There is one more rule [^] that says if the post has a non-minor edit then you cannot delete it. For e.g. for this[^] post I can see delete link but for this one[^] I don't see it.

True, but I didn't think it was affecting to own messages (the edition was mine too) as well :S

HimanshuJoshi is right. There is a non-minor edit to your answer. See the Quick Answers FAQ[^]
But you know what, I think we should revisit whether this rule is appropriate. I see many cases - such as this - where it isn't. I'll talk it over with the team.
I've deleted your answer BTW.

Thanks 
IMO it is not a bad idea, but in the case where you own all message and edits... would not be bad to be able to delete.

Exactly.
The original intent was to prevent members from deleting good content. I figured that if there's a non-minor edit than it may be content worth keeping around. Turns out that that's not the case. And even if you don't own all the edits. Anyway we do have the voting rule in place. If a post has a score of 3 or higher it can't be deleted. That should suffice.

FYI, I still (last time I checked) seems to be that even minor edits will prevent the answer from being deleted.

Yep sorry, I wasn't clear that these are things we are considering. But as of early this morning the non-minor edit rule is gone.

When replying to a message at the bottom of this question, "Do not interpret HTML tags (good for code snippets)" was checked (I noticed and unchecked it before posting). This is strange because I never ever check that. Also, the question itself seems to be suffering from its HTML tags having been HTML encoded, so maybe the same thing happened to the original question poster.

We'll take a closer look at this. Thanks!

Try viewing my reputation graph in IE8. It looks messed up (really small and ugly). I checked a few other profiles, which are looking normal in the same browser. Let me know if you can't reproduce it and I'll email a screen-shot.

I had the same problem earlier.
Chris suggested using Ctrl + F5 but that did not work (for me). After a few days the graph became fine automatically.
I belive this is an issue with IE8 - the cache is not getting cleared completely.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the cache. I tried clearing out the entire cache, I tried viewing the same thing in "In Private" mode, etc.,
It's ugly, as long as the browser is IE8.

I may have found something.
Try Internet Options -> Reset. I believe that is what had fixed things for me earlier.

Did you try using Compatibility view? For me, just a minute ago IE-8 showed me a message saying that it's auto switching to compatibility mode because there were problems with the site. Hasn't happened before, and I am sure if I refresh it'll be back to normal view - but still worth a try for you.
|
|
|
|

Thank you! It does work right with compatibility view. So, does this prove that IE8 is the one that has this problem? And I'm confused because it happens only when I view my profile (and has been the case with other people viewing their own profile too).
Something somewhere needs a fix.

It's a caching issue your end, I'm afraid. It's looking fine from here.

How many Tips/Tricks corresponds to one article? A lot of people claim they don't post articles because they don't have time, and Tips/Tricks addresses the time issue. However, is a single tip/trick equal to a single article?
Also, isn't the reputation requirement a little low for climbing the membership ladder?
With the advent of the new reputation and tips/tricks scoring, shouldn't membership tenure be dropped as a basis for increasing membership level?
Just thinking out loud here...

As per the new reputation system, a new Tip / Trick posted is worth 10 points and a new article posted is 100 points.
So 10 Tips / Tricks = 1 Article.
Interestingly, if I post a tip / trick and an article and someone 'up-votes' both, I get 5 points either way.

Yeah, I got that (and I think posting an article is worth more than 100 points, but I digress). However, is that logic carried over into the determination of membership level?

The FAQ does not mention anything about this. Hopefully, the CP team can answer this question.
Waiting for their response....

Maybe it has been changed, but an article upvote gets you 10 points and a tip/trick upvote gets you 5.

Ok - that sounds more appropriate - thanks for this informtion.

Membership level, as in the simple 1 size fits all broze/silver/gold is in limbo, awaiting an update. We're going to change it so you no longer have a single level, but multiple gold/silver etc based on the different things you do. You could be a gold author, but only a bronze 'expert', or you could be a platinum participant.
