IE to get scared and confused.
Sorry

When an object is deleted e.g. a draft article etc. and you have posted a message there, you get the Post Undo in the rep history and the post rep points removed.....
1) However, you don't get told which object the relationship is with. Now you obviously can't put a link to the object now, because it has been deleted, but can you at least put the former title with out a link, to give us an idea what has gone.......
2) Now, on the rep points, why should they be deleted, you have made the contribution to the site, which may have ultimately resulted in for example the author removing the item or whatever, but you are then being penalised for your effort. The points should remain.
I could understand your points being with withdrawn if it was your own object and it was reported by others etc. but not those providing the feedback.

I'm going to look into this and see if there's any technical barrier to doing this.
Originally it was done so that if a member posted a zillion crap articles just to boost their score, then removing the articles removed their ill-gotten* gains. It also allows a member who has had their article savaged to remove the article and restore their dignity, as well as allowing them to disassociate themselves from a joint article if the article is poor and they no longer support it.
You have a perfectly valid point though: if you are doing unto others then you should keep the points, regardless of whether the other keeps his.

See this for the third page of a search I was trying in this forum. It showed 3 pages of results, but when I clicked on the "3", I got "Your search did not match any documents". Pages 1 and 2 showed results fine.

When I do a search for those terms only a single page comes up. Manually adding a page number will get it confused since you're going past the bounds it understands.
Technically the error message is correct. There are no results for those keywords <i>outside the set of actual results in the index</i>.

I didn't modify the query string. I clicked the "3". FYI, my "page size" is set to 10 (I just noticed in the top right of the page that this can be changed).
Note that it seems new posts have been made, so the third page now appears to work fine.

I was only getting 1 page of results when doing the search - it may have been that an index update was occurring when I was checking.
I wonder if it was an off-by-one error... I'll need to add this to The List

An inquierer in the Q&A posted this code
<iframe runat="server" name="framecontent2" id="framecontent2" width="100%" url="http://bobj.test.bnymellon.net" height="485" scrolling="auto" style="border:0px;background-color:#ffffff;"></iframe>
var prevent_bust = 0
window.onbeforeunload = function() { prevent_bust++ }
setInterval(function() {
if (prevent_bust > 0) {
prevent_bust -= 2
window.top.location = 'myobjects.aspx'
}
}, 1)
Below is the code block notice the javascript has been cut of at if (prevent_bust >
<pre lang="javascript"><iframe runat="server" name="framecontent2" id="framecontent2" width="100%" url="http://bobj.test.bnymellon.net" height="485" scrolling="auto" style="border:0px;background-color:#ffffff;"></iframe>
var prevent_bust = 0
window.onbeforeunload = function() { prevent_bust++ }
setInterval(function() {
if (prevent_bust > 0) {
prevent_bust -= 2
window.top.location = 'myobjects.aspx'
// replace your iframe with link to it
}
}, 1)</pre>
I realize that specifying javascript as the code block language might be incorrect, nevertheless the javascript should not be cut like that.

Setting it as "HTML" and including the script directive gives you:
<iframe runat="server" name="framecontent2" id="framecontent2" width="100%" url="http://bobj.test.bnymellon.net" height="485" scrolling="auto" style="border:0px;background-color:#ffffff;"></iframe>
<script language="javascript">
var prevent_bust = 0
window.onbeforeunload = function() { prevent_bust++ }
setInterval(function() {
if (prevent_bust > 0) {
prevent_bust -= 2
window.top.location = 'myobjects.aspx'
}
}, 1)
</script>
but yes, I can see the weird cutoff issue if you don't specify HTML as the language and don't have the <script language="javascript"> bloxk set.
I'll add it to the bug list.

This is not a rant, or a complaint !
One thing I notice is the degree (in both forums like C#, and the various Q/A forums), to which questions are asked, posed, and intelligent comments are made, in response, or comments are made, asking for clarification, or asking for a code example.
And then, those responses/comments are often totally ignored.
I also notice frequently, that in spite of requests by commentators that the OP use tags, and identify, at a minimum, which .NET technology they are using, those are often ignored.
A hypothesis I pretty strongly embrace at this point in time is that the QA forums have become something of a homework dumping ground.
I find myself wondering if there could/should be some kind of entry-processing for Q/A questions (let's leave forums like C# and Windows Forms out of this for now), where the user at least had to select a certain minimum set of tags in order even to have their question posted.
Similarly, posts to the Q/A forums that involves a large dump of code (also, I notice, questions that the OP ends up ignoring comments) ... could/should such large code dumps be prevented ?
Let me phrase this rhetorically: would it contribute to the overall value of the Q/A forums to have some kind of screening process for admission of questions so that very vague questions, "gimme" questions, or large code-dumps followed by 'fixme,' etc. simply don't get posted ?
Another rhetorical: if a Q/A question has comments requesting clarification, and the OP does not respond within some period of time (a week ? a month ?) do they "deserve" to remain "alive" ?
Another way I could say this would be to ask: what is the responsibility of the asker of the question to CP ... when comments and responses are forthcoming. Is response, or vote, "owed" ?
And, that's enough of the rhetorical for now
best, Bill
p.s. my applause to folks like JSOP, Abhisek, Simon, Prerak, SAK, Mehdi, Mika, OriginalGriff, and others who really work hard editing, clarifying, and answering so many questions with great patience as well as technical expertise !
