    Do this[^] Google search. It searches for "VanillaConsole", which is the name of the skeleton console application I use when I post on the forums. Clicking on the links doesn't bring you to the correct posts. If you click on the "cached" link it works however. On a side note, when I use the cached link I get the same problem I get in IE (missing buttons and such) in Firefox.

      This I believe is not the CodeProject's fault. Google only displays what the bot picked up the last time it viewed the site. I am guessing that the bot checked the site before it was updated (many times).

        Google sees the page expanded. VanillaConsole is still on the page that the link takes you to, but only appears if you expand that message. Why Google is showing that particular link for that particular message is something you'd have to ask them. Maybe we should just expand the message view by default.

        cheers, Chris Maunder

          I found the problem and it was my faulty (oops). A while ago I made IE report the user agent as GoogleBot and then promptly forgot I’d done it. Sorry for wasting your time.
