Last week my repuation allowed me to edit Q&A entries but now, apparently, I can't despite my reputed reputation having risen.

Has something changed or are the hamsters on the lash again?

Yes these rules have in fact changed. The Quick Answers FAQ[^] has been updated here at the office but hasn't yet made it to production. Basically, the ability to edit now depends on your level of certain reputation types. Your level can be any of:

- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Platinum

For any of the following reputation types:

- Author
- Authority
- Editor
- Enquirer
- Organiser
- Participant

Refer to the Reputation FAQ[^] for which reputation points apply to which reputation types.

You can't yet view how many points you have for each reputation type but we'll definitely work that in. Sorry for the confusion. Smile | :)

Cannot download most article source attachments in Firefox 3.x (recieve error.aspx=NoFileName)

Re: Cannot download most article source attachments in Firefox 3.x (recieve error.aspx=NoFileName)

21-Dec-09 3:38

Hey all, I have this very strange issue that suddenly popped up lately. I cannot download most, if not all, attachments to articles as of late last week. This is on two machines, Vista 64 with Firefox 3.5.6 and Windows 2000/Firefox 3.0.16 (yes I still have a Windows 2000 machine, Smile | :)

).

I have tried to resolve this several ways to no avail. Has anyone else received the message of...

"An Error Occurred Ticket: (No ticket provided - possibly an error in the error-system)
Error: An error occurred in this page. The error has been recorded and the site administrator informed."

...when they attempt to download (click on) an attachment link, be it code, a binary, a zip, or otherwise.

This is only for codeproject.com, all other sites with downloads work fine to my knowledge, I did not try the entire Internet.

I also should mention that IE 7 works perfectly, which is why I think it is a browser or header issue perhaps. (Please don't tell me to start using IE, Dead | X|

)

Help or pointers appreciated. I fear this is something with Firefox, as they just released a security update on the 16th.

Thanks!

I'm looking into this now. Can you send me the URL of the page you are on when clicking a link? Also, are you logged in when trying to download? Do you have any WebWasher or firewall software installed?

Chris, thanks for the attention to this. It seems like I am the only one with this problem, besides the recent comment from Robert.

I was originally looking at the articles for the C# competition this month which used to be on the home page. Then I tried random articles that were in my history.

Here's a sample of the urls I was attempting to get code from:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/Battleship2008.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/game/CSharpSnooker.aspx

There were at least 4 other completely unrelated articles.

I have not found a root cause on my own as of yet. Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks again. Good luck!

Chris,

Works like a charm!

I am extremely curious why this issue cropped up seemingly randomly.

Care to share?

Thanks for looking into that, I can get my fix of CodeProject now.

Keep up the great work!

One man's random is another man's bug.

It was our fault.

Yes sir, I hear you. Glad I reported it then, hope it didn't cause you too much trouble.

Mate - it's you for whom I worry about the bug causing trouble.

I see the same in IE 8. My FireFox 3.5.5 (and Opera 10.1 by the way) works fine though
