Hi,

I have edited article Functional programming in C#[^] and when I have tried to save another draft version page break with the following message:

Quote:
Something bad happened

We're not sure what, but we have a few guesses.
Problem: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Ticket: 5325790
Server: Web01

Now this article is no accessible anymore and it is not in my list of articles. I hope that it is not lost.

Hi Elina,

I think that section was just C#. I have created it week ago and I have always added a little bits until yesterday. I hope that you can find it using the id 375166 in the link http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/375166/Functional-programming-in-Csharp[^]

Thanks,
Jovan

Hi Jovan,

You can find your article here: Functional programming in C#[^]

It should be in a good standing now.

I've experienced a problem with the tags that appear immediately below the title, author's name and date.

The problem is that these tags no longer link back to an updated search - using the clicked tag as a filter.

I have experienced this behaviour with both with very recent articles 5 May 2012 and extending back to some articles in 2006.

As an example: If I goto this[^] article and click the COM tag, all I get is a browser with "/tags/COM" in the address bar and the usual "Oops! Google Chrome could not find tags
Did you mean tags.com" kind of message.

Having a closer look with the "Inspect Element" option of Chrome, I see that the html that represents the link is

<a rel="tag" href="//Tags/COM">COM</a>

It seems that an extra slash has been added to the head of the link -
If the link is rewritten with just one slash at the start rather than 2, the tag works again.

<a rel="tag" href="/Tags/COM">COM</a>

Yes - I was hoping to have a release out yesterday to fix this but the next release is a major one and needs more testing. I'm going to finish up testing today and tomorrow and get the release done tomorrow afternoon to get this sorted.

It's a big release that completely revamps the way we handle new versions of article's your editing that will not appear any different apart from a single extra line in a notification message.

Software dev is so weird: to be so happy to complete a big job that no one will ever notice has been completed (though those who were seeing errors or repeated versions will be happy)

I doubt you guys tested in Opera, but the Facebook/Google+ popups just get to the OpenAuth page and display only the title. I had to switch to Chrome to link the accounts.

Opera. Ah, Opera.

Here's how to get it to work in opera

• press Ctrl-F12 to open the Preferences dialog,
• and select Advanced on the top tabs
• and Security on the left navigation menu.
• Then click ‘Trusted Websites…’

This will bring up the Trusted Websites dialog.

• Select the ‘Secure Internal Hosts’ tab
• Add ‘www.codeproject.com’
• Add ‘www.rootadmin.com’

Click ‘Close’ and then ‘OK’.

Now Facebook and Google can redirect back to our site when they are finished authorizing the user.

Not a bug, as such.

Just added a comment to a Q&A solution. Refreshed the page and it didn't appear so I did it again and then the first one appeared. I deleted the second one (which was still there after a refresh) Not a big deal, I suppose but I still got a rep point for each comment. Will the second point (quite rightly) be removed or is this a 'feature'?

Problems with permalinks.

When you delete items the rep points are adjusted.

View Thread Option

Occasionally when searching a forum, the search list will contain very old posts that can not be loaded. You end up on an empty forum page with a message indicating a heavy load and the page can not be loaded. Would it be possible to include in the search list, a View Thread link, that would then load just the complete thread. The user would still have to manually find the correct post. Just something that struck me today with some searches I was doing. Thanks.

I am unable to get any permalinks in the lounge at the moment.

If I open The Lounge the address bar in my browser updates to reflect this but from there on it doesn't change to reflect clicking a thread or a message within a thread.

Win 7 x64
Firefox 12.0 (not the beta branch)

I just tried in this forum and got the same result.

It's probably my browser. If not it'll be me, it usually is. Sigh | :sigh:

Not sure what you mean "I am unable to get any permalinks"

There is an actual "permalink" link in the footer of each message. The (clickable) subject of each message is itself a link, but clicking it doesn't cause a page refresh (and hence an address bar update) because we simply open the (already downloaded) message instead of doing a full page refresh. However, if you have Javascript disabled then you'' note that clicking on the subjects does cause a page refresh (and hence an address bar update).

So: for a permalink you can click the Permalink link at the footer of each message or you can right lick on each subject and choose "copy link address".

I was using the permalink link at the bottom of the message. This used to put a permalink address in the address bar, it no longer does so.

I will check the javascript settings even though I have not changed them and, as I say, it used to work with no problems.

The right-click tip is useful, thanks.

[Edit]
I have just noticed that immediately after I posted this message the permalink link was highlighted as already visited, that was without my having done anything other than click the 'Post Message' button

Any chance you could right click, do a "view source" and email me the content of the page you're viewing (chris@...). It sounds extremely weird.

First off, sorry if this is a repost.

Now, to the bug.

It seems that whenever I clear my search filter, after a short amount of time it gets reset.

Is this some kind of bug or am I missing something completely obvious?

public class SysAdmin : Employee
{

     public override void DoWork(IWorkItem workItem)
     {
          if (workItem.User.Type == UserType.NoLearn){
             throw new NoIWillNotFixYourComputerException(new Luser(workItem.User));
          }else{
               base.DoWork(workItem);
          }
     }

}

Site wide. I set a filter in my profile some time ago, and if I delete it, it will soon reappear.

public class SysAdmin : Employee
{

     public override void DoWork(IWorkItem workItem)
     {
          if (workItem.User.Type == UserType.NoLearn){
             throw new NoIWillNotFixYourComputerException(new Luser(workItem.User));
          }else{
               base.DoWork(workItem);
          }
     }

}

I'm not seeing any filter set in your profile, but it does look like you've selected "VB developer" on the homepage. Is "VB" the filter you keep seeing?
