I'm not sure this has been suggested before, but I feel it would be very useful to have insight into the voting distribution of your articles. e.g. show a distribution graph rather than just the average score in the article.
The average voting score only starts to become an interesting figure when a lot of users voted. Specially when just publishing an article it can be frustrating to get an average of 3.5 for 2 votes while you put so much effort into getting it right. When the score is biased, it is interesting to see how.

I have suggested this before. It might be on the wish list. We will just have to wait and see what the ongoing site rewrite brings us.
You may be right
I may be crazy

I had suggested this a good while ago. I think it's a much better representation of how an article was received by viewers than the current system.
But I think changing the voting system requires some not-so-minor changes to the code. Once the .NET re-write is done, maybe we could persuade Chris to add this feature

Yes, this is something we'd like to add

Hi
I set 50 per page. This is working fine after pressing Set options.
But each time when I sign in, it is displaying default value as '25'.
It is not saving what user changed or saved earlier.
My suggestions is that it is better to save all options/settings so that user can use the same settings next time.
What do you say??

Harini,
Set Options are stored in UserCookies, I believe.

This is probably not a new idea, but it would be great if users could bookmark specific posts or replies.

Nope. It isn't a perfect solution, but Marc set up a wiki a while back that we've been using for this purpose. I even wrote a GreaseMonkey script to automate the process:

You're getting too predictable, I read the original post and just knew what you were going to say

You can get a static link to a post using the "Get link" link at the bottom of any post.

True. But it would be nice to have a posts analog of the article bookmark feature.

Imagine the extra rows it would add to the database.

Well imagine if we all started bookmarking things. Take about 50,000 members and times that by all the thousands of posts. That is a lot of rows on anyones scale, it would be slow and laggy if you didn't stick some decent hardware behind it.

You only need one row per bookmark, which is a (USER_ID, POST_ID) tuple. This scales in a linear fashion to the number of bookmarks.

This is similar to my suggestion of favorites which I recall you thinking was a good idea.

Just today in forums, quite a few messages had interesting and useful utility download URLs. I felt this can be brought as some 'Quick CLIPs'. To save, you can limit number of URLs per user.
