...does that user's votes also go away? The reason I'm asking is because three of my articles suddenly have one fewer vote (and my article scores went up as a result), and I'm guessing it's because that person's account was deleted.
Just curious - nothing more.

Not necessarily - nor do we have to ban a member to remove their votes, if their voting behaviour shows malicious intent.

Intent must be counted, them as care for the site must count more.

Sometime on the 9th the from line of messages I got changed from "The Code Project forums" to "Forums". Was this an intentional change? I strongly preferred the old version because it was less ambiguous.

Is this by design? I have not excercised the option, so i have no clue if i can actually vote. But the vote thingy does appear on the page.
|
|
|
|
|
Been that way forever now.
|
|
|
|
|
But why? We can't vote for our own messages. How come we can vote for our articles?
|
|
|
|

It's always been that way. I'm not sure why, though it may be some kind of 'insurance' mechanism so if the first vote is a random univote the article doesn't immediately disappear (by default articles < 3 are hidden from the list) and never see the light of day.

Down at the bottom is the grade levels for each section.
Under "Enquirer" the Bronze award makes you an Inquirer, rather than an Enquirer.
just for information[^].
I merely wish to enquire whether inquire is a mistake!

what made you so enquisitive?

The panel on the left displays a list of all forums with those that were accessed within a certain time period as bold. The ones that were not visited recently are shown in a normal font.
When I select and view a forum that was not updated recently via the panel, the forum name (text) displayed on the panel becomes bold.
Is this by design or a bug?
Something very minor, but I thought I'd post it here anyway.

In light of the resolution to my bold problem (posted earlier), I suggest that the site try to close all open tags before saving the message. This would prevent/mitigate the problem I inadvertently caused.

When a question has been deleted, it should no longer appear in the list of questions. It's annoying to click on a question in the list, only to be greeted with the "sorry, can't find this page" error.

In quick answers or the forums? (assuming quick answers, but want to be sure)

Yes, in Quick Answers.

Sorry 'bout that. I'll add it to the bug list.

Look at the 2nd response. All of the text is bold and there's no markup (that I see) that makes it bold. I tried a couple of times to un-bold it, and nothing worked.
Solution ===============
IT WAS MY FAULT! 
I had an unclosed bold tag in MY response that was screwing up the rest of the page.

Enquirer:
Remove an answered Programming Forum Question (with at least one reply): -10
Participant:
Vote survey: 1 point
Newsletter opt-out (description is missing): -points for opt-in
Sign in (retroactively for every year with activity before 2009): 12 points
Notes: People removing their initial question are rude to those who answered it, I think it should be reflected in the user's enquirer status. Counting member sign-ins started somewhere in 2009, at least it looks like it from different members reputation graphs. I think if a newsletter gives 50 participation points, then every year of actively participating at this site should count something too. It would give a nice feeling for those long time members who do not have an MVP status.
Have a good weekend

I think this is a great suggestion. 
Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

But sometimes, the "answer" is telling the OP NOT to post duplicate questions. Besides, I sometimes answer a question, and then delete it. That way, they get my answer, but nobody else is bothered with the question. I don't do this very often, but it has happened a few times
A BETTER suggestion would be to immediately remove the question from the list of questions if its been deleted. In fact, I came here to make that very suggestion.
