There's an ethnic voting bloc at work here I suspect.

Sadly I suspect you're right. Yet, looking at the voting on the article, the guy has attracted more my votes of 1 than sh*t attracts flies.

It must have had just enough votes to make a spot.

I think there needs to be some manual filtering then before allowing articles into the "Best article" categories. There seems to have been a fair amount of shill voting on that article to counter the fact that so many people voted it 1. With such a blizzard of downvotes, I'd expect it to have fallen off the radar a lot sooner.

Not from what I can see when I view the logs.

Thanks.

Well, they are a pretty disreputable lot.

This seems hit and miss and doesn't seem restricted to a single server. I've asked our IT specialist to dig in and see what's happening.

I too got this certificate security error.

(using Firefox 3.6.12)
There are no tab UI (that contains Articles, Technical Blogs, Tip/Tricks, ... ) on the main page.
All sections are just listed sequentially.
It seems to be working fine with Chrome and IE8
Max.
Watched code never compiles.

We've upgraded our jQuery UI script to a new version and it could be that your browser hasn't bothered to grab the new version. Pateience, or Ctrl+F5, will fix the issue.

I Ctrl F5 no about 200 times, still the same for me too. Works ok from home...

Can we move this[^] thread to the "Hall of Shame" - it certainly belongs there!
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Ah, cut him some slack, he's an accountant for Christ's sake not a programmer.
On the other hand...

Lol. I already took care of it.

It's Dave. Look at the rambling "drunk" posts he's made - surely it's not cruel enough.
|
|
|
|
|
I was actually wondering if he was sober when he wrote it in the first place... 
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
|

|

With Dave, sober is a relative term.
|

Dave hasn't been sober in years. He's been less drunk than other times, but not completely sober.

Why does the Messages page only show ratings up to one significant digit instead of two?

Budget cuts. Sorry - something had to go.

Get rid of the decimal instead. Nobody likes a period anyway.

It would be nice if we could move a question posted in Q/A to the appropriate forum. The reason for doing this would be if the person asked a question that would be more conducive to a discussion rather than asking for an answer. I did it manually, but it looks like I'm the one that posted the question instead of the original poster.
