A local brightness correction and an unsharp filter should make it more readable. This is not a suggestion to salvage the question. This is a challenge for bored photoshop wannabe-mages.

We could point the OP to photoshop.se?

Is there photoshop.se?

I dunno

Jan Dvorak

How about photo.se?

It is actually more about the way your brain learns to see and does not actually reference a dress or harm small animals.

@HansPassant I see that you are an optimist, but I'm a reallist. That that you describe only happens in the 1% of the cases, which aren't worth the problems the rest 99% of the cases cause. — Braiam 12 secs ago

Q: How come the first result for "stac" on Google is Stacey Dooley

How come the first result for "stac" on Google is Stacey Dooley?? Who is she?? Seriously though, is this due to Google's algorithms and some deep psychological problem within me? Or dare I suggest it is more a case of Google quashing the free-thought network that is the Stack Exchange suite? ...

Google tailors the search to you as a user. My first result for stac was stacked, and second was stackoverflow. Perhaps you should take this time to reflect on what you as a user do with your google searches. — Travis J 2 mins ago

ProgramFOX

Are you sure?
This might have happened:
1) You go to the post.
2) The post gets deleted.
3) You click the "flag" link (without refreshing).
4) Because you actually flag a deleted post, the flag dialog only shows the "other" flag.

Jan Dvorak

For me it found some french bus lines I've never heard of

Frank

5:30 PM

@ProgramFOX well I know, because I failed the first time to see a spam option, I reloaded, same, I did that again, same, then the next time I reloaded it was gone.

ProgramFOX

For me the first result was a caravan selling site.

Frank

caching?

Jan Dvorak

The first result that might have been somewhat tailored was an air conditioning unit on a web-shop in my country

result #9

ProgramFOX

@Frank probably. I don't see another reason that it didn't show up

Jan Dvorak

#10 is a mountain in Scotland

Frank

5:32 PM

First result here is www.stac.edu

and all the others on the first part of the page are about that college

Jan Dvorak

That was ~ #7 for me, one link

@Frank - When I search stac I get that, but it isn't in the suggestions dropdown.

Frank

then theres Rhode Island government stuff (stac.ri.gov)

Jan Dvorak

@TravisJ Lol, the only things in the suggestion dropdown for me are http://[se site]/users/current

I wonder why.

From several of the sites

Travis J

5:35 PM

Did you navigate to the search tab in google or use the url location to search?

If I use the url all I get is SO related stuff as well

All I have to type is s to end up here :)

Frank

@TravisJ url

Jan Dvorak

for just S the third suggestion is the sh.st homepage

Travis J

@Frank google.com/webhp?

Frank

@TravisJ When I type stac in the search part, it redirects the text into the url place and drops down suggestions from there.

Travis J

The plague of Stacy

user259867

5:39 PM

@Frank ProgramFOX is right. The reason is that the page with the question is cached (including on server side); reloading it may still show you the cached version, prior to deletion. On the other hand, the flag dialog hits the database real-time (this is why SE throttles it, allowing only one dialog load per 3 seconds). So the flag dialog knows that the post is deleted even though the page does not show this. On a deleted post, the only flag is "other".

Jan Dvorak

For me it's "stacionární" / "stachema" / "stack overflow" / "stacionář"

Travis J

It's always caching
