Posts are shown with a vote rating to 2 decimal places; but the ajax update after you vote only shows to one. 3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

After seeing the below question, it's quite confusing about who marks the answer as accepted and what is a criteria for it. Can someone clarify it?
I just found this Question[^]. 4 Answers were accepted and 3 from the same user!
|

The author of the question is supposed to (and the only one that has rights to) mark an answer as accepted. I thought this was simple and intuitive but it looks like it's actually causing some confusion. We're going to change this, in the not to distant future, such that answers with an average rating over 4.5 are marked as accepted automatically. Hope that helps!

if the author of the question doesn't do anything, then you can't rightfully mark an answer as "accepted". All you can do automatically is mark it "probably good enough".
And what will happen to the rep FAQ which currently says "A member receives points for having their answer marked accepted by the author of a question."???

Yep we'll adjust the wording so it doesn't read 'Accepted Answer' because, like you said, we can't rightfully mark it accepted on the authors behalf.

That reputation event will be removed.

yeah, let's just ban the word "accepted", it has been confusing from day 1.

I have doubts with this one too... i had seen lots of right answer ... even 'Accepted as answer' marked vote 1! Not fair! is it?
Thus if we have anything like automatic marking for posts above 4.5 or so, it would ignore quite few posts that should be considered!

I wouldn't say it's merely a matter of an answer being "right". It has to be correct and a completely acceptable solution. This new approach will address the problem we've had with accepted answers having low votes.

Well it's really up to the community (especially the question author) to go through the answers and vote..

I am that user.
I too noticed that and thought it was strange, especially since apparently none of those answers answered the question. I think there is some confusion over what it means to accept an answer. There has been some discussion over this though, and I think they're working on changing the wording.

In the forum's, when you have some text selected and you paste in a link, the text selected goes between the anchor tags.
In QA, the selected text is replaced by the URL and selected ready to overtype instead of being retained.
The behaviour in the forums is much better IMO.

Fully agree, I kept getting annoyed by this, but then was too lazy to report it.

If I want to print an article, it would be nice to have a print-friendly version.
The vertical bar down the left side of the page wastes way too much toner!
EDIT: Just noticed the "Print" link above the article!
Let me change my suggestion to: It would be nice if the print-friendly version were more readily apparent!

Suggestions where we should put it?

Maybe put it in various places users are expecting it, rather than in a single place? Here are some options:
- Where it currently is.
- Top right of webpage (next to settings and such).
- At the bottom of the article (near the License and About the Author sections).
- At the bottom of the page (with the copyright info and such).
|
|

|
|
Instead of just "Print", the link should explicity say "Print-Friendly", or "Print-View".
I think that would cure the problem.

Using latest version of Chrome
Hi!
In the Lounge, if you cycle through the Latest News, questions, rants, the text to the left will change position depending on which item you click on.
You have to click on all of the items from left to right, then back again and you get to see the text move.
I had a look at in IE7 (yes, IE7 - it's a work lappy) and it works fine.
Probably just a Chrome thing...
Cheers

Read the previous thread, which reports the SAME bug.

It does not happen always. 3-4 days it was fine but i was again facing this issue yesterday.
I switched to IE. All was working fine.

At the bottom of the page you will fine the name of the server you are currently on (Web9, Web16 etc). Let me know if it's Web21 or Web22 - I've been having some weird issues with these two and that might be the problem. cheers,
