Thanks! This means a great feature is once more working well.
Just developer curiosity, if you have the time, what went wrong and how did you fix it?

There's no polite way to say this.
var id1 = "1234";
var id2 = 1234;
if (id === ad2)
DoGoodStuff();
Third time.

Not quite. It's Javascript:
("1234" == 1234) == true
("1234" === 1234) == false
It's all in the concept of "truthy" meaning loose or abstract equality in Javascript.

I used to program in a language called "Rexx" which had the same kind of thing:
x = " Hello "
If x = "hello" Then... Gives a true result despite the leading and trailing blanks and the difference in case.
If x == "hello" then... Gives a false result
It even went as far as:
If 0.0 == 0 Then... false
Whereas:
If 0.0 = 0 Then... true
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

See here: Where can I bookmark articles?[^]
I can confirm that it's present in Chrome and Edge, but missing in an IE based tab (regardless of your rep):
 And IE gives:

Probably because IE has some script errors:
SCRIPT1002: Syntax error
article.min.js (10,5305)
SCRIPT5009: 'ReadLaterList' is undefined
Simple-Software-for-Optimal-Control (2460,1)
SCRIPT5009: 'processCodeBlocks' is undefined
Simple-Software-for-Optimal-Control (2449,4)
The first one seems to be caused by an arrow function[^], which isn't supported in any version of IE:
t=n.filter(n=>n.Title.toLowerCase().indexOf(i)>-1);
The other two are probably collateral damage from the first one.

All fixed, and as a bonus extra I made sure the site works properly on iPad 1.

Being disconnected from the internet has clearly recharged your batteries really well!
A good time was had by all, I hope?

Looking for a QA answer I gave yesterday, and I saw this:
3.0/5 from 0 votes?
0.0/5 from 0 votes is normal, but how do I suddenly get 3's is no-one has voted?
Or have you changed the "scoring" to "3 is the default"?

Maybe somebody voted and then clicked the "Undo" option?

Possible - I can't check as my "rep display" rarely works at all!

OK, maybe there's something else going on:

Not sure why, but I think the System is now recognizing that anything from you is better than nothing

It definitely looks like a caching issue - I know some of these have had votes, but are showing as "3/5 - 0 votes":
Eg: Lastwritetimeutc difference in 2 copies of a file[^]

All fixed. I'm not even going to attempt to explain that one. Just imagine something vaguely plausible and defendable and it'll be better than the actual bug.

I'm edging towards Mathew's explanation. It was that or Leprechauns.

Hello,
I have noticed that my latest article is not shown anywhere except the main page (article id:1360649). It is not listed under "Artificial Intelligence" section although it is in that section. None of its tags or search terms list it in the results. I am not sure if this is a bug? Or maybe the lists are updated at regular intervals, I don't know...
Thanks.

That's a strange one. We're digging in to see what's going on.
