Is there a way to see downvote reasons? Gregory Gadow21-Apr-10 3:24 Gregory Gadow 21-Apr-10 3:24  I'm curious to know if this information is available to the person being downvoted. Re: Is there a way to see downvote reasons? Chris Maunder21-Apr-10 3:26 Chris Maunder 21-Apr-10 3:26  In articles, yes: a message will be posted. For others, not yet. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Is there a way to see downvote reasons? Gregory Gadow21-Apr-10 5:11 Gregory Gadow 21-Apr-10 5:11  Thanks for the info. Re: Is there a way to see downvote reasons? Corporal Agarn21-Apr-10 4:33 Corporal Agarn 21-Apr-10 4:33  I have wondered that myself. Re: Is there a way to see downvote reasons? Luc Pattyn21-Apr-10 6:11 Luc Pattyn 21-Apr-10 6:11  you never get down-voted? where are your articles?

Re: Is there a way to see downvote reasons? Corporal Agarn21-Apr-10 6:19 Corporal Agarn 21-Apr-10 6:19  No articles. I was agreeing that it would be nice to know why, as I have been down voted for things that were not even worth voting on. [tongue in cheek] May be there should be a tracker that if you down vote more that 50% of the time you automatically get points removed.[/tongue in cheek] Re: Is there a way to see downvote reasons? Luc Pattyn21-Apr-10 6:22 Luc Pattyn 21-Apr-10 6:22  I have always advocated a system where one has to earn a voting budget, maybe by writing articles, posting replies, or voting a range of different values; IMO people should not be allowed to vote 1 (or 5) all the time.

Re: Is there a way to see downvote reasons? Corporal Agarn21-Apr-10 6:34 Corporal Agarn 21-Apr-10 6:34  Actually most of my votes are 5 as I usually do not vote when I feel it is below that. I do once in a great while vote 1 but try not to do that. I normally hang around the lounge and you do not need to be an expert to vote. I did just vote a five for a quick answer, again since I am not an expert I try and only vote on things I am somewhat sure about. Marking Answers in Quick Answers Tony Richards21-Apr-10 2:23 Tony Richards 21-Apr-10 2:23  Hi, Is there a way to mark an answer entered by the question author as 'The Answer'? Just seen it in this question http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/74589/How-to-query-DNS-nslookup-SOLVED-Answer-2.aspx?msg=3446513#xx3446513xx[^] and the author's solution (while good given the available features) seems less than ideal. Tony Re: Marking Answers in Quick Answers Chris Maunder21-Apr-10 2:32 Chris Maunder 21-Apr-10 2:32  Is the big green button marked "Accept Answer" not enough? Is the wording of that button ambiguous or unclear? any suggestions? cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Marking Answers in Quick Answers Tony Richards21-Apr-10 3:02 Tony Richards 21-Apr-10 3:02  Sorry Chris, the poster said he couldn't do it, and I definitly didn't think I could. Re: Marking Answers in Quick Answers Chris Maunder21-Apr-10 3:14 Chris Maunder 21-Apr-10 3:14  I just confirmed you can't - which makes no sense because going through the code it seems you definitely have the rights to do this. I'm adding this as a bug. cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Pasting link doesn't work (again) Tom Deketelaere20-Apr-10 23:06 Tom Deketelaere 20-Apr-10 23:06  Seems to be server bound I reply'd in the lounge and pasted 2 links they appeared as plain text in the edit box (I had to select the link and click the 'link' or 'link[^]' buttons) But when I went to edit the message (to test it) the links got auto formated (like they should) on pasting Fortunately I checked the server when the auto formating didn't work Web20 is in need of a good kicking Re: Pasting link doesn't work (again) DaveAuld21-Apr-10 0:04 DaveAuld 21-Apr-10 0:04  Tom Deketelaere wrote: Web20 is in need of a good kicking Chris appears to have stopped kicking the servers, so chooses just to throw them out of the window now.

Re: Pasting link doesn't work (again) Chris Maunder21-Apr-10 3:22 Chris Maunder 21-Apr-10 3:22  Which message was it (or more accurately - what links?). I'll test it my end. Also: what Browser/OS? cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Pasting link doesn't work (again) Tom Deketelaere21-Apr-10 7:12 Tom Deketelaere 21-Apr-10 7:12  This message: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=3446257#xx3446257xx[^] Same links worked tho on different server so... Browser: Chrome 4.1 Re: Pasting link doesn't work (again) Chris Maunder21-Apr-10 11:42 Chris Maunder 21-Apr-10 11:42  The only way I can replicate the non-inlinkerate working is if I prefix the URL by non-URL stuff. eg pasting "www.codeproject.com" works. Pasting "The link is www.codeproject.com" doesn't (and this is a known limitation). cheers, Chris Maunder The Code Project | Co-founder Microsoft C++ MVP Re: Pasting link doesn't work (again) Tom Deketelaere21-Apr-10 12:04 Tom Deketelaere 21-Apr-10 12:04  Weird I just copy/paste the link straight out of the URL bar. It's not that big of a annoyance (at least not to me) so don't lose any sleep over it I'll see if I can get more information if it happens again. Re: Pasting link doesn't work (again) 1.21 Gigawatts21-Apr-10 4:06 1.21 Gigawatts 21-Apr-10 4:06  Hey, I had the same problem with Web19! I tried the same link with Web23 - and it worked fine. BTW: Using the latest version of Chrome.

Error or Design? Bug or Feature? Not really important, of course, but just one of those little things that make you go "hmmm?" ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave OT DaveyM6920-Apr-10 23:54 DaveyM69 20-Apr-10 23:54  OT: I posted a code sample for your gradient issue the other day. As I edited my original answer (which you edited to reply to me) I'm not sure if you get an update notification mail or not. Dave If this helped, please vote & accept answer! Binging is like googling, it just feels dirtier. (Pete O'Hanlon) BTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy.

Let me make that less odd sounding then, If I respond to an answer does that count as a message, Never mind I will go and check ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.
