Hi Abhijit,

I don't have a clue of what he actually said (the message is removed now by public moderation, which is a good thing). Instead, you could have hit the "Report Message" button and moved on, and his offensive post would have been tossed off the boards. But instead, people kept replying and this kept the worthless argument going on for a week. Can you spot whose mistake is this?

I have, from my experience, learned that ignoring such people (and reporting abusive if required) is the best way to go about it. Eventually, they will get lost along with their posts.

Please let go of it. I am sure you have much better things to do.

PS: As a last resort, I mean last resort, you can send an email to Chris and I'm sure he will settle things if it's worth his intervention.

Looking through the thread it looks, the guy likes to have the final say. See he even went after Chris OMG | :OMG:

The best remedy is to let him have his final say and let it go D'Oh! | :doh:

Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]

Yes, every once in a while you see threads like this. As soon as you recognize what's going on, you should stop replying. Click on the Remove Message button if you want. Or if it's really bad, send a private email to Chris. As you have seen, replying to this person is what he wants, so just ignore him. Everyone sees what he's after.

Best wishes,
Hans

When replaying to a message, when you click the link or link[^] buttons without text selected you get an message stating to select text but the buttons below the message are all turned into real buttons.

If you want I have a screenshot saved but its constant so...

Happens on chrome and FF

I voted for this article, wondering such a nice article received just 2 votes. After my vote of 5, the page showed 3 votes. But later when I revisited the same page, it again shows 2 votes !:
Monitor your Web Services usage via .NET SOAP Extensions[^]

The bug is easy to reproduce.
1) If I vote again, it shows 3 votes
2) Go to home page and click on the article link, you will find just 2 votes again.

Probably some cache coherance problem ?

Now I got it. If you don't write a message, then the vote is not showing up. I mean, the vote shows up only if you write a message!

By the way, is this a policy decision rather than bug ?

Nope - it's a caching bug. I'm fixing it now.

Just looked at an article, and found that there was a tall and narrow advert served in the banner. Which got stretched vertically, so most of the page was bright orange.

The add pointed to:
http://www.codeproject.com/Redir.aspx?adid=9767&way=ban[^]
if that helps you hunt it down.

I imagine it's fine as a side ad, but ended up in the wrong bucket.

I've taken a screen capture if that helps at all - just let me know and I'll email it.

Is REALLY tall... Don't you guys give the advertisers image size restrictions? This thing takes up 3/4 my 1900x1050 monitor's vertical display area.

Just spotted this one myself too - leaves a HUGE orange bar at the top of the page.
