When there are few tags to a question in QA, the 'votebar' and the three info boxes are placed fine. But when there's several tags, the info boxes and the votebar gets moved apart, making it look a bit 'ugly'.

This happens on Firefox 3.6 by the way.
Also, the info boxes and the votebar are placed waaay too much to the left - sometimes they are almost literally leaning against the question.
They seem to get placed right next to the question text, instead of being placed in the very right side where they were placed before. Is this on purpose?![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) Kristian Sixhoej

Have you considered imposing a limit on the number of answers by the same person to the same quick question? Or perhaps a diversion to a page that suggests editing the question / existing answer rather than adding a new answer?
Some of these questions develop into dialogs that don't really fit this format. One question I've seen has acquired 60 quick answers, mostly split between 2 people.
I have no objections to the dialogs, it just doesn't work with the way Quick answers are set up.Please do not read this signature.

It is the other way around, the format provided does not fit well with the dialogs and discussions that often emerge naturally. The format needs to be improved, i.e. brought closer to what it is in the programming forums.

I won't disagree with you. I like the programming forums. Quick answers isn't yet fitting its use.
My other thought was some moderator function for quick questions that didn't fit the mold - perhaps to move it to a forum thread or to change it to a "developer dialog" that would fix the messages in order rather than letting them bounce around by rating.
From the link another person provided, it sounds like the design is headed to the format that Stack Overflow uses.Please do not read this signature.

When I click Article > General Programming > Uncategorised Quick Answers, I'm taken to this[^] page where I get a status 403. Is this section really meant to be in General Programming?"WPF has many lovers.

I don't get any error on clicking the link that you had posted. Question & Answer section open up with Unanswered tab selected.

The new FAQs are awesome. Unfortunately they are very hard to find. Here is where they are hidden on most CP pages:
left pane, Articles, General Reading (click that!), CodeProject FAQs
And then there is a Help menu with a "General FAQ".
Suggestion: add an entry in the Help menu, maybe call it "More FAQs"

Hard to find? I did not even know they existed.
Thanks for pointing out they existed.
They are indeed well written - I wanted to vote for them but apparently we cannot.Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

They were discussed in the Lounge several days ago, I didn't find them then.
And now they are mentioned in the newsletter, with a link, that's what triggered this.

I too was unaware of so many FAQ's! Thanks for pointing it out...

I second this... it's really difficult to know otherwise.

That's almost as hard to find as my post[^] from a few days ago complaining about not being able to find them at all.  3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

When I answered this question [^]
I noticed a strange number on my reputation points 3902, hovering above it tells me it's my total points, yet my total points on my profile are 8613.
I could blaim caching for that but the difference seems a bit much.

I agree to this, i am facing/noticed a lot like this but based on current work going on with reputations didn't report it. Keeping this thing in check, will look back again once the reputation thing is little stabilized.
The difference is too much to be considered as Cache! IE browser, various web servers.
