There's a bug, sadly. Apologies. I fixed the images.

Hi Sean,

Thanks for fixing them for me. So, is it like every time I will have to ask you for help?
Also, I saw some one posted a comment in my article saying that my download links were not working but I am not able to find that comment anywhere anymore. Can you tell me where can I find it? Is this also a bug?

Thanks & Regards,
Deepak Bisht

Thanks Sean. Also, one more thing. I saw some one posted a comment in my article saying that my download links was not working but I am not able to find that comment anywhere anymore. Can you tell me where can I find it, so that I can reply to that comment? Is this also a bug?

Thanks & Regards,

It's possible you posted that comment while the article was in Pending status. After the article goes live the comments get wiped, which is by design because often in Pending articles the comments are about the pre-live version and do not apply to the final article.

Hi Sean,

Thanks. It makes sense. But one more question related to that. If some one gives a good/bad rating when an article is in pending status, will that get wiped off as well?

Thanks,
Deepak

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

In How can I get a youtube channel's(not mine) total views count and subscribers count using java ?[^], my comment was apparently entered 2 hours before the question. Confused | :confused:

It's been edited by someone - I doubt the OP would add the "no effort" tag!
So the bug is that the editor isn't shown, just the OP (presumably with the edit time)

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Well spotted, I missed the tag change.

"Someone", eh? Poke tongue | ;-P

The editor isn't shown because it only counts as a minor change.

Now click the "Show Minor Revisions" and you'll see who actually did it.
Why my name is on it at all, I'm not sure - I don't remember editing it (or even reading it!)

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Why am I not surprised? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

I'm sure Chris asked everyone to avoid "shame-tagging". Maybe it's time for a quiet word...

Why not dump old questions?

Not only that, but I keep deleted the no-effort tag.

Close a question or down-vote it. Don't insult the poster.

Just a thought, but if a question is still unanswered after a period (three months? Six? A year?) perhaps we should quietly delete it.

That way, a search via google doesn't come up with a frustrating unanswered question, and rep hunters aren't tempted to answer it for the rep points? It seems unlikely that it's still relevant to the OP after that amount of time (and it'd free up space in your DB).

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

How about a slight variation: email the OP to say you're about to delete the question, with a link to click if the question is still relevant. If they don't click the link within 30 days, delete the question.

Answered = "Has an answer posted" or "has an accepted answer posted"?
