Q. The colors of the names of CP members displayed in forums.
Are gray and red the only reserved ones for low rated and high rated respectively? Also, why do some appear in bold; are those formatted by the members to look so?
R. Ratings.
Could there be a small text displaying the break up of the votes, only to the poster and not others (I suspect others' voting might get influenced), that shows how many 1's 2's etc have they received? Its hard to do the math every time and boring as w(h)ell.

Red and Grey are used to confer voting indication, and are done so on the thread name and on the user name but only if the user has not set his colour. ie If a user sets his User Name colour to, say, Green, it will remain green regardless of votes.
Similarly the Bold is set by the user too.

True but bold is set by the voting as well
Red (good votes) will put the user name in bold.
Side note:
The grey threshold is determent by the 'noise' level drop down on the forums

Bold isn't set by the voting.

An unanswer button or unnotanswer?
IMO, there can be more than one correct answer so the current situation works OK I think.

Hey,
I just wondered, why there is no section for artificial intelligence here!

No one has thought of it?

I'd say that falls under Algorithms...
That forum is underused anyway.

Maybe because there is no such thing!
It's time for a new signature.

There is a forum on managed C++!

What a great idea. I'll make it happen. Or, make sure someone else (looks at Sean) makes it happen

Whenever I tried to post a comment
Same thing - just undouble the back slashes:
/// \<returns\>([^\<]*)\</returns\>
to this Q&A question[^]
I get a "Server problem - please try again later". If I remove the regular expression, it goes straight through. I tried a couple of times, with the same result each time.
[edit]I just got it again - it appears to be that if you use a backslash character in a comment, you get a "Oops! There seems to be a server problem, please try posting your comment later." popup.[/edit]

The Tags filter on "Latest Articles" And "Search Article" not working propelry
On IE8 the filter is hidden until you focus on the tags text box,On Chrome the filter is ALWAYS shown.
On IE8 the role combo box is working properly ,On Chrome nothing happens.
Is there a way to perhaps add a screen shot?
I think it would be usefull at least in this fourm.

Hit Ctrl+F5. We reworked the javascript and Chrome is notoriously aggressive on caching old copies.

A minor one, but it often gotchas me. There is a small area to the left of the forum topic where highlighting works but the link doesn't. The cursor is standard arrow rather than finger. Get over there, click, and nothing happens. If I wasn't watching the cursor, I get a mental timeout and handling the resulting exception hurts what's left of my brain.
While we're in that area, it would be nice if the 'unread' highlighting was different from the 'currently viewing'. Quite a few times I've reselected the one I'm already looking at.
FF 3.6 and Chrome 5.0 - don't know about IE.

It is different but very subtle.
Current viewing has a white background and bold text.
Unread has the 'normal' background and bold text.
But because of the 'normal' color being not that much different from white it's very difficult to see the difference

I can see it now you point it out. I'm normally viewing exactly straight on to an LCD monitor and the normal/white contrast is minimal. If I lower my head, everything gets redder and the contrast is greated greater.
Thanks,
Peter

I can't repeat the dead-air problem, but I will make the highlighting subtly more, er, less subtle.
