Surely nice one. But based on how the Q&A works, just a slight change, what if we have 'Propose a solution' instead of 'Post the solution'?
This way, people upvoting would actually support proposed solution and OP can accept a proposed solution. Sounds like all fits in!
|
|
|
|

Nope. OP knows the problem. So when he posts a solution it is posting a solution. We guys on other hand propose the solution assuming OPs original problem based on the question.
So if OP proposes a solution, it moves the approving authority role from OP to us. This means, we are better off OPs problem than he himself. Which is wrong, isn't it?

I was suggesting text as 'Propose a solution' for us and not from OP prospective, based on which I still think the text that would fit more is 'Propose a solution'. This already is suggesting OP to not post anything as a solution to the asked problem as you proposed by suggesting 'Post a solution'.
It was just my suggestion. Chris and team are the one who are going to decide on it. 
Thanks.

I move the answer to where it should be then delete it after telling the OP the correct procedure.

This Blog is waiting for approval[^].
Whilst the Author has a link to the original, and therefore is giving credit. The changes he has made are minimal and it therefore smacks too much of plagiarism for my liking.
Am I being too sensitive?

There is virtually no original content in that blog entry. The only thing in the code that differs is the filename (it chooses a particular date format rather than automatically serializing the date value). That being said, it is really just a small code snippet that the "author" tweaked slightly to suit his needs. And it was written on his blog in a way that makes it seem like "hey everybody, this is what I did, it may be useful for you too." And, as you say, he links to the original. Doesn't seem like he's trying to pass off the work of another as his own, so I wouldn't be too harsh on him. If this were an article or tip/trick, that would be a different matter.

I was part way through an exchange with the author of this[^] article when I suddenly no longer had access.
I also no longer see any on the home page.
Have the reputation requirements changed?

The border for 'Answer Accepted' highlight butts right up against the text of the answer.
Not a big deal, just thought I'd let you folks know.

the editing mode input box is not that wide anymore. This was fixed I believe last week and now it is back to its old format. I think the width should span across the page giving more room to edit the question/Answer.

|

It's narrower than the page in order to leave room for the auto-suggestions.

Very confusing.
Your 'this advert...' link now points to a totally different article.

The link pionts to a message at the bottom of an article. I imagine once that message got deleted, the link defaulted to the article.

for the article tags on the home page.
Now I can skip all those nasty .NET articles that Nish warned me about.

I like it. (positive reinforcement)
One thing, though, and I can't quantify this but could we not have the original poster name on the same line as the subject with the updater (if any) moved down to the same line as the pretty new tag indicators. As I say, I can't quantify this but I really found it odd not having the original poster information. (hopefully constructive criticism)
