Shouldn't voting on once own aticle be disallowed as voting on once own messages is disallowed? I accidentally voted on my own article. I was surprised to find that it worked.
Speaking of voting it will be great if it is possible for a user to change his vote.

Luckily it was a 5
Surprisingly, I found it out when it stated in the voting area "you voted 5 on this article". You are welcome to vote 1 to compensate.

I'm sure it was an excellent article, well deserving of the rating you gave it.

In democratic system, a candidate can vote himself .

Funny, how every time this topic is brought up, there's an accidental vote involved... 
Speaking for myself, i suspect i'm a far better judge of the quality of my articles than anyone else is. Not that you can trust me to be honest about it when voting, but i say it's still worth the risk...

I don't think I am a better judge of teh quality of my articles, my articles which I considered crappy got very high rating and the articles which I considered good got low rating.
Is it difficult to write a GM script that can protect you?.

Exactly. Just think of all those people who got it wrong. If only they'd had your vote to guide them...

No. Here's a start (known bug: will only work for the first author on multi-author articles):
var authorLink = XPathNode(document, "//table[@class='ArticleHeader']//a[starts-with(@href, '/script/Articles/list_articles.asp')]");
var userLink = XPathNode(document, "//td[@class='userNavText']/a[starts-with(@href, '/script/profile/whos_who.asp')]");
if ( userLink && userLink.href.match(/id=(\d*)/) )
{
var userId = RegExp.$1;
if ( authorLink && authorLink.href.match(/id=(\d*)/) && userId == RegExp.$1 )
{
var voting = XPathNode(document, "//td[@class='ArticlePane']/form/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr/td[2]");
if ( voting )
voting.parentNode.removeChild(voting);
}
}(Definition for XPathNode() can be found in CPhog source... or replace with document.evaluate())

... that a new forum is required.
This week we have been so hectic with PHP related questions I have had to take 3 weeks of stress related leave.
The first of the assaults was this[^], a question so mighty its resolution that it could not be comprehended by the aids!
And then, as we were just recovering from the major casualties, we were dealt a hard and unruly blow by THIS!![^] The question that baffled the unbafflable, stumbled the unstumbleable, questioned the unquestionable! Me and my several tiny elves were left perplexed to the point of no recovery. We tried to answer but I fear it was not enough.
Another piece of evidence I would like to present is from a source with undeniable reliability, Google. A simple search for the term "PHP" returned 2,210,000,000 in a mere 0.04 secounds! (Imagine if it had been given more time!).
A similiar search for "ASP.net Microsoft Technology" showed a meer 4 results AND that took 0.38 secounds! (It had long enough).
I do believe that, due to the hardship we have faced in recent days, we require the assistance of a PHP forum.
Chris I have designed the forum for you. http://idontwanttouse.net/php_froum_design.JPG[^]

So it's also clear that we need to help ASP.net get up. PHP is already standing good & running dude, why need to worry about it?:->

CodeProject currently has Web Development forum and ASP.NET forum, ASP.NET has its own forum because CP focus is on MS technologies.
Maybe PHP is much more popular, but how many PHP users exist on CP ?
For me, a PHP forum can be great (I love PHP), but I don't want it to be a dead forum.
note:
A search in the Web Development forum for the term "PHP" within the last year returned 84 results. (I searched posts only, not replies)

Ah but would PHP users not use a forum if one was provided?

I do agree to have a forum for php. I know there are many ways to find the answer for php but it is also for any other technologies though here we are getting many of them why?? Just cause to save the time by visiting a single forum instead of roaming here and there.
We all wants to save the time and forum is the best way for that where the intelligent people are always ready to help other people anytime.
In short I think there should be a forum for php over here too.
Sorry if I spoke anything more or wrong.

No offence intended but isn't this getting a bit childish Brad?
You've been asking continuously for a PHP forum and keep getting the same response.

And that response is ".... and there isn't enough demand for it"

You know more people have to ask for it as well, the demand doesn't go up because the same person asks for it all the time

Hmm perhaps a PE forum could be created like the Java forum.

If the PHP forum means that you will be out of the Lounge then I am all for it.;P

How about settling this once and for all via a CP poll? Then if more people vote for a PHP forum, we can have one, or if more vote against it, then Brad will stop asking for one. How about that? 
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.
Neo: That's why it's going to work.

If I was the sarcastic type, I would add a jab about PHP here.

I have been a big fan of Stephan Esser's work for PHP. I contribute to his efforts as often as possible. This is going to be a big wake-up call for PHP.net (The PHP core developers)
