We have an open bug that the "minor change" isn't being set correctly. This will be fixed.
Editing can also be moving into a better section or changing tags. However, these should set the minor change to TRUE (which they will. Soon)

Great - I was quite sure I had seen it somewhere...

But what if you change tags AND provide a significant edit of the content?

I often find myself editing questions that does not change the OP too much, but clarifies in terms of spelling, syntax and grammar, just to make it more easily readable and therefore answerable.

I know, but in this case it literally showed no difference...

Ah, that is a horse of a different colour, and if tagged as 'Minor Change' should be highlighted thusly.

I'm pretty sure 'minor edits' don't award any reputation points.

QA comments - sorry to bring them up again, but I just noticed that < and > characters get consumed by the HTML when you add them to a comment. So when you write a comment asking for a code fragment in <pre>...</pre> tags it looks a little silly!
Since there are no "<" and ">" buttons as there are with a "normal" message, you have to manually type them as < and > in order to see them in the resulting comment. For a beginner, this is not obvious!

so your comments look "a little silly" and you want to blame Q&A?

I only read formatted code with indentation, so please use PRE tags for code snippets.
I'm not participating in frackin' Q&A, so if you want my opinion, ask away in a real forum (or on my profile page).

90% of the stuff on there I've never heard of and never used, of the remaining 10% I can't vote on it because I'm forced to vote on the other 90%. Is this just a thinly veiled piece of marketing fluff or an actual survey? Do you want people to just randomly click away on the stuff they've never heard of?

It's an actual survey and we'd appreciate your help.
How about I add a "No opinion" option to each question.

After reading this thread, i went to the survey section(though i couldn't find a direct link on homepage to the survey in question, which all together can be another topic!). I saw this survey[^]. Went through the options.
I too didn't knew most of them. There should be an option that takes care of such scenarios where OP has no idea of any or most of them.

The books question's answer choices of Wrox and Apress was extremely incomplete. At the least the following three should have been there : Addison Wesley, Microsoft Press, Manning. I had to vote for None of the above.

It's a short list. We're using this to determine the winners from the top entries in the Catalog.

Ah okay, that makes sense now.
I went to the poll via the Daily newsletter. And it was not very obvious from the wording what this poll was about. Code Project's Members Choice Awards sounded like the ASP.NET Pro Mag's reader's choice awards. So basically, only those entries from the Catalog are included.

That's exactly it, Nish. No matter how many times we tell vendors/publishers/etc they are going to miss out they still don't listen ... until their competitors win .

Can "none of the above" win?

I keep hoping they'll add "None of the above" as an option on the electoral ballot

That would work but in terms of useful information gathering I think a "Never heard of any of these choices" would be good as well because then you could go back to those people and say "hey! You should advertise more here because a significant part of your target market has no idea who you are".
My feelings as I filled it out were "never heard of any of these" or "why isn't product xxx here as a choice" or "I don't actually use that technology or need it even though I may have heard of those".
But I guess not applicable no opinion would get the survey done.
