Erm...right... Okay so does the Noise setting set what value classes as a low vote then?
Sorry for my confusion I just didn't think I had changed any setting like this recently...perhaps I did without realising.
Anyway, thanks,
Ed

I doubt if you did that. My settings too got reset, like: "notify me if someone replies my message..." OR Show only publicly available posts
I guess some change triggered these for us. OK for now, so no issues.

I wasn't sure where to put this so Site Bugs/Suggestions seemed like a likely place to get an answer. It's been "bugging" me for a while this one so here goes:
When reporting/approving an article, why when an article has had 5 reports and doesn't get published, does it not show all five member's names who reported it? It only seems to show the names of people who are Platinum in something (or some other selection system?). Can anyone explain what is actually happening and what the logic behind it is?
Thanks,
Ed

No I know how the approvals work - something is published once 5 Editors approve it (not necessarily Platinum - look up the rankings).
What I was wondering was why, when an article is NOT approved, it puts a message at the top saying "This item was closed....by [Editors who reported names]", except that the editors name only usually include 2 or 3 members and only Platinum ones, yet to have been closed/rejected it must have had at least 5 reports. It seems very odd to me...
Thanks anyway,
Ed

Quote: not necessarily Platinum - look up the rankings
How can you find out who approved your article?
|
|
|
|
|
As far as I'm aware you can't - it's an anonymous approval system (which is good).
As per the bug I've reported, you can only find out which Platinum members rejected your article (should that be the case).

Sometimes that's me swooping in to help the flow of the Articles Needing Approval queue. Usually in those cases I am also emailing the author on steps to take to improve, different arena for posting, etc.

Some members (eg admins) have super secret squirrel ninja powers and can close articles with a single vote.

If a user marks all the notifications as read, would it be a good idea to automatically redirect him back to previous page?

I'd personally find that confusing. I'm on page 5, I hit "mark all as read" and I'm now on page 4, which could be a bunch of messages you've already looked at but don't wish to mark as read. I'd rather keep it predictable.

I have several articles with screenshots of older versions that are no longer relevant, some of the images will not let me delete them???
At first I thought it may be opera, but safari and ie do the same thing, so think it is a problem with code project...
There is no error, it just doesn't remove them.
Has anyone else experienced this, or know what is going wrong??
Thanks
Kris

Just a thought, I could be wrong. I think a copy of the images reside here on the servers. Also, could you not just edit the article without the images?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes... but there is an image limit of 10MB... so if you have many versions with different screenshots your space will run out!... also with heaps of images in the right pane it gets hard to manage them all...

I just deleted one of the duplicate "alert" images and it all went well.

Why do I see this button on someone else's profile as well? It appears to the user that we can log him/her off from other places.

It's just an error in the display logic - it's still in beta and was accidentally made visible. You can't actually log off other's sessions. I've removed it.

The subject is indeed interesting, but something went wrong in the approval procedure: this should never have been accepted in this shape.

Not sure if this belongs to this forum or to the soapbox
Anyhow, as you probably know, several games have different kinds of rewards: You do something several times enough, you get a reward. The reward is typically represented as an icon along to your profile.
Why not having something like that on CP? For example, you report 50 posts as a spam, you get a reward "Spammer splatter" which would have a proper icon and so on. These icons would be collected to profile pages and shown with the profile.
I admit, this would be completely useless, but nevertheless it could also be fun.
