Thanks for the report. We're working on revamping the submission wizard as we speak.

One of the servers had a bad case of ASP.NET indigestion.
We use WebForms (yeah, old school) and one of the issues is that web controls and pages get compiled in an order that can sometimes get things mixed up. A page can suddenly become convinced that a webcontrol simply doesn't exist because that control may have been compiled as part of a different page and the wiring gets screwed up.
This generally happens at deploy time, but it sorts itself out quickly (or I kick it firmly). Once it's compiled that's it - no more problems.
However, for some reason the pages completely forgot who they were wired up to and we had that error happen. No deploy, no recompile, no nothing. Just spontaneous craziness.
I'm forcing a full recompile now that will fix it.

In Q&A the "Add a Solution" button appears directly below the question, before the "Have a Question or Comment". This seems the wrong way round to me.

I wanted to make is so that those who could answer the question immediately could quickly get to where they needed to be without having to scroll through (potentially) a lot of comments to find the "I know the answer! Let me answer it!" button. Doing it this way means the button is always in the same relative place to the question.

Hmm, that seems to make a lot of sense.

Can Signature be added automatically while replying to the question or even reply on comment ?
If not then can we have this as Future Feature ?
Hope this helps ,otherwise revert back with your queries

No, not at present.
And I suspect that the answer will be "No" to having it as a future feature, for the same reason that the Smiley list is not displayed for answers or comments - they are there for forums, where things are a bit more informal, rather than Q&A where the aim is to be professional and help, rather than entertain.

I won't surprise you by telling you I resent that statement.

Were you formally telling him that?

You gotta have a dream!
Even if you do get a little depressed about the quality of teaching these days. Tch! When I were a lad, we had to debug wit' two rocks and a Mammoth hide. But you try t' tell 'em that, they won't believe you!

Nothing major but I was just looking at a the reputation graph for ryanb31[^] with a negative score for debating. Acording to the profile he has a total of 390 points but the orange line shows about 1100.

|

Yep - this is all going to be cleaned up in the next few days. I've completed an initial recalc but need to check everything twice to ensure that the rep point changes members see is fair and correct.
2 issues were found: When an event was "undone" we were, in certain situations, adding, not removing points, and secondly, some download files were mistakenly attributed to the wrong articles, leading to download points being assigned to the wrong authors.

That forum thing I've fixed. It was an interesing one, and was related to a new article posting system we're currently beta testing.
The images? That one stumped me. I've synced the file systems, twice, and checked the article, 3 times, and the imagea are all there for me.

Not sure about the images. There were about 3 of them I couldn't see at first, but moments after I posted my original post, I could see them. Maybe they were corrupt/missing on one of the file systems in your server farm?

That's what I thought, too, until I looked and they were all there.

I get the Mobile Dev newsletter (among others) by email. Because I use a simple-minded web based email client (I have a private mail server on my domain), I'm unable to read the newsletter. A link to the online version would be very welcome.
Side note: I spent 5 minutes trying to find the Mobile Dev newsletter @ CP and gave up. (The standard newsletter is easily accessible, but not the others).
Thanks,
