What I do now is go the reputation-report page; that, of course, shows only a record of my posts, my votes, answers, etc.
Of course, if someone upvotes me on the Lounge, or up/down votes outside the Lounge, then the rep-grid has that, but, the link there, of course, takes me to my post; I may have to scroll down some amount to locate the response to my post, depending on the number of responses, location in the thread.
What I'd like to do is to quickly see if anyone has recently responded to any of my posts. No matter whether they voted, or not. Same reason I tend to responses to my e-mails, daily, in most recent to prior order.
Is there a way, that I am not aware of, to quickly find responses to one's posts ?
If there isn't, and CP thinks this would be a valuable feature compared to other features "in the queue," worth implementing, I do have a few specific ideas.
thanks, Bill

Notifications ??? The small red button with a number at the side of your rep-points in the right-top corner???? What about that?

Hi, Amitosh, and Slacker 007,
Note that I fully agree with CP's decision not to allow private user-to-user e-mail within CP, and I am not raising/discussing that issue here !
I am using Chrome Version 27.0.1453.110 m. Win8/64
On any regular CP page, there is no "red button with a number" at the side of the rep-points total number at page top-right.
I have gone into "My Account," and examined every setting-page available; I do not see a facility to turn on any setting/notification that would render a red button on every public CP page. Yes, there are e-mail notification options, both of which I have unchecked.
The closest thing I can find is under Name/My Messages: there certain posts have a light-bulb icon left of their title; that icon, like all other icons left of the message title, has no on-hover pop-up hinting at its purpose. I have not searched all CP documentation/help yet, so whether or not the light-bulb icon's meaning is documented, is as yet, unknown, although, of course, its logical to infer that in this context, it must mean, somehow, "something new," or, "something special."
I have tested the assumption that the presence of the light-bulb icon indicates a response to the message that the current user has not read, but, both within one session of using CP, and after closing and re-opening CP, the fact that every post on the thread has been read does not change the light-bulb icon to what appears to be the default for most messages.
Now, it may be possible that the light-bulb icon is based on the relative newness/time of the response to the OP or other responses, i.e., the date, and, by default, is independent of when the response is read by the OP.
So, I am currently "in the dark" about the light-bulb being "on."
Of course, the switch for the light-bulb could be staring me in the face, and I am ready to eat my words
yours, Bill

Bill,
Can you please try logging out then logging back in?
A bug has been found, and potentially squashed.

Hi Chris,
Excellent: when I launched CP (I'm logged in automatically) a few minutes ago, after coming out of Hibernate mode, before I read your response: the red-button appeared left of the total rep count, with the number #1 in white !
Just to complete testing, I signed-out, closed Chrome, and then re-opened it, and signed-in to CP again: the red-button was still there, after going to your response again, but, has now disappeared.
I will be interested to observe, as I use CP, if the count in the red-button reflects only direct responses to my op, or my comments, or if it also does/does not reflect activity on a thread I started.
Nice to have that feature, thanks.
yours, Bill

The notification only relates to direct responses to you, and not to the total amount of response on threads you start.

I reported this problem about two weeks ago and now it is back.
When I scroll down to a post, then click it, I get bounced back to the top of the page requiring me to scroll down again. It only started happening today. I am using IE 10.
Per the last time I reported this it was requested that I use the browser console debug mode. So I did. Hopefully it helps. For the test I used the C++ forum but it happened to me in various places.

Don't panic, this happens if the page isn't completely loaded. Codeproject likely uses some ajax and Cross-site XHR for loading ads.
I'm also using IE10. I have faced this many times, for most of my life, i've lived with a dial-up.
Wait for a while, it'll be fine.
**Going by the problems listed above, check your internet security zone settings. It should be set to default (medium). If not, or your sysadmin has blocked access to this setting, then try adding codeproject to the list of trusted sties. If this is not possible, (unfortunately) you have to use a different browser.

