Maybe - it may just be a misunderstanding - if a quiet word doesn't fix it, then a more robust approach may be appropriate! 
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Yay, people power. Or it was a genuine bug.
|
|
|
|

I decided that maybe the joke was stale then "fixed it", but then hated myself for fixing it so unfixed it.
So now it's fixed.

You see, this is what I like about this site, it still has a beating soul compare to, say, other well known development fora.

I forgot my password. In the sign in page, I clicked the appropriate button, typed my email address, but was then directed to a page which said "You need to enable cookies for this page to work".
I've tried this in Firefox and IE on Windows and Chrome on IOS, all with cookies enabled. Same problem.
Fortunately I then remembered my password so I could log in and post this bug report without having to create a new account

I have seen that. The cookie handling on this site seems half-baked recently. I have been getting several cookie-related errors, that occur with no real pattern.

Can you please hit this page: http://www.codeproject.com/script/misc/CookieTest.aspx[^] and let me know what it says.
There was an issue, weeks ago, where the message "Please ensure you have cookies enabled" was shown even if you had cookies enabled. It was purely a reminder, not a statement about the state of your cookies. That's been fixed. If, however, you are getting a message saying cookies aren't enabled, yet the cookie test page says you do have cookies enabled then let me know.

Hi Chris,
Iv'e just found out I can log in using G+ account, so I can actually log in here and reply. YAY
For reference, I'm the one who sent you the reply's via twitter as @shawty_ds
Anyway....
in response to your question, YES the cookies test page does tell me I have cookies enabled, but the password recovery page still tells me I do not.
That however is a moot point now that I discovered I can use my G+ account, but I'll still help you to debug the issue if need be.

Hey Peter,
Do you end up getting a temporary password sent anyway? As long as you pass the CAPTCHA test it's still going to send a password, even if it whines about cookies.

Hi Chris,
Nope... got nothing.
I located my old account it's under the name of "shawty_ds" I checked both email accounts that I would have used with that and nothing.
|
|
|
|
|
Hi Chris: RE Private message to me. Yes I do, and Iv'e checked. Got nothing.
Will go check again, just to make sure.
Regards
Shawty

ha ha!!
So I checked again, and still nothing, but this time I decided to dig into Yahoos spam trap folder... and guess what I found hidden away deep in the bottom.
A whole bunch of password reset emails.
So am going to take the latest one, and change the password.
However, what to do now though is the question. I now have a new account set up under my Google+ login, so I may just scrap the old one. Is there any process for doing that?

The original signup email you got has a link to nuke your account, or I can nuke whatever account you wish.
I was guessing it would be an email issue. Thanks for following up on this. Mystery solved.

No probs at all. I'd like to think if it was the other way round and it was a Lidnug issue, you'd do the same for me/us
on the subject of Nuking things, just nuke my shawty_ds account it's years old anyway, from here on using my G+ login is great anyway, I'm trying to centralise all my social type accounts under one centralised login provider anyway

Hi Chris,
speak too soon.
So I log out of this account using my G+ loogin, and attempt to login with the 5 most recent password reset "passwords" sent to me.
First occasion I get "Password / UN don't match" - which is fair enough, so lets try the other reset emails..
Each one thereafter however, where the form is directly on your aspx page rather then the dropdown from the menu, I get:
No password was entered, please enter a password
Every-time I try to login.
|
|
|
|
|
So on this page[^], when you enter your email and a password, it says "no password was supplied"?
Hmm.

EMail me at my old yahoo address, I'll send you a screen shot it'll be easier
|
|
|
|
|
Interestingly enough, I refreshed it a few times, then re-tried and I got the "no match" message as expected.
I wonder if it's a weird caching issue of some description.
I know my ISP uses those net-cache appliances on it's border, and I know from past experience those things can cause a serious headache with things like AppFabric and similiar systems.

In the article I've just submitted, there's an additional "</textitemview>" appearing at the end of the first code block. I did not enter that, but it appeared in the preview. After switching back to HTML mode, it was suddenly there. So I removed it, but after publishing the article, it was back again! The code formatter seems to invent new content on its own... And it's not even in the same language.

Chris updated your article, you can compare both versions to see the differences

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

I've noticed that after the edit, the bug is no longer visible. But it was there and somebody may want to fix it so that it doesn't startle others.
Do the CodeProject guys really format all the syntax highlighting by hand? Yesterday, I first thought that submitting an article is like in a blog system, but after reading through all of the documentation, I felt like they do the same hard work like I do on my website, only for lots of other people... And I have automatic syntax highlighting and file download snippets that do it all at request (I don't need to trigger it).
