Thanks. It was a tricky one.

I'm trying to upvote this message: Abuse in QA - Member 14940214[^] but every time I try, I get the same message:

You must have hit the time while I was redeploying all the scripts and stored procedures to set QuotedIdenitiers on so I can use Filtered Indexes.
It seems to be working fine now.

BTW,
You should write an FAQ or Tip on how to author a good bug report. You always provide enough information for me to quickly find the problem. To many times I see "It's broke", with no indication of what It is, or what the expected or failed behaviour is.

Thanks again.

It's a good idea, but ... judging by QA who would read it? Laugh | :laugh:

We could make it sticky at the top of Bus&Suggs, and I could link to it in response to the worst of the reports.

But as you say, "... who would read it" 😒

"Report object"

The Report object[^] event is capped at 25 occurrences per day. Although 25 can be logged in a Reputation History, only 100 points are added to reputation.

Were they 25 reports on 25 unique items or were there repeated items?

cheers

Pretty sure they were 25 unique items. If you report an item twice, I think the second report is ignored.

This also happened 2 days in a row. The first day, I figured it was my mistake. The second day... Smile | :)

Weird summon link

Nelek13-Sep-20 19:28

Nelek

13-Sep-20 19:28

In this message[^] @Sandeep-Mewara summoned @Sean-Ewington but the result was a bit confusing and not consistent with what it is supposed to be.

In my messages the summoning looks

HTML

<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Members/sean-ewington">@Sean-Ewington</a>

and it ends with the full nick being a link being a link to the profile (where you usually find the summon-nickname in the upper left corner below the screen-nickname - Professional Profile).

But in the above linked message by Sandeep, the summon to Sean was done with Markup

HTML

[@Sean](https://www.codeproject.com/Members/sean-ewington)

what ended with the word "Sean" pointing to our beloved CP Editor.

but "Sean" already is used in another profile as a summon name, if I just write down "@ + Sean", I get

HTML

<a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Members/Sean">@sean</a>

When I asked Sandeep, he told:

Quote:
Copy pasted link and it converted to whatever default.

This differences can be confusing and end with users summoning wrong people just because they saw it like that in other messages.

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?

I tried again to add @Sean-Ewington to another message now and seems the url points to the profile by default (not as @XYZ even if I copy the link of @XYZ from the profile):
Sean Ewington - Professional Profile

It looks, unconsciously, I might have removed rest leaving Sean. My bad.

Apologies Nelek.

Look What I Found !

One of the, the Q&A Poster, even got back to me with his happiness. I guess it was someone else?

Somebody doesn't love me anymore.

Update 2020.09.17: Did three more Q&A and got hit three more times. Is there any record of this? I work at a financial institution - every user-accessed record is ID and timestamped; modifications are serialized - "we know who you are and we saw what you did" is sort of required. Any luck, here, for determining which darling so wants my attention?

Not nice behaviour of the voter! I wish that voters in Q/A would be shown like in articles.

I got a reply from the CodeWitch to my Weird and Wonderful post, but it’s not visible. Database quirk? Hamsters drunk?

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
