all seems back to normal; net result is some extra points.

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.

I was working on a new version of my article scraping article, and I found that even when considering the ratings for tips/tricks and blogs, my calculated average is somewhat different than what's showed on the CodeProject My Articles page. Does the average also now include ratings from Quick Answers?
If so, this throws a rather severe kink into my code because the only way we can currently get this data is scrape the web page (since we don't yet have a web service from which we can retrieve the data).
EDIT ==================
Maybe the averages shown at the top of the page should be broken down according to item type
Averages for Articles: x.xx Tips/tricks: x.xx Questions: x.xx Answers: x.xx Blog avg: x.xx.45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Would having the download count displayed also help your article scraper?

It wouldn't "help", but it would be applicable given the intent of the code. (I know this has been an issue for you for a while.).45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

The ability to subscribe to a daily email report on article activity (views, votes, messages, etc). There are very few platinum members so this shouldn't put too much of a strain on the system, should it?
Why just Platinum members? Because they're Platinum members, of course.
BTW, this would be an option they would have to select in their profile..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Nice idea. I think any author should be able to subscribe to this.

My average article score changed, but with 49 votable items, I have no idea what was voted on to change my average (and it wasn't any of my recent ones).
Can we get either (or both) of these items:
0) a vote notification email
1) A "Recent activity" date on the My Articles (and Tips/Tricks) page
It's impossible to keep track of this stuff the way it is.
You may want to allow the member to check a box to provide this feature for a given article..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Nah. If only this stuff[^] were fixed so we can use it again...

Just build that into your article scraper - maybe a few historical graphs, per article.

Why not combine the two? Make your article scraper minimize to the tray, with notification when there has been a change?

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!

| We can't - it would be a breach of privacy. cheers,

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).

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
