Chris,
following on from Alberts post yesterday, I have to confirm I have had this problem too (please this isn't a moan about rep points), since you announced there was a issue around the reputation points. because I use the rep history to navigate to previously answered questions.
to give you an example

Hi,
Now, the HTML code of the style of my CodeProject name is this:
<em style="color:red">ProgramFOX</em>
But when I try to set the style of my name into this:
<em style="color:red"><b>ProgramFOX</b></em>
I get this error:
Items that need attention:
Name cannot be greater than 50 characters. All markup has been removed and your name trimmed. Apologies for the inconvenience.
But when I count the characters, then I count 44 characters.
And 44 isn't greater than 50.
Is this a bug?

With voting turned off why not add icons for +5 etc.
Yea I know you have thumbs up but you could get variations of the numbers.
|
|
|
|
|
Or, you could just type +4. I know it is not as cute, but...

Hi,
I want to Know -
Are upgrades of Codeproject have been completed?

What about lost reputation points?
In my case there is also another problem when I answer any question in QA I did not get any authority points(not getting these points from 23 Nov) and also it does not comes in my Reputation History.
I dont know whats happening?

Chris,
On the left nav bar, how about a "Favourites" standalone nav bar?
A logged in user can go to any forum, and "pin to favourites" and these would appear as a single list to provide quick access and also show if these favourites have new posts.
I think since the site redesign, I don't find myself wandering into many of the forums now, probably because of the new design and less visibility in the left nav bar.

I am in support of this motion.

No it doesn't.
I turned off voting.
I'm safe!

If you head a heat map of where I was looking shortly after reading your message, it would be glowing white hot right around the report button. Don't temp me, Maunder, don't tempt me.

I was lying in bed, wide awake at about 3:30AM this morning thinking about the reporting system, and for some unknown reason this[^] article kept coming to mind.
Don't tempt me, Mr DotNetDev, don't tempt me.

*Wonders to self if some carefully crafted JavaScript executed via the Chrome debugger console would enable him to manually insert a 1-vote/report... hmmm...*
Actually, if I were to do that, it'd probably be a 5.

Dave, I have also noticed that I don't venture into the forums as much because of the new collapsed navigation menu. Your suggestion might solve that, but I would rather be able to see the whole menu.
I actually just came across this CP page[^]. Forget about the page content and look at the navigation bar. It really is very long and I can see why they decided not to display all of it, but I think I would like to have the option - perhaps in the bar where you set up the other forum options (Profile popups, Spacing, etc.).

Yesterday I noticed that forums for blog posts that are in approval queue have gone missing. Is that intentional?
There are 3 blog posts by 'Vasil Trifonov' currently in approval queue, it has formatting issues and I wanted to post and tell author about it using blog's message forum - it's not there.
Bug or forum has been removed?

Clogged perhaps? Seems all clear now. Thanks for checking though.
Thanks,

Recently ,for my question somebody posted solution.I thought solution is good but not i asked for , hence I gave 3 out of 5 (single vote). Now he is complaining its down vote. Is it correct?Its down vote.
|
|
|
|
|
A 3 is neutral in the fact that it doesn't give negative or positive reputation points, but if a post has already got one vote of 5 and you give it a 3 then you are bringing the average down to 4, so effectively downgrading the 5. Similarly, if a post has a vote of 1 and you give it a 3 you are upping the average.
|
|

|

I think this is perfectly fine. In this case it is an answer in QA and if the OP felt it did not resolve the problem, the average should go down. In any case it should not hurt the member posting the answer. I would not object if I answered a question and received a 3-vote.
Had it been an article, you could argue that it hurts the author to have the average rating lowered even if there is no change in points. I do wish Code Project would change the 3-vote on articles so you don't have to leave a comment. There are people who take offense to getting 3-vote as this thread shows.

I went through all 5 of your questions and did not find any comment where someone was complaining about your vote. Could you link to it please?
|

I am not sure of him, but if you need an example, have a look at this: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4439694/My-vote-of-3.aspx[^]
After I saw this thread, I checked my history and did find this at exact datetime:
29 Nov 2012 8:49 PM -10 Author Article Downvoted Article How to extend a WPF Textbox to Custom Picker
I too was under assumption that 3 is neutral, but it looks like it has a different(context based) interpretation. 
|
|
|
|
|
Perhaps this is an old bug 'reincarnated'. I remember when voting was first introduced 3 did result in a negative vote. Chris fixed it but now it looks like it is back.
