This ages-old trick deserves to be published - since it makes it easy to quickly show info from pretty much any other page on pretty much any Classic SharePoint page (in a SharePoint-compatible pop-up).

Can't access a web part page because of a broken web part? Yeah, that's a classic issue - and it's nicely ported into the Modern world, too! In these cases, web part page maintenance mode comes in handy!

This post describes the easiest (probably) and most straightforward way of creating a new Thread in your SharePoint (or any other .NET) server-side/desktop code.

At times you may need to allow unsafe updates for SPWeb objects in order to get your code to run. This, in SharePoint's C# full-trust code, is done by setting SPWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates to true.

This post is about fixing one of the most annoyingly unspecific errors that you can get when activating (Feature Framework) features on SharePoint - "File not found" . Whatever that might mean, right? Problem Ugh.
