I still don't think you understand. This isn't about my article scraper. It's about the site letting an article author know when a vote has been cast (kind of like letting him know that a message has been posted)..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Any chance when we click on a member's location we can see all members from that region? I'd be interested to see the breakdown of CP users. Thanks!

In what sense? We can see everyone's location individually. I'm just talking about statistics.

You wrote "we can see all members from that region"
I took that to mean a list of all members within a certain radius or political boundary of that member.
Just member counts? I'm sure we could do it, but I'm not sure of the value.cheers,

My bad. Although I meant to see all members from any country, seeing just the total members would also be interesting. No value really, except graphs are pretty.

I think that difference between <h2> and <h3> is too small. They are bold, the same color, the same margin and nearly the same size. The only difference is small difference in size. I know that everybody see this difference when comparing h2 to h3, but my dream is to see whether it is top paragraph or nested paragraph, without comparing.
h2 { font-size: 13pt; }
h3 { font-size: 11pt; }
If it will not change then can I propose use h3 for articles without nested structure, h3 and h4 for articles with two levels of paragraph and h2, h3, h4 for big articles with 3 levels of paragraph.
And my sugestion: <h4>'s margin-bottom set to 0px will not work if margins of <p> are left default. (most of users use <p> after <h2..4>)
h2
h3
h4
<p>paragraph</p> has margin after h4
h4
text without <p> has no margins with h4.modified on Monday, February 22, 2010 3:20 AM

It would probably be valuable to make the FAQ sections linkable. For example, when somebody posts a question about the voting system, I'd like to just reply with a link to the section of the FAQ that says "How are ratings calculated?". One way of doing this would be to make the title of each section a link that is directed toward itself. For example, the section I mentioned might have HTML that looks like this:
<a name="RatingCalculation" href="http://www.codeproject.com/info/FAQ.aspx#RatingCalculation">How are ratings calculated?</a>
When I click it, that would put the following URL in my address bar:
http://www.codeproject.com/info/FAQ.aspx#RatingCalculation
I could then copy and paste that into a message to link somebody to that section of the FAQ. In IE, I could also just right click the link without navigating to it and select "Copy Shortcut" to get the URL.
I think this would make it easier for people who respond to such questions and it may make everybody more aware of the FAQ (maybe some people will actually read parts of it).

Excellent idea.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

Excellent idea indeed! Added to the TODO list!

[New start line]
[An insertion BEFORE the modified flag is set]
I noticed something odd when editing a post. It dropped the last paragraph.
I'm going to post this here to see if I can reproduce it.
Aha; it did it.
1) Create a post with multiple paragraphs. Do not end with CR (may not be required, but it's what I did)
2) Let time pass
3) Edit post
4) add a new comment AT START of comments
5) Post message
6) Click EDIT
7) The last paragraph will be gonemodified on Thursday, February 18, 2010 4:39 PM

If I select 'Minor change' does the change still count for editor points?
If yes, I think there is something wrong since I edited 3 or 4 questions yesterday, checking this box and my editor status hasn't changed.
If no all is well
|
|
|
|
|
All is well
You only get points for non-minor edits.

Ah good to know
Thought I was losing my mind, although that might have happened already

Yes, mine went to one line a few days back, I'm on IE8... I just changed my sig to a single line and continued on!!

There is something odd happening with < and > characters, that seems to be intermittent.
[edit]possibly only in the c# forum[/edit]
First time I noticed, it seemed that the setting "encode "<" (and other HTML...)" did not make any difference - they were not being replaced. So I tried it again, to report it here and it worked - finger trouble I assumed.
Now I try again, in a different message:
Press Code block, paste a code fragment with no special chartacters. The final </pre> is replaced with "& l t ; / p r e & g t ;" but only in the C# forum - not here.
If it is relevant, I use am using Google Chrome, but I haven't noticed this before today.You should never use standby on an elephant. It always crashes when you lift the ears. - Mark Wallace

The whole site is freezed  from 2 hours tell now nothing was added and the timing on the post is freezed too. last post was 2 hours ago and it still tell it was just posted on the timing  Is it a site bug or something from my side? This is the first time I face this problem.

No, it is a timing thing. There are very few posters in the middle of the Pacific!
I notice in the morning there a lot of Asian Posters, then by 10.00am (Local Time) The Europeans are joining in and the Asians are dropping out, and by 3.00 pm the American lot are getting here.------------------------------------
I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave
