Fix confirmed.
Normally it takes a major I don't know what and several hours for a fix to become in effect. Have you solved it by just changing a SP by any chance?

It's a pity someone came up with the idea of split rail fencing years ago. IF they didn't we'd never have fence post errors.

Chris, you might consider adding a couple of things to your "How to get an answer to your question" stickies:
- under no circumstance remove or empty a message; keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read.
- when a problem is solved, add "(SOLVED)" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
Some people seem to remove a question once it got answered satisfactorily, in order to "close" it.

Different forums still show different texts, e.g. Windows Forms forum.

Just an observation -
Some of the technical blogs are being commented on with things like "Fix the formatting", "Include an introduction" (and other standard article features) and other similar comments. The net result is that these entries are not being approved for general consumption, and then disappear off the list on the front page and (presumably) never get approved.
Am I correct in thinking that blogs don't have to adhere to the usual article standard, they just have to have some technical merit? If so, it might be worth updating the approval message and button text on blogs to make it clear this is a blog entry, the author was not writing an article, that CP scraped the content from a blog etc. etc. etc. which might allow more through (without discouraging those who moderate and offer the sterling advice they do). If not, I've just let through some stinkers. Whoops.

I've taken the attitude that blogs don't have to conform - in certain cases, the formatting is a result of imperfect scraping.

Most people don't differentiate between blogs and articles. I've seen some nasty comments on blogs admonishing the author saying it was too short to be an article.

I know what you mean, and sadly it seems some of those comments come from people you might expect better of. Sad, but true.

To be published they need to adhere, but the best thing to do is alert the blog writer that their blog has been consumed (even though they will have received an email) and let them know that it needs a little tweaking for it to be an article.
Most members mark their blogs with the CodeProject tag in order to have them consumed so they will be aware their entry will appear as an article. I say "most" because some members' feeds have been marked 'consume all' because their blogs are of such high quality and free of stories of cats and babies.

Hey Chris,
Can you make it more obvious that a blog entry is not an article? Perhaps a header indicating that this is a blog entry that was pulled from [original url] on [date pulled] and perhaps a brief sentence about the entry not being an article. That'd help improve the reaction people are giving blog entries right now.

It used to be in my inbox when I arrived at work.
So I'd do a quick read of it in the morning and then read more in my break.
Now it arrives in the evening just before I leave from work, and since I'm a bit busy at home at the moment I find myself just ignoring the mail now, which is a shame since more than once there is interesting stuff in there.

Over the last two days (well, one and a half, really. It started Yesterday afternoon.) if I open a post within two or three of the bottom of the page, it opens on the next page but my view remains on the original page. So far only noticed in the Lounge and C# Forum.
If It's just me, don't worry too much, I'll learn to live with it. My system does seem to exhibit 'different' behaviour from others.
Cheers!
[Edit]
It is now happening in reverse (in C# Forum) where first message is at bottom of page and remainder at top of next page. If I open either of the top two posts of the second page, that post opens but my view reverts to the page containing the first message in the thread? I have to use the next page widget to look at the message I've opened.

Either Chris[^] is a troll or someone is being a silly bugger and trying [badly] to pass himself off.
This thing is believed to be the same troll who went by the infamous handle 'teh developer'.

"Unable to load the requested member's information." Looks more like an error message than a notice that the account was nuked.

Chris,
I know it doesn't happen often, but is it worth considering revoking the voting of nukees?
