Does pinging @undeletevoters work?

nope

I can do it.

I assume you want me to ;p

Undelete that is

@Stormblessed undeleted. Do the necessary edits so people don't close it again thx

Q: “Ask question” takes too much vertical space on questions with responsive mobile, looks bad

Almost all of this text comes from this (wrongfully) closed and deleted bug report. That bug was fixed, but now it’s come back! Looking at a question, I noticed that the “Ask Question” button by the title has been pushed up a long way: How it used to look, for comparison: This seems to b...

@JourneymanGeek oh crap

Actually nvm

@Stormblessed Its ok

taken care of

don't do anything else ;p

Wait what

I can’t edit my own I deleted posts?

I deleted the old one, undeleted the new one

12:11 AM

But I just did that a few minutes ago

@JourneymanGeek oh ok! You’re great

So, this is what we call in the industry a race condition

and I don't mean the sort that involves telling people where to sit in a bus on account of their skin colour, which is dumb

@JourneymanGeek which industry? Moderating?

So - old question redeleted (so people don't assume its a dupe)

@Stormblessed software I assume

Its eating the world (nom nom nom)

So - I deleted the old post (so you can't edit it - and there's no dupe), and undeleted the new one.

.... actually

@JourneymanGeek does @reopenvoters work?

newp

12:15 AM

What about @deletevoters?

also newp

Good to know

Ok, I think that's taken care of. The old question is closed as a dupe of the new one, and I've left a comment so I don't get a meta post over why I did that

that seems the best option ;p

@JourneymanGeek ok cool!

We don't always get it right the first time D:

@JourneymanGeek Yes.

1:11 AM

Wait

Does typing @closevoters in a comment do anything?

Wait really?

🤦‍♂️

@Stormblessed Imagine if someone went @closevoters....

and started spamming comments

Sadly sometimes mechanics are designed for both the best and worst of us

@Stormblessed the only people who can be pinged in comments are the post author, people who have commented on the post, and people who have edited it. The last group doesn't autocomplete, though.

And, actually, the op doesn't autocomplete in a few situations, either.

Pro tip: make sure your laptop is fully updated before you travel, to make sure it doesn't force restart on you while you're flying or at your destination

Talking about a Snackbar makes hungry.

If I would have had a question about that "thing" I'm for sure wouldn't have called it a Snack Bar but it does fit the theme food as names for design elements as we already have the Hamburger menu.

8:00 AM

I feel bad. I tagged a question c and sealed its faith ...

@rene Shouldn't you feel all powerful then?

When it is about c I get all weak ...

8:16 AM

@rene faith? ;p

meh

@JourneymanGeek You have done well, my apprentice

@SmokeDetector K

I was thinking more along the lines of those who live in glass doghouses shouldn't throw stones

The world I wish to build and participate in is no longer supported.

@404 What happened to the poor turtle?

How can I view feedback (invisible votes)? I have 10K (well really just 2K) on Politics?

@Tinkeringbell Discworld reference?

@404 what do you mean?

4:40 PM

@Stormblessed Discworld?

Just mythology.
