Participant says 1 point for signing in.
Does that mean a member must sign out and in again to get it?
I see no movement even though I am here every day.
But I do not sign in each time, I autoconnect and am already signed in.
I would have thought there would be black body radiation, one point added for the first post of the day on the participant total.
Is this the case, am I mistaken or is it a bug?

What if you login, don't post a message, hang around, read a few articles and log out?
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...

Theoretically possible, however, not very DD-like.

"Signing in, for instance, means..." can be found in the latest, much improved, rep FAQ.

I autoconnect as well and for me the point gets added at about 3pm local time (midnight in Ontario).

I always thought login points might have something to do with it being 12:00 AM in Ontario

Yeah, I only noticed when exactly the other day.
Until CP introduces IP based geolocation it makes sense that the "day" used for login points would be standardised on a single location, in this case the data center.

GMT is the usual global time.
As it is a global site, perhaps Zulu should be adopted.

Nope you don't need to sign in and out each day. We only limit this event from occurring more than once per day for any particular member. However, if you have an active session across two days we would not record two sign-ins. Though I doubt anyone is really that involved with the site.

Chris, I'd like one of my programs to access a person's personal page on CP through his user ID.
IIRC the user ID used to be the normal way to link a Who's Who list to a personal page, something like
http:
but then some time ago you have changed the Who's Who listings to use the friendly names.
The mid approach still works most of the time, e.g. it works well when typed in tbe browser's address box. However it typically fails (over 60%) when executing a Process.Start(url) and the default browser (FF3.0 on my Vista system) isn't running yet. It typically succeeds (say 90% of the time) when the browser is already running. Same when IE7 is default browser.
As a minor issue, having very short userID numbers (such as 1) makes it fail even inside the browser; prefixing some zeroes solves that one though.
When it doesn't work, what I get is a CP page saying:

Page Not Found
Unfortunately the page, image or download you are looking for is not on our servers. Can you please recheck your URL or try searching again from our homepage.
I'm a bit puzzled here; could you please help me out. My next article depends on it.
TIA

Thanks for catching this!
This is the correct link for that page:

And I have fixed it in that article as well

Is there a time frame for getting
0) a vote tally - how many votes of each value have been cast (like we get on our articles)
1) A "My vote of 1 (or 2)" (like we get on our articles)
2) The ability to vote on our own tip (again, like we can do on our articles)

The reason we don't show this is to keep the UI clean and minimal. We do show at the time of vote, however. Do you think it'd be useful to have it always visible?

We have a very high priority item to not allow down-voting without comments for questions, answers and tips/tricks. Meaning likely within the next couple weeks.

Why?

0) Got an idea on how to do this neatly. Stay tuned.
1) Done.

Can we *please* get the ability to optionally turn on email notification when someone votes on one of our articles, tips/tricks, and blog entries. This setting would be either in our profile (best choice) or in the article and tip submission wizards.

Just a notice that a vote has been cast? We can't send an email saying *who* voted.
What about if you post an article and 100 people suddenly vote for it? Wouldn't that be, well, kinda annoying?

Yeah, just that a vote was cast. I know you won't say who voted.

Well, it would be an opt-in thing. By default it would be off, and I assume they would always be able to turn it off later.

Looks like 8 points are being deducted if a message or answer is downvoted. Is this correct?
Atleast does not match with Reputation FAQ's!

Points are weighted by member level.

Ok! That was what i thought of, just wanted to get confirmed. Not sure, if this needs a mention in FAQ to avoid any confusion. What say?
|
|
|
|
|
Yup.. we'll add it to the FAQ.
