I can confirm that reputation is not growing (points aren't added).
For example, yesterday i answered this question: How to write macro VBA code for excel sheet to generate a report. and it was up-voted. I did not receive points for answering and even for up-vote. The same with notification about comment.
It happens sometimes, especially when servers are overloaded.

Hi,
My article has dozens of intermediate versions marked as "Composing" and never published so I wanted to clean the history and remove them before I start making modifications for a new version, but the only button "delete" I see says "delete the article" so I was a bit reluctant. Is it possible to delete an old version without deleting the whole stuff?
thanks,
|

|

I can nuke them for you, but is there a reason you want them gone?
cheers

The only reason is that all intermediate versions that have been saved when composing the text are counted as revisions so my article has 44 "revisions" which is not true, I thought the authors are supposed to do some cleanup. But I can live with it. Otherwise maybe you should count as revisions only the versions that have been submitted - just a suggestion.

What happened to the rest? Active, New and the most common tags.
I used those.

So, it's your fault they got all used up! Thanks a lot.  I heard they are on back-order and it may be a while before another shipment comes in.

If this has already been mentioned or discussed, my apologies.
Currently, I have to hit the browser back button to click the "Read Later" for an article. It would be nice to have this same functionality on the actual article as well (say near the bookmark button).

This is definitely on the TODO.

It would be nice if we could sort a list of articles/tips for a given user by available criteria, such as alphabetically by title, date posted, number views, current score, popularity, etc. The organization by category is nice and all, but it makes it somewhat difficult to find a specific article/tip.
I further suggest that sorting by date posted (in descending order) should be the default criteria selected, and that the currently selected sort criteria be saved as part of the user's site settings/profile so he doesn't have to re-select it every time.

You can do all of this on the search page.
Type the author's name in the search box, select authors in the first Match box, and whatever sort you want.
Then in the Save Queries, type in a name and click save. You can now just select that search query by clicking on it in the list of save queries.

I'm talking more specifically when I look at "My Articles".

You can always "search" for your articles.
|
|
|
|

My point is that I already have a list of my articles - I want filtering capability on THAT page.

No.
I am admittedly in a mild state of annoyance because of work crap, so I'm not really on the lookout for humor today.

In that case, you can click 'Just My Stuff' to filter your search results by you as the author.
There is also 'My Bookmarks' to search things you have bookmarked.
The My Articles page is based on SQL stored procedures and is much more difficult to modify.
The Search Page uses Lucene.Net, and was designed to offer much more choice in how you sort and filter what you want to see. Also, its much faster.
Give it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised what you can do with it.
If you have issues or suggestions on improving it, let me know.

I second this suggestion. Would be great to be able to sort by publish date.

I just want to find out why a reply message I posted was closed - who can I ask?

You're going to have be more specific before CP can answer your question.

Look at how much activity the OP has so far. I doubt CP needs much more information.
