Ah, the real Christian has returned. 
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I posted an article yesterday. It went thru the edit process and was posted. All was fine*
URL is: ExpTreeLib Version 3 - Explorer-like Navigation and Operation for your Forms[^]
I noticed a typo in the artcle and sent email to Submit@CodeProject.com. I received a reply that it had been fixed & updated.
Several hours later,I checked via the Recent Articles page. At that point I received a 404 error (which quickly and automatically shifted me to someone who wanted to sell me a DomainName).
I have tried several other methods of looking at the article. All behaved as above.
Help!
*actually the first time I tried to look at the article I had the same problem as described above, but that cleared up in a few minutes.

More Info:
When I search for "exptreelib" (no quotes), I find the article and several Forum messages. Link to the article broken as described in my first message. Links to the Forum messages seem to work just fine and link to the updated article.

I had similar problem yestoday. But today it was a little different for me, see the message below

Even more info:
All above problems were experienced on my main system in IE9.
Chrome on same system seems to work just fine.
IE9 on a Virtual system (same host as original problem) works just fine.
Clearing cache & history on original IE9, original system - makes no difference.
Should I worry? Why am I getting redirect to Domain.com?
In most cases I see the same url failing. The message references have a longer url, of course, to id the message -- these work as expected. In at least one case I saw a url ref on CodeProject which had only .../Articles/422497.aspx. It didn't work either - redirect to Domain.com.
PS: How does one actually paste a url into a message without having it transformed into a reference? Treat as plain text does not do it for me.

Can you try clearing your IE cache: Internet options -> Delete Browsing history
We had an issue where the database was down while the site was starting (cart before horse) and so the site's settings were set as default - in this case the site thought it was www.domain.com and kept trying to redirect requests back to itself. Except it isn't domain.com. I rearranged cart and horse (so to speak) and everything flipped back to normal within a minute, but during that time, if you'd visited the site with IE, you were trapped in this awful IE browsing cache hell.
Clear your history and IE forgets it like a bad dream.

It took a little longer than a minute, but all seems to be OK now.

Then it could be my browser's setting is preventing me from downloading, but I can download from other sites. Strange ...

I monitored the network trafic and found that the download request is redirected to
http://10.0.1.214/..../www.codeproject.com/[package uri]
which then redirected further to a logon page
http://10.0.1.214/script/Membership/LogOn.aspx?download=true
and the connection is rejected (aborted)
I am already logged in. There must be something not right on the site at least for some users ...

It's likely either a DNS error, or your computer is infected.
It could be other things, these are just suggestions.
EDIT: Reverse DNS lookups don't find anything for that IP. Maybe you should check your network settings.

I do agree. 10.*.*.* are for private IP local addresses. How do I get redirected to it is still beyond me, looks like someone is recording something. May it is an error in ISP settings or virus ...

Now just need the @<username> for mentions in a post and you would be rocking!

A little tricky since we allow HTML and whitespace in usernames.
Maybe if we allowed optional quotes, so something like @"Chris Maunder".
I'm just thinking how best to implement this. Implementing is pretty easy, but the load scares me. As well: how often would it actually be used? Would you often post a message and say @Whats'isName?

I was thinking, you hit @ and a little popup appears with an autocomplete ajax call back to the server to start listing the user names. When you see the user name you want you would click this and it would encode the username onto the message similiar to the "quote".
If you hit esc or just keep type and ignore the popup, then it would go away when no username hits were found and it would not encode anything onto the message.
That is pretty much how FB have implemented it and works well.

Yes, but FB searches for your friends only which is not 9,099,308 members.
CP would have to start allowing members to add friends and this may get competitive and snarly.

That really is a defeatest approach. Thinking of why you can't do something, rather than how you can do something.
I have a few others who work for me like that........
Anyway, in memory cache, forward only index, would zip through several million in no time.*
*if done correctly for which I do not know how to do. Maybe ask in Q&A

I'd probably go layered caches: each layer (say, 3) based on member noise level. DD, for instance, would be in the top tier cache so that people could quickly annoy him by shouting out to him. If a cache lookup in one tier failed then it would drop to the next, and from there to a larger tier. Auto-complete is an aid, and not the only way to do it, so if it failed it would still allow you to manually enter a name or ID.

Not defeatist, just don't think it should be done this way for abuser's sake. The problem with cache is that too often we have to clear it to get something working. Persoanlly, I also wouldn't want everyone to be able to tag me willy nilly.

Yeah, I read it that way too when I typed it, but left it in for the chuckle effect.

Speaking of, I am not really sure how to search for content posted by specific authors who have complicated usernames. It's easy enough to search for "whatever author:AspDotNetDev", but how would I do that for authors with crazy names? Can I search based on their member ID? Or based on a part of their member name?
There are a few approaches you could take to make that easier, but thought I'd mention that it's a potential problem.
