We've been trying to reproduce this but can't.
One question: when you chose "June 2009" did you change the year and month, or change the year and moth and then click on a date?
If you don't actually click on a date it doesn't change the date picker value.

I just tried it again and realized that if you don't actually click on a day in the month calendar it doesn't enter anything. I was just changing the month and the year and then clicking off of it. Sorry. I wasn't thinking about the actual day as I didn't care what day it was just the month and year.
It's working fine as long as I click on a day.

Any way you could see yourself creating the option to have forums, especially private ones, allow for five-votes i.e. strong approval, without having one-votes, i.e. "I hate you and everything you stand for?"

Don't know why you were voted down by another Gold. I'd quite like to see that, or alternatively the ability to bring voting back, but cut the wire which allows messages to be automatically removed.

I suspect it was Chris. He hasn't forgiven me for my 24 hour gnus channel.

instead one 1-5 vote, a simple 'Yeah Baby' symbol, the more you get the bigger the icon.
Gives you something to aim for.

Then we could go around trying to see which one of us had the biggest one???

I could do the 'Good post/bad post' thing, but voting 5 without a 1 is like a northpole without a south.
And science hasn't yet detected monopoles so I'm not even sure if it's possible.
Ya can't mess with physics.

Sad, sad. You need to study General Semantics and escape from your Aristotelian view of the universe. But I forgive you.

It's interesting that you characterize 5 as being a positive thing, and yet your characterization of 1 is very emotional.
Personally, I think of 5 as "strongly agree", and 1 as "strongly disagree". If I see a post I don't agree with, and a lot of 5 votes, I want to be able to indicate that I don't agree (strongly).
If 1 really has the connotation you indicate, maybe we should have a button with the graphic symbol for "steaming pile of manure", which would function like a 0 or maybe even -1, with an added dose of utter revulsion and disdain, but falling short of "take this pos post off the forum".

My dear boy, you have no idea how emotional I can get.

You must have been oblivious to the 1-wars that caused the end of Soapbox-the-original. Good for you for staying so far above the fray.

about votes of 1 by "haters", I remember I received votes of 1 in all my articles in a single day. Is there a way to detect this?
Best regards,
Jaime.

IIRC, Chris indicated that there was. I once thought of suggesting that the highest and lowest vote be eliminated, but realised that was just an invitation to the children to create additional logins.

I think keyboard navigation in the forum will be useful. I think about something similar with the navigation in Google Reader which uses the same key mappings like vim: j - down, k - up.

Already exists:
try:
ctrl + up arrow / down arrow / left arrow / right arrow

Thanks, but anyways vim-like key bindings will be nice.

Can I suggest VMware's awesome idea?

Cool, eh? 
If you can't understand the cropped image, what's happening is that the user, once he/she completes their post, just before they click post, they can set their tags, manually, or, and this is the cool part, they can choose tags that already exist (based on popularity).
No no, don't thank me, I love this place

Actually we're working on exactly this. The soon-to-be-finalised Quick Answers uses a tagging system that is limited to our current batch of attributes, but it's increasingly obvious that free-form tagging is the only real path forward in this.
Now - surely we can at least send you a couple of bags of gold or a bevy of nubile virgins or something to say thank you for your trouble...

No, no, no need! Honest! What, you insist? Well, if you feel that you must, I'll accept a donut and a coffee if I make it to CP premises. Oh oh! And a tour of the hamster cages!!!
