Hi there!
I have changed only the title of a question and it was automatically marked as a 'minor change', tried it with two questions. A title change is not a minor thing in my opinion, it could mean that the question is something different now and would be good to show it in the revision history.
Hope you like the suggestion.

Hi there!
I wanted to ask, was it previously discussed to force a question as being answered... if it has (reasonably) good answers? I have seen there are QA which have not been closed as answered by the original poster. Maybe because he is still waiting for more answers (which is perfectly fine in my opinion), maybe he has forgotten to accept an answer. Here is an example of the later category, which probably can be "forcefully closed": http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/68682/How-to-know-the-user-Click-OK-on-MessageBox.aspx[^]
This is just an idea. Not sure which problems arise from implementation, I could imagine something like this: Members in gold category can accept an answer (can not be there own, after minimum of 24h hours since posting question, only if the original poster has NOT accepted one). Like the voting system a "forceful accept" will result in a comment under the answer (so it is clear that not the original poster has accepted it). Well, you could just close all questions automatically after a certain period of time, but this suggestion is only about closing questions with good answers.
Hope this helps.

With the ongoing slaughter of spam answers and such it is starting to become difficult to read answers (actual answers)
See here for a example[^]
There are 2 actual answers then a couple deleted ones then again some actual ones and again some deleted one's.
Makes it all very hard to read and follow the thread.
Can't you just not show deleted answers?
Or in case that's not possible although I don't really see the point in keeping them there, can't you push deleted answers to the bottom of the list?
[EDIT]
Seems like CG's idea might be better.
He suggests make a separate group (collapsible) for the deleted answers.
See here for his post[^]

It would be nice to have the
Ask a Question | All Questions | Unanswered | My Posts | Help
buttons at the bottom of the page as well
When a question has a lot of answers there is a lot of scrolling to do to get to the final answer and then all the way back up to go back to the list of questions (I know the back button would work as well but still... )

Hi,
In Code project, we have source code attached as zip files with article.
Most of the time we need to see the code along with the article to understand it.
Majority of time due to network restriction, you cannot check the source code (download restriction).
So is it possible to view source code in web browser using something like this?

Hi,
I had a look at the Q&A pages, and knocked up a mock page from a snapshot of this question http://www.codeproject.com/answers/64382/virtual-method.aspx[^]
The mockup image can be found here; http://www.dave-auld.net/images/stories/dropzone/cp_qa_page.jpg[^]
Here are a list of the page changes and suggestions; There was alot of dead areas on the page so it was really to neaten things up and standardise the layout;
1) Moved the Tags to under the Question Title: Reader can immediately see what areas the question relates to.
2) Move the voting bar below the answer count/votes/views
3) Put a new tools bar below the question/above the edit history, removing the one from the right hand column, this has the benefit of also moving up the message area at the bottom of the screen, making it more likely to be noticed by users, particularly one those with lower vertical resolution screens.
4) Put a statement next to the Add an Answer button to make the user think are they answering a question or seeking clarification/making general comment
5) Used the same tools bar in the answer to keep the layout consistent
6) centralised the Answer vote status over the vote selection
7) Rotate the arrow of the "Your permission blah blah" to point at the question on the right column
8) Move the Question Title to below the horizontal line to clearly mark the question boundary from the buttons at the top
I think it looks better on the mockup, but its upto you and others at the end of the day!
CheersDave

I have seen several instances now of Add Answer being used for seeking clarification or asking more questions, rather than the message area at the bottom.
I think some more descriptive text needs to be placed above the Add Answer button along the lines of; "To seek clarification or discuss this question further, use the message area below. Add Answer should not be used for this purpose"

When posting a short answer to a question, you get a message saying "The content must be at least 30 characters."
That's fine, except that causes the question to disappear. Given that you are required to increase the size of your answer, it seems like it would be prudent to continue to show the question (for reference).

