Oh, I always thought "Create Your Blog" was to create some sort of automatic feed so that technical blogs would show up on Code Project in addition to their original source. Perhaps this could be reworded to be more clear (e.g., "Create Profile Forum")?

Actually I see no use for the button at all. Some/Long time ago it wasn't there, all that was offered was the "New Message" widget. Now I can understand CP doesn't want to maintain 7+ million forums when only some ten thousand are actually needed; so why not have the widget create the blog automatically the first time it gets clicked?

Is there not a yellowish strip across the bottom of your Main Profile Page?
There should be. Mine has 'FAQ' in green and the standard 'New Message' widget.

Apparently, you only see that if you first click "Create Your Blog". I just did that and now I have a forum to post inane stuff... yay!

I'm not sure the weight factors there are positive...

Yeah, I really should stop posting inane crap in the main forums.

my permanent suggestion: avoid unsorted lists, in particular list the MVP's in alphabetical order, that makes it a lot easier to browse.
|
|
|
|

That's what I noticed too.
|
|
|
|

I would suggest that they do have an order, just not an alphabetic one.

So you want me at the top? Thanks!

I think 'want' might be putting it a little strongly.

the CP Newsletter has them in ASCII-like case-insensitive alphabetical order, and puts you at #11. Which is fine by me.

your observation is correct and fu
nctionally inadequate; are you the author of MS help?

The order they're using is called "random". It changes from time to time for no apparent reason.

They are in order, just not in an order that makes sense to anyone not looking at the actual data. I'll do an update that orders MVPs by seniority.

As Henry already pointed out, they are bound to have some order (you don't do random on purpose, do you?). I recommend you apply the ordering that makes most sense. Checking the list to see if a particular person is MVP or not seems the likely candidate, that is why I suggested alphabetical.
FWIW: I tend to order my lists either alphabetically, numerically or chronologically (whichever makes most sense) unless there is an overwhelming other criterium.

As do I.
In this case, members were actually being listed pseudo randomly because the system used for listing them typically expects only a single entry. For the MVP awards I awarded 40 members the same prize level ("MVP") for a single compeitition ("MVP 2011") so there was a breakdown. Adding an extra sort field for this situation has fixed it (locally, at least. Will upload later this week)
