Yeah it's strange anyways. I left my computer on overnight, and the inbox was filtered to be on unread items. It reads the item when its opened for 5 seconds or so, which is fine. But at some point it starts to recalculate the filter apparently, and then all hell breaks loose.
@Leah funny you ask such thing while using a stock photo as avatar. (funny in a bad way.)
I will probably switch back to real picture of myself at some point, maybe even with next rename...

@Luuklag welcome to Microsoft, the Kingdom of Bugs.
Honestly no idea why people keep using its bugged email service/client instead of switching to real email clients like gmail.
Heck millions of people couldn't send email using Microsoft Exchange when 2022 started because, well, 2022 started. Microsoft didn't configure something or whatever. Really need more reason to switch to something better?? lol
@Leah this is general chat, you can ask anything, in the scope of SE policy/rules. Just keep it civil, and don't flood. (i.e. ask one question at a time, wait for replies, don't push it further.)
@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Eh... that goes for site/network related stuff just fine, but if you're going to ask personal questions... just don't. This is not a game of 20 questions ;)
@Tinkeringbell I see no problem in asking e.g. for one's real name, and let those who want to share it. Just like I said, not pushing it or trying to ask anyone again after asking once.
@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Meh. Maaaybe, but let it come up naturally in a conversation then. Not just drop by random rooms and ask random users, that's just nosy and low-key disruptive if you ask me.
As I see it, part of general chat is getting to know each other better, and asking questions is about the only way to do it. So people share details about their jobs, their real life, etc.
Sure, but like I said: Most of that comes up in conversation naturally. Not in a "can I ask you a bunch of questions you have to answer truthfully" on your first venture into chat way.
@Tinkeringbell ah but I was born on a hijacked airship and brought up by wild engineers. I spent my youth perfecting the art of full contact combat origami to avenge my slain giant African land snail.
Right now it seems that a bug is affecting MO: reputation and badges are no longer displayed next to the users' names.
This happens both on the front page:
as well as on pages of individual questions:
Furthermore, the reputation pop-up is also not displayed when I hover the mouse cursor above a...
@MadScientist True, though just hiding the score for others doesn't take away a lot of that (like privileges being awarded based on reputation and badges still being earned?)
and for soooome reason no one wants to join our team
Well the other team has no issues hiring
And when they had covid related/re-assignment related shortfalls their manager went "Eh, I'll take a shift"
She's awesome :D
Essentially the other team was under our boss. If we're understaffed, the other team covers us, which gives my boss some hold on the other team. At the expense of well ...
us?
@Luuklag Actually - I think its generally me complaining about my wierd sleeping hours :D
(also I tend to have some balls in the air, and if something works out, I'd quit. I mean there's not much keeping me here other than, well I need the money :D )
Not what I meant :P You're acting like getting a better job will mean more free time, I'm saying that if you have to do chores in your own apartment (and sleeping regularly :P), there won't be much more free time
@Mgetz So, any chance you can just make sure you're not available for notifying on their posts? I guess that's your only option left then. Otherwise, if they are "quite toxic", might still be worth flagging them not so much for the notifications but the general toxicity.
Ah, yeah. true. I was thinking of 'don't interact with their posts', but that doesn't make sense if they're also interacting on other people's posts :)
