It's still on, right? The original announcement said it would run every month from Nov 2010 to Mar 2011. But now it's not announced anywhere on the site! Hence the question. Thanks.

Hey Sean,
Yeah, I know of that page. But it is not currently linked from anywhere (anywhere obvious anyway).
|
|
|
|

I think I saw a add in the banner on top for that so... (of course that's completely random)

The Azure competition has a permanent link on the top left of the main pages, and I think the WP7 comp should be linked from there too.
|
|

|

Damn your fast, did you read my mind or something? 
Never saw that link before but now that you mention it, yeah the WP7 deserves to be linked there as well.
|

Yeah, you need to stop thinking aloud, Tom!

Weird, it expired. In a few minutes it will be back. Good catch

Today when I was looking at a question, I had a response in mind which I couldn't pin to either a comment or an answer. I decided to post it as a comment which was a mistake and I immediately deleted the comment and posted it as an answer.
Now the comment still shows(when I'm logged in) and says that it was deleted but is this normal? Should it still be unnecessarily shown to the user who deleted it?

It has always been like this...as far as I can remember. The hamsters will have to answer your question whether or not it should be like this.

Oh I see. It doesn't look that good though.

Whoops I didn't catch this when I read the bugs list first:
Task 892 Do not show 'Show deleted' when no deleted comments exist
I guess this might be the one or am I just confusing everything?

No that's the button that hides or shows deleted items for users with the right permissions.
But you'll still see it (of course you can use that button to hide them )

If I'm not mistaken this grew over time.
Deleted answers (back when comments where not yet implemented) used to be deleted for real but this caused all sorts of problems and weirdness with indexes and such.
So now deleted answers / comments don't get deleted for real just hidden for everyone except the OP (or users with permissions to see the deleted items)
I think this is the intended behavior but you'll have to wait for Chris to confirm this.

We've never deleted comments, we just set them as "deleted".
The issue was we used to hide them but then members wanted a way to undelete them, so we showed them. Then they complained it was noisy, so we hide them and provided a button to show/hide them. Then they complained more and so we made "show" the default.

Whoa that would have caused all sorts of problems for the Hamsters alright. I suppose this is a normal functionality then.

and barely moving. upstate new york if that makes a difference (server location?).
Also, every time I vote for something it takes 30-45 seconds to finish...this goes for bookmarking as well. It takes about 45 secs to a minutes to see the reputation graph. All other sites I go to are working just fine and my internet connection is good.

I think there were very few instances for me where the page didn't even load at all. Very few though so I guess that doesn't count as something big. Other than that it was fine for me.

We've just had a full code update so it was slow while it was spooling up, and also during the periods when we turned off half the servers. The database was also updated and it didn't like that at all. Not one bit.
should be good now.
