The great thing about the net is it gives others a chance to learn about different cultures[^].
This also just reminded me of what does my head in most about living in Canada: Tire Centre.

Has this week's web dev newsletter been delayed? It usually arrives on Tuesday, but I haven't seen one this week.

This week's newsletter arrived as normal, so I assume one of the hamsters ate it there was a temporary glitch last week.

I suggest SB is more appropriate. Started off as a cor-blimey would you Adam-and-Eve-it post aimed at left-wing politics and muslims and predictably degenerated from there.

No, it's not appropriate for the Lounge. Moved.

fyi: Win 8/74 Chrome Browser Version 26.0.1410.64 m
I'm not absolutely sure that the behavior I describe here is the result of CP's page handling, rather than something to do with Chrome, but I assume is CP causing what's described here, not Chrome.
When you use CP's "Thread View," and you then open a thread, for example: a comment on an article (with or without responses to the comment, whether there is one comment, or many) ...
CP (or Chrome ?) does a full-page refresh which then "jumps you" back to the top of the page, which means you need to navigate down to the bottom again to see the now opened comment.
If you then click on "View All Threads" that will do another full-page refresh, and you're back at the top of the page.
It's not exactly a "killer burden" for me to hit the End key on my keyboard to get back down to the bottom of the page, but, imho, the full-page refresh is not optimal either. And often, when there are many comments on a thread, or article, then I have to scroll back up from page-bottom to re-locate the point at which I was last looking at a comment.
If what I speak here is really an inherent Chrome specific browser-related property, then I apologize to all for wasting your time 
thanks, Bill
“Humans are amphibians: half spirit, half animal; as spirits they belong to the eternal world; as animals they inhabit time. While their spirit can be directed to an eternal object, their bodies, passions, and imagination are in continual change, for to be in time, means to change. Their nearest approach to constancy is undulation: repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks.” C.S. Lewis

I see that sometimes. It seems to be an issue with Chrome, as it happens on other sites as well (i.e. the random refresh and jumping to the top of the page).

This week I noted that certainly, even if I got new votes of 5 my articles average rating decreased, and I do not know why?
-For example my next article http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/545026/MVC-Basic-Site-Step-2-Exceptions-Management has 20 votes of 5 and 2 votes of 4 and the average is computed now 4.81, but it should be around 4.95, because( 5*20 +2*4)/22= 4.9545.
-For the latest article http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/576286/MVC-Basic-Site-Step-3-Dynamic-Layouts-and-Site-Adm the situation is even stranger, because I have 31 votes and all of them are noted with 5, and the result must be 5, but from this morning is 4.99.
Could you please solve this issue!

Votes aren't calculated quite so simply as that. Each person who votes has a weighting that gets applied, which is based on their site reputation.
|
|
|
|
|
1)I know this, but if all votes are 5 why the total result is not 5 ?
2)Also if I got a new vote of 5 why the total result is downgrade ?

I asked this once, and it was because of caching.

I have an article with 31 votes, all of them are 5, so why the total results is 4.99 and not 5?
Could you explain this?
Please correct this!

If I would vote 4, and then 5, then it's still because of caching.

Thank you for your answer!
I read that document before to create the bug report, but this do not explain both examples given by me!

For the 4.99/5 bug, I won't name any names but I think someone *cough*MhrisCaunder*cough* needs to reread this article:

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

As for being clever, all you'd need to do is a truncate instead of a round to nearest on a value whose actual error that was only in the last bit or two of the mantissa.

The voting doesn't work that way, as you've seen by reading the Rating FAQ[^]
Raul Iloc wrote: but from this morning is 4.99
It's 5.00. You more than likely saw an old cached value.

When I'm trying to hire, my company tells me to use LinkedIn to source candidates. Of course, Code Project is an amazing community of skilled people and would be a great source. I didn't see a jobs posting board for the community. Has this been considered? Does it exist and I just can't find it?
