For now, I am facing another issue specifically with this particular forum!
My page does not fully renders and I am unable to see messages.
Done F5 & Cntrl+F5 multiple times but same result! Unable to verify the page load thing for now 
Taken couple of screenshots if you need.

| If you could send the screenshots that would be good. It doesn't sound like a caching issue so forcing an uncached reload (Ctrl+F5) won't help. I've wandered all around that forum and can't see anything my end, but send me the shots and I'll see if I can sleuth this one. cheers,

I just voted to remove a message (doesn't happen much but well this one deserved it )
And I got this:
You or someone at your IP address has been voting too often. Please wait a moment and try again
Granted I did vote 2 message's before that (of the same person and for the same reason, completely wrong messages)
So am I to understand there is a voting threshold of only 2 votes in a given time?

Happened to me once as well - but that was a week or so ago.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...

It happens when your votes come too close together (it's happened to me a couple of thimes in the last few days). This was implemented to prevent univoting. If they have to wait between votes, they may lose interest in the process. Unfortunately, it sometimes spills over into normal site usage..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Hmm k I can understand that but it wasn't like they where that fast behind each other.
I had to reload 3 different pages to vote and on the 3th it gave me that message.
Or maybe I'm just to fast for my own good

Exactly how is that pronounced? "Thirth"?

No, I think the servers would throw some null-ref errors on that one.cheers,

You could remove / refactor about 50% of the "stuff" on every page and the site would be 100% better for it. It's got too many options and links in too many places. It's starting to look like a coral reef instead of the nice clean professional site it surely should be.
There's 42 buttons / hyperlinks on this message editing form alone and they're *ALL* visible and in my face at once. It's starting to look more than a little amateurish in this day and age.
The reputation stuff and graph is all fine and dandy in an Asperger's geeky circle jerk kind of way but a little love put into the basics of a good, modern, clean looking site is not only practical, it's long overdue.

We've been discussing this forever.
Part of the issue (that we have to get over) is that everyone wants something different. Some members want nothing - just content. Others want a million levers and pulleys. Us? Well, maybe we are a little aspergers geeky circle but your point is taken.
[Edit] How about we run a "redesign The Code Project" competition? We've tried it before with middling results, but I'm more than happy to give it another crack.cheers,

Honestly what I forsee resolving this and many other issues is a bit of iron fisted dictatorship on your part. You can't ask the users about everything or you end up in a quagmire and nothing get's resolved and the UI starts getting all coral reefy trying to satisfy everyone.
If you think back over the years there have been many times when you guys made a change to howls of indignation, now I suspect even the most vocal don't even remember what they were against.
Surely it's good to elicit some ideas but at some point you have to say "This is what CodeProject is and will look like" and as long as the ideas are authentic and usable you simply can't go wrong (unless you get rid of the colour scheme, then it's a disaster  ).

Can you please let me know what you think of http://beta.codeproject.com/KB/asp/readfile.aspx[^] as a first step in cleaning up the pages. The article view page is the single most viewed page, hence I started there.
As to this edit page itself, any suggestions on how to cleanup / tidy up some of the options we have?
cheers,

Very nice, it looks more modern and clean instantly.
One suggestion to take it further: put the discussion area on a tab as well. Not only would that further clean things up but it would make it easier to participate in discussion while flipping back and forth to the article itself.
Revision thing is interesting as well however if this is a mock up and you're just considering it I wouldn't bother considering the amount of back-end work involved to implement and potentially huge storage implications versus the usefulness.
