Clicked on the Database link in left bar, and got this page:

            <b> Description: </b>An application error occurred on the
server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent
the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for
security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on
the local server machine.
            <br><br>

            <b>Details:</b> To enable the details of this specific error
 message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a
&lt;customErrors&gt; tag within a "web.config" configuration file
located in the root directory of the current web application. This
&lt;customErrors&gt; tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to
"Off".<br><br>

            <b>Notes:</b> The current error page you are seeing can be
replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect"
attribute of the application's &lt;customErrors&gt; configuration tag to
 point to a custom error page URL.<br><br>

            <table bgcolor="#ffffcc" width="100%">

[If you want the attached files stuff, I've got that too - did a FF "save page as"]

Here are some for you: Blush | :O

Where's the insider gone?

We *just* did a site update. You probably hit just as it was halfway between here and there.

it's gone outside, as spring is in the air.

You can still find it under "Features".

I see "Daily Insider" (email subscribe page), not "The Insider" (forum).

Suggestion for Chris: have the Daily Insider page link to The Insider forum.

It's gone for me at the moment.

Maybe you saw it going back and forth because they removed it (for whatever reason) and you are seeing a cached version on occassion.

Unique Message ID in Reputation List

AspDotNetDev15-Mar-12 9:47

15-Mar-12 9:47

Message ID
When I post several messages in a thread, it is impossible to tell which of those messages got an upvote in my reputation list (just shows the message title). If a message ID were also shown in the reputation list, I wouldn't have to click all of them to know they are the same message.

Short Message ID
Even better would be if this message ID started from 0 for each thread (that way, I'm not comparing 12340845 to 12340945... I'm comparing 5 to 25). If you already have an ID for each message in your database (and if those ID's are generated in an identity column), this could easily be accomplished by subtracting the thread starting message ID from the message ID. Not perfect, but workable most of the time.

Message Time
Alternatively, you could show the time the message itself was posted (in addition to the time of the reputation event). Example: "13:30:23" (1:30PM and 23 seconds). That gives me an equally good point of reference (perhaps even better than the short message ID).

Mouse Hover Not Workable
Currently, I could just mouse over the message URL to see an ID, but then I can't compare two easily (that's a lot of numbers to remember).

Articles needing approval

This is a big reworking of the rep system because of the way we store and retrieve this data.

I'm going to have to say "not this month" on this one.

It seems that articles that have been deleted are getting stuck in the "Articles needing approval" window. One good case-in-point, the Utilites for Java article that was deleleted about 4 days ago has been showing up ever since.

Uhm,

I submitted a tip/trick yesterday (about 20 hours ago) and it's still nowhere to be seen. Haven't recieved an confirmation/status/etc. Am thinking that I must have done something wrong; like NOT reviewing before I posted.

There are a few of these "new method" posts here so, imho, there's evidence of continuous/contiguous conditioned stimulus aversion on the part of some computer automaton

What's the title (or URL) of the tip you submitted? I've looked at your article list and I see 3 tips, 2 of which are deleted.
