Is there a reason my side menu is now firmly stuck on the top of the content, I know it is possible I did something but I would really like to undo it and can't figure out where the something is.
Now Chris if it was you just frakkin around with the screen LEAVE THE BLOODY THING ALONE.

Which browser?
Have you Ctrl+F5'd?
We've been trying to sort out a specific problem with floating elements and IE6. It's like playing whack-a-mole.

I am using IE6 and FF 3.# at the office, it is definitely environmental as my profile does not affect the home system, it's using Chrome and IE8 and they work fine.
I will try the ctrl F5 on Monday. Sooner or later they will allow us to move off IE6 in the office (I use FF illegally) but I'm not counting on it.

I always thought there was a stutter in C++, now you have proof.

I don't believe you, you must have downloaded the HTML and modified it yourself then took a screenshot. 
Ok, ok, I believe you. It wasn't (just) because you were drunk that you saw it before. Nice find.
Also, "Angel Eyes- The love"... wonder what that is. Hmm...

I have another suggestion:
Quick answers shouldn't have a voting range from 1 to 5. It should either be "Yes" that answered my question or "No" it did not.
The reason:
A follow-up question was posted to one of my answers, and I answered the posters follow up question (at least, I thought I did). My answer was voted 3 with no reason as to why a "3". I answered the question and the answer I provided was completely accurate.
I tell my kids this all the time ... If you ask a question and I answer it, you either understand the answer or you don't. If you don't understand the answer, then I didn't answer your question, so tell me I Don't understand, and I'll try to rephrase my answer so you can better understand it, don't say "I think I get it", when you don't really.
The same rules apply here ... you either understand my answer, and therefore "Yes" I have answered your question or you do not understand or I have not answered the question, so therefore "No" I have not answered the question.
Maybe you need: Yes this answers my question, I don't understand the answer, rephrase, or "NO" this did not answer the original question.
Honestly, voting levels of 1-5 are so meaningless here ...
That's my two cents,
D.

I strongly disagree. An answer can be correct but incomplete; it can be an attempt to be complete but partly incorrect; it can be correct, complete and suboptimal, etc etc. So I would vote it 3 if that is what it deserves, and certainly not a 5 if and when it looks good but I think I have a better answer.
IMO all "good question/bad question" and "good answer/bad answer" votes should go, they all deserve a scale so one can quantify how good/how bad things are.

Partial answers do not answer the question.
Using your method, someone gives you a partial answer, you vote a 3. The person that gave the answer is left wondering "What the heck does that mean? I answered the question". Do you not like the answer I gave? Did you not like the wording? Was it not complete (perhaps the individual that posted the answer thought it was complete), are you just being a dork, and voted me a 3 just because?
If the person asking the question doesn't provide any form of feedback, it leaves the person that answered the question in a position to have to go ask them "Why'd you vote me a '3'", and then wait for a response, etc..etc..etc...
It's just too vague.

Nope. First, I don't ask much questions, I answer a lot. If I were to ask something, and get a partial answer, I would judge it on its merits and probably vote 2 or 4 or not at all.
When someone asks a question and gets a partial answer, I will provide the full answer if I can, and I will vote if I feel a need to; I will explain my vote if it isn't obvious already from other replies that something is wrong, missing, or suboptimal. I will feel a need to vote if someone gets a partial or a partially wrong answer, and that answer gets voted 1 or 5; I will immediately vote the opposite to counteract the wrong vote, wrong IMO at least. If in a 1-or-5 world that results in an average of 3, I can't help that.

So if you ask a question and get a partial, clear and correct, although incomplete, answer, will you down-vote the answer in your black-and-white world?

I was waiting for you to say something along the lines of black-and-white, or absolutes, etc..etc.. ... but Chris has pointed out that there is an accept answer, which changes the game a bit (I had not noticed that ... gee .. the world's NOT black-and-white, sometimes it has bright yellow boxes around it too!).
I realize, of course, the world is certainly not black-and-white, even though there are many things in software development that are ... but people are voting answers to questions 3's, 4's and not stating why. So as a person that's trying to help these people find a solution, when something like that happens, it leaves me wondering what it is about the solution I offered them that was, to uses Chris' own words here, "Suboptimal".
To me it's rather like if I walk up to you and ask a question, you give me an answer that you know will work, and I say thank you. Then I ask a follow-up question, you give me yet another answer, and then I say "meh" and just walk off ...
Don't you think you'd be left there thinking "WTF was that about?" I know I would.
So I guess I'm just going to have to ask them 'why' when they vote low.
BTW - I've seen people vote a '1' to a person's follow-up question, when I thought they're follow-up question made sense ... being that they didn't have the slightest clue to begin with, which is why they were asking a question in the first place. Same kind of thing in reverse, and it makes no sense to me either.
We'll see what happens when I start asking "why"
Thank you for your opinion.

you're welcome.
Not sure to what extent a voter will react to a question why if he didn't care explaining himself to start with.
FWIW: one shouldn't overestimate the importance of a vote here, there's all kind of people around, and if you get a vote that is considered unjust by the community, good people are very quick at compensating for that, and they are likely to have a heavier vote too.

That's why we have the 'Accept Answer' button.
Something can be answered, but it might be suboptimal or not as clear as it could be. It could still be an answer that's good enough to get you through (hence 'accept answer') but it might only deserve a 4, not a 5.

I take it, that the one's that show up in a yellow box are the answers that have been "accepted"?

Emmm. Well then, I guess I'll have to take issue with the people that vote my answers 3's and 4's, and ask them why, when I actually answered their question, what it was about the answer, they felt was "suboptimal".
