The only down-side is that you haven't figured out how to improve people's sense of humor.

Have you been tweaking that code? I noticed that several of my articles were reduced in rating with no new associated votes being cast.

Yes - I expanded the accepted deviation from the mean a little to ensure that votes either side of the mean were being counted. Thus, if you have any articles with a bunch of 5s and a few 4s, those 4s are being counted whereas in the first iteration they weren't.

Seriously speaking if person A has a lot of 5s for his article and and someone gives him 4. If it is not counted due to filtering he will still have round 5 but his article's popularity will not grow. Then when a lot of people give him 4s, his rating will drop but his popularity will jump up. I am no sure it is logical.

I'm calculating popularity off the filtered set of votes. I guess using the total number of votes in the Log10 part of the calc makes sense because even if someone is downvoting it's still popular. Popular for trolls...

I've just fixed this bug on development and will try and push out the change tonight.

You really like the new icons don't you, don't see the bug in your post the suggestion icon (light bulb ) might have been better

I'm being lazy. Green means "make sure it's in the queue".
Working on adding some other stuff that will help with tracking the bugs even easier.

Graying and red-ing both seem to be disabled right now.

For at least some of my articles only 5s are counted for ratings (so I am getting 5 out of 5, even though I also had some 4s). Also the article popularity dropped slightly e.g. from 9 to 8.89 (probably for the same reason that 4s are not counted).
Only 3 of my articles seem to be affected - those related to Silverlight/MEF/Prism.
Is it a bug or a feature?

IF you really want I could try univoting them so their average drops enough to factor the 4's into the scoring again...

I am ok with my ratings going up; I am only worried about the loss of popularity

Strange! It shows 2 5 votes to it and the bars too are present for 5 but the total rating says '0/5'. Surely a bug!

We're in the middle of a site update. Expect weirdness for a few minutes.

It's stupid and pointless, can you convince FF4 that there's nothing there to lose?

Highly voted Q&A answers seem to change text color to red, making inline code almost indistinguishable from the rest of the text. Should we change the color of one or the other to maintain the readability of answers?

IMO, that existing pale green background is better one.

I'm with you on that one!

Yes, this has been bugging me too. I meant to fix it this week. It slipped my mind.

On similar lines, visited links and 5-voted links have the same (or very similar) colors. So sometimes you see a thread and you can't tell if a certain post is a visited post or a 5-rated one. Any way to fix that?

Pick a new colour for high voted.
They used to be red because, back in the '90s, red was for hot threads. You really need to say that in a Barry Manilow voice.
So yeah - maybe a change of colour to reflect 2011. Pastel Blue? Two tone with a reflective bottom half?
