Either that or put someone who works for CP on policing the forums and moving the posts.
Your choice. 
The current (manual) systems and procedure in place of yelling at people who post in the wrong forum is clearly not working, unprofessional, reflects poorly on this site and is a terrible introduction to CP for a large number of people who are quitely likely earnest, honest people who simply got in the wrong forum by accident.

I agree that this is a very poor introduction to CP for first-time visitors. However, the current (manual) process is broken only in that it requires a lot of manual intervention. The fact that people "yell" or otherwise act unprofessionaly is a factor of personalities not process. (Take a look at my posts directing people to the correct forum, etc. I take a very different approach than most.) Providing an automated way to perform these type of actions would elimiate the personality from the process.

Well, if your really interested they say:
am really interested in this so called mathematics and algorithm of a thing,am actualy a part-time student and so much of my time is always taking away 4rn me.....so can any help me with the introduction of tyhis great task.....i will be really grateful if anyone can help me out with tghis great work......
But i had to change the view to 'Expand all messages' to see that.
You can't see the message normally because there is no subject to click on so you can expand the message.
So the bug is, i guess, that this person has somehow posted their message without a subject.

Love the date pickers in the search, but how do you select a year and close it correctly?

Yeah, learned that the dumb-a$$ way. I was changing the year only for searching a few years back and it didn't occur to me at first to click anywhere else. Talk about a big  .

On the New message page, the default selected option should be Question and not general
90% or more of the posts are questions, its just people that doent event take a look at that part and they just leave it with the default
And when replying, default option should be answer i guess

If someone lists a co-author, put the article in purgatory (it won't even show up in the article moderation panel) until ALL of the listed co-authors approve of being listed as co-authors.
A listed co-author would get an email with a link to a page that allows him to
1) review the article
2) one of three actions to perform in response to the article:
a) allow (lists him as a co-author)
b) deny (removes him from being listed as a co-author, maybe because the article isn't to his liking
c) deny and report (if the co-author listing is fraudulent)
This will prevent needless crap like what we saw today:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/scripting/Percentage_Javascript.aspx[^]
from "Member 3198854"
This was intentional abuse of the site.

And we had another article like that this morning. Tht makes three that I know of since article moderation started.

How about:
An article can have whatever co-authors specified as the original author wishes. When the article is posted an email is sent to all co-authors with two links. One link confirms they are to be a co-author and ads them. The other link deletes the article.

Sounds good to me, but it also seems that you'd want to know when someone is abusing the co-author system, hence the "deny/report" option.

I think the 2nd link should just remove the member as co-author and not delete it. Deletion might be harsh especially if the first author mistyped the 2nd author's id or something like that.

This, I feel, is redundant. Why would you need a tristate in this case? Wouldn't a binary fashion suffice?

I noticed that in IE, when you hover the cursor over a bar, you will see number of votes and percent. This does not happen in FF. Is this due to a problem with FF?

No, it's due to a problem in IE (it's not supposed to show the actual number of votes). 
BTW, the percentages are incorrect. I tried it on one of my articles with 21 votes. 14 were 5's, but the percentage read "100%". Now, I'm really no math whiz, but that looks more like 66% to me. The other seven votes showed incorrect percentage values as well.
I also don't understand why it only counts "recent data", when all of the numbers are obviously there...
Did you outsource this code Chris?

Yep - the percentages are wrong and I've fixed that (next release).
We only have recent data because previously we weren't storing individual vote values, just aggregates. As of Dec 4, 2007 we are storing all votes

Ahhhhh, so only articles posted since Dec 4 will have all of the numbers.
