Something very wrong is going on here. I can't see your reply's to this post through accessing the site straight on. I only see the reply's when I follow the link in the notification e-mail that I received regarding this post.
Also, when I load this website FF tells me that it is connecting to s.codeproject.com, don't know if that makes a difference or not.

yes, absolutely.
also:
1.
add a sequential number (it used to be in front of the name)
2.
add an anchor with said sequential number (it used to exist)
so one can again call e.g. http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Profiles.aspx#20[^] to immediately scroll to the 20th member on that page.

Don't worry, it is about rep points.
With millions of CP members spread all over the globe, one would expect the site to be very busy all the time; nevertheless I notice some wee hours, probably due to a phase correlation between work and water (*). I can't but suggest CP introduces "Happy Time", let's say from 5 to 7 GMT; in that period all rep points should be doubled automatically: "post one, get one free".
If you're not convinced there are global wee hours, or find the proposal unfair to some, then alternatively CP could organize Happy Time based on each member's location, stimulating every individual to contribute more outside his regular hours. The goal is to get activities spread more evenly over all the hours of the day, so the Lounge, the rep forum, and other rooms never run slowly.
What say you?
(*) the way working hours are organized typically in a day, and the oceans are spread over the globe.

That would amount to Chronological Unfairness!
5.00 am here is early evening in Aus, and that would give CG a massive advantage!
It would be mid moning in India, giving Nish a huge chance to catch CG!
It would be 10pm the previous night in Central US, giving JSOP all the ammo he needs to pull away from POH.
And poor bloody European members would be fast akip in their scratchers.

Nish is in the US and has been for the last few years. It might help Abhijit Jana, Sandeep Mewara, and Shivprasad koirala; but at 100k each they're not a threat to CG in the short term.
Sandeep and Shivprasad do however have steeper slopes on their rep graphs than you, and 20k is a much smaller gap to overtake.

Having observed the consequences of Happy Hours in my locality, I can categorically state that I have no wish to do the vomit-dodging dance whilst attempting to navigate these fora, and we already have enough fights without the need for additional stimulus.

I appreciate you (think you) don't need extra stimulus Henry, others may need some. Of course we don't want you to dance more.
It is all marketing; Happy Time, more posts, more traffic, more ad views, more revenue, more servers, more staff, better service, the loop closes.

I can only see a few problems:
1) When you have someone who moves around a lot (E.g. CG) when do you give him a Happy hour? Should it be at the same GMT? Or does that give him an "advantage" when he is abroad? If it moves with his IP, does that give him an "advantage" when he can't sleep because he is still on Australian time
2) What do you do when someone declares themselves to be based in the US when they are in India, say? What about IP proxies? It would not take much for me to write a forwarding program so that all my connections come through either the hosting service I use in the US, or the other hosting service I use in Australasia. What do you do then?
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

1. disable Happy Time for 24 hours when the current IP's location is in a different time zone than the previous one
2. yep, it can be fooled. So can the current situation. I think I could easily write a bot that catches up with CG before year end, just voting and bookmarking all around.

There are people posting all the time.
I cannot imagine there is a downtime.
Even the Indian forum never sleeps - if local Indians are sleeping, Indians in the US and other parts of the world are posting!
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
