Because I expect a human editor to reformat articles, I don't vote based on format, grammar, and spelling.
But editing won't fix problems with content, or the lack thereof, and I don't want to have to remember which artcles I want to vote on after posting.
Yes, I report many as substandard, but there are also many that aren't quite that bad.
Each user has his own standards.
I wouldn't mind a message asking me to review my vote.
On the other hand, if gold+ members' articles don't go through the approval process, they won't benefit from this.
I, personally, would like a kind of peer-review process, involving only gold+ members.

This is on our TODO. Should be done soon

Isn't it bizzare how people dump articles through the wizard and don't check the results? This morning I was looking at an article that is perhaps interesting; I just couldn't get past all of the formating errors and guideline violations. Shame.

It would be good if CP can show who is voting on the message same like how MSDN forums shows.

What, you don't like the one-vote sucker punch?

Wouldn't that lead to privacy issues? And depending on the message it make the list quite long.

I don't think so. It works really well in MSDN forums.

Ya, this is correct.

It seems that these two could be merged into one console. They both have similar purposes and would keep their respective functions, they would just be combined into one centralized location.

Hmm. I'll think about how best to do this and whether we can fit everything on.

I've noticed that a ":" + "O" creates a .
Can I suggest the face used on most social sites/chat apps (i.e MSN Messenger) be used instead?

Today I got an email notification pointing me to a response to a post of "mine", a link to the post can be found here[^]: the reply isn't to a post of mine. I think something is going wrong with the forum links as I've experienced a number of problems with them lately.

I've been getting these server-busy errors in the message forums for days now. Certain forums are slow. Some are completely unusable/unreachable. But I don't hear anyone else complaining so is there something I can do on my end to be one of the 9,500 people online right now? Thank you.

Sorry - was just doing some unavoidable DB maintanence. Should be better now.

A while back - like last year - I suggested a new icon for message types: a suggestion icon, that could be used both on this forum and on article forums. What do you think?
|
|
|
|
|
I like the idea of the suggestion icon. Have you emailed Chris about it?

I only email Chris when it's really serious (like when one of my articles gets mangled ). I don't consider this to be critical, and besides it sounds like he's busy today.

Yep. I am sure he takes note of many of the suggestions in this forum, but as we all know, time is a tough resource to come by. Never seems to be enough of it

I think it's a great idea. The trick is that some forums should only have some icons (eg Bugs and Suggestions should have a 'bug' and a 'suggestion' icon, whereas the lounge should have the current set. I reckon the Soapbox could have it's own, special, set )
This just adds an extra layer of code that I haven't had a chance to get to yet. But yes, a great idea.

It swallows all my pretty formatted C# code
Why cant I format my own code like the following?
<font color="Blue">class</font> <font color="Teal">WaitList</font> <font color="DarkBlue">:</font> <font color="Teal">IDisposable</font>
<font color="DarkBlue">{</font>

<font color="Blue">public</font> <font color="Blue">void</font> Add<font color="DarkBlue">(</font><font color="Teal">IAsyncResult</font> ar<font color="DarkBlue">)</font>
<font color="DarkBlue">{</font>

This would just be considered an annoyance. The CodeProject has a custom formatter that removes all previous formatting on code and adds its own formatting based on the language chosen. Their is a warning in the article wizard that advises people of this. This is only in place to have consistent formatting throughout the entire site and to avoid over/under formatting and also to avoid abuse.
