Good Point. Even i need to vote also a little bit for SA. Yes, I agree, it is boring to read always his comments "that is not bla bla". On the other hand, his comments/Solutions are most time very correct.

You are correct of course. Point taken.

Hi. Today I've submitted my article[^] after its contents were drastically changed at more than 10 percents, but I've got no reputation points for. Is that actually something wrong with the "system" or the moderators decided not to add any point to my reputation ? 
Waiting for Your reply soon.
Thanks a lot.
Arthur V. Ratz.

Can it be a secondary effect of @sean-ewington fast procedure for approving articles updates ?

I don't know exactly, if this is a consequence of the article approval. Probably there's something's wrong with the system.

Look at the revisions of your article, Sean is the Editor for the revision "available" to public.

I agree.

I agree too. When you're submitting an article for the approval, there's no choice of what particular editor will approve the article.
|
|
|
|

Since on revision 2 (first published), you are the Editor, I see no need for a change in updates.
The only reason I can think of is that when Sean is the Editor of an article or update, he can publish it without need of approval from others.
Consequences are that your update is on line faster, it reduce the approval queue, But you get riped from your Editor reputation points.

O'key, I've got it, but I actually don't see what the Editor is doing when approving my article. Thanks for the tip.

Near the reputation graph, go to privilege tab.
Author with platinum level have the privilege Create an article without requiring moderation
So my guess is that Sean is allowed to do this for its own articles. I understand Editor as owner of the revision.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you actually mean?
My article was approved, but I've never seen who particular
approved my article (e.g. the information on what particular
moderator has approved your article is never displayed anywhere).
I'm considering to be the Editor = moderator, Author = creator of the article.
Do you believe that something's wrong since my article was approved?!
Thanks.

See revision 2 of your article: you are the editor and you received Editor reputation points after normal approval process and first time published.
If you are Editor for a new article, there no reason for not be Editor on update.
In http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Reputation.aspx[^]:
Author: Post article A member receives points for posting a new article.
Editor: Edit Article A member receives points for editing an article - changing at least 10% of the content.
Organiser: Moderate A member receives points for approving another member's item as being suitable for publication
For me, it is clear you are the Editor.
PS: I update my article too and did not received point. Just like you.

I've review your post, and noted that Chris Mounder asked you to post a link to your article. Were the points added after you've posted the link?
|
|
|
|
|
No point added, no explanation from Chris, still waiting

Me too. I think that it's not so important if we get those points or not.
I've posted my message in the forum just for inquery.
Thanks a lot for your replies and the reputation guidelines.
Bye.

ppolymorphe, I'm actually not demanding on the points to be added.
I've posted my question just for inquery.

Just a delay after Chris deployed. Its good now.

In the search results there is a thumbnail from the article, it's not showing up for me at the moment.
Could be a loading issue since the site does seem a bit slower than usual for me at the moment.

I haven't had lot of time to read some articles lately but I noticed that there is a lot of noise caused by ads at the end of an article.
There is:
a skyscraper ad on the right (which stays in place)
a rectangle ad besides the license info and the share buttons (right above the author info)
a banner below the author info
And in addition to that there are 4 rows of "you may also be interested in..." before you get to the discussion board
I like to support codeproject by disabling my adblocker but I feel that there are a few too many of them
If you don't know what I mean:
Tell me that this[^] doesn't look cluttered...

It's always a balance and we try really, really hard to not make the ads obnoxious.
When you first view an article you'll see two ads. Just two. Then as you scroll down you'll certainly come across the box ad and finally the bottom leaderboard. The tower ad is in the fixed side column so you can definitely get a situation where you'll see 3 ads.
The "Also read" are to try and show articles and research papers that are relevant and of interest. We want to encourage readers to explore some of the thousands of brilliant articles written by our authors and there's only so much room on a page.
I'm always happy to play around with placement: I could move the social sharing buttons, or move the "also read" to the very bottom (not super useful then) or move the box ad halfway up an article (really tricky since we don't control article layout).
We're a free site and we need ads, but I never want to have the noise outweigh the reading experience.
cheers

Small, possible improvement to the also read "box":
Can you make the thumbnails a bit smaller, personally I don't need them but I can see that they might add something for people and for me they do more harm than good (especially if there is an thumbnail that can't be displayed, that seems to bug me more than it should )
Even on my 24" screen (1920x1200 resolution) that box takes up half the screen, and combined with the "about the author" box and the add in between almost the whole screen, so to get to the comments I have to scroll an entire screen, for new users they might not find the comments section at all like this.
