Joe added it on the 11th and then removed it seven hours ago... and then Adam added it back right after Joe removed it...
It takes ~an hour for the system to catch up with whether something's tagged as "featured" or not... so if it checked and it never saw it "unfeatured", it may have assumed that it was not ever removed.

If that is the case, what is the point of adding the tag? The tag implies that the post is very important and should reach larger audience. It should be shown throughout the network irrespective of the post age. That feature should be useful. — Nog Shine 1 min ago
@Shog9 can you please address this? ^

@Shog9 Probably one of HTTP Header: Content Security Policy (CSP)

Q: Enable Content Security Policy on Stack Exchange

Michał PerłakowskiI think it would be a good idea to enable Content Security Policy on Stack Exchange. With CSP it's possible to disable inline scripts, and that can improve security. For example, some time ago I found an XSS vulnerability in the Stack Exchange chat. I reported it and it was fixed, but that vulner...

feature-request security
 
Mgetz
Mgetz
@Shog9 Basically it's a huge way to prevent people from doing XSS against stack. The main issue and the reason it was probably rejected was user styles and scripts.
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
Maybe Nick can answer it with the reasons why it's too complex?
 
Shog9
Shog9
heh. Ok. Yeah, disabling inline scripts is a much bigger deal than enabling the header (which... is probably also a big deal)
 
Shadow Wizard

@Shog9 thanks! Will you answer @Nog's question and update your old answer to reflect the change?

Q: Featured questions are not shown network wide

Nog ShineCurrently, there are three questions tagged with featured here on Meta Stack Exchange. Usually, when there is a post with this tag, it is visible throughout the network on the Community bulletin or bulletin board with "Featured on Meta" right side of our page. But these questions are not shown on...

Shog9
Shog9
even so, we use gobs of inline scripts
 
Mgetz
Mgetz
@Shog9 as long as they are same origin that's fine
 
Shog9
Shog9
are any of them?
 
Mgetz
Mgetz
you can restrict where inline scripts can come from. For example you can block third party eval usage
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
2:29 PM
eww.... eval...
 
Mgetz
Mgetz
@Shog9 inline would mean on the page those are considered same origin

SmokeDetector
SmokeDetector
@ShadowWizard No such command 'eval'.
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
@SmokeDetector Good!
 
Mgetz
Mgetz
At a minimum user settings pages should always have a very restrictive CSP header
It would also allow stack to prevent linking of images from unapproved hosts, Iframing stack, loading in malicious worker scripts, loading in video or other crazy things etc.
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
2:34 PM
@Mgetz framing is already not possible, dunno about other things you mention though.
 
Shog9
Shog9
...this really does sound like it would screw with some of my userscripts
 
Mgetz
Mgetz
@Shog9 are you using an addon?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Especially the malicious worker scripts for mining unicoin?
 
Mgetz
Mgetz
because addons seem to be immune to CSP at least on chrome
 
Shog9
Shog9
particularly the one that injects external scripts on multiple domains to get around the same origin policy
 
Shadow Wizard
Shadow Wizard
2:37 PM
Shog love client side scripting so makes sense he's using some hack to bypass the same origin policy... :)
 
Shog9
Shog9
@Mgetz yes, but my usual approach is to inject as much logic into the page itself rather than running from the (somewhat more privileged) addon sandbox
 
Mgetz
Mgetz
@Shog9 I'd test it with Nick on an internal site and see if it works. I believe it will, but scripts run in the console may be rejected
 
Shog9
Shog9
...that would also be annoying
 
Mgetz
Mgetz
That said I'd suggest migrating away from inline scripts
looks like chrome definitely excludes user extensions from CSP

Weird idea of the day: Reverse Code Golf
Take a large enough full app complete with unit tests projects. Ideally, there should be at least 600-800 tests.
The goal is to see who comes up with the smallest possible code change that breaks at least 50% of the tests. Code must still compile correctly, obviously.

I think it would be possible to put a dynamic CSP nonce in the grade, and user scripts could query for that and attach it to their scripts and styles before inserting. It would require them to be updated, but just a few lines.

@Derpy Doesn't sound that difficult? I could blow away many of my apps by selecting a buffer pool size of 0. The lot would load and lock solid immediate.
 
Derpy
Derpy
@MartinJames you have to destroy the tests, not the whole app. Which means that you have to destroy small part of code that run in isolation. Probably with some mocked call thrown in.
not sure it would be so simple if the tests are spread enough.

Housing homeless people in cheap apartments because it's a lot cheaper (particularly in dallas and houston) to pay 50k a year for their healthcare + food + apartment than it is to pay 200K+ per person due to complications of homelessness
it's prioritized based on how much a person has cost the county and the hospitals per year

I haven't heard anything about that, actually. But the bigger cities tend to be more progressive anyway.

so, I may be confused here, but I think my question is more, eh, general (why did that happen at first place? vs. issues with something new), even if the answer is partly the same as the one in yours
and also because it just looks very inconsistent with the rest of most SE sites :)
I use the tab a lot, and it actually slows me down a bit that it has changed while the others are as usual

@AdamLear I would however highly suggest playing around with CSS grid... it makes 99% of CSS pain not an issue. All for the low low price of condemning IE 11 users to mobile version because IE does not support the modern grid standard

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog css grid doesn't break that, it just doesn't arrange the elements in desktop format for IE11
basically when designing a CSS grid site you design the mobile version first, then rearrange the whole thing using grid

No, I'm talking about direct black-on-white text that just glints at me, plus the use of non-standard UI elements
Plus, on my 1080p screen with 100% DPI, YouTube videos appear much smaller in Chrome than in IE

Not sure, OP should probably.
I'll follow @Sonic so far.

If you think the existing answer to a question tagged faq isn't good enough, the proper procedure is to edit the answer or add a new answer there. — Sonic the Inclusive Hedgehog 53 secs ago

I noticed that the FAQ on uploading images didn't mention the 10-rep requirement on some sites. I've gone ahead and edited it in.
@Mgetz Due to the difference in vertical height, IE renders the same video much bigger than Chrome. (If you press Alt or Ctrl+F or enable any toolbars on IE, it will become as small as Chrome, so that confirms it's indeed due to vertical height.)

FYI I really hated that nobody bothered to update the FAQ answers. This is part of why I edited anonymously.

I'm a bit confused as the question asks about inline images which I interpret as on the same line, still in the answer they show nothing of that.

It's not circular it's more... 🐇

@rene It's already covered in the FAQ, in the question it says "I've noticed other answers on similar questions show how to link to pictures, but don't show how to display a picture in a post."

@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog maybe the title of the FAQ needs a touch up then?
as it is not only uploading?

@rene Yeah, the word "inline" isn't in the FAQ, so when they searched, they didn't find the FAQ. See the most recent answer edit. (That's precisely the point of closing as duplicate, to serve as a signpost for searchability.)
I edited the FAQ question.

I flagged the question for moderator attention for merging, because I believe the answer is good.
@Shog9 Please handle the request

@Mgetz we do our layouts with flexbox and I'm most certainly not even going to try changing that :)
@Catija @ΈρικΚωνσταντόπουλος I reverted the change to tabs on /users. They'll change again as we roll new styles out, but at that point at least there should be no weird overlays and whatnot.
