I was wondering if anyone had considered changing the weighting of votes to take into account how an individual votes. What I mean is this:
For each article a person votes on...
First calculate the standard deviation of the votes on an article.
Determine how many standard deviations away their vote is (decimal number)
Then add that number into an average from other articles they voted on
This average distance from the mean vote (in standard deviations) would then affect the weight of their next vote. This solves a lot of problems. People who like to vote low or high to "move" the current score to what they think it should be loose the ability to do so. In addition, on the rare occasion that someone likes to give everyone "1"s their voting power is also diminished. I think it would encourage people to vote the score they think something should get rather then trying to "move" the score to what they think it should be.
Now, there are a few more things involved with this. Each person's average difference from the mean vote (in standard deviations) would need to be recalculated before they vote again. If they are the second person to vote for something and the scores go as follows:
5, 2,1,1,2,2
Then without the recalculation there voting power is diminished when it clearly should not be. This also raises the issue of re-scoring everything they ever voted for when their voting power changes. I don’t think it is necessary to re-score everything, but I really don't care.
Also, if someone wants to get fancy and add statistical error calculations, for things with very few votes, it couldn't hurt.
Well, that's it. I know it is a lot to ask, but as long as there is a rewrite in the works I thought I should put it out there.

I just want a Visual Studio topic on the messaga board.
Sometimes I've post new threads about VS on Visual C++ / C# and so on. I know that's not right but what to do...?

I guess this forum[^] is the nearest for discussing Visual Studio issues. Perhaps if it was renamed to Visual Studio issues rather than VS.NET IDE issues.

Thanks. I've actually missed that forum and will gladly share my thoughts in that room!

I was looking up some stuff about homophonic name matching and went to your site at the suggestion of one of the young sprouts that work here. I found a link to an article that mentioned something about Religious wars flaring up over differences between programming languages. But the only languages mentioned in the article were Java, C++ and VB. I'm sorry, but I'm not hip. Soundex doesn't do the job, but the only languages I could code any homophonic matching algorithm in would be COBOL or Assembler or ADS. Can anybody out there translate all this "class" and "method" stuff into words I could understand?
Would it really be terrible if you had a place for COBOL or Assembler solutions on your board? If not, can anyone direct me to a similar board for us old-timers?

Is there any chance to get <pre> tags along with the appropriate syntax highlighting based on the lang attribute working for comments? Even if this was only on the messages posted for articles it would be good.

Hi.
Any way to know the number of download ?
It's interresting to know the Hit number,
but how many people are downloading the
sources is also important.

So who do we pay to get Microsoft to add Mac Intel support to their compiler/Visual suite? XCode sucks and CodeWarrior's a dead product.

I guess it would depend on how many people agree... But I wouldn't mind seeing a forum dedicated to GDI/GDI+

Sorry for my complains. Indeed I like Code Project site. But I was hurt that the site cannot provide the function that we can update our articles manually. I send the update to editor on Sunday last week, but until now there is no response.(Update of ExcelQuicker, http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/excelquicker.asp)
My best regards,
Eunge

I belive it's not a technical problem. Problem is that if everybody could modify their articles without control, it could be and (would be) misused IMHO.
Regarding update, I have nothing to say, since I am not an editor

Hi:
I think some of the forum pages are slow, particularly if the number of child threads are large. I have a simple suggestion. Perhaps it can download only the header lines and keep a hidden DIV or like that as usual, without any content.
When the particular header line is clicked, a JavaScript JSRS Call (Remote Executing Script) or XMLHttpRequest (as in Gmail) can be invoked to load the contents of that thread.
I think that should speed up rendering of pages. Is'nt it?

Hi:
I think CP webmasters can think of linking CPForums via NNTP. So that Rich Text Posting and Offline Message/Viewing/Archival etc of Outlook Express and similar Newsreaders and be harnessed at best levels.

In all the CP Forum Posts, there appears two links entitled 'Modify'/'Delete'. Actually these links work only for the author on his own post (controlled by the logon session).
So I think, CP can try to not rendering the link at all for other posts for which the logon account does not have Posting Ownership.
This will improve on the following perspectives:
(*) Redundant Texts/Links are avoided.
(*) If a user clicks a link and the need of a server roundtrip and a superflous server validation can be avoided.

I often see questions posted in the forums that I too would like to know the answer to, or which just interest me to see what replies anyone might post.
Unfortunatly I don't have the luxury of time to check on a regular basis if any reply was posted, with the result that a bunch of new posts 'hide' the post of interest a few pages further.
So what I would like to suggest is the ability to 'subscribe' to a thread, so that if anyone posts a reply to a thread, everybody who subscribed to it would get notified too.
Greetings,
Davy
