I almost came here the other day to report that I wasn't getting points for upvotes to my messages. Might be of some use to add a reputation event that shows when you've reached some reputation limit. For example, when you get enough upvotes in a day that you can't get any more upvotes, add a reputation events that's called "Upvote Ceiling" and that says "you got 25 upvotes today and you can't get any more." Not sure what you'd do if somebody changes their vote... perhaps remove that reputation event. Speaking of, I wonder how you handle that today... if 25 people upvote my messages, then a 26th person does (but it doesn't count toward my reputation), then one of the others changes the vote to neutral (e.g., a 3-vote), does that 26th upvote then get counted toward my reputation (since it would then become the 25th)?

It's s great idea but it's not something I feel we can afford to spend time on at the moment. You've touched on a couple of the issues already.
Currently we simply count events at the time an event is registered to see if an event can gain points or not. If an event doesn't raise points because it was over the limit, then someone changes their vote to change the event, then the points are not retroactively added for the event that, in hindsight, could have added points.

Why do the Code Project emails have to bang on about agile PM so much?! I have now unsubscribed, and the reason was I was sick of hearing about agile delivery. I get that it is new and maybe exciting, but endless articles on it is not. I signed up to hear about coding and all the exciting things that can bring, not to read endless articles on how to deliver a project. Shouldn't that all be on ProjectManagement.com?

I'll pass this on to the Insider - it's valuable feedback.
What would be even more valuable are suggestions on what you would like to hear about.

Hi VisAlex,
Well, I am sorry to hear the CP daily news does not ring your bells, like it does mine.
I find the CP daily-blat a fascinating well-rounded mix of topics from sublime to arcane, to off-beat, to immediately newsworthy, and delivered with wit at no extra charge It's very frequent I open four or more links in the CP daily; can't think of any other newsletter I receive (okay, I do receive only a very few) that leads to that !
Hope you do check the CP daily out again, after the "respite" you need from it.
best, Bill

I have edited my post. Found some more.

There is a daily limit after which no more points will be earned until the next day.

 That explains it. Thanks for the answer.

After discussion the daily limit on accepted answers has been removed.
There will be no limit on reputation points given for accepted answers after next deploy (sometime this week).
The reputation points will be recalculated using new rules when we will re-run our reputation recalculation script.
Thanks for bringing up this issue.
Sincerely,
Elina
Life is great!!!
Enjoy every moment of it!

There are 2 issues with the popup;
1) The little pointy bit of the popup is off to the right of the main popup.
2) On short question the popup is actually zordered below the 'Improve Question' area.

For some reason if someone comments on my post I don't receive an email notification. This seldomly happens if someone comments on an answer, but more often if someone comments on my comment.
I have checked junk mail etc.

Is it random? ie do you just sometimes miss an email from a comment, or always?
If "sometimes" then I will pad the walls and go and bang my head against them.

Sorry to say but it seems random. The next time I notice this I'll post the answers in question if that helps to pinpoint the problem. It could also be that the message is lost somewhere on it's way since there's lots of water between your site and Finland

Okay, here's one example. After an hour I noticed that the OP had left a comment. No email received:
[ASK] How to display SDF database to datagridview?[^]
[Addition]
When looking at the comments, it looks more and more like an email for a comment to a comment isn't received while a comment to an answer id. Not sure about this though.
[Addition 2]
In this answer: asp.net coding ..........................................[^] I got an email for all other comments but not for "I'm using IE9, I just tried with chrome and there it works for me too. I wonder why there is a difference in the behavior here."

So you're getting emails from answers, and emails for replies to comments, but not consistently?
In that case it sounds like it's servers somewhere down the line blocking emails. Usually this is caused by overzealous spam blockers, or simply dodgy mail servers.
