See here. Note that my answer has the most 5-votes and is an accepted answer. There are some answers that have no votes. For some reason, my answer is at the bottom of the list. Seems like a bug.

It was sorting by the date that answers were accepted. I've changed this to sort by whether or not an answer is an "accepted answer", and then by rating.
Entries are cached, so changes may take a few minutes to propagate.

Looks like you were doing some testing:
4 Apr 2011 1:17 PM Answer Accepted (undo) Authority Article C++ or C# in calculations -25
4 Apr 2011 1:17 PM Answer Accepted Authority Article C++ or C# in calculations 25
4 Apr 2011 1:10 PM Answer Accepted (undo) Authority Article C++ or C# in calculations -25
I can haz reputation points back?
Otherwise, looks good.

The person asked for an opinion which means there can, by definition, be now correct answer (or, alternatively, every answer is correct - but I prefer to accepted answers be the definitive answer)

It doesn't go away unless you mouse over someone else's ID, and then it doesn't go away until... I think you get the idea. It does go away if you go to another page, but only until you hover another user ID.

Beta testing...
Works fine on Firefox 4.0 (Windows 7 / Windows XP)
Works fine on IE 8 (windows XP)
Works fine on IE 9 (Windows 7) (actually superfast than firefox)
And please add a comma (,) in the Reputation Points.

Also, as you mentioned it, I think it is too 'flicky' when you are mousing around.
A short delay should stop it from being annoying.
Try going to your name at the top right and get a piccy up and you are annoyed.

Less than useless. it actively interferes with voting. I wanted to give your post a 5, but the viting link was blocked by someone's picture.
This feature should be optional; preferably opt in.

Yes - this is due to an issue with jQuery so I've made the pop-up optional. My Settings -> Forums.

I just noticed that if you mouse over a user icon in the forum it creates a object showing their profile picture over the forum. This was incredibly obnoxious when intelitext came up with the idea, and is just as horrid when anyone else steals it from the cess pit where it was cast.
Is there a switch to turn it off, or do I need to start using ABP to prune the sites DOM of blight?

If you logout, if will turn off. I mean browse the site anonymously...

It's been turned off by default, and enable under the "Forums" tab of your settings page.

Just when into my profile and clicked Comments[^], when I noticed the title for the page is missing. It just displays the URL in the titlebar instead.

Hi,
If I now search via the Lounge-specific search-box for a keyword like "Nokia," I get results that are not sorted by date, and I don't see any facility to sort them by date.
Similarly, if I use the more "top-level" search box on CP, and click the radio-button to limit the search to "Messages," I also get the same list, and no ability to sort by date.
On a practical level how I experience this as a "deficit" is: let's say I want to make a statement on the Lounge about the recent MS Nokia deal: but, first, I want to see if there's already a recent thread that discusses that topic. Searching on "Nokia" gives me a total of 162 "hits," and that's a lot of pages to work through to try and see if there's a recent thread.
If there's a technique I'm missing here, that's already implemented, I eat these words, and humbly beg you to alert me to it.
thanks, Bill

At the top left of the search screen is an area "Search Options" with "Sort by" being the first option.

Good Grief ! Apologies, Chris M., and Dave A., and everyone else who wasted time reading this.
I must be going blind, or this must be early Alzheimer's, not to have noticed that !
I EAT those words (taste of "Humble Pie:" yucky).
best, Bill

You've raised a big question, though: why did you miss it? I don't for a second think you're blind. Something about the UI made it a blind spot for you.
How can we improve it?

I too missed it, so much so that I hadn't used the search facility since it changed for this reason.
As to why it is a blindspot, I think it is because the search boxes are on the far right of the screen, it is not therefore entirely natural to go looking on the far left of the screen for ways of refining the search.
