Fixed a little. This is a bit of a consequence of the code for the smiley itself: I'd rather be cautious and not convert legitimate text into a smiley.

I think we should have a rule where a message has to receive 3 or more 1.0 votes before it shows them. That will put an end to the drive-by-voting. Once a 3rd one vote is applied then they all show but until that happens the status of the message isn't changed. That rule should hold for 2.0 voting as well. For 3.0 votes and above there shouldn't be a need for restraint.

See right now my OP would be unaffected by the lamers that are in 'my possie' who want to drive-by me.

What we are planning on doing is introducing a tracker that will watch voting trends and when it spots someone being an idiot it'll undo all their votes and lock them out.

I think it will be too much works for you...
What about showing who voted down or up? at leaset, we will have a chance to ask why he/she vote down for a particular post.. but I'm afraid that it might drive to a lot of fighting..

Sounds like a good idea. Not sure if you want to do that for the Soapbox, though. In the real forums, yes.

Between the two activities, a few more suggestions:
1) Open a new window and show up his voting activity for the member itself. It at least serves as a mirror reflecting his mean attitude. Perhaps, he can try correcting himself.
2) Retract Voting Privileges from the member.

Hi
how abt having video tutorials on CP as well. but since CP is based on IIS i figure it might be difficult for it to handle the load.
Thanks

How about a Silverlight-based tutorial rather?

Before I'd like to search the message board by author to search all my question. Doing this, I can know if someone has answered my questions. But now CP doesn't support search message board by author any more. I'm confused.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah. I think they disable it for now.. I also love this feature. Sometimes, I want to find my own post if someone post the similar questions. In other forum, I'm able to search all posts made by me. But here, I can see only latest 100 messages or something.. it's bad.

I have noticed that when I'm viewing one of the programming forums, the display of the forums at the top of the page appears to change the sort order every so often. It doesn't happen every time, or even in a descernible pattern, but I have noticed that forums occasionaly appear in different locations in this list. It tends to make it difficult to find the forum you're looking for when they keep moving around like that.

I suspect there is a function which randomizes forums display order

This shouldn't be happening. Let me know if you spot it again.

Still seeing it, but not as badly. It now appears that all of the forums stay in the same order except the following:
Soapbox
Lounge
Subtle Bugs
Coding Horrors
Suggestions and Bug Reports

I've seen it also. It seems to happen when you go from a forum with the list at the top to a forum that doesn't have the list at the top, like Coding Horrors, and then back to a forum with the list. I just went from Visual C++ (The Lounge was at the top of the 2nd column) to Coding Horrors via the list at the top, and then to General Discussions via the drop down list in the green bar. The Lounge was now at the top of the 1st column.

Sorry...I need to retract my earlier post[^]. I just saw this happen again with the .NET Framework forum.

Hi All/Chris,
I think the following might produce some intersting results for the Code Project. This technique could be used for any topic which the Project feels more information is desired.
A simple example: Obfuscation. Ask the reader to submit an article with sample on the topic in a language of their choice. Have the staff (or readers) vote on the best two or three, and then publish them.
By using a language of their choice, you will get C++ and C# (and probably VB). I would bet someone will develop a tool to obfuscate. The result is another free tool for the community, and some more insight into techniques.
Another example would be a "smallest executable" on disk. This would have the readers attempting to strip out as much as possible from an executable (most likely post compile/link). Included would be tweaking pages and paragraphes used by the program. C++ would be intersting in itself. But I believe finding out what can be done to a C# executbale would be very informative. The body of knowledge for C# is not as mature as C++.

Yes - we'd love to run some comps like this. Stay tuned next year

I guess that means a Merry Christmas is in order if we are on CP time 
Thanks for all the hard work.
