When (if) you grow up, you may understand the gist of curating valuable content, so appropriate forums are enriched in a way that benefit people seeking certain types of content who would never find that content in forums like the Lounge.

I tend to agree. Maybe a 'Lessons Learned' or 'War Stories' forum, or perhaps something more generic, a 'Posterity' forum?

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?

When I go to the concert home page, my article filter is set to .net, and the entire article section is blank. Btw, I’m using Firefox...

Firefox on an iPad. Not a use case we actually tested.
Which iOS version?

It used to work fine. This has been happening for a week or two.
BTW, I am the edge case your mother warned you about.

I’m posting this from Firefox on iOS 12.4 and everything’s fine so far, including the homepage.
I can’t produce your edge case problem.
I guess this is where I count my blessings?

i am loathe to update because a lot of times, there's no real need.

Is the issue happening on other tabs on the homepage, or just .NET?
I'd also strongly recommend you update your iOS version. There's some nasties out there you want to protect yourself against.

I occasionaly use the ipad to cruise the web while watching tv. The forums are the only part that don't freak out. I can't see images in articles, the menus don't let me click on sub menu items, and of course, there's the problem I originally cited. It's not a big deal, but i thought you'd want to know.
I still haven't really decided whether or not I want to update the pad to the newest OS (CP is the only site that doesn't appear to work)...

Hello!
I am not able to download any provided zip file. At least the articles
Another Take on a WPF Wizard[^]
and
Extended (Inherited) Versions of List and Combo Box Controls[^]
are effected. Both download links will end up in a redirect to the article with the following message on top of the page:
You have been redirected to the home of the file you requested to ensure you get the latest version of the file as specified by the article author - see the screenshot
Tested with Windows 10 / Firefox and IE and Windows 7 / Firefox.

Are you going to the article and clicking the download link, or are you trying to use a download manager?
cheers

I'm trying the provided download link - see

I think you got caught by an issue that was messing up the generated URLs.
It looks like Chris fixed it.

As of short while ago - the problem is still there. Tried several articles downloads-links with identical behavior. I think there is a problem with my account/machine as I have no trouble with my account on a different machine.
The problem is recent, maybe after the updated to:
OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Home
Version 10.0.18362 Build 18362
I use Edge browser:
Microsoft Edge 44.18362.329.0
Microsoft EdgeHTML 18.18362
Using Chrome I get a more specific error:
Error:
An error occurred in this page. The error has been recorded and the site administrator informed.

Doesn't look fixed to me. Every article download goes to the "downloading" page, then redirects back to the article page with the message shown in the OP's post.

...where everyone can post politically and religiously charged posts, and juts be generally snarky to anyone willing to put up with it.
Let's call it "The Soapbox", or something else that is equally descriptive.

Why not call it Twitter? That seems to be the home of most trolls and abusers.

You are right, the basic logic is OR, but its not straight forward. I will figure out some wording to explain it properly.
