I'm getting notifications, but I'll ask Vince to see if he's seeing anything weird with the mail servers.

When I logged into my email account this morning, all the notifications I was expecting had come in, but with times on them that showed when I expected them to come in yesterday.
I'm using a web-based email provider. I checked my spam folder and I tried Ctrl+F5 several times yesterday, but I wasn't seeing emails from code project between about 3 pm and when I went home at 5:50pm. I was receiving emails from other addresses during that time.

Vince pushed through some emails that had been in the queue since yesterday. Looks like your mail provider wasn't accepting our email for a few hours.
Glad it's all sorted.

I'm having a strange problem which only started today.
The lounge (but not Q&A) seems to lock up for a minute or so, seemingly at random, and once froze Chrome completely.
I haven't had this with any other sites, so I'm wondering if it is the HTML5 implementation in Chrome, or some other problem.
If I can turn off the hint (or HTML5 output) then I can see if it is that that causes it - it's the only significant change I have noticed so far.
Chrome 12.0.742.112 XP SP3 if it matters.

Can you Ctrl+F5? I've updated the script, plus we've updated our ad scripts - either of these may help.
If the problem persists then I'll turn it off for you just so you can debug.

CTRL-F5 done, I'll keep an eye on it today and see what happens. Let you know either way. Cheers!

CTRL F5 has not improved the situation. The lounge just froze completely on a reload, except when I moved the mouse over the extreme top of the screen the menu components appeared, with their drop downs.
I am trying a disable of my extensions (Flash Block, Adblock Plus) - see if that helps.

That was going to be my next question: are you using any ad blockers.
Any change since you switched them off?

Doesn't seem to have crashed since, but it does feel slow at times, and there is a weird video effect when Chrome does not have the focus (I hadn't noticed this with the blockers activated).
If I have Chrome open to the lounge, and switch to Outlook so the bottom right corner of the browser is covered, then as the mouse moves over the lounge posts you get a quick flash of dark blue (similar to the selection color) over the post area. Disconcerting and quite unpleasant.
I'll keep running without ad & flash blockers for a while and see what happens.
None of this appears to affect the Q&A list or a Q&A question - just the forums.

You're getting a flash from Chrome that covers the Outlook post area?
Something wicked your way comes.

All I can think is you have a video card driver issue that is causing Chrome some acid. The trace you sent me, though, seems to suggest that Chrome is getting caught in a loop where it thinks the distance between messages is forever shrinking.
ARE you sure you don't want to just pack up your box and send it to me?

Can you send me one of the servers in exchange? A working one?

Update - it just locked.
I switched to Chrome from an outlook message response email, and it locked solid.
A quick checked showed Chrome using 25% of CPU resources, Idle 75%, but not confined to a single core - it looked to be spread over them.

I'm refactoring the code now in order to make it simple to turn it off just for you, but in the meantime can you do me a favour?
In Chrome, load up the lounge and stay away from any messages. Go to the 'Customise and control' icon (top right, looks like spanner/wrench) and choose Tools -> Developer Tools -> Timeline.
Hit record (circle at bottom left on status bar) and then hover over a few posts. You should see a series of orange and purple dots and dashes. Orange are events, purple are paint/style.
The important thing is that after you mouse over, you should see a few events happen and then stop. The mouse over, the moving of the canvas (layout and style) and the drawing of the lines (paint - one vertical, one horizontal) repeated a few times for the fade-in effect.
And then nothing. If you don't move your mouse nothing further should happen.
If you're not seeing this then maybe grab a screen shot of the timeline and I can help work out what's locking things up. Email is chris at codeproject.com.

Exactly as you describe: events and paints happen then stop when I stop moving the mouse. I'll try and keep it running and see if it captures what happens when it locks - but that will probably have to wait until tomorrow, now.

This question:
severe failover problem[^]
Both the person asking[^] the question and the person answering[^]the question joined on 29 June. It looks to me like an attempt to adevrtise a product. Also, each person has performed just that one action. Mighty suspicious if you ask me.
