My dear boy, you have no idea how emotional I can get.

You must have been oblivious to the 1-wars that caused the end of Soapbox-the-original. Good for you for staying so far above the fray.

about votes of 1 by "haters", I remember I received votes of 1 in all my articles in a single day. Is there a way to detect this?
Best regards,
Jaime.

IIRC, Chris indicated that there was. I once thought of suggesting that the highest and lowest vote be eliminated, but realised that was just an invitation to the children to create additional logins.

I think keyboard navigation in the forum will be useful. I think about something similar with the navigation in Google Reader which uses the same key mappings like vim: j - down, k - up.

Already exists:
try:
ctrl + up arrow / down arrow / left arrow / right arrow

Thanks, but anyways vim-like key bindings will be nice.

Can I suggest VMware's awesome idea?

Cool, eh? 
If you can't understand the cropped image, what's happening is that the user, once he/she completes their post, just before they click post, they can set their tags, manually, or, and this is the cool part, they can choose tags that already exist (based on popularity).
No no, don't thank me, I love this place 
If the post was helpful, please vote, eh!

Actually we're working on exactly this. The soon-to-be-finalised Quick Answers uses a tagging system that is limited to our current batch of attributes, but it's increasingly obvious that free-form tagging is the only real path forward in this.
Now - surely we can at least send you a couple of bags of gold or a bevy of nubile virgins or something to say thank you for your trouble...

No, no, no need! Honest! What, you insist? Well, if you feel that you must, I'll accept a donut and a coffee if I make it to CP premises. Oh oh! And a tour of the hamster cages!!!

Hmmm...I would have used StackOverflow as the example for this, they've been rocking that feature since day one.

CP Team,
For an article after casting a vote of particular weight (giving appropriate reason), when I was trying to exercise the option of readjusting the vote weight it is displaying the following message:
You voted 2 for this article. Revote?
But even after that it is proceeding with a mandatory reason for vote. This reason-demand might not be suitable for revote right?

Thanks - added to the bug list
Hang on - I don't think I fully understand.
When you low vote you must provide a comment. If you wish to revote, and revote low, then yes, you will still be required to provide a comment. If you are changing from 1 to 2, say, then you've changed your mind on something and the author should be told.

We're seeing it in a couple of places sporadically.
An odd one. We're trying to work it out at the moment.

Hi all,
When an article is still unedited, there is a "Modify" link in the upper right corner. But when article is already edited, this hyperlink disappears and you have to send a mail by yourself to submit@codeproject.com whithout any facility provided by codeproject.
I think the link should keep and lead to another page with specific instructions and a button to open a new mail window with target address, subject and basic body info including article's title, author and url.
Best regards,
Jaime.

I'm sorry, but this sounds way too logical. Are you an engineer?
|
|
|
|

Sorry, I am not following you. My point is that presenting a "compose mail" window with pre-loaded information would be useful.
Best regards,
Jaime.

Added to the TODO list. Thanks

Hi Chris,
The improved "Update this article" option is not working well when the title of the article has the # symbol like on mine:
"ZipStorer - A Pure C# Class to Store Files in Zip"
When I press the "Update this article" link, a new mail message box is open, but the mail body is trimmed just before the # symbol.Best regards,
Jaime.
