It would be nice to have a feature to register yourself for being notified when a specific article has been updated.

We know. This is due to a quick and dirty optimisation we had to do last night due to a stored procedure that was previously running instantly suddenly deciding that 5 mins was a far more relaxed and sensible time within which to run.

We're just sweeping up the mess from last nights work and will have it fixed in a couple of hours

Also, the Java[^] forum shows 243 post count but when I entered, there's no posts...showing "no messages" !!

I assume this is one question and 247 replies asking whey they were coding in Java.

Yep - it's a database timeout. You know the one - works screamingly fast when called any place except the one line of code where you want it to. And everything is the same.

Third time this week and we're starting to think someone is messing with our heads.

Message modification

Let me put is like this...

Suppose User A asked a question, I didn't know the answer then, so I tell user A "I don't know, will reply later".

After sometime I do get a valid answer so I reply to him by modifying my original message, so does user A get alerted of this modification just like a new message alert is send? If not is it possible? Smile | :)

I just send a 'new message' to a user to tell him the answer?

Thanks!

This would be a bit annoying in cases where members make multiple updates of posts. We can do it but I've deliberately turned it off.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes agreed it's annoying for small modifications, but if the time between last modification and current modification is big enough it will be nice IMO to let the user know! Smile | :)

The real question is, why would you say "I dont know, but will reply later"? If you dont know, why say it? Just let someone else answer. Your "I dont know" doesnt help the person who asks the question, even if you say that you "will reply later" with a correct answer.Seriously.

"impossible" is just an opinion.

Well this happened in my reply to this guy! --> http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/Taskbar_Manipulation.aspx?msg=1612645#xx1612645xx[^]

I replied to him in 2006, so now I know a better answer hence thought to modify my original message, but I had to post a new one to let him know!

I don't, but since I wrote this stuff hence I should reply to him instead of keeping him waiting.

As NBT said, this is on the forum on his article. I'd agree with you if it was in a help forum, but it would be nice to acknowledge a reported bug on your own article...

In your defense, he didn't initially say about his article, and I took it to mean the main fora too.

Iain.
