We've swapped! I haven't been as active this last 12 months due to work commitments so no MVP this year for me...
I agree, it's not just a recognition thing, it also informs the OP that someone of proved knowledge is answering.

While you are in "My Settings" page and you try to go to "Articles -> Chapters and Sections", it just shows the scrollbar not the list. I am using latest Chrome.

Is it still happening? Sounds like the page had timed out.

I just checked how it looks here.
On FF3.6, Chapters and Sections works fine on the home page; on the My Settings page, it shows an empty window, which is short (could hold 2 lines of text) and wide, wider than normal (could hold 3 columns instead of 2); it has both scroll bars.
On Chr7, again the My Settings page, the normal size comes up for a fraction of a second, then it resizes to an extremely short (just one horizontal scrollbar high) and wide window, again wider than normal.
ADDED: On FF3.6 it sometimes flashes the regular window size first, but immediately switches to the abnormal size.

Exactly. That is what I am facing.

What rep position must one be in, in order to edit/add tags? I don't see a way to add new tags to the cloud.

Thanks Chris. I believe your current documentation says Silver.

I keep getting a pop-up dialog box telling me that I voted successfully and what my vote was on EVERY message that I vote on now. FF 3.6
and then I have to refresh the page to see that my vote was counted in.
[edit]
I logged out. Cleared my history. Closed the browser. logged back in and everything works now.

I'm curious as to how the ranking or positioning of the Answers given in the Q&A section works. I've noticed several times that although I have provided the first answer, when I review for alternate solutions mine is list below others. How is this order determined? I'm not complaining, just curious as I thought they would be listed in order given.

If you choose the "Top rated" tab then the order is (slightly misleadingly):
1. Date an answer was marked as the accepted answer
2. The rating
3. The date the answer was posted.

Do you guys cut it off at 40 every year? Out of 7.5 million users, there are only 40? Were there actually more that met the criteria?
And by the way, when you click Features | Competitions in the main menu, and then click CodeProject MVP (over on the right-hand side), it shows the list of MVP years. When you click on the entry for 2009, instead of getting a list of MVPs, you get a list of new articles. On all the rest of them, you get what amounts to an empty page with a link to see the current winner's list, which you then have to click to see the actual list.

John, you know pretty well CP does not have 7 million users. It has ten thousands, maybe has had hundred thousands over the years; and half of them have forgotten their password and created another account, and forgot it again, and again.
IMO 40 is more than enough. If there's too many of them, what is the value? and what the incentive to contribute harder?

I know, but I figured I'd give them the numbers they're giving us since I have no way to speculate on the true number of users beyond the hundred or so I know about.

Who's bitching? I just asked a simple question.

Careful, you may hurt his feelings and he'll leave 
Although it's more likely to cause extra ammo to be stockpiled and a knock on your door.

Sorry Luc, but we had over 10 million unique visitors last year based on IP. I know when you say "user" you mean an author or someone who posts a question (so yes, your estimates are closer for that) but for me, everyone who visits, or bookmarks an item, or downloads a zip file, or just comes and uses the site in whatever fashion suits them, is a user.

My estimate was for unique physical people with at least one CP account, used for whatever purpose they choose; I suspect most users create their first account in order to download something, and I expect the majority returns to download one or a few files a year, and create an account each time, rather than remembering it somehow. Gmail becoming slightly harder to create new accounts may have a dampening effect on this; other e-mail providers may have compensated for it, I don't know.
As you know IP address counts may be misleading, with dynamic IP and all. I once observed I got hundreds of different addresses myself in a week's time, when my ISP decided to break connections every 30 minutes in an attempt to make do with the limited range he had available; he has added a couple of ranges since, so now the switch is much less frequent, however the choice is much larger (he now holds well over 100K IP adr).

10 million users may be about right, but what about the number of members?
