I had to check Nish's profile to see WTH you were talking about.

Agree, most of them posted their pet's picture in their profile. Clickety[^](Exception - Oakman)

How about on, April 1, a special 24 hour only forum opens up where you can post pictures of what you imagine other CP members look like, perhaps limited in size to under 128k, .jpg, .png, .gif ?
best, Bill

I was thinking of impersonating other Code Project members with my profile picture. So I'd take a funky almost upside down picture of myself for Christian Graus. And I'd take a picture with a cat for Oakman. For Chris Maunder, I'd shave my head and stand next to a bike. For Pete, I'd have to age 800 years and paint myself green.

Really excellent collections of topics/links !

Thanks Bill. I'm glad you enjoy the newsletters. We enjoy putting them together.
If you have any thoughts on how we could make them even better, your feedback is welcome. You can post ideas here or send them to me or Chris personally.

Just like a couple of days ago, I got a 5 for an article and my average lowered from 4.67 to 4.63. Can someone, please check what is going on?
The article's URL is MVVM Pattern Made Simple[^]

Hi Nick,
I think you got a 4 and then a 5. The votes are weighted to favour higher level members. So a platinum-level will count and affect a vote more than a bronze level.
Thanks,

Hi Sean,
based on the recent score history, it seems like the time before last my article was upvoted on Nov 19th. If I remember correctly, yesterday the score showed 4.67. Today there happened just one extra vote and it was 5 (my number of fives has increased), yet the article's score went down.
Can you please, check?
Thanks
Nick Polyak

I'd be happy to. How the ratings are calculated is here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/FAQs/RatingReputationFAQ.aspx#calculate[^]
What you cannot see behind the curtain is who voted and what level they are. But I went in and looked at each person's level then calculated the Vt and Wt, and came out with 4.625, which was rounded up to 4.63
Thanks,

Even so, in a fair system in general, and in the one you have (or claim to have) in particular, when adding a five to whatever the voting history and the current average is, it can only increase the average (assuming all weights are positive). One cannot lower an average by adding a number that is above the current average.
As this isn't the first such report, I'd be inclined to suspect a bug. But then, I can't imagine how one could easily get the reported effect.

My apologies for not being able to reply earlier. I've been travelling these last two weeks.
I will dig through the votes and see what's happened, but one option is that members can change their votes. While unlikely, it's still possible that a high-rep 5 was change to a 4, and a low-rep non-5 changed to a 5. This would lower the average.
Regardless, I'll ensure the final calculation is what it's meant to be.

Yes. Recently, this spammer's[^] things are very big & it takes more time to load(Actually he posted his things as alternative Tip/Tricks so when I open the main Tip/Trick it takes some more time to load). So please delete spammer's forum messages, Q/A answers, Tip/Tricks permanently instead of lock & showing as Deleted.
EDIT
Also don't want to see those abusive trash things by him[^]

While doing moderation of one article today, I noticed the following error: Codeproject_Error.PNG (281.3 KB)
The screen looks weird with the header panel in the middle with a Console like error message. Is it correct behavior or a bug?

Thanks - should be good now.

Chris, I tried changing my email address from comcast.net to gmail.com, but when I tried logging in with the new email, it refused to recognize it. I'm only logged in at work due to automatic login and cookies being enabled. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Never mind. Seems to be working now.
