Whenever I get to a Lounge page like 2169 (Through the link in This Post), if I click on one of the other links near it (e.g. page 2168), I will automatically be redirected to Lounge page 1.

Some weird redirect bug?

At the time of posting, the server was Web04.

Public Sub GetOffTheComputer()
Throw New NotImplementedException()

It's a safety valve to protect against database load.

There's no shame in having an absolutely massive amount of data. We can rework the code (we're half way there) to optimise deep-dives into the tables, but it's not a priority for us. Way too many other important things to provide you lot.

Remember that forum messages come back threaded, and sorting several million rows gets a little tiring.

You have my approval to drop everything else you are working on to focus exclusively on this.

Maybe you could conserve some of the database reserves by temporarily redirecting all articles to the homepage?

Well, I have saved him from having to add the ability to create tables in the editor. He can divert that time to this.

Thanks mate. I've been having trouble prioritising lately. Do I put in an Elephant Filter for Michael Martin, check again with the port authorities to see if they have spotted JSOP, rework everything for our Opera users or continue working on my "Four Seasons" set of new emoticons? You have a knack of cutting through to the core issues.

With mobile and tablet devices becoming popular, I also think you need to increase the priority of the mobile website. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

CP is one of the few top-dev sites that is imposisble to browse on mobile devices. The corporate guy in you may not see it that way, but surely the geek in you would!

Re: Are Linux related topics welcome in Codeproject?

I must be doing something wrong because I browse CodeProject with my iPhone every single day.

But - as I've said a zillion times before - I will be revamping the mobile version. Until we can break the 24hrs in a day limit, patience will have to reign supreme.

I am unable to use the on-line submission anymore

I have been always using the on-line submission and I never encountered any problem. But recently I try to submit an article related to WCF Rest service, but I encountered the following problem.

I had no problem to create the article, but after I updated the content and submit the change, I get the following error:

There was a problem creating your article.
The filename did not contain valid characters

I repeated it a couple of time and shortened my article path, but it is still the same. I did not upload any file yet. I have tried this on Chrome, Firefox, and IE.

Any help is appreciated ... Thanks

We've tested with our accounts and your own account and we cannot replicate the issue. We'll keep trying, but please let me know if you see any change.

Hi Chris,

I have tried to update it again, and I did not have any problem. If I see any problems in the future, I will let you know.

Thanks for the help ...

Yes but with border. Also share the step after you achieve it

Create it using standard HTML, so you would do it like this:

This is inside	a td element
This is inside	another td element

This looks like this in code:

HTML

<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <td>This is inside</td><td>a td element</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>This is inside</td><td>another td element</td>
  </tr>
</table>
