Confirmed the issue. Might be a bad forum message causing the error.
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???

Looks like it is corrected, thanks!

I managed to add a locked sticky message in my profile page and now I'm unable to edit or remove it. Any ideas how I could get rid of it?

It's not really instantaneous. The aggregator checks each day. And it likes to think long and hard about all things. And sometimes it drinks heavily and forgets things and needs smack. If it doesn't show up tomorrow I'll see if I can smack it.

Hmm I smacked it and it didn't help. I looked again at the feed. Is it still showing the full feed in there? It needs to in order to pull it. The aggregator only looks at the text in the feed so it needs every word from every entry in there, if you please.
Thanks,

Okay, thanks for the hint. This was the problem: we had defined a (Drupal) view with limited content of the article body, which unintentionally affected the atom feeds (by limiting the content of the feeds' description element).

Why is a message posted to an invitation only group being moderated??? Makes no sense.

Two reasons:
1. Anyone can post spam. Accounts get hijacked, members abuse the system. It's rare - very rare - but it's happened.
2. I haven't put in place a "this is a private group so don't spam check".
I was actually thinking about this over the weekend with my finger over the keyboard to enable this spam-check-opt-out. Maybe I'll just add it and see what happens.

True.

I had not considered that.

Never!

I think that would work. The other members of the group or the group admin would quickly punish any offenders.
BTW, it was odd as I had juts posted something that had a link which went straight through but this got held up. Was it because your spam filter is set to barf on mention of the Trump?

Spam checking no longer applies to private groups

A simple code block to reproduce:
var re = /'/;
Everything after the quote is highlighted with the purple color that indicates a string, but this shouldn't happen because there is no string: it's just a quote in a regex literal.
Can this please be fixed?

Should be good in a few minutes (IF you specify Javascript as the "lang" attribute)

Once again I commented/answered a Question which is old e.g. (2012) by mistake.
I think I'm not the only one who struggle on this.
Would be nice to "highlight"/mark questions older than "now - x".
"Highlight" is maybe wrong, should more be "downlight"...my English 
[Edit]
Similar history here, but here a rep hunter seems to give an answer and deleted it more or less immediately.

I'm not sure why we need to discriminate against older questions. If it's unanswered then an answer (finally!) is good. If a better answer is discovered, or an answer that uses a newly released feature is also good.

Explain this to some members who downvote this immediately. I really try not to do it (answering old Q), but sometimes it happens, because I do not pay enough attention to the date ...
Anyway not a really important thing, only a nice to have.

I guess it comes down to what QA is meant to be:
If it's meant to be a resource where people can find the answer to a problem that someone else has previously faced, then providing better answers to old questions makes sense. But then, shouldn't we be more aggressively kicking off the crap questions - the "do my work for me", the "nowhere near enough detail (after being asked for more detail)", the "totally off-topic", the reposts, etc?
It's not friendly to new posters, but the person searching for an answer doesn't want to wade through 500 pages of unanswered questions, or questions where the answer is a link to a now-deleted blog post, or a link to another unanswered question, or an explanation of why this isn't a good question / why we don't do your homework for you / where to go to hire someone to write your code.
However, if it's meant to be a place where people can ask a question and get an answer, without the unfriendly reputation of StackOverflow, then answering old questions doesn't really make any sense. Even if there isn't an accepted solution, it's unlikely that the user is still waiting for an answer three years later. Old questions should be closed, and if there isn't an answer, removed from the site.
Just my £0.02.

This message First MVC Application for Beginners[^] came up in moderation as possible spam - but it could have been legit, without the context in which it was posted you can't tell.
And the only context you get is
posted as a message on this article "Url Mapping in MVC for Beginner's"
Which is no longer the title of the article (if it ever was, I don't know) so an Article Search can't find it. So I had to let it through, then follow the member messages to get to the article to check the context. At which point it's obvious it's site driving spam.
Could we have the title text be a link to the article or message it's a reply to rather than the article name? Just to help us understand the context with dubious cases?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Normal forum messages already have a "view parent message" or something like that, articles not yet (dunno if it is in the ToDo)
