Oh well. Enjoy your plaything then. For to the QA Forums I will not venture, and perhaps the forums are quieter because members keep pointing people to QA rather than to the forums which can be a darned site more appropriate in a lot of cases.

I'd agree with you - which is another good reason for sending people who don't know what to do to a more general purpose area. When they do know what they are doing, they will be more aware of the focus they need to decide which forum to post in.

Errr, no they won't. If they are only exposed to QA, then that's all they will use. One thing I've never seen in QA is an answer telling someone to post in a forum because it's a more appropriate location. I really don't think that QA is a more appropriate location - I'm happy to join Luc Patyn in this respect.

Off-topic article

When you approve articles you can report an article as being Off-topic. How's that? Doesn't the author decide the topic?

Personally I'd like to see the possibility to report an article as having an unwanted topic, such as illegal stuff like certain kinds of hacking, or my personal dislike, those interview questions. But then we would need some guidelines from the hamsters.

I used 'Off-topic' in cases where the content had nothing to do with CP - it wasn't a bad article, not even spam or abusive, but had nothing to do with coding. Mainly it happened with article with too much 'philosophy' in it...
However it is very rare as in most cases I use 'Extremely poor quality'...

Curious.

I recently applied, out of curiosity, to sign-up to Amazon's "Mechanical Turk" service: they sent me a "not you" message with a dramatic disclaimer: "Our account review criteria are proprietary and we cannot disclose the reason why an invitation to complete registration has been denied." I suspect it might have something to do with the country where I live in Asia. I mean ... surely ... whatever at Amazon that reviews applications doesn't read my Lounge posts ?

thanks, Bill

You need to subscribe to the Experts Advisory forum Smile | :)

I posted an explanation which I'll paste here:

Quote:
Partly it's dealing with the legal requirements in each country, and partly it's because at this point the notifications and registration require SMS access which is its own can of worms. Changes in the future will make this a moot point, but for now we're stuck with what we have and would rather launch than continue to wait

Google is working very, very hard to open this up as soon as possible. As a non-US resident myself I'm making sure they feel the angst (and they do and they don't like it either).

Bookmark management

It seems that, after many years, bookmarking works again. This is great, thanks. I've lost count of how many interesting articles I can no longer find because a bookmark was never... bookmarked.

The bookmark page can be improved, though. The categories listed only show those categories in the page rather than all categories bookmarked. So, for example, I won't see "Android" unless I happen to be on page 3 of my bookmarks where the Android articles happen to have landed. It would be best to have a proper navigation that actually lists all you have.

CP has grown and it is very difficult to find stuff some times. Bookmarking is the perfect way to get around this. Please see if it can be improved.

Thanks again and be well,

Franc

Or how about something that has all the categories listed, and clicking on one expands it to show the bookmarks in that category. (kind of like the menu bar on the left side of the site)

The bookmark system needs to be totally revamped. We're very aware of this.

There's a lot of scope for doing good.

You can use the search page to search your bookmarks. Just check the 'My Bookmarks' checkbox, and enter search term(s) or '*' for everything.

Hello,
I see I received a reply in the soap box but I did not get an email notification. Also the little icon by my name did not show I had any replies.

I got the newsletter so email is still coming through.

Thank you,
