Don't wonder too much bout the diversity of people in the forum, it hits everyone. 
I am surprised by some of the 'bad answer' votes, but equally about the missing 'good answer' votes.

|

and what about showing rating history where we can see who voted what ?
I'm not sure whats so confidential about hiding it, but if I want to vote somebody I must have dare to show my vote publicly. Something like in article if you vote less than 3 you must write reason. And I'm pretty sure that its not a hard job for you guys to show a list of votes as you are storing each user's vote.

The only things that will come from showing who voted are:
1. Lots of "who is member 826374?" thought bubbles. 7 million members means you probably don't know who voted for you
2. Voting wars. Someone downvotes you, so you go downvote them.
3. Legitimate voters feeling shy and no longer up-voting those who deserve the votes.
It isn't going to happen. Sorry.

thats why we need it, we need to know who voted, so we can take vote seriously. I mean if member 826374 votes me 1, I wont care about it, I know either the user is moron or someone else is holding it for voting.

In accordance with this[^] question, I confirm that I cannot find PHP in the list of languages in the articles submission wizard.
My guess is that PHP got left out by mistake OR (and I think you guys are awesome enough to think this up) populate the list of languages from the tags with with the articles are submitted.
If this is a bug, credit is completely the OP's.
Correct?

PHP is listed under technology, not language, since it's more than just a language.

Well, I just opened my profile and found too many buttons on left menu. But one of 'em looked me new so I just clicked on it(My Uploads) and got a slap from server saying that I do not have permission to view that page.
I mean whats the point, if I don't have permission why show me that link. Making it invisible is much more better than showing it and then kick the user.
I never seen these type of things before in CP, looks like some new devs got in.

Doesn't look rude to me, more of an oversight.
Anyway, that link offers platinum members a way to upload data and link to it; you may need more points to open it up.

you don't have to; you can get rep points by providing answers to questions, publish articles, etc.
It is mostly Debator points that, to some extent, are cheap; a lot of them get "earned" in Lounge and Soap Box; and some Debator points are awarded when your answer gets upvoted but happened to be marked "general", not "answer", in a programming forum.
And then, you probably don't need the upload facility, I for one never used it so far.

Which part of rep needs to be platinum to have access to this?
I'm a platinum authority, debator and participant but for me it's 'Forbidden'.

Hi Dave,
"This page is for Editors and Platinum level members only. This page allows you to upload files into your storage area. Abuse of this system, such as uploading any illegal artwork or software will result in your membership being cancelled." is what it says on that page. I think it is in old speak.
Your and my color scheme are pretty much the same, and I do have access; the main difference is I became gold author recently, and discovered the upload page by following up on Xmen W.K.'s thread, so I guess Author is the relevant component, and gold is the threshold.
So IMO you need another 300 Author points to open the cave. Unlike what the FAQ says, each up-vote (that is a 4 or 5) yields you 10 points [ADDED: that is for articles; Tip/tricks are 5] multiplied by the voter's color weight (silver=2, gold=4, platinum=8). I'll see what I can do.

Makes sense 
I've a few articles that I'm working on that should be finished in the next couple of months. So long as they're not badly received then I should be gold then. 
Luc Pattyn wrote: I'll see what I can do
Only if you think they're worth it, undeserved upvoting is as bad as undeserved downvoting IMO!
Any comments you have on any of my submissions would be welcome though There's a couple of my earlier articles I want to revisit when time allows as I'm not totally happy with them any more.

I second John's earlier comment: it pays off to make a little noise. Getting one platinum up-vote is as lucrative as what a new article yields at the start.
Of course, articles may accumulate votes and points over time; they typically yield 400 points for our top authors.

Sure. That won't be much of a problem, except I probably already did vote on several of them when they became public.

Dude,
I am sure it's an inadvertent coding mistake rather than Chris and Thiru deciding to go all rude on everyone all of a sudden. And remember that they are based in Toronto, not Quebec!

Hi, looks like sorting for a specific tag does not work properly. Go to Latest[^] and click on the tag "GimmeCode"... the resulting page is not a list with questions tagged "GimmeCode" as you would expect. I also tried other tags and none of the links are working.
Bug or feature?
Cheers
/M

Works fine for me. Maybe you have additional filters set?
|
|
|
|
|

At the top right there's a search field and a tag field below it. Clicking one of the tags below those fields will show questions containing that tag at minimum. I.e. it may contain more tags. I've tested with Firefox 3.6.3 and I do see the expected results. Does that make sense? Send me a screenshot if you're still have trouble at thiru, at codeproject.com.

I think I found how to reproduce the problem, step by step:
- First go to Quick Answers[^] and enter something in the field under the search field (you called it tag field), press Enter. For example I have usually "C++" in this field.
- click on a keyword in the tag cloud below (called Drill down), e.g. click on "XML": the resulting page shows entries tagged with "XML" now.
- click on one of the linked tags in the middle part of the screen (left from answers/votes/views). e.g. click on "XSLT" and the resulting page shows the wrong entries.... they are filtered for "C++" (not XML, not XSLT).
- remove the text "C++" from the tag field and press enter, it will show a grey text "Filter (e.g. C++)". Click again on one of the linked tags in the middle part of the screen, e.g. "Linux" and the resulting shows the correct entries... they are filtered for "Linux".
/M
PS: Let me know if you would prefer to see a screenshot.

You're absolutely right. I'll add it to the bug list. Thanks for the detailed report!

Both the Who's Who and the Professional Profile page contain a hyperlink "Questions & Answers" pointing to the Q&A list, which is a two-tabbed page, opening by default on the Questions tab. And, maybe unlike most, I'm most interested in the Answers tab. So I suggest you:
- either default to the tab that holds most entries;
- or to the tab that holds the latest activity;
- or split the "Questions & Answers" hyperlink into two hyperlinks.
TIA

I was thinking the exact same, but mainly for the reason of seeing feedback on answers.
Tabbed to latest action would be best.

Shouldn't be hard to implement that last approach you suggested. I'll add it to the list.
