Am I getting reputation points for someone else's work?
-
I wrote a pretty popular article a long time ago (8 years), and was surprised by how frequently it's been being downloaded. So when I looked at "Recent Reputation Points" and clicked on the download file (prettygoodsplashscreencode.zip) the link took me to someone else's splash screen article. Seems like something is wrong here. The HTML looks like this:
<td class="border-none-left">Related File<a id="ctl00_MC_LRH_ctl03_SmO" href="/KB/dotnet/Yet_Another_Splash_Screen.aspx">prettygoodsplashscreencode.zip</a> </td>
The file "prettygoodsplashscreencode.zip" is mine. The article "Yet_Another_Splash_Screen.aspx" is not. So maybe I'll lose some reputation points here, but I'd rather it be fair if I'm wrongly getting credit.

We have a few mis-appropriated links that we're in the process of fixing. They'll all be rewired and points recalculated - so thanks for letting us know there's another one, and also for the honesty. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: for being so honest...
I quit being afraid when my first venture failed and the sky didn't fall down.
