Email address confirmation problem

Hi.

I'm trying to confirm my email address since two days. The confirmation email is sent to my address but when I click on confirm url: www.codeproject.com/script_/Membership/ConfirmEmail.aspx?tg=number[^]
where number is the confirmation number, I always get an information 'Controller or Action Not Found'

There's an underline after "script" that shouldn't be there.

Can you please forward me (chris at codeproject.com) the confirmation email you received?

cheers

Display-Bug on deleted Profile

Well. Thx very much.
I have 7 confirmation emails and neither of those worked for me. I checked also a moment ago, but still getting funny 'try to realise the truth: There is no page' Smile | :)

It is hard to believe that same URL can work differently from both locations, cause location should have nothing to do with it... Anyway my email is now confirmed.
Thx again

After I deleted my account[^] today, my profile states that my account had been deleted because I would've been abusive or a troll - which is not the case, just a single member apparently reported me for whatever random reason a few days ago, unrelated to my voluntary deletion of my profile.

I would like to know that authors I've left comments on their articles or members I've had discussions with in the forums will not have to assume that I've been kicked for being abusive or a troll when clicking on my user name. So I would kindly ask for a fix for that. Merci! Smile | :)

May I ask you if your decision was motivated by something that happened on this site?
Please forgive me if you find my question intrusive ; you obviously don't have to justify your choice. You are a valuable member of this community, IMHO (I mostly base this assumption on the answers you provided in QA), and your leaving just arouse my curiosity.

Wish you every success in your future, anyway.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Thank you, much appreciated Smile | :)

Your other question: clicky[^]

Article viewcount went the wrong way, again

23-Mar-15 14:00

I've fixed it by removing that vote, and I'm going to change it so that it's harder for this to happen again.

For your information:
This is the contents of the mail I sent to Code Project's Sean Ewington and his answer:

Hello Sean,

Just for your information, as I have no screenshots to prove it again*, but the PVS.AVPlayer article's views went down by approximately 1.500 views.
That's more than twice the amount of views since you posted the last update for the article! :'(

* sometime ago (1-2 years) the views went down with approx. 18.000

Greetings, Peter

Hey Peter,

Could you please make a comment about this on the site bugs forum? You will need one of the devs to fix it for you, like what happened here:

Fixed.

We've been working with reducing the SQL load due to logging and a few articles got there PageView counts mangled, your included.

We've attempted to correct these, but the number we calculated might be a little low on some.

I recalculated yours from the logging database directly, which doesn't work for very old articles. Yours was young enough.

I need some help with my blog again Sigh | :sigh:

I wrote a new blog yesterday, and after that installed a plugin for code formatting. The plugin messed up my article pretty good, so I deleted it and that fixed my blog. Now the thing is CodeProject got my messed up version of the article. It was still in moderation queue, so I thought it would be best to delete it and have the fixed version pulled to CodeProject. That was yesterday evening and it still hasn't been pulled. Is it getting pulled once and am I out of luck? Can I trigger CP to pull my blog somewhere? Thanks.

There is a trigger. I pulled it. It said no new content Frown | :(

I don't think it does repeat pulls of posts. What about posting it as an article?

Thanks,

And then could you make it show up as a blog post again? It's really a bit short for an article and I want it to be clear that it's a blog.

Sadly no, I can't create a blog entry out of an article. It has to start that way.

Ok, I abused my old blog. Created it there and pulled it to CP. Will edit the blog manually so it looks as if it comes from my new blog. This was supposed to be my first blog that wasn't pulled from that site though Laugh | :laugh:

At least I know not to pull this trick again...
Thanks!

Putting in a 'Force Re-pull' action would likely be a good idea, don't you agree @Chris-Maunder?

Inconsistency between pages of deleted members

24-Mar-15 14:02

Doesn't make sense to update an article with the same content.

I'll dig in.

When you go to the View.aspx page of a member with a closed account, you see the notice that it has been closed, and who closed it. But when you go to the /Members/... page of the same member, you don't get that notice, you just see the message that CP is unable to find the requested member.

Can the /Members/... page please show this notice too?
