Have you tried either of Hans or David's suggestions? Have you tried rebooting your machine?
Most importantly, are you still using that abomination of a browser you keep using just to make my life hell?
I've tested in IE7,8 and the others and can't replicate the issue.

Which abomination are you talking about?

At work, I have to use IE8. At home, I'm using FF4. In both instances, an answer's content that could be wider by virtue of the browser maximized on a 22-inch monitor, is not as wide as it can be. It (the text) wraps a lot sooner than it needs to.
When I changed from "fixed" to "fluid" layout, the page does take up all the available real estate in the window (no gray side panels), but the *answer* content wraps prematurely.
(I'm pretty sure the BIOS update thing was a joke.)

I updated my coding blog recently, including a CodeProject entry! with the CodeProject rel tag
http://galador.net/codeblog/post/2011/05/31/The-Content-Stream-sample.aspx[^]
If you look at the source (it's with a style of dysplay: none) it's there!
If I look at the latest date my blog has been polled, it's today.
Yet my blog is not there! 
What's going on!?!
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

Ho, good to know! 
I was just so sad...

I wish you guys would just turn off the rep points for downloads so that the reduction in points later on (when you adjust it) doesn't hurt so bad.

You could temporarily remove your download hyperlinks...
OTOH, if historical download rewarding and the imminent point reduction were to occur simultaneously, we might not even notice much.

That might be true, but still - the longer we go without the adjustment, the more noticeable it will be (for most of us normal folks that don't have 100 or more articles).

The news page is now missing two of the previous days links which are appearing on the next page. It looks like it swicthed back to showing 24 rows again instead of 26.

0) When you hover over the stars graphic for the question, you see the popup that indicates what votes were made (distribution from 1 to 5), but you DON'T get that popup for the answers. Instead, you get a popup textbox that provides the current rating and the number of votes.
1) When the distribution popup is displayed, it's not aligned at all with the stars.
Personally, I don't care for the stars and prefer the old bar. Secondarily, it seems to me that the item rating could be displayed under the stars without the need to pop up that text.

I absolutely agree with you here.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

The ratings on Q&A is still bollixed. The OP's post should have no rating whatsoever.
What's the purpose of rating the OP's question, Chris?
|
|
|
|
|
To alert members that a question is crap, but not actually in need of removal, or to raise awareness of questions that are truly clever, entertaining, or particularly well posed.

Crap by whose definition? I have seen questions downvoted because someone didn't understand what was being asked, but was a perfectly valid question if you had the right knowledge about the subject. And what are you going to do with that rating? At least Luc has a reason for wanting downvotes on articles - so he can avoid those articles in the future. What are you going to do with that rating? Look it up some time in the future, to have a good laugh?

You have not broken any rules per se.
People are downvoting because they are not able to understand what you are trying to say (to be honest, neither am I).
Just do remember that programming questions are not generally taken well in the Lounge - you can try some other forums for that.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Advertising your articles is considered bad form. If everyone who posts articles advertised them in the Lounge it would be overflowing with such messages. The formal rules of the Lounge are displayed at the top of the page. The unwritten rules you have to learn as you go along. If your message gets downvoted then that is an indication that you have done something which people think is not appropriate so you should avoid doing it in the future. Remember that all these forums are largely policed/monitored by CodeProject members so you may find inconsistencies in the way that some rules are enforced.
Happy posting.
The best things in life are not things.

It's the nature of a mob I'm afraid. The problem is, rather than just ignoring the comments you tried to attack them for doing so - repeatedly posting the same thing. Most of the people in the lounge have been active participants for a very long time, so attacking them provokes a fairly primal response and their friends leap to their defence.
Next time, just ignore them. Don't descend to the same level.

I was thinking the same thing.

Nonsense. We use the clueless to hone our skills.
