Crash when trying to log in
-
Re post from other location on site: Every time I try and log into Code project it crashes, get picture of the bugs, OK that's neat but fed up seeing it! Using IE9 on Window 7 64 bit - no other problems seen with IE9 or system, just Code project Have exited, cleared cache etc. Update 1 Just noticed that one of the crashed attempts at logging in must have actually worked as I'm logged in. So maybe its not the logging in but what the web page does after log in! Update 2 Seems to work with Chrome better! No crash As a note: Code project use to be great, now its difficult and hard to use just like VS 2012. The badly designed Metro interface makes it nearly impossible to find things without resorting to trial clicks all over the place - just finding the log in on the home page is near impossible - even when you find 'You need to be signed in' the link is badly contrasted nearly as bad as Windows 8. Metro look is not CP's fault - but using it is! Please ditch the Metro look it doesn't work -or a least tone it down so that its at least usable!

I use IE9 on Win7 64bit extensively and unfortunately can't reproduce the issue. Since you say you are seeing the Mad Hamsters error page it means it's a server (our) issue, not something your end. On that error screen there should be a ticket number. Can you please send that ticket number to me next time you see it? I'm looking at the error logs and not seeing anything relevant.

Will do - just logged in without any Mad hampsters :( they where becoming part of the family! However did try to reply to another post earlier and it was refusing to post 'Oops! There was an unexpected problem adding your answer. Please try again later.'
I can send you plenty of Mad Hamsters. We have a supply.
