Below are the latest issues that have been logged or we are working on. If something has been reported here then no need to mention it again unless you've found the bug in a place we've indicated it shouldn't be, or if you have extra info that may help us squash it.
Current Bugs and Things we are working on
- Performance improvements on some parts that have recently become high load
- Completing the beta of the new question and answer system.
- Testing a new WYSIWYG editor
- Major changes to the member level / points system
- Usability and accessibility improvements
- UI / Layout improvements
- A much improved implementation of our digital certificates page. Alpha
Recent changes
- Fixes to colourisation (or colorization) and the introduction of new languages and an option for adding line numbers
- Member article counts now more accurate, and sorting by count in member lists much faster. (Issue was with new article types)
- A million and one updates to our internal systems that handle ads. I know - why waste all this time on something everyone hates? Hopefully we can make advertising less hateful.

Some suggestions...
Seems like some users forget to accept answers to their questions (they may not even realize that feature exists). Perhaps send out an email 3 days after the last answer to let the user know they should accept one of the answers?
Also, it would be nice to be notified of activity on a Quick Answer question. Sometimes I'll post a possible solution and the OP will add another "answer" asking for more information, but I am never notified of their post.

We are missing reply/comment functionality to the answers posted. Isn't it?
BTW, it seems only both of us are having problems. Hamsters hate us.

There's a forum at the bottom of the question page. We were thinking of eventually getting a forum attached to each answer as well but in the mean time you can use that for discussion purposes.

I think both types of notification would be useful in some form or another. Let me talk this one over with the team.
BTW, keep an eye on the forum at the Quick Answers landing page. There's a Change Log sticky that we're maintaining. Also, it'd be great to have future conversations about Quick Answers in that forum.
Thanks!

Any time I press Ctrl + F5, it just increases the view count by one. This would place the question on top in the Most viewed tab even if actually it is not true.

I'm not sure what other behaviour you are expecting. If you hit Ctrl+F5 you are forcing a non-cached refresh which means the question has been viewed again. It's "View count" not "members-who-have-read-this count".

Latter would be good. Or something like view would be counted only if the window was re-opened. Because I tend to get desperate for new replies on some posts. Hence me doing Ctrl + F5 a lot will boost the view count. Although that will not be actual.
Just a suggestion from my side. 
PS: Anyways, I am not sure one can differentiate between Ctrl + F5 and new window through code.

I agree uniques vs views would be more accurate, but do the benefits of, what is really just a guideline value anyway, warrant the plumbing and data storage requirements?
My vote is that it's good enough for the purpose it serves.

When attempting to post suggested code changes to an article that involved emitting javascript code I found that the only way I could get the code I wrote included in my reply was to turn on do not interpret and not surround the code with a code block. It appeared from what was not shown that some of my code[^] was being seen as an attempt to inject malevolent code - or am I just doing something wrong?

If you try and insert "<script" directly then the system sees you trying to insert a literal HTML SCRIPT block into the forum which is a no-no.
You need to HTML-encode the <script part so that, in the editor, you end up entering "<script".
When you paste code into the editor, and you have "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checked then this encoding is done automatically. If you don't have this checked, or you type the code directly, then you either need to HTML encode (to ensure you're not entering literal HTML) or check the "Do not interpret HTML tags" so the system will HTML encode automatically.

I edited your question for you so it now sparkles.
(but seriously: what would make this more intuitive for you? Can you walk me through your perfect scenario?)

On clicking on that link in my profile page, I get to see the page stating "No entries found". Although I have posted a couple of times there. Here is one link[^].

Sorry, we haven't implemented the ability to view answers on that page yet. The count you see on your profile page correctly counts both questions and answers but the link redirects you to a view only diplaying your questions. We'll try to get this fixed soon.

FYI, I still can't see a count on my page or d@nish's page.

I noticed that "Minor Change" checkbox (as displayed when modifying an answer) has an ellipsis to the right of it that, when moused over, has a short description of what a minor change is and that, when clicked, links to the section of the FAQ that describes minor changes in more detail. That this ellipsis has any functionality associated with it is not obvious at all. Might want to use a question mark icon instead (or something like that). Or, you could do something like the following:
[ ] Minor Change (info)
When moused over, it would give the same info as the ellipsis currently does in addition to saying something like "Click for more information."

I posted the following text into an answer:
The line that says:
<pre>scanf("%i\n",&value);</pre>
Should say:
<pre>scanf("%i",&value);</pre>
However, when I clicked the preview tab, the "\n" was gone and a line break was in its place. It looked fine though after I posted it.
