It seems I've joined you, I was barely over the conditions for gold before, and I really didn't feel I deserved it having not contributed properly. I haven't posted in the programming forums for a while and I've not written an article, though I hope to some day (I just can't pick a topic that either isn't covered already or I'm not sure anyone will actually find interesting).
At the very least, I don't think I'll have earned my platinum without having posted an article.He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

K that's really weird.
Your platinum with 7,976 total points I'm silver with 8,657 total points.
Me thinks something is wrong

| Yeah, but if you squint then silver looks like platinum ------------------------------------

I thought it was silver at first until I hovered for a tooltip
I guess the individual statuses are in themselves "weighted" for the overall calculations. On comparison, I'm more of an organiser, I guess that's weighted more?He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

Hmm had to check what organiser means again.
I guess I'm not much of a voter

Just kidding!
Actually I wanted to point out that what you see when you Preview a post is not what the post looks like when you post it.
Example: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/threads/MultithreadDelegate.aspx?msg=3405683#xx3405683xx
When I created this post, it had a blank line at the end, so it wouldn't run into my sig. When it was posted, the blank line was removed (I just edited it, and the blank line is indeed totally gone).
I'm guessing you're doing this because some retard put a million blank lines at the end of a post, but I wish you would at least retain one blank line.

Yay! Non reputation!
There are couple of issues with the current formatting.
1. We're stripping you of a newline. Bad programmer. Bad!
2. We're stripping newlines after closing >'s indiscriminantly. Lazy programmer! Lazy!
Both will be fixed.cheers,

When there are few tags to a question in QA, the 'votebar' and the three info boxes are placed fine. But when there's several tags, the info boxes and the votebar gets moved apart, making it look a bit 'ugly'.

This happens on Firefox 3.6 by the way.
Also, the info boxes and the votebar are placed waaay too much to the left - sometimes they are almost literally leaning against the question.
They seem to get placed right next to the question text, instead of being placed in the very right side where they were placed before. Is this on purpose?![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) Kristian Sixhoej

Have you considered imposing a limit on the number of answers by the same person to the same quick question? Or perhaps a diversion to a page that suggests editing the question / existing answer rather than adding a new answer?
Some of these questions develop into dialogs that don't really fit this format. One question I've seen has acquired 60 quick answers, mostly split between 2 people.
I have no objections to the dialogs, it just doesn't work with the way Quick answers are set up.Please do not read this signature.

It is the other way around, the format provided does not fit well with the dialogs and discussions that often emerge naturally. The format needs to be improved, i.e. brought closer to what it is in the programming forums.

I won't disagree with you. I like the programming forums. Quick answers isn't yet fitting its use.
My other thought was some moderator function for quick questions that didn't fit the mold - perhaps to move it to a forum thread or to change it to a "developer dialog" that would fix the messages in order rather than letting them bounce around by rating.
From the link another person provided, it sounds like the design is headed to the format that Stack Overflow uses.Please do not read this signature.

When I click Article > General Programming > Uncategorised Quick Answers, I'm taken to this[^] page where I get a status 403. Is this section really meant to be in General Programming?"WPF has many lovers.

I don't get any error on clicking the link that you had posted. Question & Answer section open up with Unanswered tab selected.

The new FAQs are awesome. Unfortunately they are very hard to find. Here is where they are hidden on most CP pages:
left pane, Articles, General Reading (click that!), CodeProject FAQs
And then there is a Help menu with a "General FAQ".
Suggestion: add an entry in the Help menu, maybe call it "More FAQs"

Hard to find? I did not even know they existed.
Thanks for pointing out they existed.
They are indeed well written - I wanted to vote for them but apparently we cannot.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...
