Today when I was looking at a question, I had a response in mind which I couldn't pin to either a comment or an answer. I decided to post it as a comment which was a mistake and I immediately deleted the comment and posted it as an answer.
Now the comment still shows(when I'm logged in) and says that it was deleted but is this normal? Should it still be unnecessarily shown to the user who deleted it?

It has always been like this...as far as I can remember. The hamsters will have to answer your question whether or not it should be like this.

Oh I see. It doesn't look that good though.

Whoops I didn't catch this when I read the bugs list first:
Task 892 Do not show 'Show deleted' when no deleted comments exist
I guess this might be the one or am I just confusing everything?

No that's the button that hides or shows deleted items for users with the right permissions.
But you'll still see it (of course you can use that button to hide them )

If I'm not mistaken this grew over time.
Deleted answers (back when comments where not yet implemented) used to be deleted for real but this caused all sorts of problems and weirdness with indexes and such.
So now deleted answers / comments don't get deleted for real just hidden for everyone except the OP (or users with permissions to see the deleted items)
I think this is the intended behavior but you'll have to wait for Chris to confirm this.

We've never deleted comments, we just set them as "deleted".
The issue was we used to hide them but then members wanted a way to undelete them, so we showed them. Then they complained it was noisy, so we hide them and provided a button to show/hide them. Then they complained more and so we made "show" the default.

Whoa that would have caused all sorts of problems for the Hamsters alright. I suppose this is a normal functionality then.

and barely moving. upstate new york if that makes a difference (server location?).
Also, every time I vote for something it takes 30-45 seconds to finish...this goes for bookmarking as well. It takes about 45 secs to a minutes to see the reputation graph. All other sites I go to are working just fine and my internet connection is good.

I think there were very few instances for me where the page didn't even load at all. Very few though so I guess that doesn't count as something big. Other than that it was fine for me.

We've just had a full code update so it was slow while it was spooling up, and also during the periods when we turned off half the servers. The database was also updated and it didn't like that at all. Not one bit.
should be good now.

Web22 very slow loading Lounge: > 40 secs.

Web19 seems to be still suffering, took more than a min to load the lounge.

Not sure, may be just me, but CP is too slow right now.
Last hour an half... have got 'Page cannot be displayed' numerous times, in IE. Any message or comment is taking time to get posted.

I have just edited a Q in Q&A and on posting got the error message above.
I therefore had to add something to the OPs subject in order to get it accepted.
This seems a bit arbitrary.

It used to be 15-150 but I increased it.
Is it truly possible for the average user to ask a sensibly titled question in under 30 characters? Is it that difficult to think for 5 seconds and clarify your question to make up 30 characters?
Anything that makes people stop and think about their question is good in my books. Frankly I'm fed up with people not bothering to even try and ask a sensible question, let alone searching CodeProject or Google first.

Fairy snuff.
In that particular case I thought the original subject was OK, though.

I agree with the minimum - 30 is about right - but perhaps the max is too long? 150 chars is a lot of words: more than some put into the whole question!
It isn't meant to be the whole question, just enough of a "taster" that you can tell if you know about the subject before you open it. Plus shorter subject equals better looking summary page - just a thought.
How about 30-80 characters?
Oh, and can we have the age of the question back, for unanswered questions?
