Sounds like the bug I reported last week: Answers list showing as questions[^]
Judging by the icon, the fix is "in progress".

As it says on the label... a whole bunch of Kent's posts under 2 hours old are interleaved with Bill's, Mark's and Eddy's.
Not a biggie, but confusing. Web02 | 2.8.170514.1 | Last Updated 15 May 2017 if that means anything.

"I have not and will ever use it" - needs an 'n'.
"I will probably use it eventiually" - should lose the 'i'.

Ouch. Hope you feel better soon!

If you go and look at the first thirty "questions," you'll see that most of them are heavily down-voted, many falling into the category of requests-for-code. I haven't the stamina (or eyesight) to examine a larger sample.
If this is the current state of the C# forum, why can't we re-route these questionable questions to QA, where, hopefully, they'll get soon removed, or better yet, kill them pronto ?
I can't see the value of a C# forum full of OT posts, and the formulaic replies often made to them.
cheers, Bill

So is it time to kill the programming forums?

I don't think so; they still have a purpose. They provide a better "discussion" format than is possible (or at least easy to maintain) in QA which is a lot more "solution" orientated.
It only becomes a problem when students post their homework, or our ex-resident Help Vampire finds something new.
What it needs is better users ...

Isn't the primary issue here how to move, or kill, OT and 'gimme questions quickly ?
cheers, Bill

Hi, Chris,
I think some strategy short of murder is worth bandying about
Maybe a bit of forensics, first ?
1. is my current perception of a C# forum "clogged up" with OT static accurate ?
2. what's happening that down-voted messages are being removed quicker on QA than on the C# forum ? is that perception accurate ?
3. have we reached a point where discussion of language issues are less in demand ?
4. if posts were moved to QA, would that damage our tender young crop of future savants ?
5. better to remove heavily down-voted posts ?
best wishes, Bill

Even if they do, I don't. You have some of the funniest quips on your posts, and I always look forward to reading what you came up with.

You're making me blush! Thank you, you are too kind.
I'll let the devs figure it out, but I suspect it might be the items I've entered for Monday's newsletter. There had been some updates  to the system I use. I'm thinking/hoping it will clarify itself by Monday morning (if not sooner).

Can't upvote your post from Android phone unfortunately. I've tried to post 2 comments in QA this morning. No error message but also no message!

Instead of the options for the poll, there's a box with the text: "Error: There are no options with this question".
Edit: works fine now

Seems to be working now.
Must have been a database glitch due to load.

I've had that for years. Go to the page, empty list. Refresh once or twice and it gets populated. Just accepted it as a lovable quirk of the site.

The list of QA answers seems to be displaying as if they were questions. Rather than showing whether the answer has been accepted, they're now showing "0 answers".

The problem still persist util today...

Performance over the entire site is poor. It's taking forever to load and render most pages. Seems like a SQL Server problem as you can watch pages with lists load and render individual items in the list one at a time.
