If someone's submission fits better as a Tips & Tricks post than an article, the comments and votes are typically unkind.
Perhaps when the "convert to tip" becomes available the views can carry over. I'll suggest it

Yeah but this one was rated quite high (based on Google cache). Also it was not that small either. There are smaller articles on this site. But yeah, people can be pretty asinine when it comes to commenting on other people's articles, so I get what you mean

It seems he has two accounts. We'd better start over
Yes, every time an article is deleted an e-mail should be sent. It is possible he didn't get that e-mail
Moving forward, we'll make it a policy for editors to enter a note as to why an article was deleted, if that article has been around awhile (like this one)
Also, the article is restored, I don't see what was wrong with it

Exactly what I was thinking yesterday. Whoever deleted it made a mistake!
Thanks for restoring it, Sean.

The main home page of CodeProject doesn't seem to be working.
I have tried F5 and CTRL-F5 just in case but to no avail. I noticed it yesterday when the Lounge Latest List wasn't updating when new posts where submitted. Left it over night, but it is still the same this morning.

Working fine for me

Strange.........
In the Article List, the top of the shop is;
A Type Safe generic Pointer, Update 2 Hrs Ago
it was actually the first article updated on 20th Feb.
In the Lounge list, top item is;
A scene from wizard the oz
Thats from Ages ago.......
And my filter list is set for all topics.

Hmm - mine is worse!
Articles:
nHydrate ADO.NET Generator 7 hrs ago (new) by Christopher R Davis
Resource file to JavaScript object 10 hrs ago (new) by Adel Kamel
fastJSON 19 hrs ago (new) by Mehdi Gholam
The Lounge list is the same.
I assumed mine was working because the latest survey is both there and updating.

Are you sure.....i mean really sure? Thats what Griff thought to begin with as well, see above.

I'm getting the same, the lounge latest list hasn't updated in over 20hrs and the list of articles always starts with "A Type-safe Generic Pointer".

Looks like the caching app took advantage of my travel day to take a day off. Back now, and it seems to be working.

Reading through Q&A, and voting, seems to be a bit underappreciated.
Some people put a lot more effort into answering questions than many OPs’ seems to put into both posting their initial questions and responding politely by voting, and possibly marking the questions as answered.
Answerers often get down voted just because the OP didn’t like the answer, not because the answer was wrong.
At other times several members answers the same question, giving similar answers at the same time. If I think their right, I feel that giving “my 5” to all of them is the respectful and proper thing to do.
If I just wanted to collect points, I could stick to just answering questions, largely by practicing my google-fu skills.
So please let us show our appreciation of the efforts made by other members without banging our heads into restrictions on voting to often
Regards
Espen Harlinn

Someone gave you a 3 for this, I countered it with a 5.
BTW I totally agree. I often specifically spend some time going through answers and voting 5s for the good ones. And I've often noticed that you do that too.
I think doing that is equally important as it helps future readers of these threads to identify the better answers, recommended by people who know better.
So thanks a lot for your efforts Espen, both in providing good answers, and in voting up the better answers from other people.

Nish,
How would you notice that a specific member has gone through some answers and 5 voted them?
How can you tell who has voted for a post?

I can't. But most of us (including Espen) add a comment explaining why we voted. Example, "voted 5, best answer so far, propose this as answer". This comment is as important as the vote because the comment adds weight to the vote specially since it indicates that the comment comes from an active member who is known to post good solid answers (people like Espen or SA, Sandeep, Manfred etc.).

I totally agree and appreciate it. 5!

Just voted you a 5. I'm sorry I had to, but I guess you realize now that downvoting is Codeproject's dirty little secret. Really, there is absolutely no need to downvote anyone or anything. If a post obviously violates site rules (spam or racist or personally threatening), it should be removed, and anyone can click on Vote to remove message. If an article is very poor (or tries to sell something), there is the Report button.
You say "Answerers often get down voted just because the OP didn’t like the answer". Unfortunately, that is a very generous viewpoint. There is often no reason at all for the downvote; or maybe the downvoter is just having some fun, and doesn't care what your answer is; or maybe somehow you have offended someone and he is "getting even".
In any case, like Nish says, we do appreciate your answers, and I hope you keep a positive attitude about this situation, until we can eliminate the downvoting entirely.

I am all for this.
Either vote a 5, or mark as abuse. There is no need for a down vote!
