Not that anybody is using it, but it looks like questions have been removed leaving some (well, three) replies.

|

if you want to see more (well, four instead of three) change from 1 month to 3 month filter.
Anyway, it isn't quantity that matters, is it?

Few of the forums show in bold sometimes and when I went inside, I can't see any new posts happened. May be some posts happened to a thread that is not in first page. How do I see the latest replies on a forum?
It would be good if CP provided some way to see the recent activities on that forum.

When I'm editing an article to be submitted, if I click html mode, then toggle it back off, the editor doesn't work at all. The cursor won't show up, and I can't edit anything. I'm using firefox 3.0.12.

I've seen this before and all I can suggest is you upgrade to FireFox 3.5.

Is it known to be an FF 3.0.x bug, or are you just hoping it's a browser bug that's fixed in 3.5.x?

The issue has been reported by others on different sites and I was seeing the problem consistently in FF3 but not in FF 3.5.
In any case I have found a small hammer I can apply that might help kick Firefox back on track.

Mustaffa's post in meetings/get together from about 45m ago is not showing up with a last month filter, it is showing up with a last year filters. It doesn't appear to be a caching issue since I've gotten both versions to come up from the same server; and even when the message isn't showing in the forum the sidebar is indicating a new message exists.
I've reported this happening in the suggestions and bug reports forum before and you asked for any additional occurrences; but I don't feel like spelunking through a few months of posts to find the last thread I reported it on.
Edit: PS I saved both pages if you're interested in examining them.

Excellent - I will dive in now since we have a live one.
Thanks Dan. This helps a lot.

Hi Chris,
I've added a message, mine shows up in all filter settings, Mustafa's only for settings > 1 Month.
Any chance you swapped month and day numbers for some locations? that would make it June 8 for him.

Fixed.
The issue is that when we get a list of messages we have to also get an idea of the row bounds of the messages to return (eg rows 1 to 50 in a given forum, say). The procedure to calculate the row bounds is based on date and view style wasn't taking into account the sticky messages which are shown regardless of date. So, the procedure saw that there was one new message in the last month so retrieved 1 message: the sticky message.
I've made a tiny change and now it's all good.

Fix confirmed.
Normally it takes a major I don't know what and several hours for a fix to become in effect. Have you solved it by just changing a SP by any chance?

Yep - a simple stored procedure. I've leave extensive testing and performance profiling as an exercise for the reader

It's a pity someone came up with the idea of split rail fencing years ago. IF they didn't we'd never have fence post errors.

Chris, you might consider adding a couple of things to your "How to get an answer to your question" stickies:
- under no circumstance remove or empty a message; keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read.
- when a problem is solved, add "(SOLVED)" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
Some people seem to remove a question once it got answered satisfactorily, in order to "close" it.

Different forums still show different texts, e.g. Windows Forms forum.

Just an observation -
Some of the technical blogs are being commented on with things like "Fix the formatting", "Include an introduction" (and other standard article features) and other similar comments. The net result is that these entries are not being approved for general consumption, and then disappear off the list on the front page and (presumably) never get approved.
Am I correct in thinking that blogs don't have to adhere to the usual article standard, they just have to have some technical merit? If so, it might be worth updating the approval message and button text on blogs to make it clear this is a blog entry, the author was not writing an article, that CP scraped the content from a blog etc. etc. etc. which might allow more through (without discouraging those who moderate and offer the sterling advice they do). If not, I've just let through some stinkers. Whoops.
