Since Moody's downgraded the banks you only get $50 and have to pass a credit check.

I am able to see it well and good: Silverlight Application with MVVM WCF and EF[^]
Try clearing your cache and see. Last month, I faced something similar. Easiest way to confirm will be to use other browser to check your article.

I recently noticed that when I followed a link from an email back to a CP message, the message as you would expect was all pale blue. However for some reason, I went to see which post this message related to within the thread and noticed that the subject is not hoverable to display the parent/child lines at the left.
Looks like the styling for a selected message kills the hoverable actions on the subject for the message.
edit: Also happen if you just click the permalink in the message actions turn it blue.
Hope that makes sense!

Can you provide a link to the message?
I've been clicking permalinks and the hover-marker-thing still works nicely.
Except if you hover over the initial post... (this is by design since it's not a child of anything)

It's stubbornly refusing to not show the connector lines for me in Chrome.
 One of those bugs...

In the chrome debugger I just dragged and dropped the <a> tag from the subject line of a message to one that was opened via a permalink, then manually edited the name attribute to the number obtained from the permalink.
and voila, link lines now appear for the permalinked blue message.
So, is it because the subject of a permalinked message does not have a <a> tag with the associated, message-link class that is breaking the permalink message links.
e.g. Typical message subject has the following markup within the <td>
<a class="message-link" name="4296545" parent="4296226" thread="4293584" href="/Messages/4296490/Re-Highlighted-message-parent-child-lines-not-acce.aspx">Re: Highlighted message parent/child lines not accessible.</a>
a permalinked message does not.

Yes, it relies on the A tag.
Which Layout do you have your forums set to?

I'd offered to work with an author to fix the formatting on this[^]. I clicked to edit it, and then saw that he'd fixed most of the formatting issues so I left it to approve it. What has been approved is the default template - if you go back to the previous version, you can see what it should have been.
Thoughts?

We've been hunting around trying to replicate this issue but to no avail.

Fair enough. It's sorted anyway, so no worries.

I have seen twice that after an article turns from pending to published all download and picture links become dead.
For example in this article[] links are not working.
please help.

Looks like files aren't being replicated between servers correctly. We're putting measures in place to fix this.

I have seen many people pasting links from Google results as solution to questions, including top experts. In some cases, without the question being precise and not enough to provide a solution.
Have a look at this question:
Retrieve Image/Photo from SQL Database[^]
You can see my comments and the point that I am trying to make.
My only point is if links are just to give direction to the QP and doesn't answer his question, why aren't they posted as a "Comment or a Suggestion". That is what's been happening in most cases including top experts.
Thats certainly not right.
Please advise. Your interest will be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for being so KIND!!

Because sometimes that is the solution. Poster says "How can I do xxx", and pasting that question into Google yields lots of suggestions. So giving the Google link as a solution is the correct thing to do.

My 2 cents:
Should it be posted as an answer or comment is irrelevant, the important thing is that it gets posted. It's the OP that decides if the answer was helpful and accepts it.
My guess is it's because it generates a bit more points.
The important thing tho is that the OP is helped, isn't that why we are here to ask questions and / or help others by answering.
As to why Google search results are posted, if the question is to general a Google search on some keywords might help the OP in his search for the correct answer.
If the question is to easy it's one way to show the OP that he should have searched Google himself first before asking here.

That is your opinion and you are welcome to it.
I think you will find that no matter what you try and enforce as the correct etiquette for posting, it will fall on deaf ears.
You have only been on CP for less than 2 months, and I think you will find that Q&A's have been around a lot longer. If it warrants it, by all means educate the poster of their wrong doing or provide an alternative approach. I will warn you though, this can quickly lead to you been downvoted not just against your post, but against everything the voter can lay their mouse on!
Sometimes it is better to just ignore it and move on....

Fortunately, I consider myself a professional and have not done so. After my initial reply to his comments, I have followed your second suggestion (except for this message I guess):
Quote: Sometimes it is better to just ignore it and move on....
Now why he has started his crusade by pointing his spear at my post is puzzling to me given the target rich environment in QA. I actually did put in the time to find different types of solutions that might help out the OP based on information given in the question.
