I have not had any caffeine this morning so bare with me while I attempt to do your reply justice.

We have the tagging text box. Is there a direct, practical way in which we can ensure the correct tag or tags are specified? We can't say "You need X tags" because a question on the C++ syntax specifically requires a single tag.
BillWoodruff wrote: 2. respond in a timely way to questions from members who go to the trouble of asking the OP to clarify what they are talking about.
This is a very interesting idea. What about a surrogate value here: we order questions by the last date the OP touched the question (edited, responded etc)

I really do want the members to close unanawerables

If we had more voting activity then that would be easier. I know that simplifying the voting would help in this regard.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions Bill. We are a small team but we constantly question what we do and constantly wish we had more hours in the day.

Homework questions are acceptable as long as it's not a "GimmeCode" scenario, where there is not even a hint of the OP having tried to accomplish the task on his own.

This was a very useful feature. Any reason why it was pulled? Or is it a bug?

Still works fine on Chrome 13.

I've added this back for IE8.

Still doesn't seem to work. Also, your sig displays as "<small>Microsoft C++ MVP</small>" on IE8.

I've fixed but not yet deployed.

... and I'm not too sure about using the joke icon...
If I was lost in a plane, I'm pretty sure that Microsoft would be VERY low on my list of people to call.

Caligula773t[^] has an interesting reputation graph.

thats not participating in the site.........that's stealing it in its entirety!

Well if you gotta steal, then why not steal the best

I have also just noticed that the reputation graph is not reflective of the overall points.
The graph stops at 80K, the rep score is 120K+, something broke?

I can't reproduce this one.

Try blocking doubleclick.net to repro. It may be why it shows up briefly, then disappears.

It was just one of those fun IE8 foibles.
I will ignore the comment about bypassing the the very thing that allows us to provide this great service to the community.

I too have this issue. I see it flash for a second, then it's gone. :frowny-face:
