@TimStone I just logged into Facebook to check that, the setting is confusing the hell out of me

Heh :P

There's a privacy setting beside each email which allows you to set who can see the email. That's simple. Then beside that there's a button that lets you choose whether or not to show it on your profile. Huh?

I mean, if I let it show on my profile, does that mean that my friends can see it? Or everybody? Or just myself?

No, it's more of "Who can see it? (if it's visible)" I think.

Then, uh, what's the point of the second button? I don't get this at all

They're either displayed on your profile or not, and if they are, only to the people you select.

So the change involved them hiding your previous email, and applying your privacy settings to your @facebook email, which they set to "show"

*facepalm*

Presumably because you may randomly decide to show and hide various emails, without wanting the inconvenience of having to remember your privacy settings when toggling between the current setting and only yourself...or something. :P

UX!

Q: Is SEO a sysadmin or developer issue?

I just saw the question on Server Fault titled "How to make site have a Good Ranking in BING". It had been migrated from Stack Overflow, which means that 5 high rep users thought that it belonged on Server Fault. However, I disagree .. I think that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a more DEV...

This question's answers are all outdated

And the new answer is just dumb

Is it alright to include contact information in one's Careers 2 profile? Like Skype name in the Personal statement section?

Hi everyone, are there any moderators around?

11:57 AM

@JamieDixon Yep

SO mods, or any site mod?

I moderate chem.SE (and by extension, chat.SE)

More mods here:

You know those boring town council meetings you never attend? ...

@JamieDixon what's up?

Hello people. I'm new here. Just got myself some SO stickers. And i got the Unicorn bill .. what's up with that? XD

The unicorn bill? They charged you for all the unicorns?

I paid 1 dollar, and I got back 1million. That's a good deal lol

@AnnaLear I posted a question on CodeReview about a technical test I'd done and have since been hired by the people who provided the test. They've asked me to remove the question from CodeReview and I'm unsure what to do next. I can't delete it myself because it has answers. How should I go about this?

Uh oh, @PopularDemand better be careful...I've almost overtaken him as top bug reporter. And now, coffee.

@JamieDixon Normally you'd flag the question for moderator attention and ask the moderators to take it down. But I can just take a look at things for you. Link to the question?

@AnnaLear Thank you. I have flagged the question but that was about 4-5 hours ago i think. codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/12384/…

@JamieDixon I removed it. It'll still be visible to moderators and users with over 10,000 rep (not sure if Code Review has any, but even so), but it won't be indexed by Google anymore.

1:57 PM

Thanks @AnnaLear. Very helpful. :-)

Any time.

I don't understand why Lightning does the most useless thing of staying on whatever week I last viewed.

I only care about events in the current week when I open that tab in Thunderbird.

2:32 PM

That does sound inconvenient.

Yeah. Last week I opened it up and went "Great, no meetings!", only to find out it was two weeks in the past and I had something ten minutes later.

Use Visual Studio. Notepad doesn't have intellisense. — Chris Gessler 2 mins ago

^ That guy, haha

@TimStone Yikes. Yeah, for a calendar app, that is a mis-feature.

To be fair, it does have a list of events within a certain time period (i.e. this week) above the calendar, but I like the pretty boxes and totally ignore that queue of text.

I've never used Lightning, so I don't know whether I should insult you now.

Although I usually try to err on the side of insulting when I can.

The answer to that question is always no, so you've got an easy decision.

2:41 PM

Hm. That doesn't sound right for some reason.

Tiny text entry versus big table with colours. :P

(also, ignore the fact that I accidentally scrolled down to 12 am, not entirely sure how that happened)

...alright. You have evaded my scathing insults this time.

Ugh. My driver's license is expired. I should really start paying attention to stuff.

Minor details

Now, my debit card is almost expired.. that's srs bsns.

Ack, mine is too! Jinkies.

3:00 PM

You're all sorts of expired!

I knowz.

@lix picked up an ices beforehand. Wore my WWDC jacket as well.

Hooray, I won a free $1,000 Best Buy gift card through a promotion I never entered!
And they were kind enough to notify me via an unsolicited text message? How convenient!

I should definitely click on this link to bestbuy.com.biz.info, because I don't understand how URLs work, so it looks really official.

I'm confused about this tag wiki revision history.

There was a suggested edit to it, which was approved. But When you go to the tag wiki page, it's the stock "There is no tag wiki yet" text.

Anonymous

Quite weird.

6:14 PM

@JeremyBanks Huh. This answer by waffles explains that that's by design, I guess.

But that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

6:52 PM

@jadarnel27 Yeah, here's the rejected excerpt

The point is basically that the wiki needs an excerpt, but since the suggestion was rejected it hides the approved body to entice someone to come along and provide one...with the added benefit that someone's already done the hard work of the tag wiki for them, I guess.

@TimStone That makes some sense. But I still don't really see why the wiki needs an excerpt. You should be able to have one without the other, no?

Arguably the excerpt is more important because it's (now, again) the part shown elsewhere on the site, right?
