Well, I turned off AdBlock and I now get the user login/password boxes. Weird
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! - Lazarus Long

Unfortunately not really weird.
Imagine a free concert that was sponsored by, say, a local restaurant or Music school. At the concert you get a program with the acts to be shown, with some ads promoting the sponsoring restaurant or school. An Ad Blocker is like a guy who grabs that program from you and cuts out the ads with a pair of scissors. Sometimes it works, but sometimes the back of an ad contains information you need, like where the toilets are or a coupon for a free beer. Or the staples fall out.
We've seen it time and time again and to anyone unwilling to pay 30% of their advertising revenue1 to AdBlock Plus to be whitelisted it's a painful level of intrusion that materially, and deeply, affects many websites ability to pay the bills. We used to try and work around the things that ABP broke but it kept changing and in many cases there is zero we can do because of the way ABP manipulates our DOM.
As to why they actively break our sign in page and what that has to do with advertising: You'd have to ask them that. From my point of view I feel like a shop owner who comes into the shop each day to find the front door smashed. Again.

Chris,
That's perfectly fair, but can you at least add a note on the login page saying you need to turn off ad blockers?

1) Just realized that I don't get notifications about new/updated messages on my articles anymore  Does anyone know where I can turn this off again?
2) Here is a message I've been missing until now:
AvalonDock [2.0] Tutorial Part 1 - Adding a Tool Window
I am sure the download was there at some stage - is it possible to recover the last version from the history?
3) As a site note - it would be a great improvement if I would get a notification because someone tried to download something but the download was not successful

1. In your settings under "Emails" is this:
I've checked the "Enable Article forum notification emails" which controls the notifications.
2. That's not a bad idea. In the meantime I've looked and cannot find that missing file. Any chance you could re-upload or send it to us and we'll re-upload?
cheers

I found the missing file in my backups but it contains only an html page of the download error html page even though its a zip file - so, it seems like I lost it a while ago without realizing it since I never tried actually unzipping the file that appears to contain the html of the download html page ... I'll see if I can re-construct the content or search for older backups ...
Thanks Dirk

Thanks mate.

I uploaded the re-constructed zip file now and realized that I missed another message:
AvalonDock [2.0] Tutorial Part 1 - Adding a Tool Window
until now since I never got a notification about it - can someone please configure this for me and send me a test message through the forum? And like I said, I still think its a good idea to generate a notification mail if someone 'downloads' a file that cannot be found on the server 
Cheers Dirk

OK, I now have been receiving notifications as expected, not sure if somethings changed in the meantime?

No, it was me. I checked the correct checkboxes in your settings.

I thought this had already been implemented some years ago, but it seems it hasn't. It would be nice to be able to correct/resubmit a survey response.
Thanks,

Out of nowhere, my QA filter has gone from empty to
C#2.0, C#3.0, C#, C#4.0, C#3.5, C#5 I'm logged in on two machines at present, and it shows on both.
At least, when I clear it on one, the other one clears too. 
[EDIT] Just happened again. It's now
IE6.0, IE5.5, IE7, ASP, ASP.NET, Javascript, CSS, HTML, IE, XHTML, PHP, WebForms, Ajax, Python, Python2.2, Python2.3, Python2.4, Firefox, IE8, CSS3, HTML5, IE9, chrome, safari, Python2.7, Rails, IE10, Node.js, IE11 I'll leave it for a few hours in case the hamsters want to poke around in databases and similar nether regions.

I have found in the past that this happens if I select one of the article tabs on the home page.

Hmmm. Another clue for the hamsters? I haven't been able to correlate it with anything I've done.

That's basically the web development filter (admittedly terribly out of date). Did you hit the search page or hit a tab on the homepage?

No searches. On the home page, I do the straw poll, look at the "need approval" list, take the dropdowns to a forum. Usually community/lounge. I don't (consciously) touch the filters there.
Cheers,

please help me i can't download source code , i tried that more one

There are thousands of articles here, probably tens of thousands - I haven't counted. To work out which single download of all those available you have a problem with (assuming it's source code here at all) we would need to exactly which source code you are having problems with, and what happens when you try. Even then, probably the only person who can help you (and restore the download) is the person who wrote the article, and we have no idea who that is either - there are a possible 13,847,124 of them!
So start by posting a message in the forum at the bottom of the article so that the author knows there is a problem, and maybe he can fix it for you.
If that doesn't work in a reasonable time - and remember, it's a Sunday, it's Super Bowl in the US, and most of the articles here are written by volunteers who have paying jobs to do so a "reasonable time" will be measured in days, not minutes - then try posting a request here: Article Writing Discussion Boards[^] but add links to the article, and explain what you tried, and what happened as a result please.

If you opt to receive notifications in straight text, forum reply emails come through pretty squashed up - no line breaks between From:, message, signature, and DO NOT HIT...
I've also noticed there's no replacement for smilies - someone sends you a simple and it's essentially an empty message.
Not a biggie... but wld be nice to fix.

Tim! How are you?
Which email client are you using? Outlook has that thing where it removes “superfluous” new lines.
Can you forward me the email and I’ll take s look.
