Apparently sysadmins now communicate with Twitter.

Presumably Nick checked in chat first, but if Greg is not there, Twitter is option B.

We are taking Stack Overflow down for a SQL Server failover in just a moment - we'll be back up ASAP.

All sites are back online. No further user outages are planned.

They arrived when a member of BackyardChickens, an online forum, ordered the birds in the mail this past May. "I actually get my chicks in today hopefully, and I am worried that animal control will be at the post office waiting for me with hand-cuffs," the new poultry farmer wrote.

I couldn't find an answer to this already and it seems like a fairly easy question to answer: How do I accept an edit suggestion on my question that was rejected by others?
wait nvm I'm stupid
 
user315433
1:58 PM
@VoteToClose There is no such feature, although it was requested in Allow the owner of a post to approve a suggested edit even if it was rejected by reviewers. All you can do is copy-paste the text of suggestion.

Hello, everyone!
A user told me that he can't see the Favorite button when he browses SE on his mobile. How is it possible?

@DamkerngT. Has they joined that particular site?

It seems so. He seems to be able to post comments just fine. But he also complained that he can't edit his answers on his mobile, either. Strange.

Strange indeed. Perhaps bring it to meta as detailed as possible.

It's really strange. I was hoping that someone might've run into the same problem. At the moment, it's unclear how exactly he uses his phone. I'll see if I can get more information from him. If it's a real problem, maybe it's worth a meta post. Thanks for being helpful!

Q: Gathering and Reporting SE Site Stats

EBrownRecently, I've built an application which accesses the SE API to gather certain statistics on each site. (The application gathers the data between 00:00:00UTC+00:00 and 00:05:00UTC+00:00 for the most part.) It does this, by pulling all sites from the /sites API endpoint, then querying the /info e...

A: Should Stack Overflow be more restrictive about new user registrations?

Grumble SnatchAccount-Creation Restrictions Blacklisting one-off email services like Mailinator is as far as we should go with account creation restrictions. These services have a generally negative connotation: their users intend to sign up for something they know nothing about or even distrust, or are tryi...

I can't find that old(ish) announcement about introducing a speed limit for new accounts, where in your early days you'd get X questions/day and upvotes or downvotes on your questions would influence that count (and, especially, slow things down for people who're posting lots of bad material, so that we have time to actually coach them to improve.) Would someone who remembers that announcement be able to link it to me?