Every now and then I decide that my vote was a little rash and that I'd like to take it away. I don't want to change the vote, because the post is not exceptional and not offensive, so I would like to take away my vote and let others decide what they think of it. Here is a conversation that somewhat conveys such an instance (I'd like to get rid of one of my votes).

When I view one of my answers by going to my answers list and clicking one of them, I get a URL that is specific to that answer. Even if I remove the anchor portion from the URL, the page is able to redirect me to the anchored url. It would be nice if I could click a "permalink" button to get a link to the question rather than the answer.

The box that tell you how many answers a question has is at the moment orange when the number is zero and green when it's more than zero.
There's also an orange frame around it when one or more answers is marked as accepted, this frame is hardly visible.
Id like the box to be green when an answer is marked as accepted and for example light yellow when the question is having answers.

I know there is a forum part in the bottom of every question, but I'd like to see one also for the answers, so that the person answering would get a notification in case the OP would like a clarification of some kind, or if a small discussion on the subject would emerge.

My suggestion is to make the Suggestions and Bugs list for quick answers appear in the drop down menu of the quick answers.
Or make the report a bug and suggestion links a little more obvious. I did eventually see them on the right but only with a bit of searching.

Suppose there is a question in QA. Somebody then posts an answer, but I notice it is incorrect and I post the correct answer. It would be nice if I could "nudge" the author (e.g., have CP send them an email) of the original answer so they know to review the changes I made to their answer and the answer I added. Naturally, there'd have to be some restrictions.
1) Only somebody who posts an answer should be able to perform a nudge.
2) An answer author should only be nudged once since the last change was made to the question (question edited, answer edited, answer added, post added).
3) Maybe allow the nudger to add a note to the notification.

In the article revision list a message box appears, when more than two checkboxes are selected.
This is OK, but it would be more comfortable, when the message box appears after clicking the Compare button.
When I walk through the revisions, I want by force of habit first select the new revison and then deselect the third, not needed revision.

1.When in editing mode, specially when writing a new post or question...CP should take advantage of onbeforeunload js event. I mean that if you're closing the window without submitting it will ask for confirmation.
2. Create a watermark for preview. What happened last that I wrote a big post and clicked preview...then I got busy in some other work and when came back I didn't realize its preview and I closed the tab. And that hurts you know 
3. Add Toolbar in quick answers editor, like in other CP editors

It looks like it is just used to fill up the space. Not suggesting anything instead of that and this is not even remotely a bug. I just got to see that first time today so brought to your notice. It is lying under "My Posts" link.

Check out this question. I think everybody (including the author) can agree that it should be deleted. However, I think there is a rule that says any question having 3 or more answers cannot be deleted. While this seems like a good idea most of the time, there should be a way to delete these questions that are of little value. Here is one way to enable that...
When there are 3+ answers, replace the "Delete" button with a "Vote to Delete" button. Once the number of votes is high enough (higher than the number of answers?), take some action. Perhaps just delete the question. Or maybe send a notification on the CP staff that they should decide whether to delete it or not. Or maybe the rank of a user (gold, platinum, etc.) gives them the ability to finalize the delete (i.e., the above question would require 3+ votes to delete and one of them would have to be by a platinum member or two would have to be by a gold member). Anyway, there's a bunch of ways that could work, but it seems like there should be some sort of automation to get rid of those questions.

I've experienced several occasions where I post and answer, and the OP has been required to respond in some way to correct an ambiguity in their question, or ask for more details. Every time so far they have responded by posting their own Answer to their own Question.
Perhaps it could be made clearer where comments and additional info can be posted (in the forum part at the bottom). It might also be nice to have a direct reply button on each Answer, (that possibly created a post in the forum below that was linked in some way).
Also so extra email notification on changes and new messages. For example if I post an answer to a question, it would be good to know if the OP (or anyone I suppose) posts a message in the forum, as that post may often be an additional question related to my answer. Perhaps the ability to reply directly to answers would assist this.
[For example - see this question[^] where (at the time of writing) the OP has posted several responses as answers despite my message in the forum to indicate otherwise]
