1. Looking at the rest, there's still enough room to shrink that column without making another two-line row. Or at least it would fix a few of them.
2. Yeah, I realized that after typing it in. But it would be nice to have that format in our Reputation Page.
3. Woohoo!
4. Ahh! Did not know that. So you pulled off the Metro look, but did the Google spring cleaning for some. RIP our unknown pages!

Beautiful man, just beautiful! You can change my thread to fixed now.
Edit:
The Reps page could use the date tweak.

Is there a specific page that's slow?

Should be a lot faster now, though we're working to improve speed even more.

I thought about posting this on the Spam/Abuse Forum, but decided that since it's a more general question (doesn't fit, in my perceptions, with the other types of Posts there), to post it here.
I carefully examined the QA section of the CP FAQ before deciding to write this, but it contains no guidelines, on "Answering," or on answering appropriate, and inappropriate, behavior.
So, the question is: is it "okay" for someone who answers a question to ask the user to accept their answer, either in their answer, or in a comment they make on their own answer, even if that's done in a slightly indirect way ?
Just curious if that would be considered "abuse" ?
thanks, Bill

I think a gentle hint along the lines of
If this answers your question, please mark it accepted. Vote anyway. is OK. (I'd better think it's OK - I used to use it almost as a sig in Q&A.) But I can see why anything more demanding would give offence.
I was somewhat p****ed off this morning by a noob. (At least I think it was, the evidence is gone now.) Late last night my time he asked a "why does this blow up" question with a 50-odd line chunk of code in it and the error message. So far so good.
I spotted a probem about 10 lines from the top, and pointed it out in a comment. My intention was to convert the comment to an answer if it looked OK in the light of day, and any received comments.
I received two comments (according to the emails), one saying "good one. convert to solution" and the other from OP saying "that was it. solved"
OP then DELETED the question (with comments) so it can't go down as solved.

Perhaps there should be a set of conditions where the OP is allowed to delete the question. If not met, they can only request it be deleted by someone with sufficient "authority". I don't know what the conditions should be...

This issue of "when can user author/OP delete," is off-topic from the original post on this thread (no big deal), but I do think the issue you raise is interesting, important, and, I would suggest that you raise this issue yourself, as a top-level original post here on this forum.
I will certainly respond with several thoughts, and ideas on this issue based on my experiences with other Forums, as well my long involvement with CP.
So, while there's no absolute promise made here, you've got good odds such a thread will get at least one five vote (mine) 
best, Bill

Hi Peter, May I ask why you stopped using this phrase ?

 Getting lazy in my old age. I still drag it out occasionally, particularly if I've put a fair bit of effort into the answer. If I could set it up as a one-click boilerplate I would use it on a routine basis. (Now OG's going to remind us about how his canned messages work.  )

in my article i had some goto links to naviguate from the summary to the article content
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/294452/C-B-R
formatting is blue with over effect even on titles
summary
"...a href="#Model_Core">"
article bookmark
...a name="#Model_Core......
do i use the good markup ?
|
|
|
|
|
The ideal is <a name="#Model_Core"></a>
I'd be happy to fix it if you'd like.
Thanks,

On the homepage, there is a ton of extra whitespace horizontally.

If you choose the "fixed" layout (bottom of the page) this is corrected.
We debated internally about making the homepage fixed regardless of preference, and I'm still thinking it's the only way to get it looking as I want.

The space actually caused the horizontal scrollbar to appear, while neither mode usually show that.
It was showing that no matter what I selected (fixed was actually even worse!). I think it was a Firefox glitch of some sort, as after a reboot, the problem has vanished.

Why don't you just by a Mac or five, get yourself a pair of thickrimmed black rectangular glasses and start a lifestyle magazine. We are obviously not the audience you want.
Being forced to use "fixed" instead of "fluid" would for me be a much bigger issue for me than the "White space problem".
In all honesty, I'd like to say though, that since you have fixed the issues with the new design you have done a great job. The new design is a lot better then the old one IMHO.
I now use "Compact" with "fluid" and that looks good. I believe though that the spacing option "Tight" could be renamed to "Taking the piss" without anyone complaining.

Doesn't fix it for me - actually makes it worse (Chrome 23.0.1271.95 m).
On my setup, the problem appears to be the spacing of "Latest News"/"Latest Discussions"/"Latest Picks", which seem misaligned with the sections above.
Can I suggest a grid system layout?
