Most probably not a bug but my stupid me: The signature that I entered in my profile-settings doesn't show in my forum posts. When I re-open my settings, it's there. I couldn't find anything in a FAQ about it - what am I missing?

Thanks, Chris!

We need a jedi icon!
Something like Yoda in robes with a lightsaber or something.
I propose the hamsters of CP could already mock up something for the 4th of May[^] for our mascotte in the top left corner as a proof of concept and use that design for a real icon to be used in messages.
again just a suggestion...

I already have it. I've had it for years.

Probably, so why not use it in the message section next to the other icons?

Enable profile popups and you should see it every time you hover over my details.

You can tick this one[^] off the list as well now.

It's a CDN. If you look at the source of this page, you'll see that most of the images and stylesheets are loaded from that domain.

Basic Difference Between Local Storage and Session Storage in HTML 5[^]
I just asked author about my doubts as the title says "Difference between..." and there is not a single difference mentioned on the page. When i received response that he uploaded some images but that's not visible at the moment, i found the content has approved version. I'm still not clear why to accept that as Tip/Trick.
QA is already a big mess. If we will start approving even such Articles/Tips, that will strongly affect the overall quality of this site. I think, it has started already e.g. you can have content like this[^] and this[^] as Tip/Trick.

This has been debated many times and was even the object of a poll[^]. A lot of people are seeking Internet reputation or CP reputation just by getting their mate to approve of their articles.
In a nutshell, so far:
- Making public who has approved or rejected an article is, for some reasons I still cannot understand, considered a bad thing. I am convinced it would slow down a little bit the BS approving, for instance because people farming rep points would be clearly identified.
- The reputation points to allow moderation should be set higher, and the moderation privilege shall only rely on technical inputs. I usually take my own case as an example : I should not be allowed to approve or reject articles, since I got this privilege solely from having upvoted posts in the Lounge, which is certainly not an evidence of me having the skills to decide whether a content is appropriate and relevant for the site.
- Filtering quality early in the chain (so reducing the total amount of articles) is not an objective of CP(*) : CP lives thanks to traffic, e.g. number of people visiting, not thanks to content quality, e.g. number of people being happy with content or effectively finding something useful here. The more articles, the more hits on google search, and the more hits on google search, the more traffic... Sorting out bad from good content is done by people up and downvoting articles once published.
(*)This is my understanding of it.

This is debatable. If I google for info and go to a place in several ocasions just to waste my time. It will get into my black list and won't go back "just to check if now is better"
In other words, I prefer fewer but better.

Depends who you talk to.
I'll review and make an ill-advised, arbitrary snap decision on which way it should go.
