Not sure if that's one from developermedia or something through google, but looks like somebody took a screen shot of a word document and didn't bother to remove the formatting/spell check hints...

Where did you see this ad? On an article on CodeProject?
I'll let the AdOps team know. Thanks for the heads-up.

It shows up on the side in the Q&A section, above the Top Experts panels.

The timestamps on reputation points seem to be 1 hour earlier than when they actually occurred (at least here in PDT). For example, when I post a comment, it shows up as posted 1 hour earlier. Not a big deal of course. But in case you feel like taking a look.... This comment will appear to be posted at 11:18 AM, but really it's 12:18PM here.

Are you in daylight saving hours? I think theres a box you can tick in the settings when you select your time zone.
|

Yes, it is dst here, and I do have the box checked in my settings. So that appears not to be working.
On a separate but related note, why would you need a "Are you currently in Daylight Savings Time?" checkbox? Wouldn't that require the user to update his settings twice a year? Other sites don't require this that I know of, and I'd think that local time offset from UTC (including any local daylight savings time offsets) would be readily available.

Not sure if this is really a good idea or not, but figured I post it here for discussion at least. I sometimes feel bad when a newbie asks a question in quick answers and gets voted down because they haven't tried google yet or they didn't include their code. These downvotes do not always include a comment that explains why. I imagine that the newbie might get discouraged and decide not to try posting again because of down votes. Perhaps newbies could get temporary immunity? Like the first five questions they ask cannot be downvoted. Or for their first month of being a code project member the questions cannot be downvoted?...just a thought.

But in that case, questions can still be reported (as "Unclear or Incomplete" for example). If a question of a new user gets closed, he might also get discouraged (and removing the report flag for the first 5 posts is a bad idea, then we wouldn't be able to report spam).
So it will still be the same: you can't downvote -> you report as "Unclear or Incomplete" -> question gets closed after 3 reports -> user gets discouraged.
Another problem: in cases of downvoting the user could know that his question was bad and then he can learn which questions are good and which are bad. If you disable downvoting for a month, then a new user can keep posting very bad questions and then he doesn't know that his questions are bad.

I agree about not taking off the report flag...I never meant to suggest that THAT should be removed.
With regard to your second paragraph, I think that's exactly the scenario that I'm thinking of. But I disagree that a downvote "teaches" the newbie that they have a bad question. It's not as constructive as posting a comment that explains what the question is missing. And if downvoting were shutdown for a month, I'm pretty sure a newbie would still get the message via comments. We don't seem to be shy to patronize posters don't google first or include their code in the question.

You're right, new users can get the message via comments, but there're still some other points:
- The first post of new users can be more than a month later than they created an account.
- If you disable downvoting for the first 5 posts, then perhaps some new users stop posting questions after they've posted 5 questions, because they've fear of getting downvoted.
- People will report a bad question faster because they can't downvote it. I think closing a question is more discouraging than getting downvoted.

An initial downvote, even after several consequent upvotes lift the score to 4.94 keeps the post coloured grey
An initial Upvote does not keep it green though after several downvotes
It is a paradox that paradoxes would actually exist in reality.
That means of course that they don't exist.
However, they do!

Caching.
We are, at this very moment, getting some newer, better caching servers installed. One by one these caching issues will disappear.

It would seems strange to me if it were to be caching - I saw this on 2 several years old posts as well...

I've recently got big boost in author reputation. When inspecting, it seems I've got few times 100 point for publishing of an older article when I made some small editation. Actually I've just added a link to new article in the same article series to the older ones. I mean I do not remember to get the same for older edits of the same kind. Also consider the amount of work for creating new article or so just minor edit is incomparable, still they are rewarded the same. So, is it intended or is it a bug in the reputation system?

I noticed that Smitha Vijayan really improved my latest article. Can somebody pass on a big thank you - and perhaps a bunch of ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) ?
