No, I'm pretty sure it was a British Airways chicken.

Views to Votes ratio

It seems the ratio of views to votes on an article, from limited experience, varies from around 2000/1 to 4000/1, which begs the question. Are we being suckered into believing that thousands of people have read our articles when really they're only read by web crawlers and search robots or do real people read them and then only 1 in a thousand has a definite opinion on what they've read.
My guess is it's somewhere in the middle, perhaps Bob has some thoughts on this?

I suspect that it weighs heavier towards the web crawlers.

You may be right, they certainly read faster. I wonder given that we don't want to keep them out but that there are ways to do so whether it's possible to let them in but not to count them, perhaps a Bugs & Sugs entry is needed.

I am currently writing about a server farm-compatible login functionality in ASP.Net 4 and just asked myself if I'd rather post it as an article or a Tip/Trick?
Url: http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/535520/Basic-Login-functionalities-for-ASP-Net-4-0[^]
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Nevermind. The whole thing became IMO too big to be a Tip.

cheers,

It needs a bit of work on the formatting, and that bright green is hard on the eyes. But as far as the content goes I would say it's more an article than a tip..

I have not received any response. So posting the question again.

I have a article [ Versatile Tree Control[^] ]where I have added image and during preview it was working fine. But after submitting the articles only some of the images are shown.

Try editing the article to see if you can modify the URLs per my suggestion of yesterday.

Re: Images are not shown

Press Ctrl+F5. ~~I can see the images in there - I don't see any areas that look like images are missing.~~
Cancel that - I was looking at the old version of your article.

Thanks.Now I'm able to see the images with out pressing CTRL+F5 itself.

Babu_Abdulsalam30-Jan-13 19:13

No there is some issue in displaying the image. I'm not able to see the images [ even after CTRL+F5 ) and some of the users also posted the query in my article.

Take a look at the actual URLs for the images. There seems to be a problem with the ones that have the full address; it looks like they include a subdirectory that does not exist in the tree.
