Deleting questions with answers has been a hot topic as of late. Everyone is in consensus (for the most part) that one should not be able to delete a question with an answer.

I will be in Toronto on August 16th. My suggestion is that you try not to drink all the ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) before I arrive. Also, please hide any nearby oil and mankinis. A while back, this strange man showed up to hand me my Code Project MVP certificate and he was covered in oil and wearing only a mankini. Since then, whenever I see those two ingredients combined, I commence convulsing involuntarily.

We'll be here.
No promised about the
Or the mankinis.

When I view Q&A, comments is not showing. But if I add a comment, I can see all other comments until next navigation in Google Chrome ?

I have the same problem - I can't see comments I have made, and when I receive an email to say a comment has been made, I get the text, but it is not visible when I follow the link.
Chrome, 12.0.742.100
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

If I post a comment in reply to the comment I can't see, then I can see my new comment and the comment I was trying to reply to. F5 refresh removes both.

It is exactly the same as I experience it.

Still not showing(Both new & old comments). BTW It's happening in Firefox too. Couldn't/can't get replies from OP & some Enquirers posting their comments in answers.

Thanks - I'll try and take a look this evening or first thing tomorrow morning. We made a ton of changes in the last update and something, somewhere, no matter how much we checked, was bound to sneak through.

I have the same problem on Firefox 4 (web 22 server)

I confirm that. The comments are not showing even for old posts where comments were shown before. All those comment still present in data: an attempt to add new comment shows all comments posted earlier on the same solution; they disappears again on next page re-load/refresh.

Since when do we have those shiny new messagetype-icons like the Suggestions-lightbulb and the bug-icon? Didn't see them before.
Why is there no joke-icon here in Site Bugs/Suggestions? Too serious a matter to allow joky messages?

Bugs aren't cute. They are ugly. And serious. And have no sense of humour, hence the lack of joke icon.
This is serious business, guys.

Whoa! I copied the URL you posted to a new tab, and guess, what happens... my profile came up. Why the hell is Pete considering me to be a spammer, I thought. Forgot to remove the full stop at the end of your sentence, and up comes one's own profile page.

I have noticed recently, that the main factor in calculating popularity of an article (or other type) is votes. This is all well and good but, while not taking much notice of views is sensible, I would like to suggest that the new feature Downloads be added in. I have several articles that have only two or three votes, so have low popularity at the moment, but have a comparatively high number of downloads, several hundred. Therefore, I would like to suggest that Downloads would be a better method of judging popularity or quality of an article.
Thanks, Ed

How do you cater for those articles that have code downloaded lots, but the code really sucks? All of a sudden, they'd seem to be better than they really are.

Yes this is true, however, perhaps do not make downloads of equal weighting to ratings but perhaps half or one third. If the code really sucks and is too popular, people will gradually be more disappointed by it and so then downvote it (you would hope). It is true to say, I think, that upvoting is less common as it seems to have less of a purpose (for some odd reason this is what people think  ) however, downvoting is common (when it is necessary) as people vent their frustration with an article and can see an obvious purpose to downvoting. On this reasoning, I would say that an inclusion of downloads in popularity/rating is justified and worthy of considration.

I have known some very popular people who also really sucked.

I think you are mixing "popular" with "good." Perhaps the voting system, since it takes less effort to reward one's friends and lash out at one's enemies, is more vulnerable to being skewed than downloads, but both are capable of manipulation.
The 3-legged stool of understanding is held up by history, languages, and mathematics. Equipped with these three you can learn anything you want to learn. But if you lack any one of them you are just another ignorant peasant with dung on your boots. R. A. H.

Nope. It's just that I have read a few articles that seemed really good, but once I have downloaded the code I have realised that the article has had more care taken with it than the code. Generally, in this case, I try to give feedback on how the code could be improved.
