Thanks.

This is a strange one.

I wish i could help more, but debugging weird CSS issues isn't my forte.

Since it only happens to me on the Lounge (where it does about 95% of the time), I tried hiding the message summary element www.codeproject.com##.summary because it's not on any of the other forums suspecting it might be causing a race condition in the layout somehow; but it didn't help at all.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Cannot post questions with a sensible name

When I post a question, it gets posted as from Member 13898393. In Settings, the "Your Display Name" field is empty and cannot be changed.

I don't see how to post a screenshot here.

Screenshot is easy, but only works in selected forums for KSS reasons.
When you have the page you want to show, hold the SHIFT and Windows Keys then press S - the screen will "dim" and you can select any portion of it by click and drag. It will be copied to the clipboard (this is a WIn 10 feature)
Then come to this forum - it accepts images - create a message, and paste the image:

If you look closely, it tells you when you can paste images under the input textbox.

No text box at all!
Just for completeness, the admins might find it helpful to know the browser and OS you are running, together with their versions if that's not too much trouble.

Env: Windows 10 Home (no obvious version), Firefox 78.0.2. Could be a Firefox issue, since subtle CSS and JavaScript effects can be handled differently on different browsers.

For comparison, I do have a box:

Chrome Version 84.0.4147.89 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Windows 10 Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.959)

Impressive that you dug out all that detailed version info!

Easy to do:
For Chrome, click the "three dots", and select "Help ... About Google Chrome" from the menu. You can copy'n'paste from there.

For Windows, hold the Windows key and press R (known as WINKEY+R) then type "winver" and ENTER. You can't copy'n'paste from there, but that's Microsoft for you ... Laugh | :laugh:

Hey David

Do you have an ad blocker such as uBlock installed? They corrupt websites and remove elements that are needed.

I've updated your profile so your display name is David_Spector (David Spector was taken). Feel free to season to taste.

cheers

I have AdBlock Plus installed, and it is responsible. Turning it off reveals the field. Excellent deduction! Smile | :)

Now how do I mark your reply as The Answer and close this bug report?

I poked around and found that the problem in AdBlock Plus is in its user-maintained subscription ad element list called EasyList. This list classifies CodeProject with antisemitic websites, resulting in mangling of the settings maintenance page.

I have reported this false positive both to AdBlock Plus and EasyList, so the problem should eventually be fixed.

The user workaround is to turn off AdBlock Plus for this page or to disable EasyList in the ABP addon options page.

Good observation. I hadn't considered that.

Blog pull issue

Hi,

It seems there is some issue in the blog pull feed. My blog feed shows following as Last Polled and Last Updated: 18-Jul-20 17:27 | 9-Jul-20 2:18

The first icon of Download Now keeps on spinning continuously.

I have a blog sitting to be pulled: Quick look into SignalR - Learn by Insight...

I have rel-tag based url in my blog and feed setup in CP. After some updates to it, my last blog got pulled. Few messages below - I reported the same.

Am I missing something?

Thanks.

I double checked and the feed does not have anything about SignalR.
Is there some caching going on that you don't know about as you are probably connected directly.
And yes, I did refresh my browser cache.

Here, downloaded right now, my blog feed as text for you to look: https://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/2217092/myblogfeed.rss.zip

It has the SignalR blog in it and the rel tag too for that blog:

It wasn't there yesterday, but is today. I think there is something going on with your caching at your host or CDN.

I forced an update and it came through. It just needs to be reviewed and approved so it make take a day to go live.

Sure Matt! I did a checkup today morning with my friend to see the feed and it was there - all looked good as expected. So, I am still not sure if there was something on my side.

Given it's pulled in, good for now. Thanks for your help!

Hi Matt!

Seems there is some issue in blog pull, third time I am facing the same issue. Following are things I observe:
1. Auto pull update dates are always stale (not regular feed pull and seen)
2. If I force pull, it's three times in a row now where the recent ones are not pulled in.

Is there some logic of strong caching at your end? Just to share, I made sure of purging any cache at my end though I doubt it has any role. Further, I checked with my friend and the RSS feed is showing the updated data.

Thanks.

By forcing the pull, you've destroyed the information I need to debug the issue. Please just report it if it happens again.
