I was heavily vited last night for this[^] and received 5  's. Looking at my rep history the votes do not appear anywhere.
[Okay, I'm being a Rep-Whore but I am so close to 100k, I think it's allowed.]
[clarification for Fat*]
I'm being a bit of a slut over it because I'm approaching 100k, but that is not the point. If there's a genuine bug then low-rep bunnies may be loosing out and to be honest the [guestimated] 100 points missing will not effect my standing, but it will effect newer members.
This is a community[^] after all and working together is what has made this site rock.
Vilmos stoopid, nothing to see, please move along.

The system stops giving you rep points after 15(?) up-votes on forum messages (and stops deducting points after 15(?) down-votes). Chris can verify the number of votes. Personally, I think the cap should be removed for up-votes.

Thanks John, I just checked [should have done so earlier] and yes it's capped at 25 each way.
I will STFU about it forthwith.

There should be a limit on giving, but not receiving (as I remarked to my wife the other evening).

Chris,
I think there is value in putting a small banner above the message area while articles are in moderation process that explains that any messages contained are only visible during the moderation process and will be removed if/when the article is approved for publication.
For example, see this article[^] and the comments I have left to the author, this would clarify this situation to any new authors.

I was going through my bookmarks.
I saw an option that says "publicly recommend".
Any idea what that means? How can I see bookmarks that others have recommended?

Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos.
It's because English is my primary language, not my first language.
My first languages are C# and Java.
VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language.
Indonesian came as my third language.
My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done!

Every time I come back to the site (new browser session) it goes straight to Normal view and last 3 months. Just started a while ago.
I usually view "thread" view with last day as the settings.
[edit] working now. I swear it wasn't working right for about 30 mins. 
Just along for the ride.

Sorry - my fault. I was impersonating your account to see how bookmarks were working and inadvertently changed your forum settings while re-checking your message.

Not a problem. Impersonate all you want. You may feel like taking a shower though after a few minutes.
Thanks for the quick response.

You mean when Sean doesn't have them filled with body oil?

A Coder Interview With Paul Griffin[^]
And I distinctly remember writing that stuff!

Expect a visit from Sean to sing the "Very Sorry Song", attired in his wonderful mankini/oil combo.
