Eventually.
This falls under the "dastardly plans" umbrella.

Nothing major but I was just looking at a the reputation graph for ryanb31[^] with a negative score for debating. Acording to the profile he has a total of 390 points but the orange line shows about 1100.

Yep - this is all going to be cleaned up in the next few days. I've completed an initial recalc but need to check everything twice to ensure that the rep point changes members see is fair and correct.
2 issues were found: When an event was "undone" we were, in certain situations, adding, not removing points, and secondly, some download files were mistakenly attributed to the wrong articles, leading to download points being assigned to the wrong authors.

That forum thing I've fixed. It was an interesing one, and was related to a new article posting system we're currently beta testing.
The images? That one stumped me. I've synced the file systems, twice, and checked the article, 3 times, and the imagea are all there for me.

Not sure about the images. There were about 3 of them I couldn't see at first, but moments after I posted my original post, I could see them. Maybe they were corrupt/missing on one of the file systems in your server farm?

That's what I thought, too, until I looked and they were all there.

I get the Mobile Dev newsletter (among others) by email. Because I use a simple-minded web based email client (I have a private mail server on my domain), I'm unable to read the newsletter. A link to the online version would be very welcome.
Side note: I spent 5 minutes trying to find the Mobile Dev newsletter @ CP and gave up. (The standard newsletter is easily accessible, but not the others).
Thanks,

It's on the list and will be added soon.

Odd. Unfortunately the article in question has disappeared from that list but I'll dig in.

What is meat by "Permalink" in Q/A
|

Hello All,
I have one suggestion and hope that help to make this user friendly forum more user friendly.
I would suggest to add option to add reason / remark / comment when user improves other members question. and we can display it on the space above the "Comment" and below the question/CP name who posted the question.
I know we can add the comment after improving question but it would be more helpful if we can add that one while improving the question itself and see if we can make it mandatory.
This is just my suggestion . I will continue to use comment option which is there in forum . But please analyze this suggestion and implement if you think it important
Thanks
Rahul D.

It's a good idea, but what happens when a question has been revised multiple times? This could become bigger than the question itself.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Pete O'Hanlon, Ya that could be the condition (Not issue).
But as we seen uptill now normally any question might get two or three revision.
We have much professional and good people whose revision won't need update.
Agreed ?
|
|
|
|
|
This could also be set up to only be viewed if the user wants to see the statements, that way it doesn't clutter up the Q&A, but at the same time, the comments are there for editors (sort of like version control).
I like the idea.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks Albert ,
So in summary we can do this
1) Provide option to write cause of editing other CP Member's question.
2) Provide link after question and above comments to see this "edition casues" who want to see it can use this link.
Hope this helps ,

I have tried to formata code using pre tag but instead of formating it display tag itself in the question
you can reproduce this by using below question
delete records in table[^]
|
|
|
|
|
Was the checkbox "Treat my content as plain text, not as HTML" under the content checked? That is the most likely reason.
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks . That was the case
|
|
|
|
|
Ah yes, I too have been fooled by this small and seemingly innocuous checkbox. 
Once one knows it's no longer a problem. (Self evident comment of course)
Cheers!

The Questions & Answers part of site is overwhelmed with dead questions which very unlikely will be ever answered. Some of them still have considerable value. Most of then really use resources and distract members' attention at the expense of decent posts.
Such dead questions could be automatically removed on certain condition (I'll discuss the conditions later), with notification sent to their author (so they would have a chance to legitimately re-post them after serious and proper re-formulation), but there is some risk of removing something good. This risk is not too high, because anyway, presently good but unanswered questions get sunk in the crowd of useless posts if they are not answered during certain period of time.
If this automatic sanitation is not acceptable, what would be the way to remove them in a human-judged way, by some consensus of experts? The volume is too high. One option is this: adding one more tab in the tab control here: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/List.aspx[^]. This tab would list the candidates for permanent removal.
The criteria for putting a question on this list could be this: 1) not answered during certain period of time; 2) having certain score of reports like "unclear or incomplete", "re-post", "not a question", etc.
What would be a criteria for permanent removal? We could have a control like "vote to remove", so the removal could be done automatically on certain score of such reports. Such vote could require a written comment confirming the reason for removal. Some small number of point could be awarded to a member participated in this useful work.
Thank you for attention for this suggestion,

What would be the benefit of removing old questions? Is it so they don't show up in searches, or so they aren't "touched" and resurrected back onto the homepage?
