Good morning,
another thing that I have noticed is... (I don't see it very important though)
When being in the discussion boards, on the left side of the board there is a forums' menu that makes possible to navigate between them. Telling you with an orange little ball, which ones have new messages.
Since the update this menu / message is not always accurate. Right now all forums have that little orange ball and the message says:
O indicates new messages since 5:00 1 Jan '00

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Ok. Thank you. It never happened to me before. Probably the gremlins (not so nice as the hamsters) in my firm are hungry.

It looks like article voting system is not working. I upvoted an article and did a refresh to confirm the same. My upvote was not shown in the total count.
I recently shared my recent articles[^] link and was told similar issue.
Can someone look into it and confirm?

Voting doesn't always show up immediately because of caching.

Ok. Just wanted to make sure that upvotes are being recorded correctly.

... (the ones with the question mark icon) are being tagged as debator answers in the rep system.

A few hours back I submitted my first article here on codeproject.com
Wanted to check if it got approved, so when I checked with my android tablet Ainol Novo Aurora II ICS, it showed me the contents of the article even though it is still pending.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/498507/MATPaint-Simple-App-with-Simple-Features
When I select Request Desktop Site, it shows the pending notice but in normal mode it shows the article.
tested the same with chrome on tablet but it does not show th article and shows the pending notice-

Don't know if it is on purpose, but it looks like the edition editor events are not being counted.
The last one I have in my "latest reputation events" is from 21 Nov 2012 10:54 PM
Not sure if it is deactivated like the voting system on forums or maybe something is going wrong. Since Chris' message[^] doesn't say anything about it, I wanted to let you know.
Edit: Edition --> Editor (in message and subject)
Regards.

Dave told it in a message above. I wanted to say "Editor" events, just choosed the false word.
I mean, when "improve question" or "improve solution", the event is wether being saved in the "latest reputation events" nor counting in the reputation points.
On the other hand, it is since yesterday happening the same with some "Autorithy" events. Posting answers in the QA is wether being saved nor counting up. But I can see, that getting answer accepted, bookmarked or voted up do are being saved and counting up.
Thank you for asking and for the good job you are doing.

Offtopic: Is the new section for industry programming (we talk about some days ago) going to be implemented? I would prepare some articles if yes

Four days I'm waiting until I'll get back my reputation points.
But because I didn't get them back, I ask this question:
Will I get back my reputation points, or not?

Yes, a lot of us are probably. Even though it may not sound to be a big deal, it is for me, because I don't like loosing 3000 hard earned points  Hope we get it back again as Chris pointed out in one of his posts that we will indeed get them back
Cheers,
Karthik

Pete, surely you didn't miss all the frustration in the Lounge? There are about 10-15 active posters who can't wait for the ratings to be back, and even though some of them are seemingly joking, it's sorta obvious that they really want it back.

I'm happy with there being no voting in the lounge. Now, if we can stop the endless whining there and here, then all will be peace and love.
Doesn't stop me poking fun at the rep junkies though

Just a small thing - I can see the report flag on messages and users.
My cat Dij[^]can't: he can't see a flag on teh user or the message.
But my (now sadly deceased) cat Bill_the_Cat[^] can see and report users, but not messages.
Surely if you can report a user (and get the account banned) you should be able to report a message? I could understand being able to report a message, but not a user since removing a user account is a lot more disruptive if done maliciously - but I can't see the logic in reporting users, not not their messages?
(The reason this came up was trying to explain to someone why they might not see the flag to report spam)
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Hi OriginalGriff,
Between you and two cats (one dead, one living), I got lost in trying to imagine the exact scenario you are describing here.
Humor me, please, and explain to me how you can report a message as spam without that also being a report of the user who created the message as a spammer.
"removing a user account is a lot more disruptive if done maliciously:" are you saying that you have personally witnessed user accounts here on CP being removed "maliciously" ? More than once ? Often ?
I'm not trying to "challenge" what you are saying here; I'm just genuinely unable to get a fix on what you are describing.
yrs, Bill

Reporting the message using the red flag does not add a "Spammer" report on the account - so the message can be deleted without the account going - pop over to "spam and abuse" and you'll see that most people now link to both so the account can be closed as well as the offending message(s) deleted. To remove the account (and stop them posting more such advertising material) you have to perform the separate action of reporting the user via it's red flag. Look at this example: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4435537/Q-A-Spam.aspx[^] where a number of messages were reported as spam individually, but the member account was still running, so he continued to post.

How many times did Micheal Martin have his account deleted in a single weekend?

My guess - current scenario of ratings turned of for the forums might be the reason for not having report option...
I was told that even the article new votes are not being counted in currently. Further, I don't see the already provided votes to messages at various forums.
Once, everything is back to normal, if your scenario/question exists, surly it makes sense to ask why so!

The forum reporting system is still tied to the Ratings system (other reporting systems aren't). By turning off the ratings to alleviate the load issue (until I can do a proper fix) it means you can't report messages.
I know. It's annoying. It's bad architecture. It needs fixing.

It's so refreshing when you get management saying that!
