Q: Buttons on stackexchange.com look weird on Internet Explorer

When using Chrome, Firefox or IE9 everything is OK. However, using IE10 or IE11, some buttons looks like this: Link to page with those buttons - browse with IE10 or IE11 and log in to reproduce. On other sites I couldn't see this type of buttons. This also happens in Stack Exchange por...

SPArchaeologist

@Bart - so the "I'm not listening" hat is from meta? I was just going to try to ignore a random user in the chat. You spared me some time.

Oded

@ShadowWizard You use IE???

Shadow Wizard

Stack Exchange main portal looks REALLY ugly for IE users, they think that's how it should look... is the team aware of this display bug?

@Oded of course not, only with my sock

Bart

@SPArchaeologist Nah, don't think it's site specific. And has nothing to do with chat afaik.

Oded

I don't think anyone noticed that one though.

Shadow Wizard

1:02 PM

Seen it both from home computer and work computer so don't think it's machine specific

Hey room anyone with IE10 or IE11 here?

Oh my, I said the forbidden word and now everyone ran away!

Johannes Kuhn

I got IE 9 here.

Shadow Wizard

@JohannesKuhn try going to stackexchange.com

How the "Explore our sites" button looks like?

IE9 should work fine though :(

SPArchaeologist

ie11 and confirm the bug

Shadow Wizard

@SPArchaeologist cool! So it's not me going insane. :)

Duncan

@Oded Are you aware of any meta posts that describe the recent changes to the 10k tools, which grey-out posts that you've handled?

Oded

1:13 PM

@ShadowWizard - fixed. I don't think any of us uses IE on the day to day.

Duncan

It's basically a solution to my old meta problem. So I wanted to either close that as a duplicate or add an answer to state that the functionality is now in place.

And maybe add something to the feature change list.

Oded

@Duncan yes - Jarrod made some recent changes.

Duncan

@Oded Thanks, that's let me find the right post to link to.

How about a compromise? I've made it so any post you've flagged will be hidden by default, but a "show posts you've already flagged" link will appear at the bottom of the list. Clicking it will show the already-flagged posts with the grayed-out styling. This hopefully will allay the concerns o...

@SPArchaeologist luckily for me there was always the team leader who was that "guy"! But when it comes to classic ASP... :p

SPArchaeologist

@TimStone - Very -un-brown or very brown? Ye known the rhymes: "a brown pile by any other name is still a SharePoint server"...

Oded

I had a conversation a while back with a sharepoint consultant who told me that he is making a very good living that way.

"Of course", I said. "That's because most people go off it for life."

I too have been scarred by the beast that is SharePoint

Laszlo Papp

heh, I got a lot of hats

this pirate stuff is funny. :)

Btw, why cannot I mark a comment as obsolete that I upvoted?

SPArchaeologist

Oded, actually many SharePoint gurus are paid a lot. It's only that I am between the others.

Oded

My point is that they are getting paid a lot because most people with experience with it don't want to touch it anymore... making such consultants a scarce (and therefore highly paid) resource

Laszlo Papp

1:58 PM

What is wrong about flagging a comment that you upvoted before?

SPArchaeologist

@Oded Nahh.... We get paid a lot (or better OTHERS get paid a lot) because of all the training we must do... Living in a tower, dodging fireball from other students, experimenting with explosive potions and such....

Oded

lol

Tim Stone

@SPArchaeologist It's true, I've heard the biggest part of being a SharePoint developer is making the appropriate sacrifices to the computer gods, which I imagine is quite complicated.

SPArchaeologist

Actually it is the easy part. The hard part is collecting the bat wings and beholder eyes for the ritual. Also... not may offices are located near an abandoned church.

Shadow Wizard

Laszlo Papp

@ShadowWizard: so I cannot add some more?

Shadow Wizard

As for the comment just flag the post itself as "Other" and ask to remove the comment

No, only one bounty can be applied to a question at any time

Wait until it expires (or awarded) and you can start a new one :)

Laszlo Papp

jadarnel27

@Duncan You can flag it for mod attention, explaining that it's been completed. Then they (or a dev) will add the tag. I've had success with that.

Of course, there are enough blues in here that it might happen without the flag =)

Duncan

@jadarnel27 Ok. Is that because mere mortals can't assign that tag or is it an etiquette matter?

quality filters? You're talking post-bans here?

Could I ask you nice people to upvote this question and answer so I can get a couple hats please? stackoverflow.com/q/19695975/682480

Anna Lear

What do you mean by quality filters?

ChrisForrence

Yes, post-bans

JoshC

@CodeMaverick I thought the question has to be answered during the bash?

Code Maverick

Oh maybe so?? Dang ...

Thought I could get Archeologist and Sock Puppet.

Pretty sure that's how it works. I could be wrong, I don't have many hats.

Anna Lear

@ChrisForrence There's no distinction. Closed is closed (whether as duplicate, still "on hold", etc.)

Code Maverick

I wonder if I could delete that answer, and re-answer =D

I wonder what Gabe would do to me if I started taking questions from Br.so, ran them through Google Translate to English, answered them in English, then google translated that back to Portugeez?

Anna Lear

@CodeMaverick ಠ_ಠ

@UndotheSnowman ಠ_ಠ

ChrisForrence

Ok; so it's just a different label (but closed behind the scenes)?

Anna Lear

Two responses for the price of one! :)

@ChrisForrence Basically, yes. We track which close reasons are used, obviously, but when it comes to the quality ban check, we just check for closed and deleted questions regardless of how they were closed or deleted.

Bart

That makes me think you should really rename yourself to Anna Leer

Undo the Snowman

Even better: I could take posts, translate them to English, edit them, translate them back to Portugeez, and suggest that as an edit :D

ChrisForrence

@AnnaLear - Ah, ok. Thank you!

Anna Lear

@UndotheSnowman You have far too much faith in Google Translate.

I can't tell if you're joking, but just in case you're not... dude. Don't. :P
