Pretty much in all the forums, the View unanswered questions in the ..... forum seems to pull up questions/posts that have a reply, is this something that is going to be looked into?

 Ok, you're excused
OT: Here is an interesting thing I noticed. I posted a bunch of messages in the LAMP portion of CP, when I went back to the regular CP, my profile didn't show the LAMP messages in my recently posted messages. When I go into my profile on the LAMP page, everything is there. On both LAMP and the regular CP member profile, the counts are correct. Not sure what is going on but figured I'd let you know.

Hello,
Take a look at this member[^]. I think there is a problem with the number of messages he posted  .
|
|
|
|
|
Look at his biography:
I like to find security bugs in different applications
|
|
|
|
|
It seems he only posted 6 messages. Deal of the week post 6 messages and get 1,000,000 free

Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

If you want technically clueless lusers you could close this site down and start BeanieBabyCollectorProject.

If anyone clicks on Report Article for an article needing approval, shouldn't that prevent it from being publicly displayed until an editor looks at it? I thought the purpose of the article approval process was to keep junk articles out of public view and off the front page.
I reported this article [http://www.codeproject.com/KB/list/Extended_List_Control.aspx[^]] and now it's on the front page, 1.11 rating and all.

Article Reporting merely puts an article in a queue for us to look at. 99% of the entries in this queue are bogus so we're not going to remove an article just because someone sends an article report that contains a "HEPL ME PLZZ!!" message for their homework assignment.

I believe it's true for articles that are publicly available, so everybody can hit report button including complete idiots who do the stuff you described. But those articles which wait for approval can be viewed only by gold+ members. So I guess that the rate of bogus reports are significantly lower for those articles.

You are right of course, there is something fundamentally wrong in the approval scheme:
it is intended to keep bad articles out, but the only tool we get is a button to
approve an article, since votes are irrelevant (there have been several threads
about ignoring them, resetting them, and what have you) and reporting just queues something.
There is nothing to effectively indicate disapproval.
That is like telling you "try and avoid the rain", while handing you sun glasses.
On the positive side, the situation has been worse, when there was no approval
step at all.

when you click on "Lounge" link. But it loads in 3-4 seconds when you click on one of the Lounge posts on the main page.

What view settings are you using (layout, datefilter)?
Found the issue: turns out we've had to do some DB work in preparation for a new toy which has temporarily put extra load on the site. Should be over in a few minutes

I had the Date Filter set to "Last 3 Months". Then I noticed that when I clicked on a Lounge post (from the main page) that the Date Filter was set to "All". So I changed the Date Filter to "All", clicked Set Options, and now the Lounge loads in a few seconds.
Maybe you should make "All" the default, if it makes that much difference?

Just got the word that everything should no be fine which is probably what you were seeing. Can you try on '3 months' again? (It's actually better for our servers )

OK, now "3 Months" is about 3 seconds to load.
Why does clicking on a Lounge post (on the main page) default to "All" instead of your personal setting?
