Oh yes, I think I've read all of Joe's articles  I can't say I've done that for any other author, except my own of course.

That works as well; but my suggestion allows the public to have a say (since that was my original problem

Having 10 people with the technical knowledge to be able to rate the wide variety of articles posted on CP would be impossible.
It would also create an elite which would be bad news for the website.
Personally, I'd abandon the rating system as it is obviously becoming as abused as the one on MSDN. Even if the ratings were only allowed by registered users, it wouldn't be hard to create fake users.
I say judge an article on the comments posted and on nothing else. If there is a technical flaw with the article people will point it out. If people really appreciate an article they will leave a comment.

The rating is being reworked and I'll be using a system that is far, far harder to abuse, and which will be far more benificial to the article authors.

A related articles list at the bottom of an article would be helpful. Nothing fancy, probably best to use the Search Engine already built to return a list of articles which are related based on the keywords of the current article.
You could say "If you enjoyed this article then you may enjoy these articles:" and then a list, just the titles is needed really.
I always enjoy jumping from article to article, keeping a common theme or thread.

Well, it's just got implemented I think.
Though I am not sure of the 'related' part of it.
Vaguely related perhaps...

Well, it appears to show some articles from the same category.
The downside is that it takes the category name to use as the title for the box. So you get "Other The C# Programming Language articles" for C# articles :-P [Edit: To me that sounds odd but it might just be me]

I've seen this a few times before, but didn't think to grab a screen shot or post anything about it.
When I load up the Work Issues forum it tells me there is one new post, but the new image isn't showing; I have to change my options so that it shows all posts since the specified date (which I think is the time that counts as new images).
I've put up a screen shot on my website. In the shot you see where I've set it to show me all the new messages, but still no new image.
Just a minor PITA

I cant seem to preview a post. When i press the preview button it submits the post. Either I am having really bad aim with my mouse at the moment, or something is wrong.

What version of IE are you using? I just viewed the source of this page (the reply page that is) and this is what I get for the preview button:
<script>
document.write("<input class=formButton type=submit name=preview value=Preview onclick='return void(0); '>" );
</script>
Its not calling the Preview() function (unless I am looking in the wrong spot).
Maybe its a browser detector disabling it in some versions of IE. I am using IE 6 btw.

I'm using IE 6.0.2600.0000.
This is the string that I get for the preview button:
