I doubt. Looks like, there was a time difference of atleast 5 min.
OriginalGriff wrote: Why are you trying to delete it anyway - I see nothing rude or offensive, no spam. It's just a question (and a simple one. too)
Strange, aren't you able to view why so? It's a repost. Actually more than twice I think. Later, OP posted the same question with more details again.
Surely no spam, rude or offensive. Just a worthless duplicate question.

I have delete power, and I use it on dupe questions.

Same here!
EDIT: Do you have power to delete even if the question has some answers? I don't! I rechecked for 'Delete' icon in other questions. They are missing if question has atleast 1 answer (something similar was discussed few days back here itself.)

When you leave a comment in the popup when voting on an article it appears in the messages at the bottom.
However, when you do the same thing with a Tip/Trick, it appears as a comment.
I think the Tip/Trick should behave the same as the Articles and appear as messages, otherwise if the author/message author end up in a debate, the comment section will look awful.

The comment section is awful anyway. The new reply to comment is useful, but makes the comments rather cluttered and hard to read. The separate scrolling inside the comment div (as pointed out by another member previously) doesn't help either.
Having said that, I can't come up with a better design, so I suppose we should keep things in the messages as you say (mainly if the discussion is lengthy)

I apologize, that was harsher than necessary. Just a bit hard to use.
* scrolling within comments' div
* no HTML (needed for links mainly)
* cluttered threads
* reply link hard to click when intoxicated
* no notifications for parallel replies

Don't apologise.
- Scrolling should be gone.
- We did this to avoid making comments messy. I can add it back.
- Extra spacing? Clearer delimiters?
- Call this the safety catch
- Not sure what you mean.

Only if there are more requests, I can live without it. Decoration & smileys are not necessary, just bold, italic, hyperlink.
Chris Maunder wrote: - Extra spacing? Clearer delimiters?
No, this is impossible to fix, it would mean removing the reply to comment, making it flat (the last one is mainly for this)
Chris Maunder wrote: - Not sure what you mean.
Say A asks a question, B comments to A's question and C comments to A's question later on, then B should get a notification of C's comment. I suppose that would be too much of a strain on the servers, when there are lots of comments on the same level?

First I'd like to thank Chris for finally fixing the pin bug[^] from 18 months ago. However while the fix does remove the major UI glitch it still has a bit of unexpected behavior. Hopefully this can be fixed in a more reasonable amount of time.
0 Pin a message
1 Select a second message
2 Unpin the first message
Problem This action closes both the first (good) and second (bad) message.
3x12=36
2x12=24
1x12=12
0x12=18

I'm sure he'll get right on that.

When I recently looked at this article, I immediately started thinking of books I would like to add. I'm not sure if this is covered by the umbrella concept of "groups", but it seems like there are some articles that would naturally lend themselves to being wikis, or at least to being updated by members of some "group" (maybe group members are approved by the author?).
Like I said, I'm not sure if this or something similar is already implemented, but I think it could be useful.

|

If a group posts an article then anyone in the group with the status "author" or above can update articles owned by the group.

This post here[^] in GIT provides the link for downloading MP3 songs.
I think it violates copyright materials.
Anyone with higher power, care to take care or modify the post.
I am being ridiculed for suggesting that it would advoate piracy.
Please clarify.
Edit: OP has removed it.So no issues.
cheers,
Super

In the past I (and others) have suggested an option that members can select in their settings: Send me an email when any of my bookmarked articles gets updated.
Another possibility is: Send me an email when an article I have voted on gets updated.
This second option will be valuable when you vote on an article that has some bugs or other problems; when it's updated with corrections, you would like to be able to give it a higher vote.

Interesting. I'll add that to the notes on that item.

I don't remember deleting any of my messages. And I'm pretty sure I was asleep by 1AM (these actions were at 3:29AM).
EDIT: Resolved. See here.
