Assorted Frustrations

This solution on the asp.net forum was very nice and easy to implement.  Essentially using A hidden value and control to keep track of the value, and on page load to set the active tab to the last one that was active. http://forums.asp.net/t/1964624.aspx?Maintaining+tab+position+on+post+back

If you receive this error you are probably blocking the txt file from being accessed.  In my case that particular site was blocking all txt files on the web server in IIS.  Specifically under the HTTP Features -> Request Filtering under IIS, then find the .txt extension, right click and click "Remove".   Once that restriction was removed the sites started showing some modifications properly. Before some odd things were happening like white text on white background, and inability to change any colors via the color picker menu. 

Before when things were bad around here we would commonly have database corruption.  It became almost like a monthly thing.  A couple incidents we would research what to do, and sometimes people in forums would recommned to delete the transaction log.  Which now, I am glad we never did.  It can have very bad data loss repercussions, and if you are detaching then deleting then have to go through hoops to get it working again and attachable. http://sqlinthewild.co.za/index.php/2009/06/09/deleting-the-transaction-log/ http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic730583-146-3.aspx

Not something I would normally look for so I have put it here.  Had a user on a form that was encountering very slow performance.  Turned out is was due to duplicate indexes.  Found a whole bunch of possible issues with Pinal Dave's script.  Even with our rather large database it only took a couple seconds. http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2011/07/13/sql-server-query-to-find-duplicate-indexes-script-to-find-redundant-indexes/ http://logicalread.solarwinds.com/duplicate-indexes-and-sql-server-performance-nh01/#.VX711kakwqg

A Coworker is messing with the colors of the development site and it now has an Extremely intense blue background. The footer now has a black background with brightly colored text.  I find that working on the site now is very uncomfortable and after a couple seconds my eyes start to water.  The text is also very hard to read now too. Complained to him, but he may nor may not do anything about it.  SO. Found a nice tool https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/color-that-site/?src=api that allows me to modify the site css.  I just turned down the saturation all the way down then went to settings and set the scope to "domain" and I was set!  Very nice.  Now my eyes do not water. Too bad it also does not change the site css back to the way it was.  Oh well.
