A number of the links to message boards are invalid, pretty sure its because of the subdomain lamp in the url, i.e.
http://lamp.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=2605[^]
Doesn't work, brings up an XML parsing error, but removing the subdomain from the link causes the correct page to load.
That is all

I'm not sure if this is by design or a bug, but I posted an article - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/microsoftreporting.aspx[^] and my zip file that I uploaded causes a default server error (it does not display the friendly CP error)
Also, and I assume this is a bug, if I try to delete a file, I get a page not found (friendly) error.
Is the download not available because it is a new article?
Thanks

The download is working fine here. Can you please retry?

When I click it, IE opens a new window to http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/microsoftreporting/MSReportingTest.zip[^] and shows the error page.
It could be the office filter. Every page has a javascript error on it and your ads are blank.
I tried another project and it wouldn't download there either. It must be the filter, which is weird
because it used to let me download. If it's working for you, that's good enough for me.
Thanks Chris.

Could you please do 2 favours for me:
1. Do a 'View Source' of an article for me and email me what you see to chris at codeproject dot com.
2. Disable javascript in your browser and then try downloading

I sent you the source. I turned off javascript and the JS error went away, but I still cannot download. I no longer suspect it is the websense filter, because usually I get a websense page telling me I cannot do what I was trying to do if it is blocked. In this case I am not seeing a websense filter. Here what the JS error looks like:
Line: 2
Char: 7
Error: Invalid Character
Code: 0
URL: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Ann/ServeThirdParty.aspx?p=150x80&attrs=&r=6472344

The ad system and downloading are separate so an error in one should not affect the other. Also, downloading doesn't use javascript at all
Are you using a download manager or web accelerator?

The office uses Websense as a filter, but I am not using any other applications to download the project. When I left click the download link, it sends me to the zip and shows the standard "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage."

Is it possible to display when an article was last voted on, as well as what that vote was? In the last 48 hours, someone has one'd some of my articles, and I have no way of knowing which ones they were. I have a feeling Gaylord is at work again, but there's no way to check.

I'm not sure how that would help apart from feeding some of your fury. I'm going to make some more changes to our vote tracking but I can't see anything specific from the initial check I did

Well, beyond the univoter problem, there really is no way to see what article vote affected your average. I spent 20 minutes gong through all of my articles to see if I could determine that on my own, and I couldn't. Just an indication as to the date/time the last voted occurred be great.
As far as the univoter thing keeping track of who votes what and where would go a long way to being able to track the trouble-makers and take appropriate action. I think we exchanged some rather lengthy messages regarding possible resolutions to this problem a year or so back.

We do.
The problem is one of perception. Someone gets downvoted and they think it's one guy. There are 3 million people each month coming through, reading articles, reading the lounge, voting. The scope for you to really offend a new or established member each month and have them downvote you is enormous.
We can't stop someone legitimately deciding the want to downvote you. We can see patterns and take action against that person, but what's most needed here is a way to either encourage useful votes, or discard spurious votes.
One thing I have thought about is displaying only the 95th percentile of votes but this is dangerous at early voting stages: voting then gets heavily swayed by whoever votes earliest.

If the votes are a problem, then why keep them? As a radical thought (not), a simple "Is this useful (yes or no)" may suffice. If you offered an option to say "this article/item is exceptional" then you can keep the good articles at the top of the pile.

Microsoft KBs and MSDN articles have a similar near the footer of the content. When you click them, it automatically opens up a textbox, where you can type a few comments and send it across.
I am not sure why this suggestion got down-voted. Even when I try to vote a '5' it does not seem to get-up. Possibly, it has accumulated a large fatty '1's already.

The article link you posted is for an article that has been deleted. I believe I have read the forums before, and any article that has been deleted is still kept in the article database (for backup purposes) and some links will still go to the article even if it is not available for the public domain.

The characters displayed do not match the characters spoken. What is worse is that the spoken characters are correct, so the only wy to pass the security check is to listen to the spoken info.

Don't know about you but I couldn't get the visual confirmation passed even if I lisened to it closely. So I had to make another mail.
P.S. I am not sure what happened to my old one

I'm seeing this turn up a bit in the error logs but for the life of me can't replicate it.
Can you let me know what browser you are using? Are you behind a proxy or firewall? I'm assuming cookies are also on...

I am using IE 7, 128-bit, no proxy, XP Media center (SP2).
It still happens for my account, and I am able to get around it using the spoken confirmation letters.
If you send me your email I can send you some attachments (screen shot, *.mht, page source, ...) if that would help.

Not sure if this is a CP problem, or something else - whenever I click the top right banner ad (next to Bob) all I get is a new blank window saying "Done", but no actual referal to anything useful.
