Well the author could branch into a new article every time he releases a really major update. That way people who use it can give him a deserving vote once again. And the old versions remain archived too.
I've experienced this in my articles when I update them to a newer version of VS or .NET. Someone will mail me asking if I still have thd old version! So archiving older versions is not that bad an idea.

Sure, you sometimes need old versions - that is service too! But that way you are losing all the previous updates notes (after all this is your decision), and will the older versions contains all bug fix ? Even for you it is a difficult point.
Well, it is only a suggestion. Because I get fustrated when I have already given somebody a 5 and I think the article deserve more. Also I generally don't post kudos comments. Not that I don't want to cheer on authors but I prefer useful technical comments.

While I agree that sometimes I too want to give an author an 11, I feel the current system is the simplest and fairest.

Answered in the lounge:
If you can't remember your password, then if you sign out (or better just visit a different computer to do this) then there is a "Lost password" link to the right of the log in box at the TRHC of the screen.
If you click it, it takes you here: Code Project: Send password[^] and it should all be obvious from there!

this i have done and i have already recieved the temporary password. I am able to login using temporary password but when i want to change the password after that i am unable to do so...

When you log in using the temporary password, right click on your username in the TRHC of any page, and select "My Settings".
Enter your new, desired password in both the boxes "Password" and "Password confirm", then press the "Save my Settings" button at teh bottom of the screen. Should be job done!

I just tried it and it worked fine for me - can you try again, and note what happens at each stage?

I tried changing my password too but not working as well. I fill up the Password and Confirm Password text box then click on Save My Settings. It then redirect me to an error page.

... but the navigation links at the top of the lounge have a space missing. FirstPrev Next.
They still work fine, but next time someone is ferreting about in there?

Yeah, but that's only true on the first page. (And, in fact, the same for this forum). So it's sort of like a double indicator that First==Prev.

Never considered that.

I know this is the third thread about it, but they really do need to be put back into their own tabs again. I was perusing the latest "Articles" and went on a 1-voting spree because all of the "articles" were too short and had no source download. By the time I reached thabout the 20th "article by the same author, I realized they were *BLOG ENTRIES*! I had to go back and unvote on all of his stuff.
This really is a change for the worse, guys.

You found a way to unvote? I'd like to know how that goes... (in fact I would like to have a way to undo every voting, bookmarking, moderating, and maybe even reporting action).
PS: I agree.

Deleting your "Reason for my Vote of 1" message also deletes the vote itself (at least I think it does).

Yes, that should work as your vote pertains to some article/tip/blog but is associated with your message, which you can delete as long as it is a leaf message. Under most circumstances the vote/bookmark/moderation is associated with something you can't delete...

I don't think it does that. If you don't want to vote a 5, vote a 3. That will at least remove the down vote.

For me, the bigger problem (that I've already communicated) is the fact that proper articles will now suffer from a visibility perspective. I mean, it sucks that I can spend 2 weeks on an article only for it to be blown off the front page by someone blogging about the release of a new service pack for visual studio (which probably took him 10 minutes). Not trying to say all blogs suck, but the nature of blogs is different from that of articles.

You have absolutely right.
I'm thinking about my next article, but now I have some doubts:
- How may time should I spend for it?
- Which is the best place to address my readers?
I don't spend days (or even weeks) in an article, for such a small presentation time slot.
In my opinion changes like this increase the content quantity, but decrease the overall quality. That's a pity.
That's maybe also a problem of a big community like Code Project. It's a challenge to provide such different information, from a Tip to an in-depth article, and satisfying all stakeholders.

I don't see how the duration of or manner in which an article is displayed on the front page would have any relationship to the amount of time you spend writing an article, or how much effort you put into it in terms of quality.

I write articles to support so much people as possible. And Code Project is the optimal platform to do it.
The front page it's the best place to announce an article, which can be measured by the view counter.
This applies to the 'Articles' section and during the first two weeks, also for the 'Latest Best Picks' section.
So, for me it's a question of relationship between 'how much to investigate' vs. 'how much is the benefit for the community'.
