Huh. I feel really dumb for asking this, but is Stack Overflow the only site with an "Interesting Questions" tab?
Has that been asked on Meta before?
All other sites appear to have an active tab instead
 
@Chris Yes, because only Stack Overflow has enough traffic that selecting front page items based on activity was causing problems for question visibility.
 
@TimStone Ah, okay, that's what I thought
Strange that I never really noticed it before, though

Me neither. I knew that I saw all the posts on newer sites, but I thought that was just the result of running the "interesting" filter on a small number of posts. Heh.
 
@TimStone Does this deserve a Meta question of its own?
 
Uhh I think there's a reference somewhere...Need to brb a moment, but I'll look after that.

@Chris In this particular case the blog might be the best resource, specifically "On Stack Overflow (and only Stack Overflow) the default home page tab has changed from active to interesting."
 
@TimStone Thanks
Meta may be a good place to get answers, but the ability to actually find those answers often leaves a bit to be desired
 
Luckily I usually remember most of what I'm looking for, heh :P

Q: Where did OP background color go?

Yi JiangIt seems like the background color on the name of the original poster is gone from the site and Meta. Normally the OP's name card on posts and comments are shaded to differentiate them. This appears to be gone. The CSS rule .owner { background: #F6F6F6; } should be corrected to .owner {...

@Jin Can you look into this?

Q: Is the TAB character bad in source code?

PHP BreeI'm pretty familiar I guess with both Zend and PEAR PHP coding standards, and from my previous two employers no TAB characters were allowed in the code base, claiming it might be misinterpreted by the build script or something (something like that, I honestly can't remember the exact reason). We ...

So, why in the world are people calling for the reopening of this question?

Q: Why do some languages recommend using spaces rather than tabs?

TK KocheranMaybe I'm alone in this, but few things annoy me like people indenting using spaces rather than tabs. How is typing SpaceSpaceSpaceSpace easier and more intuitive than typing Tab? Sure, tab width is variable, but it's much more indicative of indentation space than spaces. The same thing goes for ...

It's not an entirely invalid question, but I think OT for SO. *VtCs*

Don’t you think we should have a sandbox-type SE site to test the tools instead of doing experiments on MSO or, worse, on actual content sites? Support the Sandbox proposal on Area51

Can someone running Chrome stable glance at the global reputation graph and see if it's rendering properly? It's messed up in Chrome beta (site names rendered atop each other), but fine in Firefox. I'd like to know if it's a Chrome or SE issue.

@JeremyBanksʬʬʬ Chrome sucks.
 
9:40 PM
@JeremyBanksʬʬʬ Ew, that issue made it into beta? It's been in dev for a while, but it's not a problem in stable.
