Hi!
I found a possible bug when editing tags of quick answers, not all tags are shown in a list with your own answers. Here's a description how to reproduce it: Add a missing tag to some questions (e.g. I added 'socket' tag), go to Quick Answers - Latest[^] and you'll see them including the just added tag. So far so good. Then go on to your own member profile and click on 'Questions & Answers', the resulting page 'Your questions & answers[^]' does not show all tags, the recent one is missing in every entry. Using Firefox 3.6.3 with cleared browser cache.
Furthermore I have a feature suggestion. Re-tagging questions can be confusing for others[^], because tag changes are not easily visible in the so called Article Revisions[^] (I can't spot them). In my opinion such minor changes should not bring back quick answers to the top of the 'last changes' list. Just an idea. 
Let me know if you need a screenshot.

I've tried to replicate this but couldn't. Is it specifically with this tag or whenever you add a new tag to an existing post? Maybe you could provide a screenshot?

We are planning to show the tags for each revision. It's on our list but not one of the top priorities.

That may be ideal but there isn't a clean way to implement that. I.e. we have a column named Updated in the table storing QA posts. And we do want to mark a post as updated if just the tags change. So in order to track whether a "less relevant" property changed we'd need another column. I'd say it's not worth the effort - especially considering the rate at which posts get bumped off the Latest questions tab.

Screenshot is on the way. I don't know if it is related to a specific tag, I haven't answered/edited many 'quick answers'.

Hi again! I tried with another tag and added 'debug' to an existing post[^] after I provided an answer. Same result, looks like it happens independent of the tag.

Oh right. The problem here is that when a question's tags gets updated its answers don't reflect the change. This is a known issue that will be fixed sometime next week.
Thanks for the screenshot.

There are some modern tools[^] that offer you a pretty accurate list, you know.

I know. I have one running in Visual Studio

download ZIP, extract files, then:
1. either double-click EXE file,
2. or double-click SLN file to open Visual Studio, click Start Debugging or hit F5
finally enter member ID (from your CP profile page), then click GO button or hit ENTER.
healthy alternative: put it on a laptop and jog it around.

That is why I cannot make it run, there is no .EXE after I unzip.

huh? when you open the ZIP you should see two EXE files, one of them is CPVanity.exe
extracting all files from the ZIP would create either CPVanity.exe or CPVanity\bin\Debug\CPVanity.exe (both relative to the location of the ZIP file) depending on your ZIP tool's settings.

Thanks.
Not sure what to think about DD's messages, it is already Thursday after all.

Hey I was serious, I found the EXE in the end, but it still wouldn't work.
Busy elsewhere but will look later.

You probably need the latest .NET framework.

It was build targeting .NET 2.0, shouldn't be a problem.

You get what that always triggers: not informative, too vague.
If you're behind a firewall, make sure to have the config file next to the EXE.
if your firewall requires a password, read the article and adjust the source where indicated.
if none of that helps, open the project and run inside Visual Studio to see what is going on. The app logs in the output pane.

Seriously though, what happened? How was there such a major fail?

I think approval ability was being based on the overall reputation score.

I agree something needs to be done.
Bringing reviewer numbers down to some 80 (35 platinum, <50 gold) which may include some inactive members, may not be the most effective measure:
- if one can reach silver, one can reach gold too;
- and I'm not sure what exactly happened; maybe the account got hijacked.
How about:
1. going after members that wrongfully approve inappropriate material;
2. improving the Article Wizard so some constructs never make it to the Article-Needing-Approval list (e.g. when there are more images than words); I'm convinced a 100 word minimum is way too liberal even for real article attempts.
3. giving golden+ authors an immediate removal option, or at least a put-in-quarantine option. That way the recent issue would have been covered up sooner.
