The site seems to be a bit more problematic than I'm used to.

How nice of you to put it down to a new programmer, and not the hamsters getting into the Christmas spirits.

What issues are you seeing?

It's been little things over the last couple of weeks. Sluggishness, the problem with trying to see subsequent pages of messages (no messages show up), the Lounge panel and Last 10 Updates being stuck on 24 November in the cache, and one I don't know if anyone's brought up - on the left-side pane that shows the Forums, the right-side of the pane isn't drawing correctly (it's leaving artifacts from the dark orange border).
I just figured you guys had hired someone new and just set them loose.

Vis artefacts = me. I'm looking into it.
Database issue = teething problems of a fairly massive custom SQL farm solution.
The really amazing thing, given what we've actually done to the poor infrastructure, is that they are the only problems you saw!

Can you guys suppress the use of smilies in <pre> and <code> blocks?

There should be an indication that you've reported an article (so you don't do it more than once). Would it be possible to do one of the two following things:
0) Remove articles that you've reported from the list of "Articles Needing Approval"
1) Have an indication on the article's page that shows a) that you have reported the article, and b) how many times the article has been reported by others.

A small icon to indicate like 'You already approved this article' alongwith whatever text comment that the approver might have entered.

Actually, it would be "You've already REPORTED this article..."

I did ask for a "I don't want to see this article ever again" checkbox from day one, but
never got it...

The system has been modified so that articles that have 5 votes with a resultant score under 2.0 will not longer be shown in the 'Pending articles' list.
No longer any need to report - just vote it down and provide some mentoring if it's awful.

... and there is a 'filter' dropdown & textbox above the person's name which don't seem to do anything. No matter what you enter and submit it stays on that person's profile.
Very minor issue, but probably takes less than 5 mins to fix (and another 10 mins to test, and another 20 mins to deploy... OK don't worry about it - it's not enough of an issue )

...is the "Most Popular" (articles) box on the home page to actually list the top 5 most popular articles. It's been frozen in time since 1492.

They *are* the most popular.
What criteria would you like to see them sorted by?

Ah, I stand corrected. But then I question the utility of such a list since it's unlikely to every change until someone posts an article whose popularity is > 13.5 (the popularity of Mike Peretz's article Asynchronous Method Invocation[^]. Mind you, I'm not questioning the quality of the article(s), just the usefulness of an unchanging list at the home page.
Might I suggest a better metric for the contents of the list would be "Most popular articles in the last N units of time" where N could be a week, month, etc.
Thanks,
/ravi
