One of them is still there: How do I write a query language parser from C#[^] - I wrote an answer minutes ago!

It was definitely deleted when I first looked, and you can see that it was updated by me. Maybe you posting the answer managed to resurrect it.

Could be. Anyway, problem solved?

You sure? I can still see it if I follow the link in my post above.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I think we're good now. More coffee...

Reason: I was looking for a particular thread in my browser history but could only see a list of "The Insider News - Codeproject" and "The Lounge - Codeproject" and the like. Being able to see the actual thread titles would have been very useful.

If you navigate through the messages in a forum, the URL and title don't update. The messages have already been loaded, and are simply shown or hidden using Javascript.
The site would have to use the history API[^] to make the URL and title update without loading a new page.

This is true only if you go to a thread listing page like this one, [^], and look through the threads listed therein.
What I mean is this: If you click on the "View the X replies to this message" or "View the reply to this message" links then a page opens showing messages in the thread you clicked on. This is where each thread has a unique URL and could imo do with having the thread title added to the HTML page title so as to be able to tell them apart in the browser history (and in the browser title bar or tab, for that matter).
For example, this thread (1) The Insider News[^] and this thread (2) The Insider News[^] both have the same page title and are indistinguishable in the browser history but are in fact distinct and different URLs and link to distinct and different threads. The primary difference in the URL is the "tid" parameter.
Clearly the server does know which thread is which at the time it generates and serves these pages (otherwise it couldn't put the relevant thread contents, and only the relevant thread contents, in the page), so won't need the history API.
To be clear, I'd like to see the page titles for the two threads above displayed as:
(1) The Insider News - Google AI executive sees a world of trillions of devices untethered from human care[^], and
(2) The Insider News - Researchers break magnetic memory speed record[^]

Nah, you just use
document.title = "This is a page title.";
We used to have it do that, but I think I removed it because it actually made it hard to work out which tab was the lounge and which was an article. Further, it needs to only change the title for dedicated forum pages, not when the forum is part of another item such as an article

I logged into Code Project for the first time in quite a while but could not today with my standard Firefox Profile. The Email and Password fields would hide just a second or so after they were displayed.
I tried a vanilla Firefox profile and it worked ok so it was either a bug in Firefox or an Extension. I disabled all extensions until I found the culprit: AdBlocker Ultimate v3.7.8. When this extension was disabled, it worked fine.
I was inspecting your html output and you are definitely doing some interesting stuff under the hood, probably for added security, and I suspect that AdBlocker thinks they are nefarious Ad based stuff.
I whitelisted codeproject.com in AdBlocker and that did the trick. I can now log in.

Using an ad blocker on the site breaks various things. Fortunately, the ads aren't very intrusive. Privacy Badger and Duck Duck Go Privacy Essentials haven't caused any problems that I can see, though.

Yesterday the site turned to shite in Firefox, being rendered like a corrupt page from very early days of the web. I cleared my cache, but no good, and other sites seemed to be working fine. I was going to post about it and wanted to include the version of Firefox that I was running. So click on the three horizontal bars at the upper right, go down to Help, select About Firefox--and get prompted to update from 82.0.1 to 82.0.2, which fixed it.

Yay firefox!

Trying to update my password on the account, however It will not process because the Display Name is taken. So I did what any respecting programmer would do, I threw GUIDs at the problem
Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N").ToUpper() I do not believe that of the dozen GUIDs I generated, someone already is using that for a display name.
Edit: Fixed C# code to be fully usable snippet.

We seem to be having some issues with the related stored procedure in the database.
I'll check it out.
