I once suggested that, however I don't think it would be a real improvement; I'm afraid a lot of users would soon figure it doesn't matter much which of those two buttons gets clicked...

Better to assume a 50% split rather than 100% minor or 100% major.

I just posted an answer in the C# forum, and when I went to look at the Recent Reputatio Points List, I saw that I got 10 points for the answer, but then -1 point for posting a general forum message:

Is that a bug or as intended?

The Programming Discussions submenu under the Q&A main menu should be on its own. The reason being is clicking on the Q&A link does not offer a way to get to there from the page that pops up.
The General FAQ submenu under Help! should be the first one since that is the default page for the main menu. What is 'The Code Project'? should be second from the bottom, next to About Us, since they're related.

The page would become too wide. I'm struggling as it is to fit everything in. OPen to suggestions though!

What's wrong with Q&A and Discussions? I know you're supposed to expand acronyms on first use and all, but for a menu item, it should be fine. Programming Discussions is not true since the majority are programming, but certainly not all.
|
|
|
|
|
Actually, the Quick Answers submenu is also wrong since it's both Questions and Answers under there.

Perhaps the 'Site Bugs / Suggestions forum' should be renamed as the ' General Forum for moaning about Reputation Points '. In order to give it a more accurate title.
If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

If it's a bug or a suggestion it goes in here.
Personally I appreciate the feedback and sleuthing I get. It beats the alternative.

I've always said that you need a good sluething every once in a while. It cleans out the upper intestines...

I logged in with a rep score of 6,077 and I go back about 1.5 hours later and it is 6,065. I don't see any new down votes. Is the scoring system still out of whack?
|
|

That usually indicates someone with moderate rep points down-voted a message or answer.

But I don't see in my recent reputation history that being the case. However, if you look at my history I received 20 points for someone (1 vote mind you) up voting my thread. see here[^]
I love the 20 points but I think that that 1 up vote = 20 points is a little off. What's your take?
[EDIT] Just realized that you can only see your own rep history.

Then you should read my replies in the Features thread (just below this one)...

Just read it.
I know that this great website can't be perfect. However, I think the rep score system (and voting) should be; other wise, what's the point in having it if it isn't accurate?

Look at it this way - you get more rep points for pointing out apparent flaws in the rep points system. The system feeds on itself.

Which is exactly why I've put everything else on hold to get this sorted.
Our reputation system isn't static, nor was it baked in when we started this 10 years ago. As we refine it and add more ways to reward members there will be changes. Our goal is to ensure that changes are predictable and positive. The current bug will get squashed and then the rep recalc will go ahead.

Ya know - you should come up with some great big gawdy flashing banner that says "REPUTATION POINTS RECALC IS UNDERWAY. Please wait 48 hours before posting messages about it in the Bugs/Suggestions forum."
Put this banner at the top of the profile pages, the lounge, and the bugs/suggestions forum.

As always...thanks. I won't bitch and complain about the issue anymore...at least for today.

This[^] should explain you the same.

Why is the Features main menu the only one without a mouse finger icon and not clickable? That is the only menu item that is strictly a menu item and not a page.
|
|
|
|

Because without inconsistencies like that, CodeProject would be the only perfect website on the internet.

As long as CP users are less than perfect, the CP website will still be less than perfect.
|
|
|
|
|
You answered it yourself. I don't think it warrants being a page in its own right.
|
|
|
|
|
No I didn't, and why not? It could link to a summary page of everything that is under it. Sometimes it's easier to click on a menu to go to a page that summarizes everything that's under it, kind of like the Learning Zone page.
