These are surveys, so go to the Survey page[^], choose "General" and you'll get the list there.
I'll add 1 and 2 to the todo.

That makes sense. Perhaps adding "Competition" as another drop down item would be an improvement. Upon seeing the other types of surveys on that page, I had dismissed this page as the place to find competition surveys. I had dismissed it entirely when I came across the Competitions page. When I clicked on Best ASP.NET Article of May 2011, the page I got was fairly general and seemed useless for what I wanted. Not sure why this page would list "latest articles" but not "survey results" (might also be good to have a "vote" button before voting has concluded). I saw that it listed a current winners list, but that page was essentially empty.
I suppose the main thing to note here is that there are seemingly multiple ways to get to the desired data, but one is not obvious and the other is not fully implemented (according to my expectations as a user).

I was trying to search The Lounge for reposts, but I got 12 pages of results. Could you add something to the search functionality that allows the user to search only the thread starter messages (i.e., exclude the replies)? I think this existed in the old search functionality, but was removed when the search feature was "upgraded".

Good idea. Added to the todo

When a user is reported as a spammer, or a message is reported as spam (a certain number of times), I think it would be a good idea if the site automatically removed all URLs within the reported messages).

Interesting idea. I was actually thinking that nuking all content, everywhere, from a spammer is the better answer.

Hello,
if for any reason (let's say curiosity) I want to check how many votes and how those votes are spreaded in the points of one post in the Q&A section, when I hover the mouse on the stars, the small window appears, but the z position is not completely right as the red flag to report de message is not covered by the floating window with results and therefore there are some values that can't be seen.
This happens only in short questions as the space between the question and the flag is not big enough.
You could see that behavior here[^].
Thank you!

I've tried and tried and tried but can't get the window to hover over the flag. Probably just some admin controls getting in the way so I'll have another play later this morning.

I wanted to bring this to your attention. The link that points to a question in Q&A has a number in it followed by a slash and then the topic of the question follows. This clever guy[^] seems to have found out that the text after the number doesn't matter at all. So he posted solutions is Q&A that always point to OP's question but the text after the question number always says www.aspdotnet.in. The link text is always "Make your PC faster".
I've already reported him on his page. I just wanted to bring this scheme to your attention.
Cheers!

Well done, Manfred...

Perhaps he got the idea from the JSOP Forum.
My recommendation to Chris & Co is that a masterpage should check the raw URL path against the expected path and, if they don't match, forward the user to some other page (e.g., the homepage or an error page). Or in the very least, log any unexpected URL's so they can be researched.

Thank you Chris and gang for making the site better for everyone.

Hopefully better for some. I don't think I can ever make it better for everyone, but thank you - kind words are always appreciated.

Go! Green does look good. Thanks.

I'm liking the color schemes too... makes it easier to read what I want and ignore what I don't care to read.

When a Q+A attracts a single vote, the mu calculation looks OK, but it seems to consistently show a sigma of 2.86. AFAIK, the sample standard deviation is undefined for a sample size of 1. Maybe they have redefined it in the dacades since I studied stats.

You'd think it would at least be 42.
I'm using what SQL spits out, but am happy to remove it for less than 2 votes.

Now that there is work going on on icons (and colors), why not consider making all existing icons more 3D-ish (Vista / Windows 7 / Mac) style.
Some new fancy icons could be nice and would bring about a change for those who visit this side frequently.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

And make 'em whopping huge while I'm at it?

Huge or small, they all need the Metro look and feel.

+1 now it became difficult to see up-voted messages unless you stare hard at screen. I don't understand whats wrong with those attractive Red and Grey colors.
PS : Well not everything suppose to change, specially legend colors or images.
