When I'm not logged in and looking at someone's profile it says 'You must be logged in to view other member images'
However when I'm looking at the articles posted page the member image is displayed.

I noticed this when I started looking around for my NAS article.
The "Chapters" menu on the left side of the screen doesn't appear to provide a way to get to the hardware section where my NAS article should be
EDIT: Nevermind - I found it, although I think maybe an article like that belongs more in a (new) hardware section then under "Desktop Development".

I was thinking of moving Hardware and System to General Reading. Thoughts?

I think that would be appropriate.

My article about Building a homemade NAS is missing from my articles list.
EDIT - My profile still says 30 articles, but my list of articles only shows 29.

This is because it is missing "Subject" Attributes.
The appearance of the articles on different sites (.NET/Java/LAMP) is drivven by attributes.
Your article has only "Intermediate" attribute, which shows its level, but that attribute does not belong to any site (which is the reason, you do not see it).
I fixed it now, so you article should reappear in the list
We will enforce selecting "Subject" Attributes in submission wizard itself.
Sincerely,

Life is great!!!
Enjoy every moment of it!

It was there for several weeks, and then it wasn't today. What "subject attributes" should it have had.

When you post an article there is a set of scroll boxes with attributes that allows you to specify the attributes (language, platform etc) that should be associated with your article.
The problem is we didn't have a 'Hardware' attribute (no more than we have a 'Software' attribute but we'll dodgy something up and get it back in the limelight.

His profile is clean now. Looks like he has been cremated by now.

Just wanted to thank you for the MVP certificates. In addition to the effort involved, it must have been expensive to ship those all over the world.

It's the least we could do and a very overdue. You all deserve the recognition and more.

And a third... I think its tougher to get a CP MVP than a MCSE.

Hi,
There are some good changes been made to the forum design, specially with easy voting links like good question, bad question, report spam, and so on..
However one feature is that when users reply to a question, the default option is answer(which has been changed recently, earlier it was general)...
But when users reply to aan answer, the default selected radio button is still genreral and not answer..
Users mostly are answering the questions and when a user selects reply to another users post the default selected redio button should be an 'Answer' and not a 'General'..
This is my humble suggestion..
I hope the moderators would look upon this..
Thanks!!

I can certainly do this but is it truly the case that a reply to an answer is typically an answer?

I'd guess a fairly large chunk aren't. Moving the icons to be next to the post button might help. Especially when replying to something I almost always forget about them because they're outside the part of the screen I'm actively looking at. Placing them between the text box and the post button where eyes would have to sweep over them might help from a reminder point of view.
You know, every time I tried to win a bar-bet about being able to count to 1000 using my fingers I always got punched out when I reached 4....

I am not convinced those message types are worth the trouble.
I trust the first message in a thread is a question (except in some forums), and all
the replies are either answers or somewhat off-topic (joke, rant).
Do we really hope/trust everyone will use the right icon? if not, do they still help us?
I do not object the icons are available to whomever chooses to use them judiciously, but
I would not expect that to be the normal situation.
If we want the icons to be relevant, there should be NO default, and the edit box should
be disabled until the author chooses an icon. That way he has to spend a few milliseconds
on his choice.
BTW: sorry I can't resist, linking the kind of votes one can cast to the message type
seems to complicate things.
[ADDED]: really useful icons could be "good answer" and "bad answer", i.e. an answer becomes
one or the other based on the votes it collects. Doing so, one could read the original
question and the first good answer to get a first impression on an entire thread.

...and there's even more than that we can do. Stay tuned.

Can the confusing and apparently redundant links "Spam" "Abuse" at the bottom of posts be simply consolidated into one link "Report this"?
The intent on the part of the end user is to get rid of a message that is inappropriate for *any* reason.
What's the point of cluttering up the UI with two links that specifically exclude a lot of messages that don't fit either category but should not be there? Surely if a distinction needs to be made the person responsible for deleting the post can decide.
