They said some very complementary things about our work, they saw very clearly how hard my partner and I worked to make our software work really well. They said it was "beyond user-friendly, it was joyous to use", which was really nice.
Since the release of comment upvotes and flagging. Just wondering if you get rep for upvoted comments?
Also wondering if upvoted comments have any effect on the comment sorting? And can you see your comment upvote number somewhere?
Edit - See the Stack Overflow blog post about comments.
I've done quite a bit of searching but don't see anything regarding it.
I am unable to place a bounty on my own, or anyone else's question here on meta.
I see the featured tab is still available, with featured (bounty) questions, so it doesn't look like bounty has been turned off here altogether.
> Upvoting comments does not change the sort order of comments. But when there are lots of answers, or lots of comments, then comments without any upvote (or comments with less upvotes) might be hidden, until one clicks a link "show x more comments":
According to @balpha, he SE chat sites may have individual Easter eggs, depending on the site. If you find them, please post.
Edit:
Because it's so easy to make this stuff up, a screenshot as proof would be nice. (Although Photoshop ain't that hard either...)
The point is not saving of bandwidth but saving of your brain.
There is no reason to show more than 5 comments; if you feel a comment deep in the comment list should be shown, then vote it up, and it will be shown.
It's the same theory as the rest of SO: the best content goes to the top, so yo...
> EDIT: I increased the threshold to 15 visible comments for meta.
At some point there's deminishing returns. There's only so much pressure a fan like that can generate, and once you reach it, adding another isn't going to change anything...
Well, at the end of the day you can spin one fan fast and generate a given airflow, or a bunch of fans slow and get the same airflow, and in general the noise will be lower with more fans, given a certain airflow.
Huh. Interestingly, it says the bounty has ended, but I still have +550 tags on each answer as though I could give the bounty. It won't let me, though, as it's closed.
Short answer: this is by design and unlikely to change. These aren't discussion sites, and the goal of displaying any comments initially is to highlight important information added by a third-party, not provide a lead-in to some tangential discussion.
Details: Comments are - at best - second-cla...
^^^ debating whether to explicitly rip on PHPBB/linear forums or just leave that implicit in "most readers only care about the end result of such discussions"

The question was deleted with the bounty in effect. I was already given the bounty back. But something seems to have become stuck in the DB, thinking that there was still a bounty I needed to have awarded.
There's some sentiment out there that tools like mod_security don't actually increase security at all. Sure, they do "block" common vectors, so they are not useless. But the thing is, the only way to secure code is to make the code secure. Everything else is just a band-aid. That's not to say...
