Next to the add comment there is now a 'show deleted' link which I assume shows the deleted comments.
But this link / button is there always, could it be possible to only show it if there are deleted comments?

Yep I'll add it to the list.

Might be worth adding a guideline about not posting the same question in multiple fora. Or maybe extending the one about cross-linking.

Agreed, I have had to wag an admonishing finger on a few occasions.

Did so myself a few minutes ago.
[quasi-edit to original post] maybe include QA in the scope.

How about:
Choose the correct forum for your message. The one that best fits your problem area. And only one.
Or choose Questions & Answers section. But not both.
PS: this will puzzle the reader unless you instruct him in the forum/QA dilemma...

I suggest extending rule 9 to something like
9. Please do not post links to your question in one forum from another, unrelated forum (such as the lounge). ItThey will be deleted. Likewise, do not post the same question in more than one forum.
nb bold above is only to indicate changes.

Links can be good.
1. A thread can be a problem that relates to a recent other problem, where the context has been layed out and more code is already published.
2. A thread can be discontinued in its forum, and started up in another one. (e.g. when it starts as a MySQL question, and after some back-and-forth one agrees it is SQL Server, not MySQL related)
3. Sugs&Bugs need to provide a link to a problem.
4. Lounge may want to link to a problem or hilarious situation.
And links can be abused, just like everything else; e.g. for self-promotion.

Agreed; links per se are not evil. I was just adding a sentence to the existing rule. Maybe the existing rule needs review along the lines you mention, but I don't think we want to overload newbies with the subtleties. KISS for your first few questions.

While I'm sure it's a wonderful article, the fact it says Edit in the title doth not mean it should be with articles about edit controls...
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/36076/Editing-Ribbon-Bar-Images.aspx[^]
Other ribbon-y articles appear to be under Miscellaneous - General, or Misc - Misc.
I don't know if the author or an editor put it in the wrong spot, but it should probably be moved.

Editing Ribbon Bar Images is in the Edit Controls category (but because it's a technical blog on its article surface you can't see its category)
There are indeed ribbon-y articles hiding in the Misc. section that I'll move. Thanks sir Warrior!

Hi! I can confirm that this happened to me as well in two other QAs. When it happened I just posted the same comment again... so far it worked for me on the second attempt.

Nah, when it happens I can try any number of times with the same or different messages with no success. We do need the comment system, but perhaps it is time to re-think the whole site! It seems to be getting a little creaky at the edges...

same thing...couldn't get it to show no matter how many times I tried adding it.

Try again please, should be good now.
Sorry about this
Sincerely,

Life is great!!!
Enjoy every moment of it!

Oops. Our fault. It should be OK now.

Finally! I thought it might have been overlooked when DD last reported it and I was about to report it myself. Looks like I can post comments now though.

Been a busy week with lots of code branching, so I've only just had a chance to upload a new stable build.
Well, as stable as they get
