Replaces "1" and "5". I'm not interested in whether a question is a "3". I want to be able to highlight the good and the bad. I'll be adding more features very soon.
They are bigger than normal to highlight them (for the moment)

This article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/ConceptualChildren.aspx[^] seems to have 29 votes, all 5. When I hold mouse cursor on 5th bar of the small barchart it says 9 votes 100.0% yet the article total score is: 4.78. Two problems:
1- If 100% of votes are 5, then why it's 9 out of 29.
2- If all voters gave 5, then why total score is not 5?
I'm not sure the second to be a bug, but it's likely to be.

It's recent data only (see the tooltip when you hover over). We only started storing individual votes last December after we reworked our infrastructure

Thanks for quick reply.
I've noticed that already, I just thought the article is new.
Sorry for disturbing.

I was just wondering if it'd be possible to change the icon for the <pre> snippet in the message editor to something like code block.
I'm only thinking of this because of the number of people who've posted blocks of code in the forums using the <code> tabs which makes it hard to read and I'm thinking perhaps it's because they don't know what pre means?
Thoughts?

I second all suggestions helping people in publishing code with optimal readability.
Without PRE tags, most code is hard to read, VB.NET code especially so.
The buttons below the message text box already have tooltips, with a short text,
but it is probably too short to be really helpful.
Maybe a help button could be added, giving a top-down guide on how to include
single-line and multi-line code snippets.

The problem with introducing help / tooltips is that new users aren't going to read them. If we just change the text to "code block" then it shouldn't require too much effort for them. Perhaps make the "code" button slightly more hidden so that they use the pre block in preference to the code block.

I see your point.
So maybe replace the button labels: "pre" by "multi-line code snippet"
and "code" by "single-line code snippet"
and keep the HTML PRE and CODE tags mentioned in the tooltip.
The alternative is to have a smarter editor: offering only one button to the user,
and letting it decide for itself which tag to use...
I bet that is not what Chris has in stock right now.

I've made a small change I'll upload this weekend that should make things a little clearer

Wow! That was fast, or are you keeping a stock of changes in your back pocket so that when people request them you can seem unusally fast on the uptake

Several suggestions about bookmarking articles:
1. When someone bookmarks an article, the author of article gets notified. The notification may also include name of the member who bookmarked the article.
2. When an article gets updated notify anyone who has bookmarked it. It would be also nice if it were possible to subscribe for other articles update.
3. In the statistics of an article show how many people have the article in their bookmarks.
What do you think?

1. Will mean serious spam for popular authors, plus I'm not sure of the value.
2. Working on it
3. Already in our wishlist

If #1 would be a valuable metric for authors, just display it in the article page itself.

He did not even make an effort to cover his identity. In his SB thread "girls" he makes a direct reference to the SB thread I wanted removed for obvious reasons. Please re-ban, or remove any posts he makes using my name.

I couldn't agree more. Whats the point in banning him and letting him come straight back?
I know, I know, theres no way to automatically stop this behaviour, but manual intervention is, unfortunately, required in this case

There may be legal problems with deleting a user name other than the one that violated the terms and conditions. However, he has obviously violated the terms again.

No, there's not. Ever seen those "Management reserve the right to refuse entry" signs on bars? Same applies. It's Chris et al's site and they can allow/ban whomever they see fit.

I've gone through the thread and while he made reference to the thread he did it in an explanatory way and wasn't specifically targeting you or trying to raise the topic again.
I can reban and block IPs and he can simply create a new account via a new IP. Let's just sit back and let the dust settle for a bit - it's way too nice a day for me to be playing whack-a-mole.
Frankly, norm.net is throwing around as much trash as DMX in that thread. They both need to chill.

True, but it makes life a bit harder for him.
What was the point in banning him if he's alowed back without even a cursory attempt at keeping him out? It makes a mockery of you.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "not even a cursory attempt". A deleted account and a blocked IP address aren't cursory and frankly I do not have time today to spend deleting every new account he creates.
