Why does the envelope-page show different content from just clicking on it to picking Today afterwards? Does showing the page with no date range just pick "whatever has happened since your last viewing of this page"?
@LasseVKarlsen I think that it shows you things from the last viewing of the page, provided that your last viewing of the default activity page was over five minutes ago...or something.
I'm reviving this thread because I'm surprised there's no badge offered for this. Looking for duplicates requires more effort than other types of close vote and we're always saying that badges should be encouraging positive behaviour on the sites.

the tricky thing is making this some sort of fun game ...
the idea is that anonymous joe blow will find a page from google, and go ... oops its wrong, without logging in he will submit an improvement and then we will have some sort of game to deal with the stuff ...
that involves a bonus of sorts for dealing with the backlog and a bonus for submitting the change

Posted an answer 6 months after an accepted one, resulting in the question owner switching to yours.
Encourages posting better solutions when you come across old accepted answers. Adjust time-scale to suit.
The hard part is getting the OP to accept the new answer.
the big difference here is, I would like us to harness anonymous contributions ... and have the incentives built in to the rep system ... its a major change, which goes beyond badges
perhaps a recurring ... N accepted answers posted N days after a question first appears ... @Yi the trouble is that consensus can change over the years
@YiJiang: It's more to do with the fact that as time passes by, information can become incorrect. When coming across an old solution that is out of date because there's a better method, it's important to fix that information ASAP because that old post might have a lot of links to it.
I have just recently started to study Ruby, and in lieu of Jeff's advice over the weekend...
Stop theorizing.
Write lots of software.
Learn from your mistakes.

How do I rewrite URL's in ASP.NET?
I would like users to be able to goto http://www.website.com/users/smith instead of http://www.website.com/?user=smith
@AndyEshead Okay, I might have phrased it wrong, it should be "consensus normally found within a day or so" I'm not implying that the consensus must be found within that time
@AndyEshead But I think if that were the purpose it would fall on the OP, not just the answerer to do the changing
Microsoft now ships an official URL Rewriting Module for IIS: http://www.iis.net/download/urlrewrite
It supports most types of rewriting including setting server variables and wildcards.
It also will exist on all Azure web instances out of the box.
Because this is the third time this has happened, I think I should post a question about it. Look at the screenshot above (click on it for the full size version).
Basically, O_o.

depends on the context! if i'm sitting down at the computer now i'd say g'morning as that's my timezone, but if i'd been here and someone from europe joins (and i know that's where they are) i'd say g'afternoon <europe user>*

@Fosco Do you seriously intend to play with XMPP at any point in the future? Only reason I ask is because I lowered client security for you, and if you don't really want to mess around I was going to raise it back up
@radp All I did was force connections to be encrypted so any of my users who don't know how to configure their clients can not connect unless the connections are encrypted. We use Jabber for sending secure info like passwords
@TheUnhandledException the link you gave me to create an account over the web didn't work, gives me the login for the admin console. can you create an acct for me to connect with? fosco/fosco ?
Some publishing house offered a new car to the first person who mailed a certain PO Box and printed it in one of those front pages with the copyright/ISBN/LoC info; took about 20 years for someone to redeem it.
Now I remember why I paid for dedicated servers...
I have 2 separate web hosts now instead. One has PHP 4.4.9 which is useless, and the other has the newest version with no extensions and no ability to load extensions.
I found TwitWipe, though I have no direct experience with it.
For what it's worth, I found the same question was asked over at (yet another) Stack Exchange site, Web Applications.
