I was avoiding that so the hamsters could hopefully see what kept it alive!

A lot seems to depend on what people actually voted on it - so if there were sufficient different votes, it would show 13 votes but they aren't all necessarily 13 plagiarize votes.

Exactly.

What is the new "Popular" star on the posts, I mean, what is the algorithm for that (Maths free, please! )... I think 7 up-votes count.
Also, Chris, I think that your profile and the blog under it can be a good place to broadcast any new features. When I wanted to get to know of this "Popular" thing, I visited your profile page, didn't find so I thought I may ask the question and provide a suggestion here.
May help others to find out new features on the blog, in a much friendly way.

You mean on Quick Answers? It means something with a rating over 4.5.
The reason there's no blog post on it is because it's been there over 5 years!

No, no, no, no... I am aware of that one. I have seen that on many of my answers.
I am talking about the one that is on the forum messages. I am sure that hasn't been around since 5 years. Say, like this message of mine, http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4881434/So-you-mean-to-say.aspx[^], has a star with it, right next to the subject. That came up recently.

Ah, I really need to re-read the manuals.

I'm not sure if it's a case of RTFM, or Chris needs to WTFM!

I'm with you. I think Chris is playing a practical joke. I noticed the star recently on a Lounge post and couldn't remember having seen it before. Maybe it's just a very rare occurrence.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

An update:
I know I said the popular star has been around forever. However, I realised it just never worked properly. We made a change a few weeks ago that corrected a caching issue that was holding us back from being able to determine popularity for messages in the forums.

Which now reminds me of a popular saying in software engineering, which goes something like, "The bugs made in the early stages of development are the ones to be discovered in the last stages"...

It's showing now; probably caching in your browser.

The votes don't show on the article for me, but they are showing on the article list.

That is strange, they are not showing for me now. But they were definitely there the first time I looked.

This problem is appearing to me after the recent design change of Code Project. I mean viewers, downloads and bookmarks are now moved to the left side of the article page.

They seem to be back now.

0. There now are 23 votes
1. Aren't we allowed to just delete them (if they're obviously spam)? Or does it have to be done democratically?
|
|

|

In case of spam it is required not to delete, so that the filters learn with the reports.
In case of plagiarized posts... I do delete some when the counter is too high and should be already gone.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
