Message ID
When I post several messages in a thread, it is impossible to tell which of those messages got an upvote in my reputation list (just shows the message title). If a message ID were also shown in the reputation list, I wouldn't have to click all of them to know they are the same message.
Short Message ID
Even better would be if this message ID started from 0 for each thread (that way, I'm not comparing 12340845 to 12340945... I'm comparing 5 to 25). If you already have an ID for each message in your database (and if those ID's are generated in an identity column), this could easily be accomplished by subtracting the thread starting message ID from the message ID. Not perfect, but workable most of the time.
Message Time
Alternatively, you could show the time the message itself was posted (in addition to the time of the reputation event). Example: "13:30:23" (1:30PM and 23 seconds). That gives me an equally good point of reference (perhaps even better than the short message ID).
Mouse Hover Not Workable
Currently, I could just mouse over the message URL to see an ID, but then I can't compare two easily (that's a lot of numbers to remember).

This is a big reworking of the rep system because of the way we store and retrieve this data.
I'm going to have to say "not this month" on this one.

It seems that articles that have been deleted are getting stuck in the "Articles needing approval" window. One good case-in-point, the Utilites for Java article that was deleleted about 4 days ago has been showing up ever since.

Uhm,
I submitted a tip/trick yesterday (about 20 hours ago) and it's still nowhere to be seen. Haven't recieved an confirmation/status/etc. Am thinking that I must have done something wrong; like NOT reviewing before I posted.
There are a few of these "new method" posts here so, imho, there's evidence of continuous/contiguous conditioned stimulus aversion on the part of some computer automaton

What's the title (or URL) of the tip you submitted? I've looked at your article list and I see 3 tips, 2 of which are deleted.

Thank you very much for the prompt response.

In this very forum, when I hover over a thread-initiator's name, as well as the profile popup I get a text popup identical to that I'd get on hovering the status icon at the left of the line. [please consider this entry for the mangled English award!  ]
For example, if I hover on Indivara's name on the "Deleted blogs..." message immediately below, I see his profile AND a "Fixed" text popup.
Cheers,

We experienced a temporary SSL outage due to our certificate supplier revoking CodeProject's SSL certificates. We are still waiting to receive a full report from our supplier as to the full circumstances of this SSL outage, but in the meantime if you are experiencing the error "The server's security certificate is revoked" while using our secure pages for modifying your settings, or for logging on, then it is most likely a caching issue.
To clear SSL state open IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Content -> Clear SSL State
In general, to flush the certificate cache on a machine you use
certutil -setreg chain\ChainCacheResyncFiletime @now

This question http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/Post.aspx?aid=346823[^] has <pre> tags correctly inserted by the OP - but they show as HTML when you view the question rather than formatting the code.

I just looked at that page and the question was in "edit" mode. I added a CR and pressed the update button and it now looks fine. Something very strange going on there.
[edit]Looking again, it's still in edit mode. Weird![/edit]

Not sure if this is a bug, but I think so...
I got an email today saying Simon_Whale commented on my tip/trick: One guideline every VB.NET project should follow![^].
However, when I went to see it I noticed two things. First the new comment layout messed up older comments. The comment I seemingly made to my own tip/trick is actually a reply to the comment below it. This looks like a bug.
Second, Simon_Whale's comment wasn't there. Either he deleted it quite fast after posting it (and there was no obvious reason why he should), or it isn't visible for some reason. I can still see the upvote I got in my rep points, so my guess is I can't see it. Is this a bug or am I looking wrong?

when you click on the voting at the bottom of the tip, if loads a popup windows and I entered the message there. (sorry was feeling too lazy to enter a message that permanently showed up in the trick)

Aren't those supposed to permanently stay there too?
That reminds me... 9 out of 10 times when I use that popup window I get an exception and I've lost my message.
I think it may have to do with the length of the text, because it usually happens when I have actually got something to say

I would like to suggest the use of a more uniform template for the QA forum.
Instead of giving a person free rain on writing what ever they want, they instead would have to fill out a question form. Where key fields are mandatory for question submission.
I think this might alleviate some of the demanding one liners and the like. I have given some thought to this question and I think if you structure the question process more, then everyone benefits in the long run.
Just a thought.
[edit] i.e
1. subject/question title.
2. brief description of problem or question.
3. research and/or attempts made.
4. code snippets if any.

18 down votes in 3 minutes across many posts.
Hmmm a small penis for sure, but what response do I have?
Perhaps the -2 voter could be asked for his reasons?
I am with Mr Merrens on this one, one can be downvoted but have no recourse, anonymity is a cowardly way of addressing this.
Perhaps the administrators do not wish their own rules to be obeyed.

It is becoming tiresome. Whilst I understand that the internet is wild and free and anonymous I'd love for one of these tossers to come and tell me to my face why they downvote. Of course, that can't happen unless they happen to be in LA... 
Seriously, what is wrong with these morons?
To me thsi is simple: no voting until you've been here 6 months and made n posts and are above water, points wise. All voting requires that the name of the voter be exposed. Problem solved: it'll soon stop spurious voting.
