I was going to mark this[^] as spam and accidentally hit the Approve button. there appears to be no way to reverse my mistake. I did go back in and was allowed to mark as spam but it seems that i have now marked it twice.
Also, would be nice to what others have marked it as.

Thanks. It appears now.

can we write a select query[^]
I just reported this question and found that the some of the left most content of the page is not visible (or I'd say cut).
Though it's a minor bug to draw attention towards it.
I've seen this before (look weird) and you can check the page in the given link.
Hope you guys solve it
Cheers

Sometimes (a lot of times in fact) questions closed, and I do agree that there is a reason for that...However may come a fourth person (after 3 agreed to close it), who has some valuable comment/solution to share...It maybe a good option to let him open it up (but only if there is a post!)...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

It happens sometime that third one doesn't get displayed. Reports required to close the question is still 3. I may be wrong because i've stopped reporting anything in QA since 9th Oct.

I think Rohan is right - if the other people don't use the same closure reason, they won't appear in this list.

Hi,
I like the highlighting of new messages, and of fora containing new messages. However, what has been irking me for too long is that I have no control over the definition of "new". I tend to stay logged in (but not with a browser open) and when the system decides it's time to log me in again "today" (or whatever triggers it), I lose the flags of what's new.
Suggestion: As a user option (profile setting?), allow the "new means since ...." timestamp to be sticky until the user updates it to "now". So I could come in, look around the stuff that has appeared while I was asleep, then click "OK I've seen that lot". Then next time I come in, I see what I consider new.
Cheers,
Peter

I agree.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

One small point: what sort of UI would make sense here? A button on your profile that locks/unlocks the "last visit" flag, or a button at the bottom of the page "mark all read"? A combo?

Would that apply to the entire site, the current forum, the current page of the current forum, or something else?
Whichever you choose, I think it's likely to cause confusion.
How about an option to temporarily override the "last visit" date/time? And store it in a session cookie, so that restarting the browser restores the default behaviour - no need for an "unlock" button.

Me too
Richard Deeming wrote: How about an option to temporarily override the "last visit" date/time?
I'm guessing this means "when I open a new page, I want a button that would set the "last visit" value back to the value it was before I visited". This is possible.
But...
Richard Deeming wrote: And store it in a session cookie
This is the kicker. The original message discussed an issue where the browser was left open for long periods. After 20 mins your session expires so if a browser was left open then the session expires and nothing's stored. We could store the value in local storage or a JavaScript var and carry that around, but that seems...clunky.
What would be *really* good is a per-message flag that says whether or not the message has been read - which is hugely resource intensive and not worth the pain and cost.

I was thinking more of a pop-up to enter a custom date and time for the "last visit" value. Possibly triggered from the "indicates new messages since" area.
But obviously I appreciate these things are much easier to say than they are to implement!
Chris Maunder wrote: After 20 mins your session expires
No, that the server's session. I mean a "session cookie" (aka "in-memory", "transient" or "temporary" cookie) - one with no expiration date set. They're stored until the browser closes, and aren't connected to the server's session.

Agreed.

That might work. And yeah - a session cookie (as opposed to server session storage) would do it.
I just wonder how many would actually use this feature...

If only there was some way of posting a poll on the homepage to ask!

Now why didn't I think of that. What an awesome feature that'd be.

I was envisaging a small button near where it says "new messages since..." Label? something like "update" or "set to now". And a profile page checkbox to opt in to the whole thing. That seemed to me to be minimal impact, given that you obviously keep a per-member timestamp anyway. I just got annoyed by the auto-update mechanism (whatever it is) marking a whole bunch of stuff "not new" when I hadn't browsed the fora.
Looking at the other discussion on this thread, I never envisaged you'd consider per-member per-message. O(n^2) and all that.

Peter
