Currently, 'Answer upvoted - max event per day' is set to 10. It's too less. It should be increased. 
I have seen frequent instances when this barrier is crossed. Most recent, mine today... it's more than 20 in Q&A...
Ironically, though the upvotes don't count, downvotes still does! Further, if your first 10 upvotes were by 'bronze' members, you miss a lot of points from extra votes if they are from high-rep members.
I think, it can be increased to 20 or 25 per day if not more.

I think that's how many points *you* get for upvoting an answer.

Not clear on what you are trying to say.
I have seen for you too crossing this 10 cap, but only first 10 is considered. If the cap cannot be changed then best 10 of the day should (but then might be more calculation issues!).

Both actually; when checking the FAQ, it shows a limit on upvotes both under organiser (you vote) and under author/authority/debator/enquirer (your text is being rated).
More on topic; I agree.

I agree.
ADDED: With more than 7.5M members, it takes over 2000 years to get all the votes in when limited to 10 per day.

Your upvotes and downvotes always count. The limit isn't on the number of votes (though there is a limit on the frequency of votes) it's on the number of points you get awarded when you vote.
We're happy to have members spend all day voting away, but we have to put some safeguards in place to prevent crazy rep scores.

But, I am talking of people voting on my answers. We have a limit of 10 on it. Once this limit is reached, any further upvotes on my answers are not accounted for (thus no change in Authority points.).
One can upvote-downvote after this limit, there is no restriction on that but points are not considered for the answerer and this is what I am talking of.
I understand that there needs to be some safegaurd limit. Thats why said may be just increasing it to 20 might work.

One click of my few technical blog articles, I am getting below error !

His article says "Exception Occured? - Get Troubleshooting tips from your favorite blogs". Hence CodeProject is testing whether it works or not. 
BTW, I can confirm that too. The page is throwing "NullReferenceException".

All fixed.

Just wondering about the list of recent reputation points. In the Item column, when it is a Forum Message listed, the subject of the message is displayed as a link to the message. However in my current list it also contains Forum Message follwed not by a link but simply the text " 3722202". Does this mean that the message has been removed/deleted, but the rep points for it are still included in my total? Thanks.

AFAIK message/vote deletion gets handled correctly. I just did a simple test: adding a message gave one more line in the history, with +1 point, and a message title; then removing the message changed that line: the message title got replaced by the message number, and a new rep table entry was added with the same content, however -1 points. All seems fine.
I did not test with votes attached, however in my experience that works too. Which sometimes is a pity: when I comment on an article-needing-approval, and wen the comment gets upvoted, later on the article gets updated and approved, the message and its votes are lost. So approvers don't get awarded, their work is pro deo!

No that is not what I meant, although both are probably OK here. Both are Latin, and mean without reward; for me pro deo is for the good of a specific party (e.g. an attorney defending someone who can't afford him), whereas pro bono is for the good of the community in general. Judging an article is for the good of the author (he gets feedback), and when the article is good and gets approved, only then it becomes good for the community.

In advanced apologise me if that bug in on bug list, the only I saw related is the bug "voting should send notifications".
I confirmed some days ago my email address, but still dont receive all email notifications (answers and comments on posted threads). Some days I receive, others dont. If I had to guess I'll say I receive about 20% email notifications I should receive.
Can I do something ?
|

You only receive notifications for reply's to your threads, questions, answers, etc...
Make sure your allowed sites in your e-mail config allows for *@codeproject.com
|
|
|
|
|
Of course, I know.
If I had *@codeproject.com blocked in my email config I didnt receive any email, and the problem is: sometimes I receive (when someone replies to a question (created by me), and sometimes I dont.
