Many people have thier own methods of rating articles. Some of them seem well done but have a very low score. Trying to modify the current formula doesnt seem worth it imho. Especially when people are voting a 1 on certain articles just to bump thier own in the grand scheme of things.
Just my 2 cp and a cup of mojo.

Unfortunately, using the # responses to weight the rating only works when you have 2 articles of the same rating. But I agree that an article that's been rated 5 by a just a few users is unlikely to be more popular than one rated less than 5 by many more users.

Would it be possible to have the weekly polls results in the newsletter? Every week I take part in the poll, and then forget to go back latter on to see how other people have answered...

Although the lounge is a great place, is it possible to add a link to it in the discussion boards page, and also at the top of any other board your viewing in the same format as ther others, like
The Lounge (136000/3), showing how many new posts there are?
This would bring this one board in line with all the rest and make CP have a more consistent user interface across the board(s).

This won't quite meet your needs, but what i've done is added this link to my links toolbar. This way at least i see post counts for the other forums while in the lounge.

Thanks for the new feature Chris, where the forum sorts itself in such a manner, so that the post you reply to is shown on screen. This is such a brilliantly beautiful feature for threads with more than 25 posts. Now we go straight to the post in question. Good idea and excellently executed. I know this is the "Suggestions" forum, but I had to post it here as I didn't find a "Thank You" forum anywhere
Nish
The rumours that I am an AI bot are absolutely false. These rumours have been propogated by *them* to focus all the attention on to me, while *their* bots take over the planet. Thank y%%%% Divide by zero. Cannot proceed. Abort(y/y)?

Yes, I do like the new feature. That's what I was trying to express in my first post. I thought I had made that quite obvious.

Is this still a possibility. It seeemed as though the majority of people who responded to the thread asking about were in favor of it.

We'd also need a disclaimer on top saying that only managed questions will be entertained. We don't want someone coming and asking about MFC or ATL or WTL. Only Managed .NET based C++ questions

Actually I think questions about how to interact MFC with .NET would be viable, but would probably become FAQ soon enough.

But we can all bet our asses that it won't be Mike Dunn who writes that FAQ. He still refuses to do managed coding

LOL, so true.
Who then would write the FAQ?

Probably Chris M and Tom Archer with a teeny weeny little bit of input from you and me

How about letting us choose which column of the forums table to base the sorting on when you view the list from the "message boards" link?
If it is a hassle to implement, don't bother I'd rather see CP.NET

Right now it sorts on message count I think, which is sorta okay I guess.
But since there are only about 12-15 boards, what's the big deal? It's not as if we are on puny 15" monitors huh? We have at least 17 right, all of us?

Well I still have a 15" at home, so I can actually do both. Though it's hard to whine at myself for not buying myself a monitor
