I think the OP's idea was that he wanted notification of a new thread so he could run off and answer the question quickly thereby increasing the chances of becoming an MVP/maintaining MVP status.
My less cynical reasoning would be that it is to ensure that questions get answered quickly, thereby aiding those asking the questions.

Seriously beating Mika, Dave and some of the other people to the questions is really hard work  .

I didn't used to be this cynical. I only became this way after moving to Glasgow. While the folk here are very friendly (at least on the surface) I always get the impression there is an alterior motive.

You're in the right part of the world to be seen as a "walking wallet". 
Even southern and eastern Africa wasn't as bad.

There's that 'i' icon again  It looks like an iFrame that tried to load a page and errored out.
I did a little mobile icon for you guys to go with the monthly competition one, if you're interested in using it. You can find it here[^]. There's a large version and a 24 pixel drop-in replacement for the 'i' icon.

So you're saying that when it comes to graphic design and layout, I shouldn't give up my day job?

Currently each article has a Send to a friend button at the top, and a bunch of buttons at the bottom for Digg, Del.icio.us, etc. I suggest you just have one Share button at the top, with a drop-down menu. See http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/[^] for an example.

I've seen the small 'Share' links you mentioned (but not actually on that page) and was thinking exactly the same thing.
Something like Add This[^]?

I found this interesting one when checking Vikram's profile.
On his profile page, it says he has two articles whilst his article list says only one article.

Hi,
I have published 5 articles so far, and started preparing a sixth one a month ago (using the publication
wizard). Ever since my article count alternates between 5 and 6, it seems to me different servers use different algorithms to count them (and/or the CP team is changing the code all the time ).

Thanks for reporting.
I will investigate the issue, and will provide the explanation,
or open the bug tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Elina

Enjoy every moment of it!

Hey Mustafa,
Dr WJB's profile shows 2 articles, and there are 2 articles listed in his article list. Note sure if Elina fixed this overnight.

Is there perhaps any easy way to take over ownership of an article, with the orginal authors consent of course.
There is an article on CP that has not been updated by the author for the last 5 years. I have made some additions to the source code listed in the article which I am sure the community would benefit from but I don't want to create a new article just for that. I also don't want to add the modifications/addtions in the comments section as it will probably be missed by lots of people.
There should also be a way to take over ownership of an article if the original author is no longer an active member of CP and cannot be contacted.
Cheers

Just write your own article and post it.

I don't think what I've added warrants the creation of a whole new article.
