I suggest, to show only one update entry per day/author on the home page.
An advanced mode could be, to group the daily author updates into the latest/newest entry.
[Edit] Trick/Alternate(s) should also be grouped.
|
|
|
|
|
Why?
An updated article is an updated article.
|
|
|
|
|
The article update section is a prominent area for new articles.
If an author updates multiple articles consecutively, any previous published article has a much smaller presentation time slot.
|
|
|
|
|
So an author that updates multiple articles gets penalized?
|
|
|
|
|
No. The newest article would be visible. Also a grouping option disarms a penalization.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh, I see.
If the "grouping option" was something like a "+" expando block, then that would make sense.
|
|
|
|
|
As an author, if I post(or update) two articles I will very much want to see those two articles listed.

Got that in my reputation history. The "Event" and "Reputation" cells were empty.
|
|
|
|
|
It seems, that article downloads are affecting now the reputation.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks Jani!

I have the impression, that this feature should be improved:
- the Web-Server 21/22/24 returns empty values for 'Event' and 'Reputation' (Web02 is OK)
- the link to the source article is missing
- downloading the own article creates two entries (2 and 5 points)
- no restriction: any downloading is counted - can be misused to increase a reputation

Well they usually upload a version first, then fix the live bugs, and upload the bug fixed version. The live site always throws out some errors that their staging server does not. So I guess this will be resolved in a few days time.

I should make that my sig.
However, this one was particularly awkward because it's release schedule corresponded to me being away on holidays (Sorry, "holidays") and the dev who did the work also being away. We screwed up the UI / experience and we'll fix it. The important thing is that we're recording the data and once we tweak it it will be as good as gold.

No Problem.
It's really a great new feature which honors more the article writer!

It would help if we knew *which* article the download happened on.

The option to not have email sent when a forum post is replied to no longer seems to work. Clearing the checkbox is pointless, as it is not persisted properly (check returns after save). Seems to have become broken a week or two ago...
Note: not the option just below the reply, but the default setting on the personal settings page.

We had an issue with preferences not being stored correctly that we've addressed, but please let me know if you see this happen again.

and challenge to Chris's meaning what he says[^]

and the reason you haven't voted to remove it is ?

It's the SoapBox, what do you expect?

What's wrong with that thread (note: I didn't read beyond the OP)?

Ah, US politics. I suppose voting to remove would be the appropriate action.
