Bugs and Suggestions

It's something developers do almost as often as they write code (presumabky 1:1), but there's no forum to discuss it etc? Worthwhile?

Would that not fit under the Application Lifecycle forum?

Hey mike, just read your profile.

Can I suggest you stop VB.Net and get into C#, you won't regret it!

I hope to, but getting into .Net and C# at the same time gives me two simultaneous learning curves.

At least with VB I have some familiarity with one half of the challenge, syntax etc. - and quite frankly it's more human readable if you haven't worked with C type snytax that much (it's 10 years since I played with Delphi Pascal) and I struggle with getting all my curly brackets in the right place when working with PHP plus all the symbols to replace english words such as OR, AND etc.

One step at a time - it's how they got to the moon Smile | :)

I agree with Dave.

What sort of discussions are you thinking? General, or specific stuff like Git or SVN help?

Ok, if that's the right forum then I would assume that it's a topic which is of little interest to the inhabitants of CP (that's not a judgement) so a specific forum would be of no help.

I'd imagined both, general discussion - what do you use? For what? Why? Good points, bad points. I use this VCS for this type of project, is there something better for a different type of project (same for use case). And also help on specific use problems.

Maybe I should try dropping a couple of topic's into that forum and see what happens...

We all use it (or we all should!) so I'm sure there's a ton of questions regarding the topic. It's just not something that seems to come up in the forums that often.

However, the reason they don't come up is because there's no dedicated forum...

Is this included in your to-do list?

4-Jul-12 7:09

Sorry - taken me ages to get back to this thread. Have been playing with Mercurial for a website project.

So whilst I asked the question - and this would seem counter-productive to that question - I am not convinced that the existence of a specfic forum would genrate use of that forum, need generates use, so if the need was there folk would be posting those topics in some forum somewhere else on the CP site and the motiviation to create that forum would be self-evident - the onlt corollary I can think of is that folk see that there isn't an obvious forum and hence use some other site for their need, i.e. the need exists but is being satisfied by a site other than CP.

I now have a VCS question, so I'll post it in the Application Lifecycle forum and see what happens - though in the last three months there's one topic only!

Thanks,
Mike

Homepage layout question?

Is the 'The Insider' link supposed to be above the 'Lounge' link?

public class SysAdmin : Employee
{

     public override void DoWork(IWorkItem workItem)
     {
          if (workItem.User.Type == UserType.NoLearn){
             throw new NoIWillNotFixYourComputerException(new Luser(workItem.User));
          }else{
               base.DoWork(workItem);
          }
     }

}

I've been working on making it a greenish, or maybe a mottled brown.

Lounge link broken on front page

Most likely due to the site update we did. All good now?

For some reason the link for the Lounge on the front page (the one that says "The Lounge", above the most recent topics) just goes to the CP home page.

[EDIT] And now it's working again. D'Oh! | :doh:

I saw something similar on RootAdmin.

public class SysAdmin : Employee
{

     public override void DoWork(IWorkItem workItem)
     {
          if (workItem.User.Type == UserType.NoLearn){
             throw new NoIWillNotFixYourComputerException(new Luser(workItem.User));
          }else{
               base.DoWork(workItem);
          }
     }

}

I assume it was related to the rearranging of the home page, the Insider link turned to something funky for a few minutes too (still worked, just had some extra stuff at the end).

We did a major site update, and during that some links were inactive.

The download link on following article was working fine a few days back(when i checked last).

Implementing HTTPHandler and HTTPModule in ASP.NET[^]

Today it seems it is not working. it is taking me to a page that says "No ticket provided - possibly an error in the error-system" Confused | :confused:

Now I am not sure what should I do. Should I rework in the code and upload it again or this problem is due to some other reasons and might get fixed eventually.

FAQ needed for Spam and Abuse Watch.

I think there needs to be a FAQ for the Spam and Abuse Watch forum.

You can go through the posts and figure most things out, but it would be good to have directions on what to do and how to deal with the different kind of spammers/abusers.
