How about stackoverflow.com/review/triage/6380656? ... how about the sea of "Unsalvageable" in your review history (with only a sprinkling of "needs improvement")?

when he reviewed it, it was

@Doorknob冰 halp question. 4 things for us to do, no specific q

Doorknob 冰

@Braiam The first revision looks fine.

bjb568

No...

Doorknob 冰

10:03 PM

@bjb568 ... wait, so if I'm understand you correctly, if you want help, don't ask a question. Got it.

Also, that's not 4 things for you to do. That's the 4 things he's trying to do, and he's already shown his attempt.

Undo

@Doorknob冰 that's what SO has trained me to do

bjb568

@Doorknob冰 Then what do we do? Unclear

@Doorknob冰 No, research and debug so you can figure it out, else have info for a good q

Braiam

@Doorknob冰 what the heck is the last revision?

user259867

@hichris123 Not for me. Chrome 39.

Doorknob 冰

@bjb568 ... well, I'm assuming he doesn't want you to break his code, correct? So the only logical conclusion is that he wants you to fix it...

@Braiam No idea O_o

@bjb568 He has a small set of code, he has an error, and he wants the error gone.

@bjb568 Then it's not unsalvageable.

Anyway, I'm dropping this. I've got better things to do

Meh, I give up. I have piano practice to do

Same

user259867

10:08 PM

Yes, the two top lines are just for you as the reviewer. I see "Review completed 12 mins ago" So I suppose the animation goes with "please remember to upvote".

hichris123

Yay, better gif.

Feature Request: Instead of 3 discrete options ("looks ok", "needs improvement", "unsalvagable") how about an analog slider? :D:D:D — Mysticial 20 mins ago

user259867

^ great idea

user259867

10:12 PM

Or a knob.

Undo

Sure you don't want a digital slider?

That's a lot of sliders they'll have to ship out

hichris123

A: Help us test question triage!

Whenever I have reviewed, and the consensus is "Looks Ok", I get a weird bouncing animation on the voting dialog (sorry for the bad quality): This is quite annoying (it's like <marquee> and <blink>!). Can it be removed?

user259867

@hichris123 Did you notice anything funny with Inspector?

hichris123

nope.

user259867

Not as annoying as that animated gif. I spent like 10 minutes tweaking the bounce rate there; you couldn't even bother to keep it in frame for the whole animation? — Shog9 ♦ 18 secs ago

So... by design.

@Shog9 Trust me, it was a hard capture process. I had to use some Microsoft software thingy, then transcode it to a WMV. I then uploaded it to some website which converts WMV's to a gif. It probably lost a good amount of quality along the way. — hichris123 22 secs ago

patents.stackexchange.com/posts/10724/revisions - roll back to revision 2?

user259867

@nicael Why, if it's the author taking back their words?

user259867

10:33 PM

Maybe the answer now becomes an NAA. But I would not rollback.

nicael

@Warm this makes the answer empty... not an answer

It was better

user259867

Yes, but if the OP no longer stands behind their answer, rolling back would be putting words in their mouth.

hichris123

evil twin?

user259867

Creates a tag with no description and no obvious purpose + nobody uses it in the next few days => remove the tag.

@bjb568 Did you get approved?

user259867

10:52 PM

Next, make the downvote arrow flash in red when a user votes to close other than a dupe or "another site".

user259867

SE needs moar animations.

Braiam

so, yeah, don't talk with Black Hat

user259867

In this case I would go with "talk to"

Braiam

> talk with implies conversation, discussion, and discursiveness

@WarmFuzzies do not converse, discuss or be discursive with Black Hat

user259867

"don't talk to him" is far more common than "don't talk with him". See: Google search.

user259867

11:03 PM

Also, the comic itself uses "talk to" form.

bjb568

@WarmFuzzies yes

@hichris123 What?

hichris123

@bjb568 The hackathon?

Braiam

Cueball is just asserting, exclaiming, I'm being imperative "don't talk with him"

user259867

Okay. Prepositions aside, who is the black hat here?

> miscounted frames, got the length of the animation wrong. Either there are a LOT of dropped frames here, or hichris has a really slow PC.

didn't you get a new system @hichris123?

It's not a super slow PC, it's a gaming laptop from a few years back.

Q: Could "1d ago" be replaced with "yesterday"?

In the new "Profile" tab, "1d ago" is used instead of "yesterday". Could it plz be replaced with "yesterday"? As for my eyes, it is more pleasant to see "yesterday".

Mmm?
