Soooo, if I think your question is poor, I can't downvote it because it might hurt someone's feelings? Believe me, I can do far more damage to the ego with words than I can with a vote button. There's a very comprehensive discussion here[^]. Ultimately, if someone takes the time to follow the guidelines I wrote about over 10 years ago[^], they are less likely to be downvoted, this stuff isn't new.

Actucaly, i am the one who opened the discution you linked. I am not against downvote in general, but against downvoting newcomers. i think that downvoting is not worth it because it can do more harm then good for new members . why not forgive everyone first bads questions ?
If the member have already used CP previously, i myself will downvote if needed.

It depends on what you are watching. Some Forums do not get a lot of new stuff, so the latest may be old.
If you were following a busy(ish) Forum like The Lounge, you would most likely only see reasonably new stuff.

The popup menu when you hover the mouse on your nickname (upper right corner) used to match the left sided menu when you are in the personal profile.
Right now they are not matching anymore, and the "recommendations" is just opening the "your bookmarks" list.
Not sure if it is on purpose.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Also, "My Contacts" appears twice in the left hand menu.
Yes, I know this message is meant for the admins, but this seemed a sensible place to post it.

A stupid question but where can I find the timeline view for the followed items?
|
|
|
|
|
The homepage! (Click the "Following" tab under "Filter articles, news and messages")
cheers

Feeling really stupid but I'm not sure which tab you're referring to...

Edit:
It looks like the Following tab is automatically selected so that's why I didn't notice it. But if it's selected should I see recent posts from Lounge which I'm following?

don't feel stupid. If something doesn't make sense it's our fault.
Look at the top right of the homepage for discusssions. That should include Lounge stuff

Thanks! Now I got it...
Works like a charm. However if someone follows an active member like OG the space reserved for discussions may run out quickly
|
|
|
|
|
That's why there's a "more" button
cheers

When navigating to Lounge (which I follow) the button always shows "Follow" when go to the page. After one or two refreshes the button changes to "Unfollow". I've noticed similar behaviour also with other forums.
Also, at the moment I can't see Lounge in "Items I follow".

Could you try again. We were having some network issues that seem to have resolved themselves.
Please reply with your success/failure to follow something.

Thanks for the answer. The problem looks network or performance related but still exists.
I started to follow you and went to "Things I follow". Results:
- After opening the page, I see only "Attributes" tab which is empty
- I refreshed the page 11 time, still the same
- On the 12th time I got three tabs: Forum, Member, and Attributes
- The "Forum" tab contains "Lounge" and button "Follow"
- The "Member"tab contains you and button "Follow"
- Refresh again after a short while, back in the beginning with "Attributes" only
- Refresh the page a few times, now the content is correct and the buttons are "Unfollow"
- After waiting a short while, perhaps five seconds, and refresh the page, back in square one, only "Attributes"
If there's any more information you'd like to have, please let me know.

Do you have any add blockers or antivirus?
Is your network reasonably fast or a bit flaky?
Which browser(s)?
cheers

No ad blockers, F-Secure as antivirus. Disabling it didn't change the behaviour.
Network is fine when in Europe but I have to admit that CP is significantly slower than majority of European sites I use. For example refreshing a CP page usually takes 3 seconds to complete. The page itself loads quickly but the ad's come clearly slower. Certain pages such as rep history are very often slow or do not load at all.
I tried using a VPN tunnel to Vancouver but that didn't change the behaviour, only made the connection a bit slower (as expected).
Browsers tested with:
- Firefox 58.0.2 (64-bit)
- IE 11.192.16299.0

Ads definitively lag and that's fine since they are served from a separate service and don't impact site content (though don't let that stop you supporting our sponsors ).
Rep history: yes, this is a known issue.
Overall site speed is something we're always working on. One issue is that the more rep you have the more systems are made available to you and the slower the page may become. Some of these like the moderation list are being worked on today.
We're also upgrading servers this week, with another jump in 6 weeks. Hopefully that injects some adrenaline into things.

It is even stranger that so many people cannot find their way to Your Settings[^] , and then scroll down to the checkbox on the right of the page titled "Close my account", and you can close it yourself.

On the home page the recent discussions are shown. Among them are a few spam messages which had been deleted earlier, but still appear in the list. And below each entry:

Ok, null, come down and leave now. Otherwise the CP goon squad will come and show you the door.

Thanks for the report. I've moved your message to Bugs and Sugs. This issue, while not a security issues, has been reported here[^] and we're on it.
