Not sure what you're seeing. Can you send a screen grab of the issue (or a specific question? I've gone through a couple of dozen and no luck)

Did you get my mail Chris? I sent one directly to you since the first one bounced (Yeah, I hit Reply to the email  ).

I think SoMad means this[^]: it just shows "updated 3 days ago" instead of "ProgramFOX updated 3 days ago".

Yes. I sent a screen shot from my phone yesterday of something similar. It was not your post, but also a Display Name with HTML formatting added to it.

Code project has updated the Quick Answers section nicely. But there is one issue on 'Unanswered' Tab. Which is it shows the Answers as the 0. Which is not needed. B'cos we came to the unanswered section. So my suggestion is given the 'View count' instead of that. What's your thoughts ?

While I agree with your suggestions, here is why I also disagree... 
That '0 Count', gives more visual continuity, also if the counter there reflect different meaning based the tab you are on, it is also an UX design issue. So IMO it's fine as it is.

Visual continuity is an important element in designing good user interfaces...

Having the left hand column be a nice, neat set of )'s emphasises this page is for unanswered questions. Further, it provides consistency of UI.

Like - though not quite sure about the "user rating" system of "Scholar", "Master" and "Student" is all about - just one little niggle.
I run Chrome on a Portrait monitor, (but it also happens on my Landscape if I move the page over) and the popup is too far to the right: some of the RHS is being truncated. For example, if I go to the Lounge and hover over Chris the popup shows
Reputati
553,8 Which just looks odd.

Oooh. I had to do <ctrl><f5> to see what you were talking about. I believe the "Scholar", "Master", etc. is based on the designation of the category where the member has the most points.

Give it a Ctrl+F5 and let me know how it goes.

I am going to miss that. It helps with spotting old questions that have been pulled out of a sound sleep, which is often the MO of a commercial product spammer.

The date is there, but on balance I can't see a benefit. Either it has lots of views or it doesn't. Either it's answered or it isn't. One has no bearing on the other.

Right. But since the date/time stamp of a Question's original post is not shown in the list of questions, I have often relied on the view count to signal when an Answer posted to an old question needs an extra look. Since the old questions that typically attract commercial product spammers often have view counts in the thousands, they stick out like a sore thumb in the list.

Maybe add a zombie icon to them?
|
|
|
|

 Not a bad idea. I assume you mean where the star and checkmark icons are shown.
I was going to ask how old you think a question needs to be to earn one of those, but on the other hand I can't really define when my view-count-alarm triggers, so...

It's not just the zombie items and spammers... many new members end up posting a "solution" to their own question and making it drop out of the list. I used to spot these by seeing posts with 1 solution + very few views and go in and let them know. Much harder to spot now - maybe a warning when they try to post a solution to their own post??
It also took me a few minutes to realise that OriginalGriff was not a new topic in QA  Too much holiday-hooch I think!

How can an enquirer indicate acceptance of an answer in the message board?
Please do some changes to differentiate threads/messages(normal & accepted). In Q/A section, green background-header indicates accepted answer.

I just voted to approve an article, and then I saw "5 reports". I thought that the article would have been published after my vote, but when I refreshed, it wasn't published. So I voted again to approve, and then I saw "1 report".
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?
|
|
|
|
|
You're missing something... you're missing 4 reports to be precise.
|
|
|
|
|
The article was updated between the time you reported and the time you refreshed.
It happens.

The problem went away after I cleared the cache.
