Exactly.
Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

Aha, I just discovered a minor discrepancy myself: my authority and total rep count differ by 2 when comparing the numbers on the profile page and on the graph.

It's most likely an artefact from some work we did earlier in the week. We need to run the repopulate script just to finalise things, but I held off this weekend because I didn't want to scare you all.

A question posted [^]hardly an hour ago and it already has 1200+ views? Comparing to other questions, that hardly cross 100 even in couple of days! Is the data right? I sense something wrong... can someone confirm?

This happened on another question not so long ago. Think Chris said it was a spider on that occasion, so probably the same again this time.

What's actually a spider? Might be a silly question... but would like to know!

a spider is an eight legged bug.

Right! thats looks more appropriate... probably thats why views get exponential 8 times

Based on this post[^] i too was looking at Who's who code and was trying to get my status...
Things i observed:
1. I cannot jump directly to a certain page number... i played along with querystring to land up where i wanted to
2. Again, the order by was working but it didn't modify the query string accordingly. Like, from default of MemberId to Messagecount, again i have to change that in url to jump to specific page.
3. Based on new reputation system and new Q&A forum + Tip/Trick forum, there should be more filter criteria's. Like, order by number of Q&A Answer's posted, Tip/Tricks posted, by different rep categories like - authority, organizer, etc!
What say?

I think that would overly complicate things for what is really a minor service of the site.
Sure people like to see lists and stats, but it is more about vanity.

Agree to that... but looks like left aside for now after so many major changes to site!
Can be included in a list and thought about...may be with a lower priority!

I disagree. The information exists and is available; its usefulness would be improved by making it searchable, listable, and sortable.

I guess that will eventually come into CP!
However, its not high priority - this was the first time I actually when to the Who's who page and sorted by "number of messages".

Interesting but definitely low on our list.

There is a junk answer in Quick Answers and for some reason I don't get delete link.

P.S. For some reason linky thing and other tags (Code block, inline code etc.)are not working for me.
I am using IE8 on WIndows7, anything I can do to fix it?

While I wonder why that answer can't be deleted (no edits, posted by a noob, 2 downvotes, no upvotes), you typically handle these types of scenarios by clicking the "Report" link at the bottom of the answer. Still, you may have come across a bug (I don't see why that answer can't be deleted).
Somebody else will have to respond to your question about HTML encoding... I imagine you have JavaScript turned off though.
|
|

|

Yeah I think its a bug thats why wanted to report it.
HTML encoding used to work fine but it stopped working since couple of days. Not sure if I changed something.

Okay I figured it out. Somehow the "Use HTML in this post" was not checked. I never knew it existed till today

Here is my personal opinion: the way voting works on CP really sucks. It discourages new authors and is a constant source of unhappiness.
I'm not going to get into a long philosophical discussion here. I just have one suggestion. Eliminate the 1-5 voting system, and replace it with a 0-1 system. If you like an article/post, vote 1. If you don't like it, don't vote. The total vote is additive, and can only increase, not decrease. Result: no more drive-by downvoting.

This removes the ability to filter out the real crud, unless we really push the "Report" button.
meh. Maybe that's not a bad thing.

The Report button is your friend. I would just like to see the negativity stop.
|

|

Yes, so would I.
Digg et al. use the single thumbs up method and maybe it's time we stopped trying to optimise the way we let members say "I like this article.
I am positive there will be opposing voices, and I admit I personally like to be able to say, with a certain level of precision, how much or little I like an article, but it's worth investigating.

Microsoft also uses this method: see here.

So do I. But in the last few years, the overwhelming influx of immature idiots has worn me down.
