And Chris won't let my implement Matthew points. You get points for just being ME

There is, however, the heisenberg-like issue that if you check your man-points, then you automatically lose man-points. If you are checking another man's man-points then you lose double.
It's made testing, well, difficult. Especially since actually testing code itself results in loss of man points.

I don't know what the TechEd keynote speaker has been telling you, Chris, however please consider the possibility you misunderstood it somehow. Testing, locating bugs and fixing them still earns you all kinds of points, don't let MS sales people tell you otherwise.

And of course, someone will create, or at least claim to have created, an App that scams the system and artificially inflates your man-points. Of course, clicking on these Ads result in a drastic reduction in your man-points.

The only acceptable man-test is, of course, did it compile? Noticing the 360 warnings loses you points.

There is a link at the top of each programming forum "View unanswered questions in the ASP.NET forum".
This link states:
Note that a question remains "unanswered" until the member who created the question explicitly marks an answer as a "good answer". This means that a question could appear on this list despite having a number of answer-type replies.
My question is, since it's already being tracked if a particular answer is marked good by Enquirer or not, do reputation system takes care of it as 'Answer Accepted'? Does the points of 'Answer Accepted' awarded to OP for it or just an up-vote points?
Logically, based on the work-flow and to keep consistency, answer accepted points should be awarded. (if they are not!)
What say?

In Quick Answers a member receives points if their answer is marked accepted. The author of the question does not get points for this, however. But maybe they should.. We're not doing this in the forums at all. I'll add it to the TODO. Thanks for spotting this.

BY this you mean member will recieve points if their answer is marked accepted in Forums too. Right?

I posted an answer to a QA and the OP added a comment to me here[^]. I then received four copies of the email notification about the comment, all containing exactly the same content and timestamp.

I too faced the same thing today(but not same time stamp...couple of minutes total difference). I think they were edited 4 times... that could be the reason.
|

|
|

Same problem
but only 3 mails so there is improvement 
Timestamps are the same.

After inspecting the code, I think I know what happened.
You had a slow or bad connection to The Code Project which resulted in retries on the call to post the comment. The Code Project received and processed each request and sent emails. Fortunately we don't store duplicate comments. For some reason, your browser did not get the response from The Code Project, which resulted in the retry.
Maybe you caught Chris in the middle of an update for TechEd

Not me guv. The comment was posted by someone else in reply to my answer, so I guess the bad connection was somewhere else. Either way it doesn't sound like a major issue.

I use dan g's fabulous ToDoList application a lot to keep track of almost everything I do that has to do with programming.
Because I use a lot of different computers for development, I often find myself in the situation where I have to install, reinstall or update the ToDoList application to be able to open my ToDoLists.
But I always have a HARD time locating dan's article here on CP, because no matter WHAT I write ("ToDoList", "ToDo List", "To-Do List", "To Do List" etc) in the search box, I NEVER get dan's article as a result of the search.
Wonder why? Is there a bug in the search engine?

Just tested it.
Typed in ToDoList in the search box on top and it showed up in the list on third position.
Did you select 'Articles / quick answers' from the list?
|
|
|
|
|
Does for me as well now, but it certainly didn't an hour ago when I had to install the program. Then I got 5 pages of replies, and his article was NOT among them. And it's not the first time I've had that problem with that exact article.
But I guess it's just random monday strangeness... 
BTW: I have had the problem with other articles as well when searching for articles I KNOW is there using search words I KNOW is in that article...

No I'm guessing you forgot to change the listbox to the 'Articles / quick answers' option.
Standard it's on 'Messages' hence why you got reply's instead of actual articles.
|

|

All 5 boxes are checked all the time in my system...
|
|
|
|

5 boxes?
You only get those when searching for the 'articles / quick answers ' option.
The list I'm talking about is the one on top of the page just under the green menu bar.
You have a search box there and a list next to it.
Do you use that one?
Standard it's on messages and when you search you don't have the 5 boxes that are displayed when searching on 'Articles / quick answers'

I see, but that was not the search function I was referring to. Didn't think of that one.
I always go to Articles | Search and check all 5 boxes (ok, they are prechecked, but you get my drift) and type the search words.
And it was there I had the problem.

|

|

Hmmm that one gives me the same results (third one in the list is the price winner  ) so might have been a hick up.
Let's blame it on the Monday virus
