So I just hit a weird issue in our program. A quick search later and it seems I'm bumping into this http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=125403 (the version I'm bugfixing is built using XE6).

The workaround listed (in my case blanking indexfieldnames in OnBeforeClose) works.

Now... imagine if this had been filed to QualityPortal instead.

I would have had to remember to search it, and maybe wouldn't have found it as Google does fuzzy searches very well. 

And due to the lower visibility it likely would have fewer comments as well...

So yeah EMB/Idera, please revisit the choice of walling up QualityPortal.

    It would make sense to make the RAD Studio (RSP) project indexable by Google. Jira's search is not that good.

    It's one of two reasons I'm not using QP at all. The second is that they still haven't fixed the HTTPS "security".
    BTW: In cast QC goes down, just saved the QC report you mentioned: http://web.archive.org/save/http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=125403

    I use it [QP, not QC]. It is the only viable option to get things noticed.

    And started a job to fetch all public QC entries into the web archive with a few seconds interval...
    It should amend the 5k entries already captures: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx*
    Most recent QC entry seems to be around 135800.
    Lets see where the job is when I get back from holidays.

    The invalid SSL certificate configuration on QP is not that great thing but it is also a statement: "I do not care about details."

    Oliver Münzberg - QP (quality.embarcadero.com) shows up green and secured in my Chrome (256-bit sha)?

    That job crashed BTW, possibly because it overloaded QC. And now QC is dead. Le sigh. On the other hand: there are about 11 thousand entries of 135-thousand in the wayback machine.
