The quick answers thing lists answers in the REVERSE order they are submitted. This means that the first guy with the correct answer will probably not get credit for the providing answer. It happened to me yesterday.

I expect the order of the answers to vary when they accumulate votes, putting the best answer on top. So chronology is lost, and when answers start building on or reacting on others, it becomes a complete mess.

It isn't in reverse order. At times I've noticed that when I post a reply, it is inserted somewhere in between other replies.

Thanks - will fix this.
We'll have the Top Rated tab first sort by rating then by date posted (oldest first).

Having just reviewed and article that is entirely in arabic script, I double checked the article sumission guidelines, hoping to reference some guidance that the article should be written in English. Much to my surprise, the guidelines make no statement at all about this. I think they should, since most members will reject an article in any other language, usually with remarks that this is an English language site. It would be better if this were in the guidelines.

people repeatedly claim this, however it is stated nowhere as far as I can see.

I don't. I do not mind seeing articles or posts in some other language; if that results in a better text, why "reject" it?

Not sure I've seen it explicitly stated anywhere, but it has been implicitly stated. For example, when you post an answer in Quick Answers, you are told:
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If they expected people to post in different languages, they might have stated "Understand that others may not speak your language as their primary language". Sure, they may have said "English" just because that's what the majority of users speak, but it seems pretty obvious that everything is intended to be English based. As another example, the site is entirely in English (unless there's a language setting I don't know about). Maybe somebody from CP will clarify things explicitly, but for the time being it seems pretty obvious that articles and such should be in English.
Luc Pattyn wrote: if that results in a better text, why "reject" it?
Perhaps CP wants to attract a certain target audience (English speakers), and allowing articles in other languages would lead to higher levels of "noise" (as percieved by those who speak only English). The more noise added, the more time is wasted, and the less that target audience may frequent CP.
Anyway, those are just some ideas. I'd like to see it explicitly stated somewhere how to handle those who use non-English languages (e.g., let 'em be or disallow that behavior). Also, explicitly stating it somewhere would help to encourage or prevent non-English information.

I don't mind neither, but it can be quite difficult to know if it is good/helpful/useful if you can not understand it

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I am afraid code_breaker is asking for Google Android Section.

Not sure but, aren't quick answers supposed to contain a message signature which we use in "normal" forums ? If not consider this as a suggestion to add them. If yes, then this is a bug.
[Edit] Because I can't find my signature appearing in the quick answers I gave

No. Quick answers is specifically for asking a question and having members work towards an answer. Both questions and answers are created collaboratively, meaning members can edit each other's questions and answers. There isn't as strong a concept of a post's 'owner' as there is in the forums, hence questions and answers deliberately aren't personalised as strongly as the discussion forums.

There is a button which you can be used to quote text from original post, when adding a new answer.
I did the same, but the name of the original post author did not appear in the quoted text.
I have taken the snapshot of the screen but am not sure how to attach it here.
The link to the post is here[^]

I am using Firefox 5.0:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6)
Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
When editing an article online with the online article web editor the editor runs into a problem when switching between the HTML view and the Web view.
What happens is that the Web view becomes un-editable after coming back from HTML view.
Any suggestions?

absolutely: never use online tools when investing a serious amount of time in a document; create and edit it locally, and paste a copy on-line. Which does not imply bugs in on-line tools are acceptable...

You're using FireFox 3.0.6 ("Firefox/3.0.6"). Try upgrading to Firefox 3.5.6.