Ok, Did you see the bottom line... Since it is an office desktop, I suspect that draconial securtiy measures (often found in offices) to be the culprit.

That however wouldn't explain why it only happens occasionally. It isn't happening today.
And the previous time I reported it was only happening in some forums.

Hi JSchell,
I'm using Chrome 27.0.1453.110 m.
I infer you are viewing a CP page, and have clicked on a link to render developermedia.com content within that page.
In my case, with the view set to "Thread," anytime I open an item/node/thread with child-node(s), I get a page-refresh, and bounce-back to the top of the current view. When I click on "View All Threads," again I get a refresh, and page-top bounce-back.
Like one of Skinner's pigeons, I am now trained to use the 'Home and 'End keys frequently, keeping my eyes shut for a few seconds, to avoid being "jarred" visually by the refresh.
I cannot remember clearly if at a prior time CP did not have this type of "lose your place" refresh; I think so, but, I consider it possible that the increasing sensitivity of my eyes to "blinks" might mean the behavior is the same, but, now, it registers on me as an irritant.
The fact that I now react to full-page refreshes on a variety of other sites suggests its me, or Chrome, or Win 8/64, or demons.
yours, Bill

I use IE and Firefox.
So far I have only seen the behavior in IE and it is intermittent and seldom occurs.
It isn't doing it today.

After answering a question[^] in Q&A and hitting the submit button, two identical solutions show up and the reputation history lists both. So I deleted one of them.
While entering the text and submitting, nothing else noticeable happened.

Thanks for the report. This shouldn't happen. We have code at the database level that says this can't happen.
But we know from Jurassic Park what happens when you say something can't happen...

Please see this answer: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.[^].
It has two versions, as it failed to submit at first. I used two text to attempt submission; I'll refer to them as v1 and v2 (current). Naturally, I tried to submit what is now v2.
Steps:
1) I put the whole text of v2 into clipboard.
2) Under "Add your solution here", click Ctrl+V; the text from the clipboard is entered.
3) "Paste As" is shown, I click "Paste as-is", "OK".
4) The HTML text is shown as it should be.
5) Click "Post message".
6) The page with submitted answer is shown; as usually in such cases, it is not formatted to the final view: it not as wide as the normal answer; and the solution number is not yet shown.
7) Refresh the page; the newly submitted answer is not shown.
8) As it already happened before and could be fixed when repeated, I repeat it from #1, few times.
...
9) Instead of "real" answer, enter the text as of v1, repeat #1-#7
10) The short "answer" text appears and is shown correctly after refresh.
11) Click "Improve question"
12) Text edit area is shown again; I remove the text of v1, paste long text v2 again.
13) Repeat #3-#7.
14) Now the input and submission is successful; v2 replaced v1, to the text which I meant to have in the very beginning.
[EDIT #1]
What's funny, the same situation was reproduced when I tried to enter this message. This time, I did not paste the text, but simply typed it all. The bug report was not submitted successfully, as described above. Then I
1) Shortened the text to first and last paragraphs (the last is "—SA");
2) Submitted it, successfully;
3) Pressed "Edit"
4) Added text from clipboard, to get the original full text again.
5) Submitted again. Now the text was submitted successfully.
So far, it looks like the systems rejects longer input, but once the post is submitted and gets into the database, I can edit it to a longer text and successfully submit. I never face such behavior before. Before, I rarely saw something similar I attributed to temporary network failure; the post was successful on second attempt, with the same text.
[EDIT #2]
I found that the previous version of this message, before I added [EDIT #1] above, was actually posted (I just removed the double post). I wasn't see it after the first page reload, and I think it really did not appear.
I just added an answer of a bit bigger volume than that referenced above, this time, it worked out correctly. On possible difference: I did it on another computer, having faster Internet connection…
In both cases: Mozilla SeeMonkey v.2.17.11, Windows 7 64-bit (x86-64).

If our system thinks your post is too big it pops up a warning, but doesn't actually reject the text.
Hmmm. That's an odd one.
