Well, nothing appears to have changed after 24 hours.

I guess it did not work. Thank you kindly for trying that.
I tried giving the aggregator another kick, but sadly, it does not seem to be working. I have requested a higher power to give the aggregator a bigger boot kick and take a peek.
Please change the RSS back if that same URL was working before, so when the boot kick comes it will be ready.
Thanks,

Has someone looked into this yet?

I currently live in Colombia, and here the do not have postal codes. I know, that's pretty uncommon, but they really do not have this system. The "Professional Profile" is not complete without this, so (as with many other sites) I had to just fill in something else.
Some sites have a check box "I do not have a postal code", which would make things more reliable I guess. Another option is to make this a non-required field, or based on the country selected making this a required field or not. Lastly, you can just leave it as it is, and people from some countries will just will in something random.

Fixed.
Almost.
Turns out there are 60 countries that don't use postcodes (who knew!) and I ensured that they are all treated appropriately. Turns out, however, that the list I found didn't include Colombia. So: added.
And thanks.
cheers

The Tip/Trick approval popup does not have image offsite report as an option like the 'full' article popup does.

... on the first page.I don't understand the logic:
Mouser hover -> Popup appears -> move mouse to try and click on article or tip -> Menu disappears -> Click on advert instead of article/tip -> GRRR
Mouser hover -> Popup appears -> click on "Items need approval" to freeze menu -> Menu disappears -> Click on advert instead of article/tip -> GRRRx2
From my testing, this behaves randomly, sometimes the menu can be frozen by a click, sometimes not, and I am quite sure this is not a tactic of yours to force and click on the underlying ad.

Similar here at work with FF and Win7 but not at home with identical software (but a faster system).
Just move around with your mouse until the popup stays on screen. There is no need to click anywhere. When you move slowly around you will notice that the popup disappears when over the border lines of the top rectangle. Moving faster to cross the rectangle's bottom line often helps.

mmmhh, there *might* be a more intuitive way. Also, something must have changed in the behavior, because I have been moderating for quite some time now, and never had any usability problem with that particular menu.

I just checked it at home and there is a difference:
At work there is a rectangle around the top (n items need approval / n articles, m blogs, o tips/tricks) but here at home there is only one big rectangle around the whole popup (the line that has to be crossed fast is not present).
So it seems that the problem is sourced by some Firefox setting. Did you change anything?

I did not. But my company may.

Done.

I have identified the source:
This happens when the hardware acceleration is disabled in the extended configuration tab. After enabling it (requires restarting Firefox) all is OK now here at work.
Maybe Chris will find a solution with disabled acceleration.

I'm placing that firmly in the "Firfox Bug" bin. Sorry

if I wanna give 1 up to 3 stars the website wants me to give some remarks. This stops me from voting honestly, and in the result I only vote for 4 or 5 stars. So the rating goes up. Your Business case
I understand the stars that
1 poor, avoid reading (here is an answer really needed)
2 not too bad
3 average as the most
4 a better one
5 outstanding, the author did a great job.
I guess many others peoples have the same experience and it is an old discussion.

Why ? If you put a negative vote, then please also explain why.
KarstenK wrote: in the result I only vote for 4 or 5 stars
So you vote something a 5 when you think it deserves a 1 because you are too lazy to drop a comment explaining why the article deserves a 1 ? The real question is here : who is behaving inappropriately, CodeProject, or you ?

you didnt read what i wrote. 1 stars needs some explanation, but 2/2 stars, below or average.
What should I write?
My point is that it stops from voting less than 4 stars, and so the average is misleading.

What prevented you from voting a 4 or a 5. A ... remark.

No way, you may also don't vote at all if you are too lazy to drop a comment. No one forces you to vote articles. And voting a 5 because you do not want to drop a comment for a 2 or a 3 is just plain nonsense, I hope you realize that.

I think you didn't understand him.
He didn't say that he gives a 5 in places where a 1 is deserved.
He said that he does only vote 4 or 5 (where they are deserved), but doesn't give 3 or less votes.
It is not the same
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If you're not willing to provide a reason you downvoted then I would prefer you don't vote at all. Telling smeone their article isn't great doesn't achieve anything if you don't also provide information on how the author can make their article better to avoid downvotes.

I dont want to discuss much about, because I dont want invest to much effort in it, but if I see such article I get a little disturbed about this discussion. It indicates that I am righter than you..
(The articles got 2 votes, which are resulting to an average of 4.67)

There seems to be so way to do that using the Web UI ?
