Reputation points are calculated back to the dawn of time, but the issue is now from when they are calculated, but on what data are they calculated.
Forum reputation is based on the questions and answers you post as well as the votes on your questions and answers. Until August 2005 we only had "posts", but after August we labelled posts as questions, answers, general etc.
Authority points are awarded when you answer a question or when your answer is upvoted. Unfortunately for you, life dragged you away from the site just after we made these changes, so your posts, labelled "general" were never counted towards your rep.
However, I'm rerunning the rep calculator as soon as we work through a perf issue and I will reassign posts as "questions" or "answers" through a mix of guesswork and keyword searching. You should get a bunch of points owing.

Thanks for the explanation, Chris. I try to make it back here from time to time. Nice to see so many familiar names still.

And it's definitely nice seeing you again.
I've been bugging Jeff about a Redmond trip sooner rather than later.

Sounds great! Give me a heads up when you have a date in mind.

Why are CP pages not filling the entire width of my browser window anymore like they used to up until about a week ago?

Look at the bottom of every page. You can find Layout: fixed | fluid
Refer this Clickety[^]

Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Fluid link.

thanks, works fine again.
Wonder why this suddenly changed, has been 'fluid' for years now, just one of those things I guess.

Geekness alert:
It's actually been "fixed" for a long time, but the width of the fixed sized has been tuned to fit a 19" screen, so most people never noticed it. Further, because it's not actually, truly, fixed, but rather just a "max width", it looks fluid on anything smaller than fullscreen 19".
What I have done is tightened it up so that it's more of a 17" full screen view rather than 19".

mmmmm, I don't think so.

Ok, that explains it.

I recently noticed it is possible to edit the title of an article in your bookmarks (or rather edit the title of your bookmark). That can be pretty handy at times, but it does not do much good since the bookmark groups prevent me from really finding what I want (original titles are usually fine)...
I have 5 pages of bookmarks and I just had to find an article about binding in the 'Database' group in my bookmarks. I have some articles on Design Patters in 'Programming Tips' (while I also have 'Design and Architecture' and 'Uncategorised Tips and Tricks'). I even have an article on an ErrorProvider for WinForms under the header 'C/C++' 
My point is that I have to go through 5 pages of bookmarks to find a specific title and ignore the groups. If we could put bookmarks in our own groups then that would be pretty awesome 
It's an OO world.

I have always thought this was a great idea.

This article has a vote of 2, but no messages in the bottom forum which say "my vote of 2".
|
|
|
|

It could be that the vote was applied, and then the poster deleted the message. I assume that wouldn't wipe out the vote. Fortunately the author should have received an email with details of who applied the vote and why they did it.
|
|
|
|
|
If a message is removed via "vote to remove", the vote will be removed. I am not sure if the same applies to a message that is deleted by the OP, but I would guess so and that's the way it should do.

Posting the message isn't transactionalised with casting a vote, so if we had a database slowdown (eg during backups) there's a chance the vote went through but the comment didn't.

Internally, yes, and we were planning to but then the cost and hassle of leasing an IPv6 line from the hosting centre meant we decided we'd wait until more than 5 people in the world would visit.

Somehow I think that if you turned it on tomorrow you'd get more than 5 visitors. You would probably get 5 volunteers to test IVP6.codeproject.com just from the troublemakers in the lounge if I echoed this post there.

Yeah, I know
I really wanted to but there was just too much going on to add that to the number of spinning plates we're currently balancing.
