Sometimes there are articles in the article moderation queue, that were Tips before, but then it still shows:
This is a new version of the currently published article
I suggest that it shows "This is a new version of the currently published tip" if the currently published version is a tip but the new version is an article.

 I agree. As it is now, I always open up the "currently published" article to check if the type was changed from Tip to Article.

OK, I've confirmed this is a bug. When I reply to this message, I don't see the sig I saved when I posted my original note.

Been there, seen it - Chris has lost his at some point, too.

Can you please clarify?
When you post a reply you don't see the sig on your reply or on your original note? I'm assuming you mean on the reply.
(And I'm replying to you so we'll see if my sig appears...
...and look at that! No sig. OK, looks like a regression. Will fix.)

Thanks! It also seems to have disappeared from "My Settings".

Turns out I didn't have a sig.
Did you have a sig before you replied, and then the sig was deleted from your profile?

Yes, I've always had a sig (see my message history). This could be related to the bug that causes unintended nulling of some user properties. This occured to me (and others) a few days ago.

This[^] is the earlier regression I was alluding to.

That's a different issue. And one that was logically impossible as well. As all software bugs are...

I reckon to have lost my sig earlier this year already (got myself a new one) and I also reckon you having lost your sig earlier this year, already.

Yep.
But now my sig stubbornly refuses to get lost.

I lost mine only once this year - Did you change your profile settings after Jan 1st?

Just tried it out - searching there is probably lost time.

Can it get lost if you are composing a messages, accidentally click "Click to edit signature" and somehow remove it? I lost my sig at some point a few months ago and I figured that is what my fat fingers had done while using my phone.
[BTW, I am testing that thought with this post]
[EDIT]
I guess not, it looks like the sig is there when I go to post a new message.
Nothing to see here. Move along.

The task list shows this bug as "Unable to repro", yet I just repro'd it[^] a few seconds ago.

I re-added my sig to my profile (Forums tab). The sig now shows up in the message editor but only when I add some content. Previously, the preview always displayed the signature. IMHO, that's a bug not a feature.
Also, the disappearance of my sig (and some aspect of my professional profile - which caused me to lose my Professional icon - is also a bug).
Thanks,

The message preview only starts when you start adding content. Your sig isn't content.
The loss of Profeessional status is on the TODO list[^].

If the original poster decided to delete their question, I don't think anything can be done about that (?), but if someone else deleted this QA question: [^], then I protest.
The post may have been a re-post of this by the same poster: [^].
The OP asked a reasonable question about drawing a graph-paper like background. There was already one pretty good answer posted showing how to this with the GDI+ and the Paint Event in Win Forms, a response I had upvoted.
And, I spent fifteen-minutes writing up a detailed answer showing how to use freely available public-domain grid-pattern files to quickly construct 24-bit .png files with transparency that are very small in size, and use those as background images.
Now, I can't find my answer to archive it for my files.

I'm with you on this - Spam and *very* poor gimme codez posts should be cleaned [talking about one or three line questions, without existing code posted] - All others shall stay where they are. Even then I think *deleting* is the wrong way, can't we just close it [content is still displayed, but no comments and answers can be posted].

I totally agree, so +5!
However, there is a way to get back an answer to a deleted question:
- You have a link. Is it a link to a question? Go to step 2. Is it a link to an answer? Go to step 5.
- Find the question ID of the question. It's the number in the URL.
- Go to
/script/Articles/ListAlternatives.aspx?aid=<question ID> - Choose your answer. You'll go to a page that shows "Sorry, the item you requested could not be found."
- Now, find the answer ID. It will be the number in the URL in the address bar.
- Go to
/script/Articles/ListVersions.aspx?aid=<answer ID>. There are all revisions of your answer listed. - Go to the latest revision and there you'll see your answer.
So, for you, your answer is here[^]
