I need to add simply (and hopefully temporary) logging to my application. What call do I need to get a path to the user's profile on all flavours of Windows (XP, Vista and 7)? I know there is one but my Google Fu is letting me down.
@ChrisF Oh, whoops. I just checked and that was only added in .NET 4. Hrm, I guess the best you can do is MyDocuments then, and then trim off (My )?Documents..
We are running a global recalc right now across all Stack Exchange sites in preparation for showing leagues on the /users page, you can see more details (and suggest things!) in this question: Redesigning the /users page
Note no reputation rules have changed, we're just doing a recalc to get you...
I completely don't understand "in preparation for showing leagues on the /users page". The current users page is greatly affected by rep recalcs, since they change your total rep, but recalcs disproportionately affect old posts -- weekly leagues are likely to be unaffected
If the big red "your question is subjective" bar doesn't stop them, and the whole separate "your question blows" page doesn't stop them, no amount of flashing lights will help
The only solution is to have an overlay that asks "Which one of these questions is a duplicate of what you're asking?" and then crashes their browser when they select something.
Given that the latest global reputation recalculation generated the usual spate of "Where's my reputation gone?" questions is it time to revisit the idea of performing periodic recalculations so people get used to the idea of reputation going down as well as up?
If we limit it to the occasions w...
Does anyone know why recalcs are even needed? It doesn't seem particularly detrimental to performance to remove rep as posts are deleted, particularly since deletion isn't nearly as common as other things
You know, people should just get used to the fact that rep, like money has inflation and deflation. Get over it, it's just rep! Even if rep is worth anything at all IRL, ever lost a few K from a recalc? No! So stop whining!
@MichaelMrozek No idea. I'm sure there were reasons given when these things were previously suggested, but I can't remember any of them - apart from the vague "it would be a hit on the database"
@Moshe I'm pretty sure no part of that made sense except "stop whining". Rep inflation has nothing to do with this, rep is worth something when it comes to privileges, and people have lost a few K from a recalc
I'm just looking for a way to get this implemented so we don't get the slew of "where did my rep go?" questions on MSO every time there's a recalc (global or otherwise). If it happened more often people would get used to it.
@Moshe People don't read - see any number of duplicate/subjective questions that get posted and people answering their own question like it was a forum.
My rep on SO just changed from 14,546 to 14,558.
Checking my recent activity, I saw that I'd received one upvote which only accounts for 10 of the 12 points.
Obviously someone has rescinded a downvote on one of my posts - but which one?
While it's trivial in this case, it's more serious if you...
I just lost some reputation, presumably because someone changed their selected answer from mine to someone else's. Can these losses of reputation be noted on my reputation page similar to the other ways in which my reputation fluctuates? I'd like to figure out which answer was unaccepted so I can...
@ChrisF Oh, btw, I assume you tried refreshing your careers profile and such to get that section back? I didn't have any problems with it on my profile, but I did try to break it to help. (;
Something like that was what I expected to see. Perhaps because I have checked them in the past I don't get this - a one time only "set something" flag?

@badp Please take a look. Thanks. It's gonna flicker every time you load a page, that;s a consequence of the hosting setup. Feel free to open issue reports on GitHub. Thank you.
I was awarded the Mortarboard badge for my SO account today, but I've only received 95 rep for the whole month. Why did I get it?
Which StackExchange site has the longest name? What is it?
