To a small extent. If an article is voted a 5 by a Platinum member, then it takes 8 1-votes from a Bronze member to weight it down to a 3.

Does not necessarily have to. If the article really, really sucks, then there shouldn't be any need to justify a low vote for it.

Requiring a comment wouldn't solve anything. You'd just get a lot of comments like "adfjadas"

(I brought this up during the beta testing, just curious if you've given it any thought since.)
My profile is at http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Profiles.aspx?mid=152 but I would really like it to be a lot shorter so it's easier to fit on business cards or Moo cards[^] or résumés. http://www.codeproject.com/profile/152 would be great.

Yes - I'd love to do this.

Yeah, the new CodeProject has an automatic reply built-in

But instead of a beguile number like 152 as indicated in the first thread, a friendly name would be still pleasant. Isn't it?

Good idea. Why not just have a link from a different site that points to your member profile?

Because I want to put this on my resume and cards:
Author at The Code Project: www.codeproject.com/profile/152
That looks a lot better than:

I agree that would be rather cheesy. Why don't you have a site like michaeldunn.com, or something like that?

You can disguise it with a URL redirection service as a temporary measure: http://www.codeproject.com/profile/152[^]

Yep - see the sticky post at the top. They will be returned safe and sound, hopefully this week

Feel free to smack me with the n00b stick for not reading the sticky. That's what I get for posting after midnight.

Regarding to entering the Lounge , I have to specify some specific message topic ID (for example: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=2379178#xx2379178xx[^]). If I just click the main page of the Lounge (AKA: http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx[^]), it gives me the below error message. The failure rate is about 99%. And when it happens, the failure rate becomes absolutely 100%. The only way to get rid of the error is to specify some specific message topic ID (as mentioned above). Otherwise no matter how many refreshes, the error keeps happening and it may last for hours.

Some articles like this one[^], which is not an unedited entry, show a horizontal scroll
bar when reading the body text, no matter what the width of the window is.
The first paragraph renders as any of the following:
"...................As the chapter was"
"split into two sections.............."
"...................As the chapter w" <<<<< BAD
"split into two sections............"
"...................As the chapter"
"was split into two sections......."
"...................As the cha" <<<<< BAD
"was split into two sections.."
depending on window width. It does not apply to all articles.

I think this has to do with a bug in the code regions that are large enough to create a collapsible region. See this post[^] for more details.

Hi Scott, yes the behavior for both articles is similar, with one small diff:
the article I refered to allows the lift in the HSCROLL to grow by widening the window,
until it fills the HSCROLL which then disappears; the article you refered to makes the HSCROLL
pop from 80% filled to invisible.
On both the collapse/expand state of the code sections seem not to influence the behavior.

forums with new messages are supposed to be listed in bold, but recently often fail
to do so. My guess is there is an error in the timing logic.
Right now (3:38 PM) the list shows "Forums in bold have new messages since Saturday, January 05, 2008 3:30:00 PM", so after 8 minutes the "new" status is lost?

It is now 20:28 local time in Belgium (GMT+1).
a message [^] I posted 9 minutes ago in the C# forum does not show the NEW icon, and
(after a reload of course) the forum list shows not a single bold title, although the
footnote says "Forums in bold have new messages since Saturday, January 05, 2008 8:20:00 PM"

The yellow <font color="yellow">new</font> icons work on my system. But that "in bold" is funny. (Yes I saw the footnote after you pointed out.) Only root posts of each threads are in bold.

Hi Maxwell,
the NEW icons work most of the time for me too, but it struck me one of my messages did
not get it; so after creating the original message, I decided to add another message to
this thread.
The bold stuff is about the forum table, not the messages themselves; normally the
table items get bolded if there is anything sufficiently recent in that forum, but
somehow the logic seems to be faulty right now.
