I disagree.
Take this scenario:
- open up a Q&A page, like this one[^]
- don't click anything
- hover any comment delete widget in answer1; for all of them the browser shows the same URL (makes me wonder); didn't test delete functionality any further.
- hover any comment edit widget in answer1; for all of them the browser shows the same URL (makes me wonder)
- click one comment edit widget; yes, the right text appears in the edit window;
- now click cancel
- click another comment edit widget; the previous text appears again, not the one of the comment clicked.
BTW: in the process, suddenly the URL gets an "#answer1" appended, which it shouldn't. I get a feeling you are (ab)using cookies to implement something here. I don't think that is good. IMO the normal way would be to have each widget add a different parameter to the URL, and act on that.
FYI: it also looks as if anybody can change any comment, not only his own, without this being reflected in the name(s) of the comment author. It has been like that, and I think it still is. This is a no no for me.

We're using a very obscure and potentially evil technology called Javascript.

That URL was there from the beginning. It's an HTML anchor tag. It makes the page scroll to the answer to which you linked. If you want to go to the main (original) question, you need to use its permalink: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/78966/Get-Enum-Data-Values.aspx[^]

Incorrect

This is called "moderation rights" that you have because of your status.

Yes, I considered that as a possibility. Makes me wonder why we get to see a URL (e.g. in the FF status bar) for a widget when it isn't a hyperlink.

I'm glad it isn't cookie based. The fact remains I'm often getting the wrong content in the edit window, except for the first time I click such widget on a Q&A page.
Chris Maunder wrote: This is called "moderation rights"
I understand moderation; I can accept others can change text and see their name added, as in the questions and answers of Q&A itself. I do not accept others can change text that only shows my name WITHOUT their name being added, as in Q&A comments.

Take a look at the underlying HTML and you'll see.

This is out next point of investigation.

When voting on articles it provides a place to put a comment in if you give a vote of less than 3.
In the last two/three days I've just received a bunch of 1/5 votes on a collection of tips/tricks I posted, but people don't leave feedback as to why. While I don't have a problem with a deserved low-vote, it kinda sucks when you're not given the opportunity to improve the text based on someone's suggestion.
What do others think? Should you be required to leave a comment when you're low-voting someone else's work?

Recently i have noticed that on very rare occasions and apparently random times, the Lounge link in the top green menu bar right side is replaced by SoapBox.
The last time i noticed this it was on web24, i never noticed what servers were active on previous occassions.

Tis not a bug... It's a stealth feature. Try pressing your ctrl key, and peeking at the top right.

Oh yeh!
I guess it must just get stuck sometimes then during the page load.

Is that a bug!  I thought it was like it... sometimes you see Lounge.. sometimes Soapbox (btw i noticed this most of the times while in Q&A forum...)

I don't mind you not showing reputation categories where no points have been earned yet. However not showing the earnings for people who try their hardest and come out negatively is discrimination pure and simple. Here[^] is but one example.

BRING BACK THE NEGATIVE VALUES!
It gives the rest of us something to point at and laugh.

In fear of a class action or human rights suit against us, I've capitulated and will no longer engage in such brutal discrimination. Negative points will now be shown.

Looks like you changed your email address but haven't reconfirmed it. You would have been seeing lots of bright yellow bars at the tops of forums reminding you to do this. I've resent a confirmation email. Click the link and it will prove your email is good.
We send emails only to addresses we know are good and that you control. We hate spam.

Got the confirmation email. Thanks for sorting that out for me. I'm sure that'll sort the insider emails.

Couple of things:
1. When someone comments to my answer, i get notified. Now there is no way to reply back OP comment, instead i have to use comment to my answer only. Doesn't look a correct flow.
2. Does the OP get an email or so, that i have replied back to OP's comment?
The work flow needs to be more clear. Currently, it looks like, comments to my answer looks like just comments to my answer instead of a full conversation between someone and me!

The comment feature was specifically designed to leave a comment against an item, not to comment on comments. Each comment that is posted will result in an email being sent to the author or authors of the item to which the comments are attached.
However, you've raised a good point (replying to comments) and we're discussing this now.

Apart from that, can you just confirm if Enquirer gets an email if the answer is updated? If not, then it should be as that would be the only way right now that can tell Enquirer about any change.
