Ok, Did you see the bottom line...

That however wouldn't explain why it only happens occasionally. It isn't happening today.
And the previous time I reported it was only happening in some forums.

This happens when some of the hamsters are drunk.

Hi JSchell,

I'm using Chrome 27.0.1453.110 m.

I infer you are viewing a CP page, and have clicked on a link to render developermedia.com content within that page.

In my case, with the view set to "Thread," anytime I open an item/node/thread with child-node(s), I get a page-refresh, and bounce-back to the top of the current view. When I click on "View All Threads," again I get a refresh, and page-top bounce-back.

Like one of Skinner's pigeons, I am now trained to use the 'Home and 'End keys frequently, keeping my eyes shut for a few seconds, to avoid being "jarred" visually by the refresh.

I cannot remember clearly if at a prior time CP did not have this type of "lose your place" refresh; I think so, but, I consider it possible that the increasing sensitivity of my eyes to "blinks" might mean the behavior is the same, but, now, it registers on me as an irritant.

The fact that I now react to full-page refreshes on a variety of other sites suggests its me, or Chrome, or Win 8/64, or demons.

yours, Bill

“Human beings do not live in the objective world alone, nor alone in the world of social activity as ordinarily understood, but are very much at the mercy of the particular language which has become the medium of expression for their society. It is quite an illusion to imagine that one adjusts to reality essentially without the use of language and that language is merely an incidental means of solving specific problems of communication or reflection."

I use IE and Firefox.

So far I have only seen the behavior in IE and it is intermittent and seldom occurs.
It isn't doing it today.

After answering a question[^] in Q&A and hitting the submit button, two identical solutions show up and the reputation history lists both. So I deleted one of them.

While entering the text and submitting, nothing else noticeable happened.

Thanks for the report. This shouldn't happen. We have code at the database level that says this can't happen.

But we know from Jurassic Park what happens when you say something can't happen...

Please see this answer: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.[^].

It has two versions, as it failed to submit at first. I used two text to attempt submission; I'll refer to them as v1 and v2 (current). Naturally, I tried to submit what is now v2.

Steps:
1) I put the whole text of v2 into clipboard.
2) Under "Add your solution here", click Ctrl+V; the text from the clipboard is entered.
3) "Paste As" is shown, I click "Paste as-is", "OK".
4) The HTML text is shown as it should be.
5) Click "Post message".
6) The page with submitted answer is shown; as usually in such cases, it is not formatted to the final view: it not as wide as the normal answer; and the solution number is not yet shown.
7) Refresh the page; the newly submitted answer is not shown.
8) As it already happened before and could be fixed when repeated, I repeat it from #1, few times.
...
9) Instead of "real" answer, enter the text as of v1, repeat #1-#7
10) The short "answer" text appears and is shown correctly after refresh.
11) Click "Improve question"
12) Text edit area is shown again; I remove the text of v1, paste long text v2 again.
13) Repeat #3-#7.
14) Now the input and submission is successful; v2 replaced v1, to the text which I meant to have in the very beginning.

[EDIT #1]

What's funny, the same situation was reproduced when I tried to enter this message. This time, I did not paste the text, but simply typed it all. The bug report was not submitted successfully, as described above. Then I
1) Shortened the text to first and last paragraphs (the last is "—SA");
2) Submitted it, successfully;
3) Pressed "Edit"
4) Added text from clipboard, to get the original full text again.
5) Submitted again. Now the text was submitted successfully.

So far, it looks like the systems rejects longer input, but once the post is submitted and gets into the database, I can edit it to a longer text and successfully submit. I never face such behavior before. Before, I rarely saw something similar I attributed to temporary network failure; the post was successful on second attempt, with the same text.

[EDIT #2]

I found that the previous version of this message, before I added [EDIT #1] above, was actually posted (I just removed the double post). I wasn't see it after the first page reload, and I think it really did not appear.

I just added an answer of a bit bigger volume than that referenced above, this time, it worked out correctly. On possible difference: I did it on another computer, having faster Internet connection…

In both cases: Mozilla SeeMonkey v.2.17.11, Windows 7 64-bit (x86-64).

If our system thinks your post is too big it pops up a warning, but doesn't actually reject the text.

Hmmm. That's an odd one.

Yes, kinda. Of course, there was no warning displayed, otherwise I would mention it.

Thank you, Chris.

I see you added the new "Best Database article" category, but I see two issues:
- It looks like you have added two identical surveys (1462 and 1463).
- It is not available through the main page.

Also, there are no articles from the new category in the "Best overall article of May 2013", but I can see why it might be too late to do anything about that.

Hi there,
I changed my email address in my settings and I stopped receiving the emails from CodeProject.

Could you please check?

Thanks...

Check your email. There should be a message asking you to confirm you own your new email address.

I get a "page not found" on ask.aspx from Web04 (but none so far from Web01) when trying to link to it from the QA menu. Web01 seems to hit the right page every time.

Page Not Found

I have given feedback to the autor, but in Using an Access, MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite database from VBA[^] there are some code snippets without format.

If the autor doesn't edit it, would you mind to do it?

Thank you in advance

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 helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

To all:

You site is a joy to use. This site, and the people that monitor it, have been a tremendous aid to me.
The ability to mark/format code and quotes is easy to use.

Thank you to the people that maintain the site. Thank you to those that post and help people like me.

Thanks for your time
If you work with telemetry, please check this bulletin board: http://www.bkelly.ws/irig_106/

I would join the compliment. Despite of few problems which I can presently see, it's already much better than all other sites with similar functionality I knew so far, and it is being improved on a regular basic.

I just changed my login email address and when I went to RootAdmin, I was still logged in with the old address. I tried to change the address there too, but it said it was already in use. I logged out and tried to log in with the new address, but it looks like it now wants to create a new account on RA.

Can you please help me out so I can keep my existing RootAdmin account?

Works fine for me using Chrome.

Use the best guess

Now it is fine in IE also.
