I'm getting the same thing.

Are you still seeing this? In Chrome 15 I cannot, for the life of me, replicate the issue.

Every 'question field' can scroll up and down just a little bit now. Nothing annoying and barely even noticable.
I couldn't replicate the bug and I've tried in about ten different questions.
Actually I think I haven't seen this bug for about a month now.
Seems fixed, magically(?) 
It's an OO world.

I 1-voted an answer to one of my questions, and the site automatically accepted the answer as a result. I had to manually reject the solution to un-do it.

I posted an alternate this this tip/trick. My alternate does not contain a download, but the original tip/trick does. I just got a reputation point for a download of that file.

The article RSS feed used to show the author's name in the "From" column, which was really useful. Since the beginning of this year, it always just shows "<The Code Project Latest Articles>". Could we have the author's name somewhere in the feed please?
I'm using Thunderbird as the reader.

As a follow-up to the CP celebrities interviews, CPians could make/upload a short introduction video of themselves and of their work environment, which would be linked/available from their profile page.
(Not that it is not possible now to post a link in one's bio, but it is more to institutionalize the idea, and somehow find a way to make it easily doable for everyone. I hope I am clear  .).
Just a weird idea maybe, but I submit it here, maybe someone could make a concept out of it.

stop talking about votes and reputation (even if you are joking, which I highly doubt).
You should be happy you even get recognition and points on this site. Most sites just give you a swift kick in the ass and an exit sign.
Just along for the ride.

Just giving you a vote to increase your reputation for not talking about your rep..... errrr.

I didn't ask anyone to vote. So I really don't care.
24 wonderful, glorious points, if you really must know.

I know you are probably being semi-humorous here but the reputation system is what keeps Code Project competitive today. If CP hadn't adopted something like it, it may not have been able to catch up with other sites like MSDN forums (where they have a new status/medal/points system) and Stack Overflow (where they have a very similar and more complex rep score system).
Sadly, I personally know that Chris had this idea way before sites like Stack Overflow were born. I don't know the exact reasons (I am guessing lack of time) but he delayed implementing it on CP for a long time (and by that time other sites came up with the same ideas).
Most people who seriously contribute here (responding in Q-A, forums, writing in-depth articles) do it voluntarily but the vast majority of them enjoy the psychological boost they get out of the rep scores. The reasoning is similar to why major software companies have MVP programs. It allows volunteer contributors to keep relative track of how they contribute over others. It’s for the same reason that charities have a hall of fame of their top contributors. Even the really good guys need their egos boosted, because they are human and that’s a good thing.

Maybe in part but not in entirety. However, I know what you mean.
I go to a lot of different websites for my coding insight, research, and general knowledge (i.e. answers  ) but I ALWAYS come back here. This site has something that not even Stack Overblow or other sites have...personality.
I love this site. I think most of us do and we will do anything and everything to keep the hampsters well fed.

I like a good ego boost every now and then, this is true. However, I am not for new an inventive ways of boosting my ego; such as, where and how can I get more ego points.

Well, I don't know if you're being serious or not, but you've obviously missed the point by a very wide margin.
Two things happened simultaneously when CodeProject unleashed the rep system. First, the rep system became a goal unto itself, totally distinct from any underpinning in reality, or whether the member in question has made any true contribution to the community; second - and probably more detrimental - the CodeProject site became a huge online game, complete with rules (that can frequently be circumvented), winners, losers, rewards in the form of rep points, and a shooting gallery (Q&A Forums) that has become very popular for a quick break. Ironically, the rep system itself has probably done more to harm CodeProject's reputation than any other change since the site began.
If by "keeping competitive" you mean lowering the maturity level to that of sniveling teenagers, then yes, I agree with you - we have arrived at that level. So when you talk of "the psychological boost they get out of the rep scores", I have a vision of a new forum devoted entirely to rep points. Pointless and ludicrous, but why not? We already have entire articles devoted to scraping rep points.
The next time you talk to Chris, ask him how many hours he puts into chasing down rep point snafus and complaints. This is the wagging tail of the great CP Game.

I think, Hans, you have missed the point too, a little.
Many people truly enjoy having recognition of participation.
