Just looked into it and it looks like it was caused by a maintanence database snapshot being produced.

The MOST POPULAR article Asynchronous Method Invocation[^] seems to be having troubles with some of the apostrophes showing as �

I've noticed that on several articles and thought it was my browser.
Question: did you fix it globally, or only for that article?
|
|
|
|

Just that article

I too get this quite frequently.
Therefore if there is an identifiable cause, any chance of a global fix?

Sean's found the problem and I'll put in place a filter to trap it in the future.

I know Chris has said that there will be a filter for this - in the meantime, here's[^] another one (sorry Sean!).

I received a notice about this[^] post despite it being made in response to a post by Dalek Dave.
Never mind, the author delete/reposted it between my getting the email and visiting the page.

Is there a reason that all posts have disappeared from the Soap Box 1.0 group? I would restart it with an "Ahhhh clean sheets!" post, but worry that I might interrupt some special maintenance activity. Did someone in the group post something particularly egregious, or is the current limbo state an accident?
|
|
|
|
|
It was my fault and it was an accident - instead of loading the posts it loaded a button that said 'Create your Blog!' and I accidentally pressed it while playing Minesweeper. It then said that it had done it successfully and then all the posts were gone... 
|
|
|
|
|
So you really weren't kidding with your Lounge post. In any case that sounds like a bug for several reasons - I would have expected it would require a group manager to initially create the blog, and wouldn't have expected creation of the blog to be available once there was one (aren't the posts themselves the "blog"?), or at least that it not remove all current posts without requiring confirmation...
Don't[^] push the red button
|
|
|
|
|
No, I was being serious, it was all my stupid fault. It really does seem like a bug, but I don't know why it only does it sometimes - does it ever show that button for you?

It would be useful to at least know if it is safe to just start over...

Presumably, the site has backups. Presumably someone on staff will do something about this, soon. 'Twould be nice if they then went on to fix the bug, as well.

Hi,
My article (WCF: Duplex MSMQ[^]) doesn't appear on the front page, even though I have good rating (Latest best picks).
Is it a bug or I need to do something, or my article is not well enough ? 
Thanks for your response,
Nico,

Your article's rating is 4.52. The articles on the homepage have ratings 4.65 and above, so your article misses out by a whisker.

My rating is 5. Do you mean that it is the popularity which decide if we are on the home page ?

In a way you are lucky it did not show up there. If you show up in the top-5 list on the front page, you automatically attract 3-voters
