I have a feeling this has brought up before, but here goes:
Maybe it's just me, but I find it really irritating when forum questions are in bold red, due to a single vote of 5 usually (if not all of the time, I am quite sure) becaseu the OP has signed in again with a second account and "voted" themselves up this way. Personally I refuse to answer any such questions just because of that. It's... cheap, tacky, dishonest and distasteful. And probably a few other things too.
If it was down to me, I'd disable voting on questions, and thus restrict voting to answers only.
(Then again, I suppose it helps highlight which users are cheap, tacky, dishonest and distasteful, so maybe keep it after all!  )

Occasionally a question is asked which is so mind boggling and the OP has obviously put so much effort in that it would be churlish not to recognise the brilliance of the question. While these are few and far between, they do sometimes happen and I, for one, like to let the OP know that they have taken all the right steps so far.

So it takes authority to rightfully up/down-vote a question? Maybe the availability of question voting tools should be linked to rep color then.

I don't think so. It should take a bit of common sense which is, sadly, not very common.
|
|
|
|

common sense isn't measured at the moment. it probably takes a delicate instrument.

I think voting on the questions should have one option - Bad Question. If it's not a bad question, the user simply doesn't click the (only available voting) button.

Sadly, mine doesn't. "Vigilance, vigilance, vigilance" is my motto for CP now.

And here was me thinking your motto was "Drink. Get drunk. Fall over."; I am a Silly Billy.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction.
My work here is done.
or "Drink. Get drunk. Fall over." - P O'H
OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre

That's not my motto - that's my mission statement. That's the one that leads to the lack of vision statement.

"Your Date Filter setting means you have run out of messages to view." got displayed at the top once, on a yellow background, but it disappeared when I moved away from the page. Anybody else get this?
(no big deal, just in case you want to know)

Got it again. Here[^]
Happens when you press Ctrl+PgDown.

Seems I've got myself a secret admirer. How flattering.

Well that was quick. He's gone. Chris's magical powers must be improving, even the votes are gone. That is rather a pity because my drivel-ish posts look ridiculous with 5 votes 
Maybe you should change your role to Trollseeker. Find them before they do any damage 
Completely off topic - did you notice the F@H stats page is missing its banner at the top? I couldn't figure out where the settings are, or who holds the keys...

We need a spell checker for the search engine. I typed calculater instead of calculator and it didn't try to find both. It would be nice if it realized the misspell and corrected for it.

I'll add this to the feature list for search.

The mysterious feature list. One of these days, you have to make it (temporarily) public so that we can see it.
|
|
|
|
|
Use Chrome instead. It has a built in spell checker.
|
|
|
|

I do. I just didn't wait long enough to see when I hit enter.

If you open up Q&A, the bottom of the page will have a "Page 1 of nnn [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10]" at the bottom, as it should be.
But, if you then open up "Unanswered" or "All Questions" from there, the page number block gets squished together, overwriting the first few pages in the list
This does NOT happen when opening Unanswered or All Questions from the dropdown.
(using IE7, anyway)

I'm not seeing it from this end. Is it still happening for you?

Nope. Seems to have cleared up. It was still doing it earlier this week, but.... Weird.
