Could be an ad-blocker getting in the way?

I don't run adblocker of any type explicity. Could be new functionality in FireFox since they are blocking auto-play videos. Also, I do see the CP ads at the top, bottom, etc just as I normally do.

Thanks for the idea though.

I just learned that I do not get that Google Connect error page if I sign in from CP home page.
However, I do get it if I sign in from an article page.

Here's the URL that shows up in the page when it fails. (Hopefully there is nothing in there that will expose any of my info.)

However, I still don't see the Add to Bookmarks link. Am I just looking in the wrong place in the article?

Also, when I attempt to do Google sign-in on IE I also see an error. Maybe it's a firewall thing??

Looks like the missing bookmark option is a bug:

I'm not able to recreate this issue. However, Google did have some issues last week, and that may have caused the problem.
Could you try again and let me know if you are still having problems?

Thank you,

Daily news mailing - is it still active?

I tried it a few times with no problems.
Seems like login is working fine now. I saw some odd behavior related to Google login last week too so that probably was the issue there. Thanks for your help.

It's been a few days since I last received the CP daily news newsletter email. I have made sure my subscription is still active, and saw no issues with spam filters on my email account. Yet, no luck so far...

The newsletter is definitely active! I've checked your account and all is good our end. Have you added us to your whitelist? ~~Have you checked spam folders?~~ (just re-read and saw you'd checked these).

Not sure what to suggest here given there's a lot of variables at play when sending and receiving emails. Anything from being blocked at an organisation level, to spam blockers nuking instead of moving to spam folders, to the network gnomes just not playing fair.

cheers

Thanks. It seems I needed to grant permission once again.

Editing a question - subject length

Editing a question to provide translation from Spanish, I tried to save it but it complained that the (unedited) title needed to be between 20 and 200 characters. It was 18.
I thought of just adding an ellipsis "..." at the end, but tried two spaces - and it was accepted without problems.

I suspect Trim needs to be called earlier. Big Grin | :-D

Well that's gonna confuse some people:

string title = tbTitle.Text.earlier();

Which can then be defeated by putting two spaces somewhere in the middle. Smile | :)

Number of message upvotes not showing up

We are looking into this one.

Message title still lights up in green, but the message itself no longer shows the number of upvotes.

Could you tell me where you observed this? In a Forum, Q&A, ...

I think you mean Forums and am looking into it.

"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."

Thomas Daniels17-Jun-19 6:31

Yes, forums. Though at the moment, I cannot reproduce it anymore, votes are showing fine.

It should be working now. A small bug that broke a number of UI features.

Slashes in QA questions get displayed as dots on QA questions list

17-Jun-19 22:19

Thanks! Though I just noticed something else (perhaps related?): in QA, the stars don't show up on my own answer.

Re: Slashes in QA questions get displayed as dots on QA questions list

8-Jun-19 7:03

When a QA question has a slash in its title, the questions list[^] displays it as a dot rather than a slash for some reason. (When visiting the question itself, everything is fine.)

Example - C# using tablelayoutpanel spanning w/o adding new rows/columns?[^] shows as "C# using tablelayoutpanel spanning w.o adding new rows.columns?" on the questions list.

Can't approve item in message moderation queue

Finally got to this one. A simple cut and paste error.

This message:

Is not spam, but it doesn't matter if I hit accept here:

Or here:

It just stays in the queue.
If you go to the forum the message is there:

But appears to have it's text replaced with a url back to the article:

I suspect that the author edited the message just as you were trying to accept it, or at least after the last time the cache was refreshed.
The updated message wasn't Spammy, but the moderation cache still had the old message.
However, I will take a look in case there is a silly undocumented feature (bug) floating around.
