Having the priorities separated would distinguish them a little more and get them more attention. Is that something easily implemented?

Any thoughts/input on this suggestion? It would really clean up the clutter at the top of forums with announcements and sticky's to make them more noticeable instead of inherently ignored.

I've made it for myself but it's already cumbersome to make it for YAF too.

I added a new css class (priorityRow) to that table row, and hightlight them with an different background color. I think they are now better visible.

The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040))

Previously that was something with the build script which is why I mention it.

However, my real question is do we have optional color for Announcement AND Sticky or is it one color for both of them?

extract contents to desktop

run the BuildPackages.bat file

extract the upgrade zip from the deploy folder into two folders bin and forum

open the solution

change to release

rebuild solution

move DLL's from the YetAnotherForum.NET\Bin to deploy\bin

zip bin and forum

upload zip

unzip zip

I don't know why it's not working this time, but I've downloaded the commit a few times and keep getting the same error.

As for changing references ... I have not done that manually. I thought doing a solution rebuild would handle that?

Only if you update them (copy the assemblies to the bin folder where they are referenced) but it sounds that you do that.

I don't know what else I can do. I will keep trying the new commits as they come and hopefully they start working again or I stumble onto the issue. The last commit that worked was the YAF 2.1. The ensuing commits give me a file is corrupt error when unpacking the deploy/upgrade ZIP.

Here's the error when unpacking the ZIP.

! C:\Users\Kevin\Desktop\yafsrc\deploy\YAF-v2.0.0.0-RC1-Upgrade.zip: CRC failed in bin\YAF.Utils.dll. The file is corrupt

the YAF Utils DLL is the problem. It's not being packaged when the buildpackages.bat is executed. I'm trying to find a way to build it.

Alright...

The YAF-v2.1.0.0-RC1-Upgrade.zip does not have the YAF.Utils.dll

so I pulled the DLL from YAFNET-master\yafsrc\YAF.Utils\obj\Debug

Then I got past the assembly error issue, and encountered a new error which was some parse error of some kind. Once I put the YAF DLL's into my sample application project and did a recompile, the site is up an running.

Bed time.
