Thank you very much sir!

From the very beginning, when this feature was first introduced, I notices some inconsistency: when I report some bad question for abuse and see that the question is closes after refresh, the generated list of members was not always correct: sometimes, I saw just one member, which just cannot be the case, is some cases, I saw my name, in some other cases, I did not see it.
But today, for the very first time, I saw a member name listed twice in the same list, and it happened to be my name:
can anybody please help me[^].
It looks flattering, but something is wrong here.

I wonder why should I? I'm reporting on the page content on the page refresh after abuse reporting, not result of some click.

The list of reporters is showing the list for all versions of that item. You reported the item when the item was at version 3, then again at version 4.
It's accurate, but confusing.

That makes sense, but really looks confusing.
And how it explains the absence of the reporting member when I observe that the question is auto-closed after immediate page refresh? Are you saying that I reported on earlier version, and then, before I refresh the page, someone added new version, and then someone also managed to report the abuse one more time, which lead to the closing of the post? It does not look too likely, considering the fact the it is observed often.
Wouldn't it be more logical and simpler to accumulate the list of all reporting members from all version? My logic behind it is: this is because the software performs the closing of the question based on accumulated reports, not based on reports per version.
All right, thank you for the explanation. Anyway, this is really a minor issue, more of a confusion.

Most probably not a bug but my stupid me: The signature that I entered in my profile-settings doesn't show in my forum posts. When I re-open my settings, it's there. I couldn't find anything in a FAQ about it - what am I missing?

Fixed

We need a jedi icon!
Something like Yoda ![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) in robes with a lightsaber or something.
I propose the hamsters of CP could already mock up something for the 4th of May[^] for our mascotte in the top left corner as a proof of concept and use that design for a real icon to be used in messages.
again just a suggestion...

I already have it. I've had it for years.

Probably, so why not use it in the message section next to the other icons? ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

You can tick this one[^] off the list as well now.

It's a CDN. If you look at the source of this page, you'll see that most of the images and stylesheets are loaded from that domain.

Basic Difference Between Local Storage and Session Storage in HTML 5[^]
I just asked author about my doubts as the title says "Difference between..." and there is not a single difference mentioned on the page. When i received response that he uploaded some images but that's not visible at the moment, i found the content has approved version. I'm still not clear why to accept that as Tip/Trick.
QA is already a big mess. If we will start approving even such Articles/Tips, that will strongly affect the overall quality of this site. I think, it has started already e.g. you can have content like this[^] and this[^] as Tip/Trick.

This has been debated many times and was even the object of a poll[^]. A lot of people are seeking Internet reputation or CP reputation just by getting their mate to approve of their articles.
In a nutshell, so far:
- Making public who has approved or rejected an article is, for some reasons I still cannot understand, considered a bad thing. I am convinced it would slow down a little bit the BS approving, for instance because people farming rep points would be clearly identified.
- The reputation points to allow moderation should be set higher, and the moderation privilege shall only rely on technical inputs. I usually take my own case as an example : I should not be allowed to approve or reject articles, since I got this privilege solely from having upvoted posts in the Lounge, which is certainly not an evidence of me having the skills to decide whether a content is appropriate and relevant for the site.
- Filtering quality early in the chain (so reducing the total amount of articles) is not an objective of CP(*) : CP lives thanks to traffic, e.g. number of people visiting, not thanks to content quality, e.g. number of people being happy with content or effectively finding something useful here. The more articles, the more hits on google search, and the more hits on google search, the more traffic... Sorting out bad from good content is done by people up and downvoting articles once published.
(*)This is my understanding of it.
