Hi, I am unable to approve any article. Tried several times but was not able to do so. It's only showing "Reported 1" and then nothing happens. Is it a bug or am I missing something.

After 5 reports total (approved or reported as not approved) the entry will be approved depending on if the total votes swings that way.
Code Project Community, Assemble?

Does no one read[^]
Where would be the best place to announce these things? A CodeProject blog? My blog? Big announcement boxes on the homepage?

Few do miss... spare rest all of us, who did read it.

But don't you think, the no. is too big for some medium level or small level articles/technical blog posts?

By current trends yes, I do think the number is too big. But we're getting the word out. The Lounge knows, and now Site Bugs / Suggestions is catching moderation fever. Next week we'll do a newsletter mention, and see if that rallies the community.
Don't worry, I won't let blog entries and tips & tricks flounder too long. Big Hamster is watching.

Sean,
This is a very good initiative. 
But I would say this workflow needs to be redesign based on the membership level / Reputation Points of Authors .
Author who has certain number of article and enough Author Reputation why they do needs this filter ? Assume, Sacha posted an killer article and he also needs to wait for 5 person to review and approve his article. 
Coming back to Technical Blog post, If the post is feeded from blog which has already been received from Code Project Associate blog then why these numbers of approval level ?
It was Just my thoughts !

You really think it will take long for 5 silver or above members to approve an article from Sacha?

Good Day Chris.
Sacha was just an example. My thought was to put some Reputation points along with the approval workflow.

Then why not increasing the moderator level. like only 2 Platinum member ?
And for Tech blog, if the Author is Platinum, any one platinum apart from the author ?

We've had platinum (gold?) members go on univoting spree's in the lounge; what makes you think they're not capable of idiot approval for articles as well?
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Dan,
I was not talking about the capability at anywhere and not that was my intention. My suggestion was, while setting multiple level of approval for an, taking consideration of Reputation point.

We have thousands of silver (and above) members. I prefer to have a decent number of members approve (or remove) articles than just one or two, and it should be a non-issue once more members start reporting and approving articles.

That's long overdue. Thanks.

Perfect.

Maybe a popup that says "N more approvals needed for publication."
|
|
|
|

Yes, that will be a good way to tell the moderator that X nos. of approval still needed for that. Else, new moderators (like me) will unnecessarily try to approve it from different browsers and then will come to bugs/suggestions forum.

I don't like the idea of a popup, but perhaps the text should be shown next to the approve button and updated when its clicked.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

Whatever.... they will decide the proper way but that's a good suggestion. Also, this should be visible to the authors saying that "x of y approvals pending"... What do you say? BTW, I am not happy with the current approval system.

It seems the clever code forum has suffered an attack of message deletion. Of 5 threads, 4 look broken, missing even the first post.
I don't know if this is an issue or just some post deletion, but I think it deserves a look.

I think it's because of the date filter, which filters per message rather than per thread. The result does indeed look confusing.
