I think you are right, there seems little point in lots of 1-votes each with (effectively) the same comment.
It's time for a new signature.

I am sure you were talking about 1-votes.
We can have comment just for 1-vote and not for all.
If you really want to stick with the no comments for voting thing, can you just provide an option to challenge the vote and get it fixed in case you don't see a reason for your answer to get down-voted. Something similar to 'Vote to remove message' concept? There are many trolls here already, you know that.

I have seen it happen only once, so it will be nearly impossible for me to report success...

I've got another one (in the aftermath of my latest T&T adventure); this time I took a screen shot and a source copy; I've mailed both of them to you.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to upload the new code today. Too busy modernizing the Forums and changing...Just kidding!!
Tomorrow is looking saner for an upload.

NP.
I can easily ignore the bad ad, it isn't harmful and very infrequent anyway.

I just deleted few answers posted by this user.[^].
I guess, his action was reported earlier too (last week or so!)
|

Well, I have just reported messages from this user[^], too. All of them also seems to be spam...

Both dealt with - thanks!

That's OK. I'm just cleaning up the article and would have approved it anyway.

The lounge is a lot zippier again, and this mornings test shows the page is loading in approx 2.56 seconds (yesterday was 17s).
Thanks for fixing the issues.

ok i'll whisper this next bit then;
I notice you are linking your jquery source direct to Microsoft website, would it not be better to link this to CP servers in case the MS site went offline for any reason? It maybe doesn't but i would have thought you would want to keep external dependency minimised.
(http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js)

A few reasons:
1. Many sites use the Microsoft and Google CDNs for jQuery (we found Microsoft to be faster) andso if a reader visits one site that links to that file, then comes to us, they already have the same file on their machine so no need to re-download it - even if they have never visited us
2. Microsoft's CDN is geographically distributed meaning the files will be served from servers closer to the reader than our single server
3. We have pretty good uptime, but we can't compete with Microsoft in that game

Look carefully at the source
<script type='text/javascript'>
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='/script/JS/jquery-1.4.2.min.js' type='text/javascript' %3E%3C/script%3E"));
}
If the Microsoft CDN fails our own version will be pulled down automatically.

Thanks Chris, that interesting to know, it makes sense. I'll have to remember that for the future.

If CP goes down does it really matter that MS is still hosting the default copy of jquery you use?

Good to know, thanks!

That big long timeout you just experienced? Think of it as me backing a large cement mixer out the gate during rush hour.
