What can I make out of this tweet on the cp feed, without a link (to LINQ)?

Sorry about that - a known bug we're fixing today.

Could there be a quick check when someone creates a new thread to see if they have already posted the exact same thing before.
eg. This[^] first and then this[^] just a few minutes later.
(Bad example as they are not exactly the same, but you get the picture)
Give or take a couple of z's.
Also could there be a link at the top of the Java forum redirecting people with Javascript questions to the Web Development forum.

If they are identical there is a check in place. I've seen it occasionally when I hit a time out.

See subject.
I have been studiously ignoring the first post for some time, not that I could have answered them anyway.

There never was a sticky on that forum.

Gosh I am observant aren't I?
I just suddenly noticed the lack and assumed there was a malfunction.

there is. it is stickylessness. Actually double stickylessness (how to ask, and how to answer). Exists in many forums. Which I have reported earlier to little avail.

Snap.
Maybe a subtle difference in how stickies appear, not just the icon but possibly a different background to make them more noticeable.

Thanks Henry. We traced and it closed down the offending member's account.

I started a new session a minute ago by clicking on the lounge link (from an old C# forum page) and got the custom error page (I didn't note the ticket number). I hit the back button and tried again, reaching the lounge but having all new posts marked read.

We had an error in the code that was causing logons to fail. This would have caused a new session to be created.
This is the problem with session based 'new messages since...' tracking. If you have any ideas on how to make this more robust yet still seamless then I'd love to hear your thoughts.

There seems to be problems with html tags in messages. Sometimes, when you cut/paste, not all of the pointy brackets get converted. Sometimes, the markup for the message itself (like the code tag) is converted to the ampersand markup and it borks up what you intended to show.

Is there an example you can send me that consistently shows the problem?

Is it possible to vote 1 without leaving explanation again? At least that happened to my latest article[^] (also it seems someone randomly voted messages in the article forum).
In fact, I don't think this requirement of leaving a message for votes 1 and 2 makes much sense anyway (3 becomes new 1), just want to make sure whether it was lifted or someone is gaming the system.

Perhaps whoever voted it 1 also renamed the subject line.

Yeah, 3 is indeed the new 1. But 3 is way better than 1
And I've also observed what I believe to be anonymous fresh accounts people create to vote a 1 because they don't want to risk a retaliation vote by using their regular CP profile to cast the vote.

I don't think so - the vote wasn't there last night and there are no new messages since then.

I am not surprised at all.

Interesting. Not sure what could have happened then.

Yes, it's possible to do. I brought this up months ago.

I remember that. And once more we're not going to tell you how to do it

When I try to reply, I get this :
Items that need attention:<br />
<br />
•Unable to load forum
Then when I try again, I get this :
Items that need attention:<br />
<br />
•There was an error attempting to insert your message.
Then when I refresh, the message is there. Kinda weird. Maybe it was just a temporary glitch.

Nishant,
The same problem was with both ASP.NET and C# forum.

•There was an error attempting to insert your message.
But Now its looks Good

Yeah works fine for me too. Chris's self-modifying and self-correcting quasi-intelligent Maunder-library seems to have resolved the issue without disturbing the humans
