I finally got an Android Tablet and can not login here @ CP.
I figured 2 different behaviors:
- Answering in Q&A with entering Nick & PW -> nothing happens
- login via link top right corner -> CP Error page is shown.

I just got my Nexus back from a mate who was borrowing it to keep his 2 year old sane. I'll dig in tomorrow or Tue and see what's happening.
(I know this doesn't help one little bit, but it works perfectly fine on my iPad!)

what OS is your device running? I just tried it with my nexus running 4.2 and it worked first time. I'm stuck.

I was now able to login with the tablet. I don't know what has changed, but it works today.
Thanks for the fast action!

If by "fast action" you mean staring at the code with a dumb look on my face and scratching my head, then you're welcome.

Hey, you just gave the computer the chance to thing about what it did...
hmm, I had tried different things before, something changed now.
Maybe just because I told my WLAN to use full power...

Whilst I understand the reasons behind the voting changes in the lounge, I feel there is a 'Middle Way' to express approval/disapproval in the Lounge.
Have a simple  or  for the posts.
These would not be linked to the reputation metric for the user, but would, in essence, show the popularity/derision for a post.
It would be a community expression to reward the helpful/humorous/original thinking/lateral logic/just plain genius etc that we all enjoy, and would mete out opprobrium to the weak/poor taste/badly conceived/arrogant/obnoxious/offensive posts that we, as the regular visitors, could offer the reward/punishment we see fit.
It would only be measured against the individual post, so it would help to define the kind of inputs to the forum that we enjoy, and would help make a declaration of what was not seen as appropriate.
There have been many posts of late where I have wanted to upvote because of various reasons and feel cheated somewhat that I am unable to reward in some way the perceived cleverness of the OP.
what do others think?

I think Chris has gone a long way to proving that we can live quite happily without the voting system.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I would still want to have 'upvotes' to see and mark good posts. Upvotes helps in selective reading.

Possibly. Personally I rarely look at the score of any posts.

It's not the score, it's color of the good posts that makes it easy to find and see.

Not really for me, as I am red-green colorblind.

Well the colour gives an indication of its score, so it's the same issue.

Agree.
But, with a small difference - Because of color, I don't have to open each and every message to see if it is marked good by number of people.

I enjoy the speculation but the reason the voting was disabled was purely a load issue. I've not had a chance (thanks to the spammers) to make the fix that will re-enable voting.
However, it has been an interesting exercise. When re-instated it will be different than it was.

PEDANT ALERT
You cannot reinstate something different, merely instate (and I would prefer institute rather than instate, although induct could also be used).

I can reinstate ratings. I can make them slightly different though. There will still be ratings.
Or if you want a more precise statement, then: I can just turn 'em back on, more or less, after mucking around with 'em for a bit.

Yes, that sounds much better.

Excuse my late response to your post, Sir David of Dalek (don't know how I missed it), but I think you make a very cogent, useful, relevant proposal.

"What do humans depend on: words ! We're suspended in language: we can never say what's up: or, down. We must communicate experience and ideas, but in ways that do not become ambiguous, and lose objectivity.
For parallels to quantum theory: we must turn to psychology, or to paradoxes thinkers like Buddha and Lao Tzu illuminated, examining reality, as both observer, and actor, in human life's small-scale micro-cosmic drama."
Niels Bohr, 1937

regardless of the number of times I attempt to confirm my email address hsmyers@gmail.com nothing happens. no email shows up---nothing---nada---zilch. i really dislike the various messages you display for those in this situation. please fix...

Maybe it is not CP at fault.
Maybe your/your isp's spam filters are blocking the email(s) from CP?
If you have notifications turned on, do you get any messages from CP? e.g. notification that I have replied to your message.
This is a test of the notifications...

Got your private email message.
See if the notifications work now! Sending ..........click

Dave is there a way to do the equivalent of a trace route on the confirmation email. I use gmail and can view my spam folder as well as the new message folder and as far as I can tell I'm not getting the confirmation request. In lieu of that perhaps you could just manually throw the switch that says 'email confirmed'?
