Notifications list in the wrong order

5-Dec-18 10:07

yes, just so the links "pop" more, and we can spot the spam more easily. We've been getting some where they copy a chunk of book or similar, and add semi-hidden links that are hard to see.

If I select the notifications list at the top (red box) and click "View all notifications", the list is displayed in ascending date order. So the first item is from January this year (yes I will purge the list), and the latest is on page 140.

Red Flag missing

The messages in the message board of articles / tips are missing the red flag to get reported.

all other items are there (e.g. permalink and protector delete / edit)

M.D.V.

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?

All the articles / Tips I open today. IE and FF.

When clicking in the subject of a message, it changes the URL as I would take the permalink everytime.
eg:

HTML

<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/223095/Simple-Singleton-Pattern-in-Csharp-2">Simple Singleton Pattern in C#</a>[<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/223095/Simple-Singleton-Pattern-in-Csharp-2" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]

changes to:

HTML

<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/223095/Simple-Singleton-Pattern-in-Csharp-2?msg=5333049#xx5333049xx">Simple Singleton Pattern in C#</a>[<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/223095/Simple-Singleton-Pattern-in-Csharp-2?msg=5333049#xx5333049xx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]

instead of just opening the message.

Possible influencer? I have started the browser session doing a search and opening some articles from the search results. Those articles are loaded will all messages in the board expanded.
e.g.2

EDIT:
I completely closed the browser and started over again. Without searching anything... no changes.
I miss the report flag in the message boards of the articles, but I get it in the forums.
BTW... the affected messages are missing the bookmark icon too

That one has been closed now - your spam report in S&A - so I can't check it:

But I could - and did - hit the red flag when it was still open, and I get a red flag on the message below it:

Have you tried CTRL+F5?
I'm on Chrome Version 70.0.3538.102 (Official Build) (64-bit), Win 10.
But it works fine in Execrable Edge as well:

My URL's aren't being played with either - do you have extensions or net nazis getting involved? Are you signed in on that page?

I am almost always signed in, I do it when I come straight away.
I do have net nazies involved (now at work), but nothing different as usual. And anyways... if that should be a reason, why the inconsistency and the URL-changing when clicking the message

Choosing the permalink on my previous message... I landed in the nuked message of the picture you posted. I clicked in the second message and my URL changed to:

HTML

<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/223095/Simple-Singleton-Pattern-in-Csharp-2?msg=5220202#xx5220202xx">Simple Singleton Pattern in C#</a>[<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/223095/Simple-Singleton-Pattern-in-Csharp-2?msg=5220202#xx5220202xx" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>]

I can't see the flag nor the bookmark in the second message.

CTRL+F5 --> No difference.
The browser tab is still showing "wait for codeproject.com" as title. Looks like it would not finish the load process.

Weird enough... it now works in FF again... IE still failing

You mentioned IE. Which version?

Nothing installed locally, from domain... no idea.
But yesterday (can't tell for sure) / last Friday (for sure) was working fine.

IE 11, v11.0.9600.19180 / Update 11.0.95 (KB4466536)

Found the issue: we use Array.filter which was added in ECMAScript 5.1 (ECMA-262), and hence isn't in IE. Use a modern browser and it'll be fine.

I've made a fix that I'll deploy after lunch.

MDN claims it's supported since IE9:

Re: Todays Insider: the MS item requires registration

The headline item in the Insider email today is this one: Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott talks future tech trends in AI and silicon - Business Insider[^] - which if you follow, you can't read without signing up to the site. Which is a pay-for trial!

I'm not happy with giving my credit card details to companies without finding out first what I'm going to get, so I won't be reading it ... Laugh | :laugh:

I'm not able to sign in again. Somebody other took control over my account (0x01AA)?

[Edit]
Some thoughts:
a.) It is very cool that you can register with CP very easily and immediately afterwards can participate
b.) As mentioned above one can immediately report a problem in B&S, which is very good (at least in my case now)

Whether it is good that you can create a post in the lounge or wherever is rather questionable.

One more thing: I can answer in the lounge to a post (without mail confirmation), but not in the soapbox.

I can see it: https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=11095207[^]. But fatboy had a similar problem the other day (see below).

Yes, I got this with (Munchies_Matt / fat ___ boy).
I think klicking "forgot password" would solve it but maybe it helps CP to find the reason if I don't do it right now. Let's see.

At least notifications works very well with this new account Laugh | :laugh:

Tried it, but it does not work.

Anyway, it's Weekend also for you and you should not bother about this that much.

Should I try "forgot pass" Option?

How about now? the previous update was still deploying when you tried, but it should be good now.

I've had a new password resent (but your old one will still work if you remember it)
