Funny. We had some conclusions after the experiment where SO gave us extra reviews.

100 reviews/day makes H&I the queue with the fewest reviews/day. On the other hand, Triage has the most.
 
S.L. Barth

Yes, but most of the "reviews" in H&I suck.
 
hichris123
hichris123
I don't think I've even touched that queue...
 
S.L. Barth
S.L. Barth
These "reviewers" make the smallest of edits, give zero guidance.
Initially, you had to make a substantial edit and put a comment in. At some point, SO decided that any edit was good enough to count as a review.
The only thing "H&I" helps now, is that it helps unscrupulous users to get their badges :-(
 
hichris123
hichris123
4:32 PM
Yeah... someone just completed a review with an edit while commenting that more info was needed... :/
 
S.L. Barth

Even that is better than what most of these "reviewers" do.... at least they commented...
But if I were a mod, I'd be handing out suspensions left, right and center!

Christian GollhardtOne year ago, we had a discussion about improvements in the Help & Improve Queue. One interesting Suggestion was by @davidism: What's feeding this queue needs to be improved, and this queue needs a feedback button: No, this doesn't need improvement, it's just bad On March 15, an employ...

Has anyone made a feature-request to emphasize the VLQ button?
 
S.L. Barth
S.L. Barth
I was just looking at that MSO post too.
@hichris123 Not that I know... but I think Triage needs to have their buttons renamed.
"Destroy", "Can only be improved by OP", "Can be improved by others".
 
hichris123
hichris123
Or in some way emphasize that "Needs Editing" is not for questions that need more info.
 
S.L. Barth

Yes, just giving that button a better label could help a lot already.

Q: Why is there a peeking duck in my profile pic?

Mark GarciaIn my SO profile, you may see something odd: a peeking duck. I've just recently uploaded this new profile picture of mine. I checked it after the upload and everything's fine. After a few hours, I opened my profile and there it is, the duck has somehow become afraid of the people viewing it. ...

Unlike what Geoff said, it was never fixed.
Already downvoted his answer, commented, flagged the question to remove the false tag, but got only 100% ignorance. Oh well.

Yes, you don't often increment the breaking number in a web app.
Like maybe once every 10 years or something/
All the more easy on @Meta, who will only need to keep track of 2 numbers.
Is it a bug fix or a feature addition?
 
user315433
Don't make me think.

There's probably a semver jQuery npm angular plugin.

256x256?
@Bart so that means that to have a nice looking image on all devices, you need to upload a 256x256 image. — Wouter J Feb 28 '13 at 21:44
 
bjb568
bjb568
Preferably shaped like a kitten.
@AaronHall That's just a minimum.
 
user315433
That's outdated, 128 at 2x resolution. New profile pages have 164 by 164 images.
 
user315433
So if you want 2x, it needs to be 328 by 328.
 
Aaron Hall
Aaron Hall
11:25 PM
I just want it evenly divisible by each dimension we use.
 
user315433
And going above 328 does not help, because profile page will request https://i.stack.imgur.com/filename.png?s=328
 
bjb568

@AaronHall Doesn't matter.
@Meta The resolution could be increased later.
And I very frequently will open the image in a new tab and remove "?s=328" if the image is interesting.

so what dimensions do we use?
 
bjb568

You're overthinking things. Just upload the image.
