Tricky - yup Sacha would be up there, but I'd also have to nominate Karl Shiflett (even though he does love his VB.NET). The Rockstar is also a great choice - but let's not forget Bill Sergio; the man's a legend in his own mind.

Where is that link?
On your article page[^] it points to the correct article

With CP 2.0, we got the ability to change our votes. That's great. Really great. My sloppy mousing need no longer be a source of pain and frustration, at least not here.
But, there seem to be a fair number of people who do not yet realize that this is possible. I have a theory: since the voting form goes away when you submit your vote, it feels like a not-so-subtle hint that the action is irreversible. Granted, if you re-load the page then the form is back... but that requires to you reload and look for it.
Perhaps it would help if the form just didn't go away? Surely there's no technical reason why submitting votes needs to overwrite the form itself with the status...

It's merely aethetics.
I wonder how many people actually need to revote without a page refresh (eg an article update, a change of heart) in between?
Will add it to the TODO though.

What exactly does the Good/Bad Question buttons? Also, would it be possible to shrink them a little? They look kinda bloated...

They've been here for a little while now. I think it's to give others a sense of thumbs up/thumbs down rather than the 1 - 5. I know a few people mentioned in the beginning that they accidentally hit the wrong button.

That's probably a better approach than 1-5 voting. I also saw that there's a similar button setup for answers.
While I have your attention.. could you tell me what the fuzz is about? Send me a private message if you like. I've been away in the misty land of preparing-for-a-release for some time now, so I'm a little confused...

If you go to my blog I have an email address there. (The email button in CP seems to not be working 100%). Some of it is there; I'll send a detailed explanation over the weekend.

They anyway have the privilege of re-voting option also. Isn't it?

Not sure on that; I've never tried.

The classic CodeProject had a voting system that you can cast your opinion only once but can not change it then. But after the newer (.NET) version was launched, this behavior has changed. The new opinion (vote) would take preference of the former one.
Also, as a matter of coincidence, when I am composing this note, there is another suggestion at the top of the forum by Shog who has suggested having the revoting capability more obvious. Here is the permalink of that thread:

Replaces "1" and "5". I'm not interested in whether a question is a "3". I want to be able to highlight the good and the bad. I'll be adding more features very soon.
They are bigger than normal to highlight them (for the moment)

This article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/ConceptualChildren.aspx[^] seems to have 29 votes, all 5. When I hold mouse cursor on 5th bar of the small barchart it says 9 votes 100.0% yet the article total score is: 4.78. Two problems:
1- If 100% of votes are 5, then why it's 9 out of 29.
2- If all voters gave 5, then why total score is not 5?
I'm not sure the second to be a bug, but it's likely to be.

It's recent data only (see the tooltip when you hover over). We only started storing individual votes last December after we reworked our infrastructure

Thanks for quick reply.
I've noticed that already, I just thought the article is new.
Sorry for disturbing.

I was just wondering if it'd be possible to change the icon for the <pre> snippet in the message editor to something like code block.
I'm only thinking of this because of the number of people who've posted blocks of code in the forums using the <code> tabs which makes it hard to read and I'm thinking perhaps it's because they don't know what pre means?
Thoughts?

I second all suggestions helping people in publishing code with optimal readability.
Without PRE tags, most code is hard to read, VB.NET code especially so.
The buttons below the message text box already have tooltips, with a short text,
but it is probably too short to be really helpful.
Maybe a help button could be added, giving a top-down guide on how to include
single-line and multi-line code snippets.

The problem with introducing help / tooltips is that new users aren't going to read them. If we just change the text to "code block" then it shouldn't require too much effort for them. Perhaps make the "code" button slightly more hidden so that they use the pre block in preference to the code block.

I see your point.
So maybe replace the button labels: "pre" by "multi-line code snippet"
and "code" by "single-line code snippet"
and keep the HTML PRE and CODE tags mentioned in the tooltip.
The alternative is to have a smarter editor: offering only one button to the user,
and letting it decide for itself which tag to use...
I bet that is not what Chris has in stock right now.
