I've noticed a new chart on member pages, which shows my reputation. I've searched but can't seem to find anything about it. What is it, and how is it determined (number of five-votes, newborns sacrificed, total votes added together, etc)?

Dunno but since soapbox troll Illidiot has about + 1750[^] rep while Maunder only has 260ish[^] I don't know if it's something to be proud of or not...

right now Chris got (or has given himself) a whopping 35000, putting him far on the other side of Illidiot from where you seem to be...

OK, the numbers changed recently.
My preliminary observation says: more is considered better, I haven't seen it drop over time yet, and an approximated formula would be: 1000 * MVPyears + 100 * articles + sum of all votes received.

I just noticed in tiny print "Insider-only Preview" above the graph, and that it's not visible if you're logged out. Since we're both members of the beta test group I think Chris just got a demonstration of why govts have strict rules on marking classified documents to prevent their contents from being inadvertently released. Only using fine print in the middle of the page would not be acceptable.

This stuff isn't the fun stuff. The fun stuff is definitely clearly marked. More info soon.

Sorry about this - I actually meant to have something to show you around the time that I added that tab but some last minute checks on what our prankster database was doing stalled us a little.
Turns out the database was complaining about something completely different so the rest gets rolled out today.
Actually it's already roll out as beta. Should be easy enough to find

Seems like there is a rather elaborated definition but I am missing the purpose; what is it you want to achieve?
Where is it you want to receive our feedback? There isn't a forum where I found the details...
And it doesn't make much sense to discuss it here as most readers wouldn't have a clue.

I just did. There is a lot I'm not understanding right now, however I'm pressed for time today (and maybe the rest of the week, still have to enter something lean and extremely mean).

If, as I oftimes do, I go to my settings and then check Applications, the message telling me to click here, the 'MC_ApplicationsListLinkPlace' div is being squeezed into the div with a 'small text' class. Iz vairy oogly.

It should be better now. working on a more robust solution.
Robust == nasty workaround for IE7 and below's crap rendering.

Nope. Same effect. May I suggest that rather than putting the break after the "small text" class you put it before? by the way, I am using I.E. 8.0.6

yep I couldn't get it formatted properly, so I decided to use English on the edit.

Actually I uploaded the wrong CSS file. Can you try now?
The correct fix (for that situation) is that the tabs should be inline-block, not inline. However, that is causing the selected tab to disappear on another page in an odd way.
IE8 standards + everything else works fine
IE7 and below: broken.
As a workaround I will insert a div with clear:both for IE7--

Works fine for me.

Will that fix it for FF2 as well? (IIRC, it doesn't support inline-block either)
Maybe you should just add a popup saying that if you're still using an old browser, you don't deserve to have a private group.

As it is monday, lets keep it a simple one (actually 3 bugs):
By default the syntax colorizer recognizes strings literals by looking for double quotes, and it knows \" isn't a delimiter, however it goes astray on a simple line such as string s="This is \\"+"bad";
which yields
[1] s="This is "+"good";
[2] s="This is \\"+"bad";
[3] s="This is bad too";
bug 1:
a double backslash is not interpreted correctly: An even number of escapes doesn't affect the following character. The correct rule would be:
Double quotes are delimiters unless preceded by an odd number of consecutive backslashes.
Similar things may apply to other languages and other escape characters (just in case you decide to add a Regex forum, and LANG=REGEX some day).
bug 2:
the "inside string" state is carried from line 2 to line 3; C# does not do that (C and C++ accept this IIRC), each line needs its string literal closed correctly.
bug 3:
the real example was in one of the programming forums today (C#? NET Framework?) however I couldn't find it again, as search for \\" simply doesn't work at all. There are times full text search based on word indexing isn't good enough.

Yes, unfortunately this is an old bug that has driven me nuts but I'm going to have one of the other guys with more patience than me dig in. It's a RegEx issue.
BTW: was it you who wanted the <pre linecount="on"> option? How's this look?
