I noticed that the same happens in the Article Writing forum; if your answer gets upvoted there, you get 10 points with the message "Post a Programming Forum Answer", while the Article Writing forum is not a Programming Forum.

I am observing in CP in recent days, some people are complaining about "Down Voting". Some people are suggesting, remove the down vote button from QA section as like discussion forums.
My suggestion is, the down vote button should only visible, when user hit the "Up Vote" button. Means user can only down vote such item(s) which he/she has up voted. If user does not like the Answer/Post, he can just undo his "Up Vote". The points of down vote should be deducted the same added point after Up Voting.
Sometimes, I like the code snippet/link and up voted the answer, but when I visit the actual link or after trying the code, I found, it is not working as exptecd, then I can undo my "up vote". This can be useful for other developers.

Then don't vote until you have checked first. This whole issue around up and down voting has been discussed too many times; just enjoy the site and stop worrying about it.

If an answer is bad then you should be able to mark it as bad. Just undoing an upvote has the same effect as not voting on it at all, which removes the concept of an answer being so wrong that it's dangerous. This is why downvotes have to continue.

Do you mean the 1 star to 5 star voting? Or am I just blind to where the downvote button is?

I've had this and I have only signed up. Somebody clearly with know knowledge of coding or someone who is jealous that another users answer holds more merit to being accurate than theirs.
My suggestion to this; is to give points to users who vote accurately to helpful suggestions. Votes could be pending review from admins who specialize in whatever language tag the question it for, and if a user who voted votes accurate, and their votes are approved by an admin, they get points for it.
The reason i am suggesting this; as par the sites methods is to provide users/readers with knowledge and accurate answers. If an accurate answer gets down-voted, a reader will be reluctant to use that example.
Does this not defeat the purpose of the site? What do you think?

 I see you have answered 4 QA questions and only one had a 1 vote. That same question also had a 4 and 5 vote. One down vote is hardly abuse.

Hi Ryan, It's not just that post where I received the down-vote, yes that is what sparked the suggestion. But I am reading posts for the past few days that are perfectly fine and yet; get down-voted. Anyway, I've passed on my thoughts on the issue. It would do no harm to moderate votes in my opinion. Lets hope for a resolution. Eh?

Who has the time to moderate the votes? It's hard enough to keep on top of moderating articles, never mind trying to get on top of the votes. I'm sorry, but to me, this idea is impractical.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

We're not moderating votes. Therein lies the path to madness.
The most likely candidate for voting 2.0 is we simply open it up, show who voted, and let the vote wars go nucular!
(OK, maybe not)

Well it would make for interesting reading.

Is there any way to get the files from this workspace?
https://workspaces.codeproject.com/aelij/using-raw-input-from-c-to-handle-multiple-keyboards
Unfortunately I didn't receive any email from CP saying they are shutting down Workspaces, and I don't have another copy of the code.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'll ask Kamil but the chances are slim. We had notices up for 2 months advising members.
Was this workspace connected to an article?
cheers

In that case the downloads for the article should reflect the code that was in the workspace. Update the workspace and the article's code was also updated automatically.

This was not my article, the workspace was forked.

On the CodeProject API, I can access the APIs (except My) without providing credentials/an access token. I read nowhere that you can, so: is this by design?

This is why the API isn't public yet 
We're still completing the APIs and the docs. I'll send you an email when they are fully baked.

Could you try again. I had one API that was accepting non Authenticated requests, but have fixed that, I hope.
|
|
|
|
|
Damn you. I have to get my OAuth code working now.
|
|
|
|

There are some samples in the API Documentation. They are rough, but Chris has made this a priority. Which OAuth flow are you planning on using?
