FF Quantum 64.0 (32bit) on Win7. Also occurs on Chrome 70.0.3538.110 (Official Build) (32-bit)
I'll try on my Ubuntu box when I get out of bed, and edit this with the results.
[edit] Ubuntu 16.4LTS. ChromIUM 71.0.3578.80 (official build, 64 bit) and FF 64.0(64b) both show the same issue. [/edit]

Cheers,
Peter

This was reported once before and after that report we added about 3 layers of checks to ensure it could not happen again. It's frustrating to hear this happened again, especially when the code is so locked down now.

One quick question: You say you "signed out". Did you close the browser and reopen, or click the "sign out' link?

Please describe the problem. 'Broken' doesn't help me diagnose the issue, especially since I don't have a Mac where I am right now.

Looks like it is a bit Schrodingers: approved and not approved at the same time:

I can vote on it, but not approve / reject / report, but I have the rest of the approval moderation box.
I'm logged in, and neither F5 nor CTRL+F5 refresh clear it up.

minor incongruity / incosistency

This one: The big testing guideline[^]?

Looks like it's approved. Not sure what happened there but I see an error in the logs regarding the pending version so I'll dig in and see what happened.

Thanks mate.

When editing messages... (e.g. "gone" or "still alive" in S&A)

if I edit the subject of the first message of a thread and I hit "Enter" being in the subject then the edition is posted.

if I edit subject a message within the thread and hit "Enter" being in the subject, nothing happens. To post I have to click or get the focus to "post message" using tab.

QA not displaying "newest" questions

OriginalGriff11-Dec-18 0:20

11-Dec-18 0:20

If I go to QA, the "newest" question is about 8 hours old:

But ... the homepage shows much newer stuff:

The top homepage post is 5 minutes old:

And the oldest around 40 minutes.

Normally, it's the other way round, the homepage lags QA, and never by 8 hours!

Could it be the same as I reported in the thread below? Just a thought.

Yes - that was it: it invented a filter set for me and applied it.

Chris, I've never set a QA filter - I'd be too tempted to set "no idiots" - so the "positive" filter selection was added for me.

QA filter oddity

Peter_in_27807-Dec-18 12:19

7-Dec-18 12:19

I am regularly logged in on two computers. On this one (Ubuntu 16.04LTS, FF 63.0.3 if it matters) the QA filter boxes are randomly (afaict) populated from time to time. I was about to report current QA items disappearing, but they were just being filtered... I do not recall ever setting QA filters. This has occured 2 or 3 times in the last few days.

Cheers,
Peter

ps Not urgent, looks like there are more important things to look at right now.

Do you click on the category selectors on the homepage by chance?

(I'm assuming not, but want to rule it out)

Just got another one [edit] within the last 3 or 4 hours. It was good earlier. [/edit]

I'll leave it in case you want to delve into a database.
Checked on t'other computer I use, shows up the same.
