I think Chris should at least give this a try. It could be the monthly competition with a huge prizeand recognistion if anyone could filter everything and anything I threw at it.

How is Chris and the CP crew going to wire up 9,333,295 cameras and microphones? This might take a while.

A lot of negatives on this proposal:

2) Chaotic

So my iAAAOTD post in the Lounge got some negative votes. No problem! However, I see 4 votes and only 3 in my reputation page (-16, -2, 24). Since 24 is higher than the two combined, I'm expecting a vote greater than 3. Since it is a 2.89, I'm assuming it's another -16. How come I can't see it even after I refresh a few times?

Nah. It came up after a bit so I'm good. However, one of them is a spam with 0 points and it says there are six votes, not five. So one is still missing.

You received 3 upvotes, and 3 downvotes, and a vote of 3. All votes and all rep events add up from what I can see.
Most likely you were seeing caching weirdness.

Hi CP,
Please check the Image links in question read data from pdf files using c#[^], which are currenltly linking to page not found.
I checked the question by "Improve question" link and found that URLs are correctly posted like
<a href="s8.postimage.org/owm0hsej9/Qbank.jpg">Input Pdf file</a>
<a href="s13.postimage.org/4toy70lqf/Resulting_String.jpg">resulting string in Window</a>
But in the question when I hover on these links, I can see that it is appending the question URL (http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/474627/) before the actual image URL and the links are like below which is wrong...
1. http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/474627/s8.postimage.org/owm0hsej9/Qbank.jpg
2. http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/474627/s13.postimage.org/4toy70lqf/Resulting_String.jpg
Please fix this...
<<edited>>
Please check Revision 2[^] for the issue as it is revised by OP now and links are working... because the new links are started with http:// like
Input Pdf file
resulting string in Window.
So, the issue is without http://, it is not working. Please fix this...
<<edited>>
Thanks,
Tadit

You need to put "http://" before the URL in the quotes. This is how browsers work.

But the image links don't have "http://", still they are opened by browser and if u can open u will also see that there is no "http://" appended before the URLs.
Check the URLs below in the browser.
1. s8.postimage.org/owm0hsej9/Qbank.jpg
2. s13.postimage.org/4toy70lqf/Resulting_String.jpg

Modern Browsers will prefix the http:// if it is not there. There is no way a link is going to work without http protocol.
Just try this.
Open the links you have listed in the browser of your choice. once you see the image. copy the link from the address bar and paste on Notepad. you will see http:// prefixed link.
They hide the http:// from displaying, because it is obvious that we are using HTTP protocol. and to make the UI cleaner.

Hi CP,
For example take a look at the Print button present inside About Article box at right side in this article[^].
When you hover on that button, you can see one thin blue color line is appearing behind that, which can be seen between the gap of Print button and Email button.
I checked the css code in file Main.min.css?dt=2.6.121006.1[^] and found that the below code
a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}
is causing one underline on that link, which is coming as a blue line in that gap.
Can this be fixed ?
Thanks,
Tadit

Hardly a day goes when I do not visit CP. I admire the commitment and passion of the founders.
Just curious to know how things work behind the scenes. What is the data layer like? How many servers? What search engine has been used? How are advertisements picked up? How much of this is custom development?
thanks,
Saurabh

The site is mainly run by hamsters, and driven by Chris. The hamsters have put some information about the server at the bottom of the "About" page[^]. Above it you have some of the humans assisting Chris in managing the hamsters.
Advertisers are picked up by choosing those who sent the best advertisement gifts.
Hardly anything is custom development, it is all based on Bob's work (it took him seven days to bring the site to life, find Chris and enroll the hamsters).

Do you watch the Muppets? If so, think of a scene where all the muppets are running around in a panic waving their arms in the air wailing.
That's close.
At a technical level, though, it's plain, old-school ASP.NET 4.0 webforms using a totally out of date architecture (we started writing the initial .NET code in 2003). It's all custom dev, we use no ORMs, it's all hand coded, carefully crafted and beautifully polished and totally overdue for being thrown out and rewritten with 20% of the code using modern tools and sensible design patterns, an abstracted datalayer and a more RAD dev environment. I'm not even sure if we'll go to .NET 4.5 at this point.
4 web servers, 1 database server (with live failover) serves all the web content. This is down from 10 servers and 3 database servers a few years ago. We just got sick of managing servers so streamlined.
4 search servers run a custom Lucene.NET install. It can run on 1 server, but we have spare and like redundancy. Mail forwarders are all linux. Advertisements are all served using DART.

Hi There,
The current voting mechanism seems to be confusing for many people. If I understand correctly, 1,2 is downvote, 3 is neutral and 4, 5 is upvote and it is weigted by member level.
However, one of my answer got accepted and user posted "Thanks it worked" kind of message and clicked first start without knowing it means downvoting.
So I have one question: Is there a difference between 1 and 2? And for that matter 4 and 5 ?
If not, one suggestion, can we not just have Up and Down voting button/arrow (like StackOverflow and some other forums? This will definitely reduce the confusion.

Most people like the current system and, in general, it works well. Occasionally people confuse 1 and 5 but in the long run it is no big deal.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Thanks Richard for answer.
Its not about confusion between 1 and 5. Sometimes member, while clicking 1 start are really not aware that they are downvoting and in turn reducing points of the solution provider....Rather they are thinking they are giving 1 mark out of 5 possible mark.
Since the stars are in one line, it gives illusion of grade i.e. 1 out 5 , 5 out of 5.
Hope I am claearing what I am trying to say.
