Can a 15k+ user please confirm if this is still an issue?

@Bookends Thanks

I tried to unprotect instead, but the same

And the time shifts forward...

→ 9 messages moved to Chimney

@Blue not necessarily but its a good idea in general

presumably but getting said 20 rep is trivial ;p

lol

red, green, octarine...

@Blue what @JourneymanGeek said would have been my response. IIRC Floern is only available in the weekends and not even all weekends for the upcoming months so it might take 6 to 8 for him to catch up.

@Blue this is also doubly so since you're a moderator

Principle of least privilege

I think I need a sock for mod abuse...

I prefer foot-gloves

Is this a thing??

@Bookends quite a few mods end up having one

@Blue next weekend will work for me.

Okay!

lol

@SonictheWizardWerehog even if it is, we should not add "this bug still happens in [time here]". It adds nothing, and doing it once means it should be done to ALL open bug reports, which obviously is a very bad idea. TL;DR: I agree with the roll back. Proper bumping is adding more details or making existing details more clear.

@ShadowWizard I figured I'd be asked about that ;p

@JourneymanGeek yeah, I considered rolling back too, but didn't have enough time to think it through, and by the time I did, you already rolled back. :)

"The bug still happens now" is valid as comment, which also show clear time stamp so easy to follow.

sorry, bumped again!

I'm a little annoyed that I suspect bumping was the intent

@JourneymanGeek might be, but we have worse ways of bumping which are too common, e.g. adding a blank space.

Its still a minor, content free edit meant to get attention

I was a little annoyed when I responded that I was trying to unprotect instead‌​, but it wasn't included in the edit since grace period...

@smileycreations15 general discussion about SE, MSE, and unicorns.

@JourneymanGeek @ShadowWizard The point of my edit was, that the question in its current form, leads people to dismiss it as "an old bug report, may have been fixed". In my opinion, it's better to emphasize in the post that it's not "some old bug report that may have been fixed", that it still happens now.

You could ask here to create a tag wiki instead of "wasting" a question over it.

@SonictheWizardWerehog no, it's not better. It is noise.

@Blue Chat moderators can still post despite being suspended

Eh, if it has been fixed, I'd answer the question right away

@SonictheWizardWerehog That's what comments are for, and if you want to bump it, bounties.

@Tinkeringbell or valid edits, yeah.

@Tinkeringbell The SE team has specifically stated that "bounties on bug reports tend to be a waste".

!!/coffee black

@ShadowWizard brews a cup of Mocha for @black

!!/coffee blue

@ShadowWizard brews a cup of Cappuccino for @blue

@SonictheWizardWerehog they draw attention at least same as edits, so they're not pointless or total waste.

Waste meant "not likely to have the bug fixed right away", not pointless in general.

True, and an edit like Bookends' would have been better if I wanted to bump it without spending rep, plus my text that I added in a comment instead.

so... why do you want to bump it, anyway?

Glad that RemoveAbandonedQuestions is disabled here. For a while it was a zero-voted, low-viewed, non-commented post, so it would have fallen victim to that if it were enabled.

@Bookends To possibly get it fixed?

what about the rest of the bug reports? :(

like this...

@Bookends surely we can write a script that will add "This bug still happens as of $now" to all bug reports without status tag which are inactive for over couple of years.

@Bookends You could update the post to describe what happens in modern browsers?

@ShadowWizard except when they're not, like the many SE Android app bugs that I've answered :/

@SonictheWizardWerehog it's the same, nothing to update from me

@Bookends You can post an answer or make an edit that explains that it still happens in Chrome [x]/Edge. I've explained those in the post I linked above.

But I don't want to

@Bookends Then contact SE? An SE employee said you could.

But I don't want to. I could, not I should.

@Bookends not what? Not happening? I doubt any bug on the app was ever fixed without marked as completed.

@ShadowWizard not repro or accidentally fixed

hehe

reads up

@SonictheWizardWerehog the right kind of attention's important though

simply bumping things is less useful than convincing folks its useful

Someone is unsympathetic about the future of AI

too heavy

And some sites... well most sites go years between elections

@JourneymanGeek But is using things less bumpful than convincing uses it's folkful?

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ but is it thingfully using?

@JourneymanGeek I argue your findment imprecise

fundaments argue!

Or do you not word for my care?

ZURD!

I care for my word!

Then you shall consequent the faces

Hey leave my face alone!

Your face is consequence

No, you!

Oh the weird things you come by

I have no idea, Smokey

yes, yes it is

This could have been prevented by proper use of Hungarian notation. Or just by always converting to HTML at the last possible moment.

hungarian notation would help... how?

or, y'know, you could just use descriptive names

or not at all, because that particular element comes from a few levels into a data structure and doesn't have its own variable

I'm going for the curious badge. One day I shall succeed ...

@rene What can you possibly be curious about?

You can try making it meta

"I'm curious why some people around here are curious"

How many legit users have "boi" as their username?

Grrrmbl, there will be an extra primary because of just one candidate

So, which one should we blame?

I'd say each candidate get 1/11th of a blame

stackoverflow.com/… — Oh boi

Graphs! All life problems are solved

I think if we throw enough spiking trends at CO2 levels they would dwindle

@MSOGA Hmm...the position listing says it's a New York-based position but the profile says they're from the UK

I guess he's relocating here with a visa sponsored by SE

@MSOGA Huh, some time in the past I've downvoted that post but now I retracted it because I reserve them for cases that would actively harm the site and not cracking-walnut-with-sledgehammer cases

Is it not an overkill though? The instances where it does happen, going the extra mile and mod-flagging or whatever requires just a little more effort

April fools definitely is!

Think about @rene

Or daffodils without attitudes if that doesn't help

Yes, think about me! Or even better: have a nightmare about me

@MSOGA what way things are going?
