They'll be back. Hopefully Alvin is OK since he is in the TN area and they had flooding last week. I'll try to ping him.

Gus and Alvin both out... no wonder the Thread has been quiet lately. 😛

I'm dry and ok folks. I'm happy to say that the flooding did not affect me. I can't say the same for some areas around here, especially east of here, towards Nashville.

I started working on a new contract 2.5 weeks ago and I don't get much time for checking the forum any more. FYI, dbcc timewarp is not helping.

Alvin beat me back over here. He answered me in email and said that his wife was working two jobs so he could hang out and drink mint juleps on the lawn

Does anyone know of a FireFox (3.6.3) Add-on that provides a toolbar for supporting enhanced text fields (where you can directly format the text in a field) , such as what you would see in a SharePoint site (specifically in the discussion area)? This is built-in with IE6+, but I'd prefer to use FF.

Thanks!

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

Normally when driving along, if there's been a nasty accident I just drive past (as long as I can't do anything to help) - I don't 'rubberneck' and slow down to stare.

But sometime, just sometimes, I just have to watch.

I think it's just turned into a multi-car pileup with a couple explosions.

this was in production environment and we do not have a backup.
in meantime if there anything you recommend we try
Update your resume....

That was the line for me!

I'm not the brightest bulb in the shop, but no backups in production?

Didn't you know, RAID means that you don't need backup. *cough*

The upgrade error message worries me....
