And what seems to be the problem?
My sitting fat in the middle of that list perhaps.

OriginalGriff only does things which are original. Consequently, this is unlikely to reoccur.
Closing bug as "can't reproduce" (but adoption isn't out of the question).

I have seen that a lot of solutions/ tip & trick are downvoted by the users for no reasons. Its very discouraging to the users who research and post the answers. I observed many of the working solution are downvoted. Morever downvoting reduces more points than the user has received by posting the solution.
My suggestion is that when some answer is downvoted, the voter should be made compulsory to enter the comments why the answer was downvoted. Also make him loose some points ( my suggestion is 2) for downvoting a solution.

There are people who take pleasure in down voting, don't let it annoy you.
If a post is genuinely bad it will attract a lot of negatives and rightly so. For a good post that gets a 1, it will normally receive a 5 from someone in recompense. On the whole if you keep posting good quality comments, then your reputation will reflect that.

As you can see, some idiot downvoted your question. I have +5'ed it in compensation and trust one or two others will do the same.

Thank you Nagy and Richard for encouraging me.
And you are 100% right ; even if some of the ill minded users down vote the articles/solutions, in the long run only the working solutions will get the points. And if it really a good solution , then it will get a lot lot of points. I will try to post the best..
No doubt the good will always take over the evil..
edit- In 6 hours, my suggestion received 2 times more upvotes than the downvotes.

Not only that, but sometimes it is the original question asker - they seem to think that it's 1 for good, and 5 for bad occasionally.
If it is malicious, then the best thing to do it ignore it - if you let them know it annoys you, it gives them an incentive to continue.
Requiring a reason isn't as helpful as you might think - there are enough sock puppet accounts already that could be used for that purpose: we don't need more.

I have seen many 'platinum' members downvoting the best feasible posts/solutions. I am now sure that these guys do this just to gain reputation points.
I suggest CP should not grant reputation points for downvoting.

Dear Chris
Thanks for the info . ( I voted it 4 since it benefitted me.. )

I suggest to add new tags like extjs,ext.net and etc to give a proper tag to question related to this.
Thanks

Those with Silver status can add new tags at will, so patience is the answer.

Hamster Wranglers,
I am not sure but I believe that I may have stumbled onto a bug. Symptoms are as follows:
If the highlighted text that I intend to turn into a URL hyperlink is the same as the last relative path in the URL... the bug removes the last relative path from the URL.
Heh, not sure if that makes any sense so let me give a graphical representation and steps to reproduce.
For example... if I want to turn the text rfc1737 into a wiki link to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1737[^]
If I highlight the text rfc1737 and paste the link on top it... I get:
rfc1737[^]
For some reason it removes the rfc1737 from the URL path. I have tested this on Webkit,Google Chromium and IE9.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune
