Come to VC++ forum, and answer Robo George's questions. And you will get many 5s. Really!!!

I see you're in Taiwan. I bet you have all the coolest stuff around! A friend of mine was out your way for a consulting assignment and probably came home broke after buying everything in sight, lol. I'm very jealous here!

Not actually. They are still at their stores; I have not brought them home.

We are working on removing all "ones" that were given by a single member.
All the votes, that specific member had been given will be reset.

Thanks Elina. It's no big deal, really, if it's too much of a hassle. I was just trying to let you know that sometimes people that help self-moderate the boards come under fire. Thanks again.

No problem, Bert delaVega.

Unfortunatelly, this is a very common case, that will show itself in many ocasions, not juts in forums.

First of all we can't delete votes because someone disagrees with someone else. The whole point of the voting system is to give everyone a say, and to allow members to have that say without fear of retribution.
However, we do have a system that spots patterns of voting that we do investigate if the system is being abused.

Nowadays pretty much anyone who gets a 1 vote immediately claims it's the uni-voter. It's probably a way to reduce the embarrassment of having been voted down. By blaming the uni-voter they deny the fact that their post was probably way off mark or was utterly nonsensical.

Sorry, Nishant, I disagree. It's not a coincidence when your list of posts are clean one day and the next day they're all marked as 1. Yes, I had a few that were marked 1 when I called out the author for plaigerism (that's expected). But then everything was marked. So I just wanted to see if it was one particular poster, if it could be reversed. I'll accept legitimate 1's!
I'm not trying to be a jerk to you. I've probably voted 5 for all your article and think you're a really good author and authority. But I don't think your statement is as cut and dry as you make it out to be.

Hey Bert,
I was not referring to you at all. I was referring to a Lounge practice that's generally observed of late.

No problem and sorry for being snippy. I misread it as pertaining to me. Email will never ever be "the great communicator".

Fair enough. The only reason I posted this was because I checked my profile one day, and the next day I had a page full of 1 votes for posts going back a couple of months. My conclusion was that I pissed someone off enough that they pulled up a page full of posts and vote 1 to each, regardless of content. So I was wondering that if a poster went back and 1 voted a page full of posts, if I could have that undone. That's all.
I'm not privy to how the votes work, so I just wanted to know if it was one poster that voted them down, then maybe something should be in place. If you say that's you have those safeguards, then that's fine. No big deal. Thanks.

Hello,
When someone posts here suggestion for this forum I often see a reply by Chris saying 'Added to the to-do list' but that's all I here about the suggestion. After some time there is no way finding whether the suggestion has been implemented or what is its status. Because of this someone who has not seen the original suggestion might suggest the same thing too. In my opinion it would be nice if we had a sticky post which showed features suggested by members and their current status. It would be nice if an author of a suggestion got an e-mail when his suggested feature gets implemented.
Thanks 
P.S. I hope that my suggestion will not have the same fate as other suggestions

Basically, you are looking something like a support request (Ticket) for even suggestions and feature requests although the ETA may be (and can be) a little longer than what it would be for a bug?

This is a nice idea but unfortunately there are a couple of problems
1. The list is huge and ever changing. I'd have to setup an automated feed into this forum otherwise I'd be spending all day updating the post.
2. As soon as you post a list of what you will be doing there will be arguments about what is more important, what should be done first, and then recriminations if a member's favourite suggestion was implemented before another member's favourite suggestion.
3. We don't need the pressure of having 200 or so TODO items and 5 million members saying "when will it be done?? Huh?? When???" We'd rather keep some things as a surprise, and we'd also like the luxury of changing our mind with regards to what we implement and what we don't. We've had some items on the list that were really, really dumb ideas

A little reality figure might also bring in a System.OverflowException.

Maybe you could post an item on eBay - you know, offer to implement one site feature request, and put it up for auction - sort of like the "evening with Scarlett Johansson" auction.

One of my biggest grievances with the CP is the fact that it’s so hard to paste code. I have to insert non-breaking spaces, replace angle brackets and so forth.

A couple of options:
1. If you use IE then anything pasted is automatically HTMLEncoded
2. Uncheck the "ignore HTML tags in thie message"
Adding a full WYSIWYG editor is on the TODO

Hi All,
I attempted to set a license while viewing an article at its end (i.e., not during modification). After clicking apply, I received the message, "Not enough information was supplied in order to display this page". When I revisted the article, the license was not applied.
