I've been trying for about 3 years to determine the exact hour of Leslie Nielsen's demise.

Mea culpa.
I hadn't noticed it mentioned recently and I failed to search the Forum.

No problem. My post will be lost in the mists of time, but Soren's is more recent...

I feel like it is my fault [^]. If I had just stayed quiet back then, it might have been working correctly now.

I think I first complained, then learned to live with it, around three years ago. Got the impression at the time that server time was subject to summer time and someone got the +/- an hour screwed up, but it's so long ago it's faded from the little grey cells.

If you follow the link I have to my post on RootAdmin, you will see that one of the three posts I link to there, is your 3 year old post[^]. 
BTW, to keep me sane, my current workaround is to set my timezone in the CP setup to one hour ahead of my actual TZ. Or is it one hour behind...I really need to get some  .

I posted the link to an article on LinkedIn. The article shows up, but the text is coming from somewhere in the middle of the article.
What can I do in the article text to make a proper text appear?
|
|
|
|
|
I believe that this is controlled by the consuming system.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes it is. But for facebook you can add a meta tag to control the short description. But I don't think the header of an article template is under control of the poster.
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately I have not investigated how LinkedIn determines page abstracts.

according to the "Latest Reputation Events" page... pretty sure that shouldn't be that much.
[Resolved] Resolution: I can't read.
[Modification] Wait... there's conflicting info... see the threads below.

Thank you for your honesty. Now please just hand over those reputation points to me and I'll make sure to get rid of them for you. Nobody needs to know this ever happened.
|
|
|
|
|
Just send me your bank account information and your social security number for verification purposes and I'll send those pesky points right over! 
|
|
|
|

AFAIK, it's rep based. If a Platinum member marks a question as solved, 25 is multiplied by a factor 8, just like at other places. Thus 200.
|
|
|
|
|
Well then... nevermind... I should read that point weighting system sometime... 
|
|
|
|
|
No, as you can see here[^], 'Answer Accepted' is NOT weighted!
The quick red ProgramFOX jumps right over the Lazy<Dog>.
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, now I'm REALLY confused... so what's the bug? That's it's being weighted or that they forgot to mark that on the rep system page? 
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wow.
|
|
|
|
|
Bug confirmed and fixed.
"Answer accepted" was being weighted by member level when it should not have been.

Sounds good...

Sorry for bringing this up again. But I just got 50 points for an accepted answer (member with silver authority reputation).

Author Reputation Point calculations seems to be buggy(since a very long time).
For eg: I have two articles and two tips, all of them got avg rating 5.0 ie no downvote. Article and Tips toatal vote is 10.
1 article has been downloaded 2093 times and other one 175 times.
Artcles book marked 20 times.
Tips book marked 12 times.
But my author reputation points are : 2080...
Please review.
Thanks,

For this one, AFAIR, you don't get points every download. It's once per unique download. By unique, I mean, if I download 10 times you will get points only once but download count will be +10.
Further, all the voting/points are reputation based so you will not be able to know what weight-age to use.

Last I checked, there were also daily limits on certain types of reputation points (e.g., if all 2093 downloads happened the same day, maybe only 100 of those would count towards reputation).
