Two issues actually:
1. It does not work for new posts either.
2. Although I unchecked the checkbox in "my settings", it keeps showing up as checked.
|

|
|
Then I reackon we've got ourselves a real, live, kickin' and screamin' bug.
Yeehah.

Better check twice, it could be a real, live, and dumb user. I am sometimes a bit slow at understanding how things work. 
I would like to have the notification disabled, so that I do not get them at work. But I gave out my workplace mail so that I can read the Insider every day (and you probably understood that I cannot check private mail at work, which would be the easiest solution). So I need the checkbox unchecked.

The checkbox became unchecked on my account this morning. Was the original bug to blame, or your attempts to fix it?

My attempts to fix things are usually far more destructive than that.
I touched nothing.

When logging in today, the checkbox was checked again, although I unchecked it yesterday. So there is definitely an issue here.

I just got this on a page load:
Error: Transaction (Process ID 221) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.. Ticket:

Unusual. We're very aggressive with ensuring tables aren't locked but I guess you had one of those 1-in-a-million events (which would actually happen a little more than once a day on CP  )

I had 3 of those messages a couple of minutes ago.

Just looked into it and it looks like it was caused by a maintanence database snapshot being produced.

The MOST POPULAR article Asynchronous Method Invocation[^] seems to be having troubles with some of the apostrophes showing as �

I've noticed that on several articles and thought it was my browser.
Question: did you fix it globally, or only for that article?
|
|
|
|
|
Just that article

I too get this quite frequently.
Therefore if there is an identifiable cause, any chance of a global fix?

Sean's found the problem and I'll put in place a filter to trap it in the future.

I know Chris has said that there will be a filter for this - in the meantime, here's[^] another one (sorry Sean!).

I received a notice about this[^] post despite it being made in response to a post by Dalek Dave.
Never mind, the author delete/reposted it between my getting the email and visiting the page.

Is there a reason that all posts have disappeared from the Soap Box 1.0 group? I would restart it with an "Ahhhh clean sheets!" post, but worry that I might interrupt some special maintenance activity. Did someone in the group post something particularly egregious, or is the current limbo state an accident?
|
|
|
|
|
It was my fault and it was an accident - instead of loading the posts it loaded a button that said 'Create your Blog!' and I accidentally pressed it while playing Minesweeper. It then said that it had done it successfully and then all the posts were gone... 
|
|
|
|
|
So you really weren't kidding with your Lounge post. In any case that sounds like a bug for several reasons - I would have expected it would require a group manager to initially create the blog, and wouldn't have expected creation of the blog to be available once there was one (aren't the posts themselves the "blog"?), or at least that it not remove all current posts without requiring confirmation...
Don't[^] push the red button

|

|

No, I was being serious, it was all my stupid fault. It really does seem like a bug, but I don't know why it only does it sometimes - does it ever show that button for you?
