Hello new world!

  • Just checking out the new forums...

  • And replies.

  • Struggling to logon using mobile device, getting asked to re-register?

    ...

  • @happygeek any chance of a screenshot of the error, and which device you're using? I assume you logged on OK on desktop with the same credentials?

    (Long shot: it's not autocorrect / auto-caps or something like that is it?)

  • Can now logon with mobile device after two hours of trying str ifii trytto  redit text itvjust addsarandom lettersl or duplcatesd!! VeryVodd thisthi this is

    ...

  • Can now logon with mobile device after two hours of trying str ifii trytto  redit text itvjust addsarandom lettersl or duplcatesd!! VeryVodd thisthi this is

    ...

  • Should I stop using mobile device?

    ...

  • We should definitely make sure it works on mobile :-). If you could give us a few more details, that'd help us track down the problem though:

    • What device and OS version are you using when you have the problem?
    • Does it work OK for your used on a different device, like a desktop PC?
    • Do you see random characters being entered as you're typing, or do they just appear later?

    Thanks,

    Rob

    /**********************************************************************************************************************
    Purpose:
    Return a column of BIGINTs from @ZeroOrOne up to and including @MaxN with a max value of 10 Quadrillion.

    Usage:
    --===== Syntax example
    SELECT t.N
    FROM dbo.fnTally(@ZeroOrOne,@MaxN) t
    ;

    Notes:
    1. This code works for SQL Server 2005 and up.
    2. Based on Itzik Ben-Gan's cascading CTE (cCTE) method for creating a "readless" Tally Table source of BIGINTs.
    Refer to the following URL for how it works. http://sqlmag.com/sql-server/virtual-auxiliary-table-numbers
    3. To start a sequence at 0, @ZeroOrOne must be 0 or NULL. Any other value that's convertable to the BIT data-type
    will cause the sequence to start at 1.
    4. If @ZeroOrOne = 1 and @MaxN = 0, no rows will be returned.
    5. If @MaxN is negative or NULL, a "TOP" error will be returned.
    6. @MaxN must be a positive number from >= the value of @ZeroOrOne up to and including 10 Quadrillion. If a larger
    number is used, the function will silently truncate after 10 Quadrillion. If you actually need a sequence with
    that many values, you should consider using a different tool. ;-)
    7. There will be a substantial reduction in performance if "N" is sorted in descending order. If a descending
    sort is required, use code similar to the following. Performance will decrease by about 27% but it's still
    very fast especially compared with just doing a simple descending sort on "N", which is about 20 times slower.
    If @ZeroOrOne is a 0, in this case, remove the "+1" from the code.

    DECLARE @MaxN BIGINT;
    SELECT @MaxN = 1000;
    SELECT DescendingN = @MaxN-N+1
    FROM dbo.fnTally(1,@MaxN);

    8. There is no performance penalty for sorting "N" in ascending order because the output is explicity sorted by
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))

    Revision History:
    Rev 00 - Unknown - Jeff Moden
    - Initial creation with error handling for @MaxN.
    Rev 01 - 09 Feb 2013 - Jeff Moden
    - Modified to start at 0 or 1.
    Rev 02 - 16 May 2013 - Jeff Moden
    - Removed error handling for @MaxN because of exceptional cases.
    Rev 03 - 07 Sep 2013 - Jeff Moden
    - Change the max for @MaxN from 10 Billion to 10 Quadrillion to support an experiment.
    This will also make it much more difficult for someone to actually get silent truncation in the future.

    Nested quote + addition of an image..  rat's... can't copy image file (gif) from HD and paste.  Will try something else... not sure how to upload images at this point.  Tried click'n'drag.  No joy.  The insert/edit image works as an upload from HD.Test Image from HD

    Ok... that worked.

  • Article counts are totally out of whack.  I don't have 75 articles and for other people, since when to blog entries count as articles?

    A lot of old clickable links don't work any more.  For example, the links in my signature line no longer work.  I realize that migrations to new systems are always going to be perfect but damn!  Well, at least code keeps it's indentation now.  That's the most important thing for me.

  • It would also appear that you cannot go back to a previously submitted post and edit it.

    Also, for article, you can no longer get a view count to see how an article is doing for views, which is important to an author to try to figure out what one may be doing right or wrong for future article submissions.

    And what the heck order are old articles listed in now?

     

    Getting back to editing previous replies, I was able to edit this reply... is there a time limit or something on which of one's own posts can be edited???

     

    Also, turns out that only one of the links in my signature are broken but that's bad enough.  Checking to see if the article still exists. 🙁

  • Yeah... guess there's a time limit for edits on posts... can't edit the previous post any more.

     

    Briefcase is making sucking sounds.  Had everything categorized by tags and all the tags are gone as are a lot of the briefcase items.

     

    Tried to edit one link in my signature section and it messed up the entire signature section.

     

    "Latest" forum posts are also not in order by latest descending date.
