Done. The change will take a bit to propagate.

Trying to vote for this answer[^] reloads the page, and displays a validation error for the "new solution" box. The vote is not recorded.
There's also a problem with the display of the rating control, and the dreaded "f.tabs is not a function" error:

I'm really getting tired of being downvoted on my Q/A answers because the OP CHANGED HIS QUESTION after I posted my answer, rendering my answer in some way invalid.
Is there any convenient way to resolve this? I'm sick right now, so my mind ain't workin' at full capacity, otherwise, I'd offer at least one way this could be addressed.

You have been voted "smaller 5" in about 5 answers from total about 100 in this year. Where is the Problem?
Btw: Of course, I can understand the Frustration to get negative points while trying to help.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I'm not complaining about the points. I'm complaining about being downvoted *after* the OP changes the question, with that change rendering my solution invalid.

I think to understand you. The question is, was it really OP? I hope not!
Whenever I asked a question and somebody tried to help me I never voted below a 3, except it was obviously a spammy answer.

No, you don't.

He is not saying, the OP downvoted him. He is saying, someone voted him down... AFTER an edit of the question. This edit, made the previous posted answer look bad.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Adding insult to injury, my answer (after reviewing the new version of the question) is STILL valid.

Allowing a questioner to vote on a solution is problematic. Apart from the matter you raise some questioners are simply not qualified to rate an answer and sometimes hastily reject perfectly good solutions. I'd say just allowing the OP to accept one or more answers is all that is needed.

I have edited answer(s) in the past using something like:

This answer is for the initial question. The question has been modified meanwhile so that the answer might not apply anymore.

I saw that case. I was thinking that OP voted 1 (I voted 5, as it was a totally unperfect answer for a totally unperfect questin - perfect fit  )...

The only real solution here is to remove all answers to questions that are modified.
Or, in a perfect world, to have the community remove (not downvote) answers that no longer suit a question that's been modified.

Could it be possible to lock the first version of a question after, say 10 minutes?
The later versions would only be addendum to the original and would be shown separately.

Can't post a Q/A answer (says server is too busy).

Seems okay now. Nevermind.

It's a fairly regular issue on Sundays. I guess that's when the big houskeeping jobs are running.

I was deploying updates. Bad timing...

Should I notify you when I'm on the site so you can reschedule that kind of thing?

That would be great, John. I was actually thinking I should just give you my phone number so you can directly call me. Bugs, issues, minor requests, major architecture changes at 2AM to suit your whim. That sort of thing.
Would that work for you?

You'd do that, but balked at setting up a posthumous "What Would JSOP Do?" forum?

On the home page i am seeing same questions since last few days, it looks like it is not getting updated, is this a known bug ? and when it would be displaying the new question being posted?
|
|
|
|
|
@Chris Maunder any update on this ?
|
|
|
|
|
Are you following a specific set of tags? Are those tags such that only a very low volume of questions about those tags get asked?
Have you tried clicking the "All" category (just to the right of "Following")?
