We're trying to make it easier, more immediate, and provide clearer guidelines.
What sort of other options would you like?

We're adding a new report category "Needs help" with:
- "Format / layout issues"
- "Wrong section / tags"
- "Wrong type (tip, blog, article)"
Will that do the trick?

Chris somewhere mentioned that they the CP developers invested a lot of time in getting non-javascript version of the site. So I thought lets check how it works.
*Selects 'No JavaScript' option from the Layout dropdown and clicks 'Update'.*
The very first line that I see above the discussion board is:
Hint: For improved responsiveness use Internet Explorer 4, Firefox or above. Ensure Javascript is enabled and choose 'Normal' from the Layout dropdown and hit 'Update'.
That's kinda correct but Internet Explorer 4?!

We've been around for a while and it still works on 4!
That message is basically meant to say "use a browser that has a decent DOM model and Javascript support (and turn on the javascript!) Back in the days of Netscape / IE3 things were grim for many users.
But yeah - maybe it's time to stop pushing that particular browser.

Yes I said it's kinda right. 
One of my other important motive behind checking this version was my mobile doesn't support JavaScript and I sometimes use my mobile to browse and post on CP. I recently had issues checking out the bookmarks on my mobile (since it is available through a mover over drop-down). So I was curious how these things will work in the no-javascript version. But sadly only discussion board was converted to no-javascript version. But it's okay. Most of the features are available as-is on the phone. And most importantly I can read articles with no problem.
I do not expect the site to be available in the smart-phone version at the moment. I am happy with the way it is and the way it improving. Thank you to you and your team for such a wonderful website.
Cheers!

Not so: bookmarking without javascript works, though we do need to make the "it worked!" a little more obvious (ie actually show you a message). If you do find something that doesn't work without Javascript let me know.

No that's not what I meant. I was talking about checking the bookmarks one already has. Currently this option is available under UserName dropdrop (on move hover) -> My Bookmarks.
In my mobile browser, I cannot get the droplist as it doesn't support JavaScript. And I can't find any other way to go there except typing the exact url on the mobile browser.

That dropdown uses CSS, not Javascript. However, the CSS is triggered by mouseover, which is tricky when there's no mouse.
OK, I'll have to think about that one.

Ah sorry, I should have known it was done using CSS. "JavaScript" - this was the only world in my mind for sometime.

Tom suggested a way below to get to 'My Bookmarks' and almost all other required links. I suppose that should suffice and you won't require any changes. I don't know why I didn't notice it.

Thank you for the shining star near the user name. That makes it much easier to get to your bookmarked articles.

Just click on your name (anywhere), you'll be taken to your profile page.
Then on the left there is a menu with all the links you could possibly want (including the 'my bookmarks' link)

Yes that will solve the problem. Thanks!

I could not find a current bug report on this, but it would be strange if no-one else has noticed.
After submitting a quick answer, there is the option to improve the answer. This text is "Improve solution", but after a refresh, it's "Improve solution" as expected. English isn't my native language, but I couldn't find "ImproveÂ" in my Oxford dictionary :p
This is a real show stopper! It might even be urgentz!!!!!
(Maybe it's due to my Swedish OS or browsers?)

No, I noticed it over the weekend.
A refresh corrects it.
What screen resolution are you viewing it in?

1680x1050 or 1920x1080, doesn't seem to matter.
May I ask why you think that matters? (Or do you think it's irrelevant, but collect screen resolution statistics as a side project?  )

It is just that I noticed it when using a small screen (netbook) and not on the larger screen here at work.
I figured it may have been a resolution/screen size issue.

To be honest, I cannot remember a single time I submitted an answer where this did not happen.

I noticed it too, but didn't consider it urgentz!!!!  Swedish does not seem to be a requirement. FF3.6 here, and I think I've seen it in Chrome 10.0 too.

Don't let my boss hear you utter the word 'backlog', especially not in the same sentence as 'safety critical'........he would have a fit

Is it possible to have for the section 'Latest Best Picks' a persistent view selector 'Order By' to customize the displayed items?
It should be provide the same views, as in the page 'Top Ranked Articles'.
Currently, most entries in this list are low frequented articles with a vote of 5.
