I quite like it. All it needs now is the ability to hide or reorder the items and I'm set.

Sorry guys - not sure what happened but will get it sorted.

Without a box around it, there's nothing to indicate that it isn't static text until you over your mouse over it on he setting page.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

I'll add some text to make it clearer.

A thought has occurred to me whilst perusing The Lounge.
<Eeyore Mode>
It has probably been suggested before, I never have any original ideas. 
Almost certainly no one will agree with me either, nobody ever likes my ideas.
</Eeyore Mode>
Anyway, here goes. In The Lounge, and The Lounge only, is there any value in making a 1 vote a 1 vote regardless of the status of the voter, and obviously a 5 vote a 5 vote.
With the Reputation Scheme being a distinct possibility, a poster only has to upset a higher ranking member for it to take a disproportionate number of high votes to get a real picture of how a post is really perceived. On the same basis it might be a case for a simple 'Good Post/Bad Post' mechanism.

The current system already weights votes disproportionally. A Gold member has way, way more voting weight than a bronze member.

That is what I mean. For The Lounge it seems to me that a members status should not alter the weight of the vote cast. A 1 should be a 1 and a 5 should be a 5, no weighting.
Only in The Lounge though.

Would it be possible to implement the same functionality for article voting to the forum responses. i.e explain why a 1 or bad question vote was given. The goal would be to possibly stop the petty down votes or at least identify patterns. People are less likely to give "because I don't like you" votes when they actually have to explain it and be identified.

Only if the removal threshhold is significantly lowered and all My Vote to Remove messages are deleted with the original.
I really don't want to see the below vomited all over the lounge whenever our most obnoxious soapbox troll crawls out from under his rock.
Random Subject - The Troll (message contents: something offensive)
My Vote to Remove - Regular member 1 (message contents: keep it in the soapbox)
My Vote to Remove - Regular member 2 (message contents: you're an idiot)
My Vote to Remove - Regular member 3 (message contents: go away!!)
My Vote to Remove - Regular member 4 (message contents: SOAPBOX!!!!!)
My Vote to Remove - Regular member 5 (message contents: TROLL!!!!)
My Vote to Remove - Regular member 6 (message contents: Enough already)

Of course, the lounge and soapbox would certainly be expections

P.S. I can read html formatted e-mails fine, so I don't think the problem is with my e-mail software or configuration.

Your account says you've opted for Text formatted, not HMTL formatted emails. Which email client are you using? If it's Outlook it may have removed extraneous (it its NSHO) line breaks which has broken the formatting.
options:
- ensure your client is displaying Text emails correctly with messing with them
- change your preferences so you get HTML emails instead.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I can view text e-mails from others with no problem. I am using Windows Mail, I looked at the settings/options, doesn't seem to have anything that will strip the line breaks from incoming e-mail.

Can you please forward me the email you recieved? (chris at codeproject)

I get this all the time - the article update email always looks weird (all the line breaks are removed it seems). This is with Gmail (but Xiang seems to have got it with a proper mail client too).
Let me see if I can forward one such mail to you (not sure if I have kept those mails).
|
|
|
|
|
Ok I've forwarded one such email to you. I had to do it twice, as the first time, Gmail did some auto line wrapping - the second one is more accurate.
|
|

|

Probably doesn't help you a great deal, but I've seen the exact same thing (Yahoo mail in my case).
Cheers,
Vikram. (Cracked not one CCC, but two!)

On my MyCodeProject page, the link "View latest articles" in the Articles section links to the latest blogs, and my Blogs section doesn't have a default link.
A little bug?

When I look at Sean Ewington's page, it says he has 2 articles (to the right of "Articles Submitted"). However, when I go to the page that lists his articles, it says he only has 1 article (more specifically, it says "Articles by Sean Ewington (1 article found)" at the top of the page). Also, only one article is listed and there are no technical blogs. Off the top of my head, I can think of 3 causes for this:
- He is working on an article and it counts toward his article count, but I don't have a high enough user rating (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) to see it (or it is a work in progress so nobody can see it yet). I'd say this is confusing and should be fixed. Perhaps the article count should only show the number of articles I have permission to see. Or, the articles page should show the true count of article and it might say "there are X more articles you don't have permission to see".
- He deleted an article, but the total article count has not been adjusted. Obviously, this should be corrected, if this is in fact what is happening.
- There is some other bug.

Hmm. We'll take a look.
Thanks.

Just thought I'd post some more theories.
- Sean appears to be part of some beta testing group. Not sure what that is, but maybe there is a beta section of the site where he posted an article and that is contributing to the count for all articles submitted.
- Sean is an editor. Maybe one of the articles he edited counted toward his article count.
- Maybe this is a remnant of an old bug and his article count just never got cleaned up to reflect his actual article count.
Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

Sean is an editor - he's part of our team at CodeProject HQ.
The wrong count bug has been identified and is due to some new article types (Technical blogs, Tips) that we've added, but which are not all public yet.
We should have a fix out soon.

I have a problem with the article: Introduction to the Microsoft Web Platform - dougturn.
This article only contains commecial information. This approach of dougturn does not give right to those thousants of peoples who helped the code project in their own time to create a valuable repositry of articles over the years. I like to vote for deleting of this article.
