They are just getting worse in their awfulness.
We're adding a "Report member" feature Monday.

I'd like to submit a brief survey of some free anti-malware tools, since that subject seems to come up quite a bit in the Lounge.
My question: where to post it?
These seem to be the most likely places:
1. Third Party Products > Reviews on Third Party Products and Tools
2. Development Lifecycle > Work Issues
Site admins: comments?

Box #1!

I saw that in Q and A, the ability to add comments to solutions has disappeared. Is this a bug?

I see "Add Comment" after each answer (aka, "solution"). Do you see that below answers?

This is totally weird. Yesterday I couldn't see the "Add Comment" link AND the "Reply" link inside a comment as well. I didn't get anything yesterday. Now I rechecked and everything fine. Either some minor bug was present or it's because I use IE8 from work. :S

Whoops, posted this in the Lounge. Moving here...
I thought you fixed the sorting of the top rated answers, but this question seems to have incorrectly sorted answers. Here are the answers in the order they appear:
- My answer. 1 vote of 5 from SAK. Not accepted.
- SAK's answer. No votes. Not accepted.
- JSOP's answer. 2 votes of 5, one of them being from SAK. Accepted.
The order should be:
- JSOP's answer.
- My answer.
- SAK's answer.

Haven't forgotten you - just trying to get the time to dig in.
Got myself a nasty cold so I'm performance degraded at the moment. Debugging continues.

I hear you. Got a nasty cold going around the office here that I'm trying to avoid. Feel better soon.

I created a couple sticky messages in my personal member forum. In one I extended an offer to help with coding and the other was to serve as a way people can post code (in reply messages). However, when I tried replying to one of my messages, I was told that I couldn't because it was sticky.
My recommendation is that you make this a distinct option. So people can select sticky messages and disallow replies using two different checkboxes. Or if you can't do that for some reason, make it more obvious earlier on that replies will not be allowed. For example, but changing the checkbox to say "Make Sticky and Disallow Replies". Another example would be to show "you can't reply to this message because it's sticky" when I first click "reply" rather than waiting until after I've spent all the time to compose a message only to find that I can't post it.

I agree, however making them sticky would leave your messages exactly where they are now. For now.

I will remove the 'reply' button for sticky messages.
The reason we do not allow replies to stickies is because not doing so would mean every time you loaded the page you would have to wade through the same thread each time.

Chris, I suggest you have a coffee, then read this thread again.

"So people can select sticky messages and disallow replies using two different checkboxes. Or if you can't do that for some reason, make it more obvious earlier on that replies will not be allowed."
I'm choosing option #2 because of the explanation I gave. I ended up not removing the reply button, but simply dimming it.
Which bit didn't I understand?

you said "I will remove the 'reply' button for sticky messages." however there currently is no reply button for them, that is exactly what the OP wants you to add, for the personal forum, and at his discretion.

Actually, the "reply" button did exist. I think he already took it away. That was the less preferred option, but it was one I gave (that prevents me from composing a message only to find out I can't post it).
In addition to that, I'd like to have the ability to create sticky threads that allow for replies, if I want (and also keep the ability to make sticky threads that don't allow for replies).

I'm getting even more confused now. There wasn't a reply widget 11 hours ago, when I first replied (and well before Chris did, so if he had changed things, he would/should have said so). So I think I understood your suggestion perfectly and it looked to me Chris did not. And I'm still with you, whether a reply widget gets shown should be independent of whether a message is "sticky".
