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?

Marked as "In Progress".

This is an issue caused by a poor choose of route 13 years ago. How time flies!

For members' lists of messages we use https://www.codeproject.com/Messages/user-name/. For messages we use https://www.codeproject.com/Messages/<message-id>/slug. The message that was linked to had no ASCII slug so its permalink was generated with no slug, meaning the system interpreted the URL as a member message list. However, since "user-name" wasn't a valid username the system then just sent you to the generic "all messages" list page.

So: we fix the permalink generator and it all works again. Talk about a latent bug...

cheers

And an article that is still in the moderation queue after 11 approvals and seemingly having been published, though it claims to have entered the queue only 18 minutes ago:

VRCalc++ Object Oriented Scripting Language :: Vincent Radio {Adrix.NT}[^]

Edit: Never mind. Looking at all of the article's revisions, it appears that the author can't stop toying with it.

One of my articles got nuked over the weekend

Slang and the CodeDOM Go! Kit: A C# Based Subset for Code Analysis and Code Generation[^]

I'd really appreciated it if someone could either get it back for me, or delete it out of my articles list and off the front page.

Another weird observation...

- On my company PC I have access to your article.
- Now I'm at home and on my Laptop I have _no_ access to the article.
- But when connecting by RDP to my company PC I still can access the article

Then again...
- At home using Edge and do not login to CP I see the article also on my Laptop

Confused | :confused:

[edit again]
Cleared Browser History/Cache
Logged in again on CP from Laptop ate home -> See the article now also on Laptop.
---> Cacheing data is mostly evil Big Grin | :-D

We have had some database issues over the weekend, which have been mitigated. As a result, you may have gotten a 404 when requesting your article. As someone below pointed out, the browser may cache the 404 response, so it may be necessary to clear the your browser cache.

I can see you article fine, and will be having a read later.

Thanks for all the great articles.

I have a similar issue to this person: https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/392656/Missing-images-from-my-tip-tricks-published-today

I am not smart enough to figure this out by myself so please figure this out for me. In short images are visible during edit and preview but are not visible after publish.

All my images hase a src like this in the markup:
src="swagger.JPG"

But when published they are getting stored using totally different URLs, like for example the markup above for the image swagger.jpg ends up like this (not working):
https://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/5278879/Working/swagger.JPG

But an image further down (src="visual_studio_solution_view.JPG") in the article ends up like this (working):
https://www.codeproject.com/KB/Articles/5278879/Working/visual_studio_solution_view.JPG

Why is it that the first image ending up under /aspnet/ and the second image ending up under /Articles/?

Please someone enlight me in regards to what I am doing wrong. If this is not a bug then I think something needs to be seriously wrong with the UX design of the platform, or I need some brain surgery myself.

Two things

Ad blockers tend to interfere with them displaying for some reason

And something I've noticed is the first time I publish an article the images don't show up for me. If I go to edit the article again and then simply repost it they seem to work. That's what I've been doing.

In my case this does not help. I have published the article like 10 times and recreated it from scratch once. But, thanks for replying, I pushed it once again this morning just to make sure and the issue is still the same.

Anyone else with a suggestion?

I think this is most likely a technical issue and I hope someone that has encountered this before, and fixed it, can reply to me.
