I too agree on these two points - both are measurable and should be considered and taken into consideration.
|
|
|
|
|
In keeping with the spirit of point snagging, I offer these suggestions:
1. Add 5 points each time an article's download is downloaded.
2. Add 5 points (to usual points) for each article submitted that has an embedded link, on the theory that links = depth = goodness. Add 10 points if there is a CodeProject link.
3. Add 10 points each time an article is listed as "Featured Article" on front page.
4. Add 50 points each time an article is linked to from another site (this probably means the author will have to be proactive about reporting such links).
5. Add 1 point for each image that the article displays (images = pretty = goodness).
6. CP admins publish a "wish list" of topics they'd like to see articles written about. Add 50 points for each such written article (in addition to usual points).
7. Add 50 points each time an article is updated.

I'd say 10 points or more. Or maybe 1 point per 10,000 pixels.

I will take these on consideration.

I must have VB selected as preferences, and although VB doesn't have to be the default, some default must be set to see this bug. Type in some search criteria that, when you bypass the default preferences and choose All Roles, the search criteria will return more than one page of results. When a subsequent page number is clicked (or the next or previous page links are clicked), the default role will be restored. In my case, having VB preselected as the role, and searching for VPN under all roles, I have five pages of results but can not view any but the first page. When I select any page other than the first displayed result, the VB role is re-applied, reducing the results to none. When I reapply the All Roles rule, it returns me to page one of the results, and I'm stuck with no way to view any of the other results.
Hope that made sense. Feel free to contact me if you need more details.

Found a work-around. Apparently, any role specified will be remembered, whereas the All Roles (which is blank), will not. So, select advanced search and choose all three Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. This should cover all articles, but does not, so this is an incomplete work-around, but four out of five (pages) ain't bad.

Found the issue and will update the code soon.

Dave, Dave, Dave...
How many times do you have to be told not to do any rendering by yourself. You've got to remember to leave that to the browser. If everybody was to do his/her own rendering there would be way to many incompatiblity issues.

Degraussing hasn't been documented yet in Wikipedia[^]. Seems not to work for everyone yet.

Nish and I were discussing how it gains a user many more points to answer questions over a week's time than it does do write an article during that same week, and that's basis for this suggestion.
How about awarding points for an article *view count*. Nish suggested 50-100 points for every 500 views accumulated. Of course, you'd probably have to not count views by the article's author (to keep said author from gaming the system)...
EDIT =======================
On the other hand, maybe 50 points would be a bit much... Maybe 20 points/500 views on articles, and 10 points per 500 views on tips/blogs.

And what happens why a spider gets stuck on the aritcle, like we have seen in the Q&A's?
You would have to cater for them also, and in the end it just creates an administrative nightmare i would have thought.

Spiders usually get at the better articles, and I don't think it's a common enough event to be worried about. CP also has blocks against spider-ing I am sure.
