For example there is a popular article posted in 2007 still receiving messages where the author has passed away some years ago. The author has not posted since 2008. Going to the profile to find that out is useful.
There have been other questions about members in the lounge. Again seeing when they were last active gives some clue.
When a regular contributer seems absent from a forum one may ask "when were they last here or anywhere".
[edit] After more thought when they were last logged in would be the real clincher.

In the past couple of days, I've found a few replies to my forum messages which haven't appeared in the notifications list. Is there a bug lurking somewhere?

Hmm - could be a database load issue. Our system for this is a little old and doesn't retry (or queue) notification messages. If there's a glitch right at the time it tries to store a notification then it's screams are lost in the void...

I just had a message moderated in the lounge and noticed that I was directed to the first page of the lounge instead of the page of the message I was replying to.
A minor bug, to be sure, but probably not intended behavior.

Can you please clarify?
You posted a message that went straight into the moderation queue and instead of being sent back to the message you were responding to, you went to the lounge homepage?
cheers

Yes, that is precisely what happened.
When I posted the message, I immediately received email notification that it had been put into the moderation queue, and was directed to the lounge homepage instead of the message to which I was replying.

Yes, thank you for whatever you did. It is accessible now.

Looks like digimanus left some unclosed HTML in his/her comment that has messed up the page.

Strange Behaviour++: While signed in on CP, I see only the deleted comment of digimanus. Not signed in, I see three answers. But an answer from you I don't see.
(Same for IE11 and GoogleChrome).

Likewise: I suspect that if one has the Reputation Points to edit the comment, then the broken comment is displayed as Deleted. However, this eats the remainder of the content.
It won't let me edit the comment; presumably the button linkage is screwed up by the broken comment content.

I can't edit nor delete my answer anymore. Something tells me someone else has to kick my answer from a DB or so
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

I can't even add a comment and post it. Just don't work

But really sure you can't edit the deleted comment and remove all text from it? I can still edit my comments which I deleted.
Anyway, at least you tried it

No. It does not work probably on the misformed html

There is an article in the approval queue when you open it say "This is an auto-saved draft copy of the new unpublished article created by the submission wizard."

Once an Email address is confirmed, is it possible to consider that it stay good as long as the user don't change it and as long as your mails are not rejected ?
and we don't have to confirm again and again and again.

That's the tricky bit. Lots of email servers don't reject: they just stay quiet. Rejecting emails is a way to teach spammers which of their stolen email lists are legit and which are inactive.
Maybe we just send out an automated email every 6 months and just ask you to click it?

How about after 6 months of no activity on the given user id.

I see on advantage to staying in not re-confirmed mail status.
It is that I don't receive anymore notification for my QA activity.

Or you could just go to your profile[^], choose "newsletters and emails" and uncheck "Enable Quick Answers notification emails"
