Apologies for not getting back to you earlier.
Our pan for this is to allow you to go in an edit your "edited" articles online and to have those edits create a new article version that will be in the "pending" state until an editor checks and approves. You'll be able to re-edit this pending update as often as you like.
Our reason for this is that once we've gone over an article to edit and polish we want to ensure that you're readers will always have a polished version of your article to view. Some authors edit our polished version and kill the formatting (or grammar, or spelling, or...) and degrade the experience. Doing it this way means you get the convenience of online editing and the readers get a good viewing experience.
This also speeds up the update process because in most cases approving online edits will be a very quick process.

Went to the who's-who page, typed my username (probably mis-spelled/punctuated) in the box, hit the tit and got this plain text response:

 If I was a hamster and saw a viewstate like that, I'd get indigestion too!

It's always an error to "hit the tit" as you say...
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

We see this occasionally and the response from Microsoft[^] is that it's an intermittent issue with our older Win2003 servers. They are not long for this world.

Thanks. We are experiencing intermittent viewstate errors on my employer's website. This may very well help us track it down.

Aren't we supposed to get points for approving an article/tip/blog? The reason I ask is that it's not in the FAQ, and I don't seem to be getting points for doing so.

We haven't had a chance to add that bit in yet - it's dependant on the reworking of the approval system so it takes 5 votes, not 1, for an article to pass muster.
This is, unfortunately, one of those things we won't be able to retoactively add points for, so for now consider the warm glow of Karma as your reward.

I don't usually expose my karma for the benefit of just anyone. Maybe if you had tits...

This is the current configuration setting for my message forum, but eventhough "Active?" and "Users can reply to messages?" are checked (denoted by the Xs) nobody seems to be able to see the Reply link at the bottom of my message. I've had ThatRaja try it twice but to no avail.
X Active?
Closed?
Read Only?
Private?
Allow message rating?
Users can post new messages?
X Users can reply to messages?
Allow Anonymous posts?
Blog format?
Requires Confirmed Email to participate?
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks!

Well that about explains it. Thank you very much!
A message that I've removed is still visible to me, is this by design?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, only you can see it, but it is not visible to others.

No DD, I can see that here[^]

Ha-ha! Just kidding! 
Actually I'd like to suggest a new message type icon for "recipes". Maybe a bowl with a spoon? Something like that.

|
|
Or a packet with 2 lines of instructions on it?
What sort of situation are you thinking?

As we have a Lounge for general chat, shouldn't we have a Kitchen for all the cookery entries?
|
|
|

I was just thinking that: Coder's Cuisine or something, to prove we're not all pizza and Mountain Dew.

Gasp!!! Do you really think Chuck Norris would hang out in a wanky forum called Coder's Cuisine?
I think not!
If we can talk about things like unfritzing a TV and soccer [puke] and cricket [double puke] in the lounge, then a recipe or two fits right in. At least eating is something everyone does, and is totally KSF.
