The solution to the question appears vertical after I submit a solution to it? Is it only happening to me I dont know but after refreshing the page it goes back to normal. I am using Firefox 5.0.

I can't be bothered looking, but this was reported here a few days ago. Several of us have experienced it, but as you discovered, a refresh fixes it.

Hey Peter,
Yes you are right. It is already been reported but seems like no action was taken
|
|
|
|

Same error. Unfortunately I simply haven't had a chance to fix it. My apologies.

I've updated the CSS to fix this issue so a Ctrl+F5 will fix it for you. Once I do a full release the file's version number will be updated and a Ctrl+F5 won't be needed (hopefully tomorrow)

I noticed in the search results it still shows the 1st line of the message in the search result for messages that have been automatically removed.
Should these not be excluded from the results set?
e.g. the spammer mentioned in the post below is pushing a site which i shall not mention, but if you put that site in the search and search messages, they still show up despite being automatically removed, and the content of the message is visible in the results, but click on the result and it shows the message automatically removed.
I rambled a bit there, but i'm sure you get my drift

Added to the bug list.

I'm mentioning the below one
Message Automatically Removed
In our forums, sometimes we are seeing these kind of threads mostly Spams(rarely incomplete questions), It will be better hide those kind of messages(Instead of showing) if there are no replies.
Example Messages found in 1st page of below forums(You can find more on previous pages)
Message Automatically Removed[^] - .NET Framework forum
Message Automatically Removed[^] - ASP.NET forum
Message Automatically Removed[^] - JavaScript forum
Another one
Please remove these messages[^] by yesterday spammer[^], it's really annoying to see those messages everywhere.

I'll add this to the TODO, but surprisingly this isn't straight forward.
To do this you need to know whether a message has children and that can be done in three ways: we calculate on the fly, or we join with a table that has the number of messages in each thread, or we store the number of children in the row for each message itself (a denormalised value). The first method is slowest, the last method the fastest, the middle method is the neatest (to me), but still too slow.
A further issue is that we'd probably need to add this new denormalised column to the main index, and would also need to update this denormalised column each time a message is added/deleted. This slows down message posting.
None of this is a huge issue, and the extra load is a small, most likely unnoticeable incremental slowdown, but with a system as finely tuned as the forums I'll need to set aside a good solid chunk of time to test and experiment.

do you actually need to store hte number of children? I'd htink you'd only need to do a children exist count when the message is deleted to see if it can be made to disappear completely. If so, could you instead just add a bool column to the message table that is true for messages that are deleted and which should be hidden, and then do the children exist check in the background when a message is deleted and update the column after the check.

You're right: we don't need to store the actual child count, and I'll admit I was thinking about a few other features I would like to add that do require the child count. However, a flag "IncludeInListings" vs a child count boils down to the same thing.
Regardless: I've added it to the TODO list.

Have you been through the Who's Who and search memberid for 'loans'
They are still active despite the post below this morning, 6 pages worth......

That lot went quickly.
I believe the loans should be called Pink Pounds

Pink loans can be found here[^], I drive past them every morning. Tomorrow I shall be getting even closer.

Wow. You scare me.
However, I'm going to pass this on to Terry. Should I point and laugh, or use my serious face?

The former.
It was memorable mostly because I was being threatened with an html5 project at the time and despise K&R style.

I find the storm into the office, point and say in a really convincing angry tone, 'You!'.........wait for the look of panic to show, then start laughing.

Not sure about this one but looks like one:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=5187843[^]
Reason for doubt: he seems to only post messages in respond to articles / questions that actually have something to do with the products on the site. But they aren't free so and he is the CEO of the company offering the products (see here[^] ) so...

I'd say no. He's linking [a lot] to his company's web site but has been active on CP.
