The post about helping Rex, can we move it to the lounge? Pesonally I think it's important enough.
Thanks.

Why not just start your own thread in the Lounge?

When you use the calendar icon to change a date on the Search page, and then select a month besides the current one, no day is selected. If you then click on something else, the data field is left blank.
My suggestion: when another month is selected, automatically select day 1, since that is probably what is intended.

|

This goes against what many calendar selectors do, which is allow you to browse back months or years without actually committing. If you decide not to go ahead then your original selection is unmodified.
However, our current calendar control bites and we're replacing it.

Please change the Relevancy/Date option in Search page to just Date. The way it works now, you might as well rename it Relevancy/Random, because the result list makes no sense from a date standpoint.
At least add a Date Only sort order, if you want to keep the current option.

This may be something you already have on your TODO list.
Here is an article[^] that got three 1 votes while waiting to be approved. The reason for the votes, as far as I can tell, had to do with formating errors made by the author. He/she made corrections and the article was approved. It looks much better, and I'd be willing to bet that the three voters might reconsider their votes if they were to see the article now.
So my suggestion is to reset the votes when an article gets approved or prohibit voting in the first place.

Hence the option for revoting by members.

I'd bet the chances that those members will revote are pretty small.

Actually, I'd suggest notifying the voters by email when an article is approved, is updated or what ever.

I was thinking of something similar, but that could lead to some users being completely overwhelmed with emails becuase they would receive notifications from all articles that they voted on. However, their could be the option of only sending emails if someone voted 1 or 2 for that article. Either way, I think the email may be more of hassle than anything else. Possibly a minor notification in 'My CodeProject' would be sufficient.

Of course Chris would aggregate them all in a single daily mail message.

Because I expect a human editor to reformat articles, I don't vote based on format, grammar, and spelling.
But editing won't fix problems with content, or the lack thereof, and I don't want to have to remember which artcles I want to vote on after posting.
Yes, I report many as substandard, but there are also many that aren't quite that bad.
Each user has his own standards.
I wouldn't mind a message asking me to review my vote.
On the other hand, if gold+ members' articles don't go through the approval process, they won't benefit from this.
I, personally, would like a kind of peer-review process, involving only gold+ members.

Isn't it bizzare how people dump articles through the wizard and don't check the results? This morning I was looking at an article that is perhaps interesting; I just couldn't get past all of the formating errors and guideline violations. Shame.

It would be good if CP can show who is voting on the message same like how MSDN forums shows.

What, you don't like the one-vote sucker punch?

Wouldn't that lead to privacy issues? And depending on the message it make the list quite long.

I don't think so. It works really well in MSDN forums.

Ya, this is correct.

It seems that these two could be merged into one console. They both have similar purposes and would keep their respective functions, they would just be combined into one centralized location.

Hmm. I'll think about how best to do this and whether we can fit everything on.

I've noticed that a ":" + "O" creates a .
Can I suggest the face used on most social sites/chat apps (i.e MSN Messenger) be used instead?

Today I got an email notification pointing me to a response to a post of "mine", a link to the post can be found here[^]: the reply isn't to a post of mine. I think something is going wrong with the forum links as I've experienced a number of problems with them lately.
