Hey Peter,
I'm spending the morning trying to coax the system into spitting out an error from the ad page. If it happens, and it hijacks the entire page, the ad cycling is gone until I can find a solution.
This frustrates me as much as everyone else.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

I've been running trouble free throughout the entire day. Yet, yesterday was hell, and I'm afraid it will reoccur.
When it happens again, is there any information that might help you?
I know quite well how frustrating it is if you can't reproduce a problem. I'm still optimistic that it's simple once you get the right piece of information.

The problem simply caused by heavy load. I think things have sorted themselves out now, but thanks for the offer (and your patience)
cheers,

This is just a minor suggestion, but would it be possible to fix the ad server so it does not continually throw out those annoying 500 errors.
Thanks.

I was just going to re-suggest that very thing.
In fact I suggested it about two weeks ago and got voted down here for some inexplicable reason, maybe it was my "tone".;)

Maybe server itself voted you down. These beasts are unpredictible these days

I've got error checking all over the place, custom error pages, exception handling, even on error resume next's splattered liberally.
Let me know if the problem persists. It's one of those cases where what you would expect to be happening isn't what's actually happening. It's frustrating for everyone.
cheers,

Huh? It's been going on sporadically for many weeks, perhaps months - I haven't been keeping track. I have been trying to correlate it to something but haven't had much success. It happens with equal frequency no matter what conditions I can detect prevail. I thought at first it was a load problem, but it doesn't matter whether there are 1600 or 6000 users connected. I check to see if my connection is poor, but other very busy sites respond without error. I haven't yet tried using tracert again, as we all did before when the NSP was having routing problems, but I will and if there's a pattern I'll pass it on. Predictably, the site is working perfectly this morning so it would be an exercise in futility today. Yesterday, though, it took so many tries to post a single reply that I gave up and got something productive accomplished instead. Hmmmm... Maybe I'm on to something here...
It must be rather frustrating for you, like spending all day tuning a car to running perfection only to find that it won't start in the morning.

I made some changes yesterday so if the ads die they (hopefully) won't take out the page they are in. If this change doesn't help then it's back to the drawing board

Whatever you did seems to have helped eliminate the errors from showing up on this end. Makes browsing CP a much better experience than it has been the last while.

Chris, I do not know if this will help you any, but I just had a lounge page come up where the left side banner ad was missing. In it's place was IE's default "Cannot find server or DNS error" page.

There seems to be something drastically wrong with the topic colouring.. it appears to be doing something like this:
if( message.votes > 0 )
if( message.averagevote == 5 )
message.colour = red
else
message.colour = grey
endif
endif
whereas I'd expect something like
if( message.votes > 0 )
if( message.averagevote > 3.5 )
message.colour = red
else if( message.averagevote < 1.5 )
message.colour = grey
else
message.colour = black
endif
endif
or something to that effect

Ahh, I see - I hadn't noticed that I'd managed to accidentially change the noise level (so everything below 4.5 was becoming greyed)
d'oh!

In one of my other messages, I asked if it was possible to get an e-mail everytime somebody replies to any message that was a reply to the original message, and I was told that it would be too much overhead. Didn't actually reread the reply, but the jist of it was no.  .
How about, when a person clicks on their messages link to see what messages they've submitted, instead of just seeing a new icon for that message (which I don't understand why you should ever see it, since every new message entered appears open and read), they only see the new icon for any new message reply within that thread?
This is the equivalent to the other, except it should cut down the overhead.
Also, my messages submitted link almost always takes forever to come up, and a lot of times times out on the first couple of tries, even when the rest of Code Project comes up normally (like the forums and articles). Is that on a separate server or something?

With all the talent at Code Project (especially those actually at Code Project (who are also over-worked )), how come we don't have open-source projects that are continuously being built upon and improved? A lot of people provide feedback to authors on certain applications that they created, but it would be nice if Code Project had a SourceForge type place where everyone can download and support that official Code Project application. I know we're not trying to create competition between authors here, but we can ask them if we can take something of theirs and combine it all into another similar application. We can actually have free, commercial-quality software that will replace plenty of other $oftware$. Bwahahaha.
Or if that's not necessary because it's being supported somewhere else already, have a link to where that Open Source project is located (SourceForge, et al).

Several projects have been started and they all failed to take off. Some moved away from CodeProject to have a life of their own.
Do a search for Code Project Projects in the Forums and Articles and you might find some links and discussion.

It was already tried - they were called CP2, CodeProject Code Projects - but the CP forum software wasn't up to the task of being a project management tool. As the earlier post said, a few survived and were moved to existing OSS sites or to their own site. I don't know the names off the top of my head, but the CP2 articles might still be around.
