When you see a upvoted link-only answer that seems like it's useful, consider fixing it instead of getting rid of it

both educates the poster if they revisit, and fixing it allows it to be useful in case another person reads the thread again

TGMCians

ok i'll do same

Unihedron

unless it's unsalvageable, then just flag it.

A: Make bounty award color blue in summary tab

I agree. Blue would be more meaningful than green. It will make the UI more consistent, because it appears blue in the full reputation tab of the profile and green in the recent rep summary at present. This has been reported by others in the past as well. Please make it blue!

Upvote Inf, faster!!!
