@Mithical what if the opposite is true and you've made my life easier by taking some stuff off my plate? :P

Journeyman Geek

:D

Ask them to make amends for being too damned awesome

@M.A.R. yeah, it's like rubbing salt on wounds: it won't cause a new wound, but it hurts more.

@ArtOfCode I'd say something like "aw shucks" and blush, because I never learned how to take compliments. Just a theoretical situation though...

@Rob but you don't have a unicorn, so that's a minus.

@Rob that's a Uniking. Impressive, but put it on your desk in SE office and you'll just get weird looks.

Rob

Just tell people that the duck brought it.

Nah, you can bribe them.

Anyone aware of JEE-Advanced (India)?

Mithical

Heard something about it

Weren't people trying to postpone it due to the pandemic and flooding?

Ollie

Look at this.

Ollie

2:31 PM

@Rob No, I meant on the profile page, like:

The last time I earned a bounty it showed up in the regular green.

I just thought it was 5 upvotes.

At least I think it did...

Has it ever shown up in blue for you?

Queenie Goldstein

@Mithical That was JEE mains...no one heard us tho :)

And today was JEE adv...and the second paper was "Harry potter and the Deathly hallows......"

Ollie, I think only the award post gets the blue +50 beside the post

DavidPostill

@Ollie I wonder why they waited a whole year ...

Ollie

This, @DavidPostill?

DavidPostill

Yes

Ollie

I don't know, but I've read the current and deleted posts from Sara and Fullerton

and....

Meh.

Anyway, I was thinking maybe it could look like this:

It'd be more distinguished, and stop me thinking someone just upvoted me a lot and that the system would reverse the serial-upvoting ;)

Queenie Goldstein

2:47 PM

Uhm, I think you should not have thought about serial upvote? because it is just on one question...and one vote- one value

And how did you set the bg color...I cant put anything inside <span>

I see, it's all class

Ollie

Yep.

Queenie Goldstein

On a scale of 100, how genuine does this look

Ollie

If I didn't know you'd fiddled with it, I would say 101 ;)

Really.

Queenie Goldstein

hehe :P xD

Ollie

Well, I posted a feature-request for it @QueenieGoldstein.

A: Make bounty award color blue in summary tab

I agree. Blue would be more meaningful than green. It will make the UI more consistent, because it appears blue in the full reputation tab of the profile and green in the recent rep summary at present. This has been reported by others in the past as well. Please make it blue!

1050 as bounty.... OooooO

The duplicate is a duplicate of this

@Ollie Can you check your primary rep tab? Someone said : this , here

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

3:45 PM

@QueenieGoldstein O_ם

Queenie Goldstein

They say home is where the heart is

@ShadowWizardWearingMask I have seen 13.5k on SO

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

Yeah, that's insane.

Nordine Lotfi

@ShadowWizardWearingMask quarter wink? :D

Queenie Goldstein

aaah sorry, it was 13.5k upvote i guess

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein still amazing!

Queenie Goldstein

3:57 PM

the highest bountied is 4500 on scifi

Nordine Lotfi

wow

Queenie Goldstein

yeaah I know, people struggle to get 2 upvotes xD

Nordine Lotfi

I do :P

but then again, I'm not doing this for the upvotes

I usually just ask questions for reaching a goal, same when answering

Queenie Goldstein

I know, I had done the same on quora...but now that site is full of non technical answers which get millions of upvotes

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein yeah, noticed that too

honestly never thought of doing stuff on quora, feel way more generic than SE/SO imo (still useful though)

Queenie Goldstein

4:00 PM

Stack exchange is 100x cleaner and well moderated

Nordine Lotfi

yep

Queenie Goldstein

the last time i answered on quora was June 2018

lol

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein wow

Queenie Goldstein

@ShadowWizardWearingMask See this , and this

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein those upvotes though O-o

on the question itself, this is an insane amount

Queenie Goldstein

4:08 PM

@NordineLotfi did you see the bookmarks xD

Nordine Lotfi

@QueenieGoldstein I did! never saw that much before

the most i seen is under 20 or 100

Queenie Goldstein

OPEN challenge to anyone (reward 100 rep)

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/927358/how-do-i-undo-the-most-recent-local-commits-in-git

ask a question with the same or less number of characters in the body and get atleast 10 upvotes... xD

Nordine Lotfi

since we're talking about git: I still find it a bit slow on how you remove a commit (since you have to create a branch, move the commit you want to remove there, and then rebase it...)

I might know a hack where i just edit whatever is in .git but that's too hacky to use all the time hmm

Queenie Goldstein

I have low experience, maybe i should git.experience

Rob

4:40 PM

@Ollie No, but I haven't been awarded a bounty for over a year.

@Ollie So, that's a negative bounty; and a peculiar amount?

Queenie Goldstein

6:08 PM

How bad does 479 downvote (all on questions) and 1 upvote by a user sound?

Even worse--->20,104 question downvotes and only 301 answer downvote....(total 2 upvotes...xD)

Does anyone know a SEDE query to sort by helpful flags?

Nordine Lotfi

6:26 PM

maybe @rene knows? they're the SEDE magician around here i believe

cc @QueenieGoldstein

Ollie

@QueenieGoldstein My primary rep tab? Why?

1050 rep in bounties, wow...

That eclipses even Shog9's thank-you post answer ;)

Queenie Goldstein

6:48 PM

I know, the last i asked for a sede query, rene helped me out :)

sent you 2 photos regarding that...they say bounty reputation when accepted is red in color?

rene

@QueenieGoldstein flags are not stored in SEDE, not even the per user aggregate.

Queenie Goldstein

Ohh that's bad

has anyone scrapped SE yet?

rene

only pendingflags exist but that table doesn't have a userid

Queenie Goldstein

ohh i see

rene

@QueenieGoldstein I hear Google did that ...

Queenie Goldstein

6:51 PM

@rene I'll ask google to run a sql query and select top 100 from helpful flags, descending order

😂😂

rene

:D

Queenie Goldstein

maybe there's a way?.... that'd be fun

Rob

@Ollie His outshines your eclipse, at 1971 upvotes ➕ 1000 bounty.

I'm a little curious: should suspended users be required to view ads when browsing the site?

The point of setting a user's rep to 1 is so they can't do anything on the site as they won't have the required reputation.

But as the help page says, there's no point in keeping the ads visible if users aren't going to click on them. It implies that SE is paid per click rather than per view.

Ollie

Also, is there a reason why the reduced ad privilege page doesn't exist on non-technology-related sites?

Per Sonic, the actual privilege exists.

on those sites.

rene

@SonictheMaskedWerehog srsly?

A: Does the reduced advertising privilege exist on non-trilogy sites that carry ads?

The privilege exists everywhere. But on most sites, it's hidden and notifications for earning it are suppressed. Doesn't make much sense to tell folks about a privilege that doesn't actually do anything. Just because we're willing to sell ads on a site doesn't mean you'll ever see them... And no...

Ollie

8:59 PM

But still, if it's a privilege, shouldn't the page be in the Help Center list?

Ollie

9:22 PM

Why is it, that when I duplicate a tab, then go to, say, the Bountied questions tab, the other page also goes there if I reload it?

Rob

11:40 PM

@Ollie Because you chose a tab. There's one URL (there, and many other pages work the same way) and a few tabs, when you chose a tab that's the tab you are on; and any other webpage open for that URL by you is also on the same tab. --- It's very roughly similar to saying that you opened your profile on two tabs (tabs, in your browser) and gained or lost rep, when you refresh the other tab in your browser it duplicates the first. --- Other places (I think list of questions?) it's broken.
