Speaking of the algorithm. Take a look at Software Project Development and Decision Making[^]. Several days ago the two negative votes were considered outliers and not counted for the calculation of the average. Today - the are.

It was definitely there yesterday, but that person has obviously revoted it a 4.

I'm back to my desktop, so I can answer you... It was me and my fat fingers... that 2 wasn't intentional, and fixed when I realized the mistake (and that's why Chris didn't saw it)... Sory for the bad moments... Sigh | :sigh:

Hey Peter,
thanks for correcting it!
sorry for the commotion, but at least it made Peter look at the rating second time Smile | :)

I just could not image what was so bad about the article that deserved a 2 Smile | :)

Made a comment to a QA post and posted ... waited ... then the "sorry" message appeared ... that only one post was attempted but three posts were made; my worry.

We've been doing lots of updates this afternoon so more than likely just a result of this. If it happens again please let me know.

Broken article link on home page

The link on the home page to the article in the approval queue seems to be broken:
Sql Dependency using entity framework in wpf[^]

In Firefox, it eventually returns a "this page isn't redirecting properly" error.

In Fiddler, it bounces between two different URLs:

/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=260035&aid=1238360 ⇒ 302 redirect to:
/Articles/1238360/Article ⇒ 301 redirect to:
/script/Articles/ArticleVersion.aspx?waid=260035&aid=1238360 ⇒ 302 redirect to:
/Articles/1238360/Article ⇒ 301 redirect ...
After 12 redirects, Fiddler gives up.

Time zone in profile has changed

The display of wrong times since the DST transition has been already reported by Richard at Bugs and Suggestions[^].

I just regognised that the time zone on my profile page has been changed from "(GMT+01:00) Amsterdam; Berlin; ..." to "(GMT+02:00) Athens; Istanbul; ..." while the "Are you currently in Daylight Saving Time?" checkbox is still set.

I will let it at the wrong setting for the case that this applies to all accounts and will be changed (fixed) globally.

This is a weird one. The title says it all; at random times CodeProject signs me out. Sometimes it happens on my phone and sometimes it happens on my PC (Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181). There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason.
