I found this in Membership type[^] page.
The Code Project Protector
These dedicated members help ensure that a million members sending hundreds of articles each week do the right thing. They can moderate and remove inappropriate articles, edit eye-straining formatting and move under-performing (or recovering) articles to and from Purgatory. If you see an article that needs attention then let these guys know. Spot them in the forums by their protectors icon *protector*.

So they are protectors of truth, decency, high morals, and illegal font styles. I want one of those shields. Where do I sign?

Old, old, old member badge from the early part of last decade. They were meant to be deprecated about 6 years ago but I never had the heart because I love the icon so much.
Maybe we'll resurrect it one day...

It is a mighty fine icon I must say.

I'm having an issue with Bookmarks not working.
When I click the Bookmark icon, it briefly changes to a circular progress and then back to the Checked Star, but it never really bookmarks the article.
I tested this in IE 9 and Chrome 11.

I'm having the exactly the same issue...
But i found a workaround,
view the article you want to bookmark and then click on the right part of the link right below the menubar (in front of the link is a small house icon, thats a link like "where am I").
Now you are getting a list of all aticles in that chapter... find your article and move your mouse to the articles caption... then another bookmark link appears, this one works (at least for me)

I'm not as active on this site as I us to be, but once upon a time I was a C# MVP posting between 600-800 respones mainly in the C# forum per month for several years (well, at that volume probably about 1.5 years or so). That was back before 2005. Are reputation points calculated that far back? Given my "Authority" reputation score it would seem not, but it seems that Author reputation points are more or less correct.

your rep graph[^] seems to suggest you wrote some articles before you had any Authority indeed.

Which is another reason I know it's wrong.
One of the reasons I got an MVP in 2004 is partly because of the amount fo community support I did on CodeProject - all the C# forum at that time.
If reputation is calculated all the way back, did perhaps the relationship of "programming forums" to the old/new "C#" forum change?

I don't know the definitive answer to your question; AFAIK all available logs have been processed (*), so maybe there was no voting system back then, or the votes weren't logged then.
BTW: the "protector" hyperlink in your bio isn't functioning at the moment.
(*) except for downloading files (which have been processed since earlier this year only; older ones will be added, and all of them will be reduced in value).

I don't think they did but shouldn't just having posted one count?

Reputation points are calculated back to the dawn of time, but the issue is now from when they are calculated, but on what data are they calculated.
Forum reputation is based on the questions and answers you post as well as the votes on your questions and answers. Until August 2005 we only had "posts", but after August we labelled posts as questions, answers, general etc.
Authority points are awarded when you answer a question or when your answer is upvoted. Unfortunately for you, life dragged you away from the site just after we made these changes, so your posts, labelled "general" were never counted towards your rep.
However, I'm rerunning the rep calculator as soon as we work through a perf issue and I will reassign posts as "questions" or "answers" through a mix of guesswork and keyword searching. You should get a bunch of points owing.

Thanks for the explanation, Chris. I try to make it back here from time to time. Nice to see so many familiar names still.

And it's definitely nice seeing you again.
I've been bugging Jeff about a Redmond trip sooner rather than later.

Why are CP pages not filling the entire width of my browser window anymore like they used to up until about a week ago?

Look at the bottom of every page. You can find Layout: fixed | fluid
Refer this Clickety[^]

|
|
|

Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Fluid link.

thanks, works fine again.
Wonder why this suddenly changed, has been 'fluid' for years now, just one of those things I guess.

Geekness alert:
It's actually been "fixed" for a long time, but the width of the fixed sized has been tuned to fit a 19" screen, so most people never noticed it. Further, because it's not actually, truly, fixed, but rather just a "max width", it looks fluid on anything smaller than fullscreen 19".
What I have done is tightened it up so that it's more of a 17" full screen view rather than 19".

mmmmm, I don't think so.

Ok, that explains it.

I recently noticed it is possible to edit the title of an article in your bookmarks (or rather edit the title of your bookmark). That can be pretty handy at times, but it does not do much good since the bookmark groups prevent me from really finding what I want (original titles are usually fine)...
I have 5 pages of bookmarks and I just had to find an article about binding in the 'Database' group in my bookmarks. I have some articles on Design Patters in 'Programming Tips' (while I also have 'Design and Architecture' and 'Uncategorised Tips and Tricks'). I even have an article on an ErrorProvider for WinForms under the header 'C/C++' 
My point is that I have to go through 5 pages of bookmarks to find a specific title and ignore the groups. If we could put bookmarks in our own groups then that would be pretty awesome
It's an OO world.
