I have seen it happen only once, so it will be nearly impossible for me to report success...

I've got another one (in the aftermath of my latest T&T adventure); this time I took a screen shot and a source copy; I've mailed both of them to you.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to upload the new code today. Too busy modernizing the Forums and changing...Just kidding!!

Tomorrow is looking saner for an upload.

NP.
I can easily ignore the bad ad, it isn't harmful and very infrequent anyway.

I just deleted few answers posted by this user.[^].
I guess, his action was reported earlier too (last week or so!)

Well Done, things feel back to normal now.

8-Sep-10 3:07

That's OK. I'm just cleaning up the article and would have approved it anyway.

Thanks for fixing the issues. Smile | :)

ok i'll whisper this next bit then;

I notice you are linking your jquery source direct to Microsoft website, would it not be better to link this to CP servers in case the MS site went offline for any reason? It maybe doesn't but i would have thought you would want to keep external dependency minimised.

(http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js)

A few reasons:

1. Many sites use the Microsoft and Google CDNs for jQuery (we found Microsoft to be faster) andso if a reader visits one site that links to that file, then comes to us, they already have the same file on their machine so no need to re-download it - even if they have never visited us

2. Microsoft's CDN is geographically distributed meaning the files will be served from servers closer to the reader than our single server

3. We have pretty good uptime, but we can't compete with Microsoft in that game

Look carefully at the source

HTML

<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/script/JS/jquery-1.4.2.min.js' type='text/javascript' %3E%3C/script%3E"));
}//]]></script>

If the Microsoft CDN fails our own version will be pulled down automatically.

Thanks Chris, that interesting to know, it makes sense. I'll have to remember that for the future.

If CP goes down does it really matter that MS is still hosting the default copy of jquery you use? Confused | :confused:

Responses timing out?

I am not sure how else to put it. But if I am responding to another message and it takes more'n about 2 minutes to write the response then when I hit post I end up on a blank screen. Recently someone else in SB1 complained about this as well. "Tell you what Jon, I'm getting pretty fed up with CodeProject at the moment. It is getting nigh on impossible to post a message these days. The message below I tried 5 times to post before copying it to notepad and pasting it in another browser."[^]

The work around for me is to write a responses as usual, clipboard the response, navigate back to the main page, reclick on reply and paste the message into the new editor. Then, it posts as usual.

late 20's and I do. I wouldn't worry about it too much. The kidiots who slept though both History and How To Google classes at school are beneath our contempt. Let them blunder around in willful ignorance and laugh in their faces. Laugh | :laugh:
