The "featured article" is merely a randomly selected article. Maybe they should apply an extra filter that prevents everything with a rating lower than 4.0 from being "featured"..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Exactly.

It's set as 4.1 minimum.
That particular article has been voted for since it was chosen, knocking it down below the threshold. We have a note to nuke featured articles if they are knocked below the threshold and quickly replace it with a new one.cheers,

Hey moderators,
While looking at the Question & Answers section today, I found that user Sakshi_11[^] is just playing around posting questions from other forums (exactly the same sentences), nor does those sound like an issue that suits the user.
Kindly look into it.
Proof example:
Caught user having fun with this Question[^]

Wow! That looks really odd. 
The question was posted in the year 2008 on experts exchange. I wonder what the OP gets by copy pasting the query here.

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. All Toronto weekends should be extremely wet until we get it automated in regular forums, not just QA.

In this week Survey Results page here
It says: Survey period: 1 Feb 2010 to 8 Mar 2010
And it should be: 1 Mar 2010 to 8 Mar 2010

Fixed, but technically not a bug, nor an issue with the results.
Just a ham-fisted entry operator (ie me)cheers,

No it doesn't Yesitdoes shhhh. Quiet, all of you.
Anyway, it isn't like that at all. Sure it is.
The people affected by this have a serious disease and need help. whiners
They can't control the situation and it is often terrifying for them. don't tell them that.

Are there plans to allow for a proper brief description, like articles have? If not, I'd like to see that feature added..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

The issue is getting people to fill them in.
Tips and Tricks are meant to be quick little tid bits. If they need a full description, above and beyond the title, then they start to wander over into the realm of article.cheers,

Well, if they don't fill them in, then the tip/trick shouldn't show anything (as far as the description is concerned). Right now, we get what looks like the first 255 characters of the text of the tip/trick, and it kinda looks raggedy..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Except that you can't edit the abstract.
John's right - we'll have to fix this.cheers,

When you look at a tip/trick, you get the buttons at the top of the screen that allow you to ask/answer questions (Quick Answers). That doesn't seem appropriate..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly
