But don't you think, the no. is too big for some medium level or small level articles/technical blog posts?

By current trends yes, I do think the number is too big. But we're getting the word out. The Lounge knows, and now Site Bugs / Suggestions is catching moderation fever. Next week we'll do a newsletter mention, and see if that rallies the community.
Don't worry, I won't let blog entries and tips & tricks flounder too long. Big Hamster is watching.

Sean,
This is a very good initiative. 
But I would say this workflow needs to be redesign based on the membership level / Reputation Points of Authors .
Author who has certain number of article and enough Author Reputation why they do needs this filter ? Assume, Sacha posted an killer article and he also needs to wait for 5 person to review and approve his article. 
Coming back to Technical Blog post, If the post is feeded from blog which has already been received from Code Project Associate blog then why these numbers of approval level ?
It was Just my thoughts !

You really think it will take long for 5 silver or above members to approve an article from Sacha?

Good Day Chris.
Sacha was just an example. My thought was to put some Reputation points along with the approval workflow.

Then why not increasing the moderator level. like only 2 Platinum member ?
And for Tech blog, if the Author is Platinum, any one platinum apart from the author ?

We've had platinum (gold?) members go on univoting spree's in the lounge; what makes you think they're not capable of idiot approval for articles as well?
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Dan,
I was not talking about the capability at anywhere and not that was my intention. My suggestion was, while setting multiple level of approval for an, taking consideration of Reputation point.

We have thousands of silver (and above) members. I prefer to have a decent number of members approve (or remove) articles than just one or two, and it should be a non-issue once more members start reporting and approving articles.

That's long overdue. Thanks.

Perfect.

Maybe a popup that says "N more approvals needed for publication."
|
|
|
|

Yes, that will be a good way to tell the moderator that X nos. of approval still needed for that. Else, new moderators (like me) will unnecessarily try to approve it from different browsers and then will come to bugs/suggestions forum.

I don't like the idea of a popup, but perhaps the text should be shown next to the approve button and updated when its clicked.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Whatever.... they will decide the proper way but that's a good suggestion. Also, this should be visible to the authors saying that "x of y approvals pending"... What do you say? BTW, I am not happy with the current approval system.

It seems the clever code forum has suffered an attack of message deletion. Of 5 threads, 4 look broken, missing even the first post.
I don't know if this is an issue or just some post deletion, but I think it deserves a look.

I think it's because of the date filter, which filters per message rather than per thread. The result does indeed look confusing.

Exactly. If I change the date to 1 year, all the missing posts appear again.
Thank you.
P.D. It does look weird.

Kudos on getting the email fixed for those of us who weren't getting the News and Articles.
So what was the issue?
Also, if someone adds a bookmark or gains points at a lower reputation position, and then loses the points later at a higher position (i.e., removes bookmark), does it remove based on a new weight or is it removing exactly what was added? Not sure why this occurred to me.

The email issue was just a matter of progressively hunting down all the little things that could have been causing a problem.
Some of the things we were doing wrong:
- sending unattended emails from noreply@codeproject.com from mail servers that were on the maillist.codeproject.com domain. Changed to noreply@maillist.codeproject.com.
- We were sending some forum notifications through our main mail server instead of using the forwarding servers, and then during the move to Peer1 hosting we had our main email server in the office temporarily. This was causing serious concerns for some mail senders when they pinged back to the originating server to see who it was
- We changed from using [CodeProject] to CodeProject | as the prefix for CodeProject subject lines. A tiny change but nonetheless one that helped a few overzealous spam filters.
- Provided a more comprehensive (and centralised) bounceback address
- Updated our SPF records
I think they were the main ones.

Please, please, can we have the Q&A "View Unanswered questions" list sorted by date again?
I know I asked before, and it's probably a pain, but the list is currently completely useless, and it gets hard to see questions that still need answers in the "New" questions list as they get bombed to page 6 or so very quickly!
Grovel, grovel, licky hamster boot. (On second thoughts, not the last bit).
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.
