Using histograms of votes Jim Xochellis19-Apr-04 21:42 Jim Xochellis 19-Apr-04 21:42  Hi list, I have recently submitted an article[^] to the CodeProject and I have observed its votes step by step, to see the reaction of the community. I am very happy because my rating is high and the comments from the community are very encouraging. Nevertheless, I have also discovered that the article has been voted three times with 1, while almost all other votes were 5, with the exception of a couple of 4s. (37 votes till now) The above makes me think that if two articles have been voted with [5,5,5,5,5,1,1,1,1,1] and [3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3] respectively, both of them will have average rate 3, and the same popularity. Nevertheless, the votes of the first article indicate a far more interesting article, at least in my opinion. Hence, I am proposing the use of histograms of votes (MSDN is already using them) in order to provide a more accurate idea of what the community thinks about an article. I honestly believe that these histograms would be very beneficial for the readers of the CodeProject. Best Regards, Jim Xochellis New Forum?

I call it champipple." - Fred Sanford Re: New Forum? Prakash Nadar17-Apr-04 16:24 Prakash Nadar 17-Apr-04 16:24  You can post these kinda questions in operating-system/admin forum. No need for another forum for VSS. and VSS is a package, if you need help, press F1 Re: New Forum?

No need for another forum for VSS. and VSS is a package, if you need help, press F1 I'm asking... "How about a forum for database issues." you're saying... "We don't need a forum for Access. Press F1" <edit> On top of that, you yourself even asked a question about VSS in the poll forum. Why didn't you just use F1? http://www.codeproject.com/script/survey/detail.asp?survey=365&df=100&forumid=37549&fr=26#xx791908xx "I like to mix champagne and ripple.

But i was not asking for a seperate forum for that kinda question. and there is a big difference between the two. Jack Rabbit wrote: Why didn't you just use F1? My F1 key is not working.

My point wasn't whether it was the right place for you to post in, nor was it whether anyone would answer it. The first part of your original reply I took to mean "there isn't enough concern with the topic to merit it's own forum." That's fine. It's the 2nd part (the reasoning) I was referring to. You said "it's just a package, so press F1", which implies all the help you need is in the help file. (which I don't agree with BTW) Yet, you posted a question on the subject, which is a blatant contridiction of your statement. "I like to mix champagne and ripple. I call it champipple." - Fred Sanford Re: New Forum?

How about a new forum on source/version control discussions/issues? A retooling of the 'VS.NET IDE issues' forum may be a good idea.

Re: Possible (easy) way to eliminate programming questions in the lounge Tom Archer16-Apr-04 16:05 Tom Archer 16-Apr-04 16:05  How about if anyone's first post results in an entire page dedicated to telling them that programming posts should never be done in the Lounge? I really don't visit the forums enough to care, but enough ppl seemed so concerned that I thought I would post this as a possible means of *reducing* (not eliminating) the issue.

I read you were in the service and have to ask you a waaay off-topic question. My old man was in the Army (communications) and taught me the value of a meal called SOS. I'm just curious if today's Army ppl know what that is? Cheers, Tom Archer "Use what talents you possess.

Re: Possible (easy) way to eliminate programming questions in the lounge Tom Archer17-Apr-04 1:27 Tom Archer 17-Apr-04 1:27  I was in a hurry and mistyped that. I meant "can". Having been born and raised in Europe with family in the US, I'm always sensitive to currency conversion issues. In fact, when I worked for Holiday On Ice, I helped to design and implement a specific forumula to "smooth" out the flucuations in currency so that our skaters (who were from all around the world) could depend on a consistent income without worrying about these flucuations.
