Latest Popular Articles 30-Apr-02 0:01 30-Apr-02 0:01  Hi, I think an article having a grand total of 4.89/5 from 84 users, is more popular than on having 5/5 from 6 users. Why not taking the # of voters in to account also? (84 * 4.89 > 6 * 5) Were talking about "popular" aren't we? Bye, Geert Re: Latest Popular Articles 30-Apr-02 0:11 30-Apr-02 0:11  My formula is wrong: If 100 voters give an article a 1 that means it's a bad article. And surely not better/more popular than one getting a 4 of 10 users. But, my suggestion isn't wrong: Somewhere there must be a formula to express that 4.89/5 from 84 voters is more popular that 5/5 from a couple of voters. Anyone a suggestion? (Because I think that's what you need to implement it, isn't it Chris?) Bye, Geert. Re: Latest Popular Articles Mark A30-Apr-02 11:10 Mark A 30-Apr-02 11:10  Many people have thier own methods of rating articles. Some of them seem well done but have a very low score. Trying to modify the current formula doesnt seem worth it imho. Especially when people are voting a 1 on certain articles just to bump thier own in the grand scheme of things. Just my 2 cp and a cup of mojo.

But I agree that an article that's been rated 5 by a just a few users is unlikely to be more popular than one rated less than 5 by many more users. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com Newsletter -Dy29-Apr-02 1:41 -Dy 29-Apr-02 1:41  Would it be possible to have the weekly polls results in the newsletter? Every week I take part in the poll, and then forget to go back latter on to see how other people have answered... Dylan Kenneally London,UK Re: Newsletter Chris Maunder29-Apr-02 15:04 Chris Maunder 29-Apr-02 15:04  You got this request in *just* in time cheers, Chris Maunder The Lounge Roger Allen29-Apr-02 0:32 Roger Allen 29-Apr-02 0:32  Although the lounge is a great place, is it possible to add a link to it in the discussion boards page, and also at the top of any other board your viewing in the same format as ther others, like The Lounge (136000/3), showing how many new posts there are? This would bring this one board in line with all the rest and make CP have a more consistent user interface across the board(s). Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 If I had a quote, it would be a very good one. Re: The Lounge Shog929-Apr-02 4:32 Shog9 29-Apr-02 4:32  This won't quite meet your needs, but what i've done is added this link to my links toolbar. This way at least i see post counts for the other forums while in the lounge. -------- all the modern things have always existed they've just been waiting to come out and multiply and take over Björk, The Modern Things Annoyance turns to gratification :-) Nish Nishant27-Apr-02 16:49 Nish Nishant 27-Apr-02 16:49  Thanks for the new feature Chris, where the forum sorts itself in such a manner, so that the post you reply to is shown on screen. This is such a brilliantly beautiful feature for threads with more than 25 posts. Now we go straight to the post in question. Good idea and excellently executed. I know this is the "Suggestions" forum, but I had to post it here as I didn't find a "Thank You" forum anywhere Nish The rumours that I am an AI bot are absolutely false. These rumours have been propogated by *them* to focus all the attention on to me, while *their* bots take over the planet. Thank y%%%% Divide by zero. Cannot proceed. Abort(y/y)?

(-_-) MC++ board Tom Archer27-Apr-02 12:19 Tom Archer 27-Apr-02 12:19  Is this still a possibility. It seeemed as though the majority of people who responded to the thread asking about were in favor of it.

Re: MC++ board James T. Johnson27-Apr-02 15:02 James T.

Right now it sorts on message count I think, which is sorta okay I guess. But since there are only about 12-15 boards, what's the big deal? It's not as if we are on puny 15" monitors huh? We have at least 17 right, all of us? Nish The rumours that I am an AI bot are absolutely false.
