For what it's worth, I think you've done exactly the right thing here, and that's admirable. (Let's be honest, had you kept quiet there's a fair chance no one would ever have known).
I would agree with John to the extent that unfair voting isn't right and does cause potentially more deserving articles to be glossed over, but insisting that the article be withdrawn is a bit extreme. You've highlighted the problem and it should be easy enough for Chris/CP to remove the votes from very new members. You got the nomination on your own, and totally deserve it in my opinion, it looks like a good article.
Whatever the outcome here, keep writing.

Any particular page ? It seems working fine for me.

I too faced it... but its arbit!
It happened with me only today... 2-3 times... once opening Site Bugs/Suggestion... other Q&A, its a small popup in Firefox that shows this. Though the execution goes on without any negative affect.

Sandeep already described the issue.

Thanks - we're on it.
Looks like a transient database load issue, but you guys do not need to be bothered with that message.

I'm having the same problem with ANY CP page. I would cut and paste, but the dialog that pops up won't let me. The highlights, though:
Response denied by WatchGuard HTTP proxy
Reason: header 'Content-Type' denied rule='Default' value='application/json; charset=utf-8'
Method: POST
Host: www.codeproject.com
Path: /script/AdServe/WebServices/AdServices.aspx/RecordImpressions
Hope this helps.

You can try copy and paste.

Feh! 
I don't know if the problem was with CP itself or with the agency that provides the ads but in any event, the problem has been resolved.

Hi Chris,
In profile page,we show the count of messages posted with some title, like in my case its "Regular".Don't you think it must be updated as "Personality" as the count has gone more than 1000?
Thanks in advance!!

If I remember correctly that status is updated once a week only. (don't know when exactly your message count went above 1000 but that could be the reason)
Of course with the new reputation system I don't know if it's still being updated or not.
|
|
|
|
|
It has changed probably since new reputation system...
|
|
|
|
|
AFAIK it is always up-to-date; however the threshold probably is 1500.

Based on new reputation system, Debator's reputation is shown in Messages posted.
You have 734 debator's point and thus 'Regular', once you cross 1500, it will immediately change to 'Personality'.

Count is not related!

But Debtor's reputation is : "Activity in the non-programming forums" . Then what about the participation on Programming Forum ?
Then Message Posted status should be multiple Like Encyclopedia/Fixture Or Expert/Regular something like.
I am confused.

Abhijit Jana wrote: Then Message Posted status should be multiple Like Encyclopedia/Fixture Or Expert/Regular something like.
Yep, it should be for now...
I think, based on long term when programming activities would be though Q&A, it would make more sense when any messages would be non-programming only.
For now, Chris can enlighten us on the same!

from my observation:
- all messages in all forums get counted, that results in the message count;
- all messages with a "question" icon at level 0 (hence starting a thread) contribute to enquirer rep;
- all level-1 messages with an "answer" icon in a programming forum contribute to authority reputation;
- all other reply messages (non-programming forum, not a "question" or "answer" icon, not level 0 or 1) contribute to debator reputation.
Hence debator is or could be a mix of soapbox rants and rightful technical discussions.

Exactly, with an addition that authority / enquirer points are only awarded for messages in programming forums.

Still didn't get how the designation system works now.In new reputaion system, I am able to see defferent designation labels for Authority .Is there some specific or concrete criteria to update the designation as it was earlier?

Don't know if this has been suggested anywhere else, sorry if it has, but i would like to see navigation buttons on the question page, e.g. Next question, Previous Question, Next Unanswered, Previous Unanswered.
This would allow the user to be on a question and just step through them, without having to go back to the index lists. The index lists allow give a subject, don'e really give enough insight into what the user is really asking.

Hmm.. interesting! I'll bring it up with the team and see what they think.

UPDATE:
I have tried playing with various comments, and discrovered that a single double quote character is all you need. Include one or more in the body of your QA comment an the whole damn thing disappears.
END UPDATE
The damn things keep disapearing! Twice now I have tried to add a comment to an answer[^] and it just vanishes hwne i press Submit Comment
The text has been similar both times:
So tell us that to start with. Show us what you have so far, and explain where you are stuck. We aren't going to just give you the full code for your homework (that site is called rentacoder, and they charge you) - if we did, how would you learn?
Some clues:
Console.WriteLine outputs to the console so the user can read it.
Console.ReadLine inputs from the user to a string, so you can read it.
Double.Parse converts a string to a floating point number so you can do math on it.
+ adds numbers
* multiplies numbers
That is about all you really need.
You have the algorithm (see my earlier post), you have the methods you need, off you go.
When you reply, either modify your original question, or use the "Add Comment" button to resopond to a specific answer - the author is then sent an email (like this one) to let him know. DONT use the Answer button - further info is not a answer!
I have learnt that you can not make someone love you, all you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.

This has been reported earlier [^]couple of times. Slow internet connection was thought of as the probable reason. Yet nothing was confirmed, someone was looking into it last week.
|
|
|
|
|
Sod all to do with a slow connection: I have tried playing with this, and isolated it to a double quote character:
a"b"c
does not post.
a'b'c
Does post.
a"b'c
does not post.
