Yes, the post is finally up in the site. Looks like after the site downtime today, it fetched the blog post.

While I am used to it by now, I've found that every day several users new to the Q&A section don't grasp or properly use the right 'action links': they post a new solution instead of improving their question using the Improve question link in bold green at the lower right of the question, or instead of replying to a solution using the Have a question or Comment link in blue, inside a yellow button-like box at the lower left of the solution, or instead of replying to a comment using the Reply link which is almost invisible (unless you mouseover) at the top right of the comment.
I suppose that some people just don't put enough thought into what link to use, but I feel that this totally inconsistent style of interacting with a question or other elements on a Q&A page adds a lot to the confusion! Apart from that, it looks like three web developers from four independent teams had at least five different opinions on how to implement ways to best confound new users.
To improve matters, my suggestions are:
1. Use labels that indicate the actual action in a more direct way, rather than pose a question, e. g. 'Reply' rather than 'Have a question or comment?'. And use these labels consistently.
2. Consistently use the same color and style for links used to edit or reply to a question, solution, or reply. Preferably one that is actually visible and recognizable as an element that is supposed to be interacted with, without having to mouseover. Personally, I find button-like frames (desktop application style), and blue-colored text (hyperlink style)to be most intuitive.
3. Put them all at the same relative position, e. g. at the bottom left of the element to be interacted with.

It would be very helpfull if we can provide option to draw a table ? so that member can draw a table and represent the answer they want . Just like final table result for query related to database
|

You could always hand code the table, until such a feature is/(if ever) introduced;

Thanks , I know it. But it will in the option then it would be better to design. Is it ?

It doesn't matter who deleted the question. Having looked at your history, I can see that you have posted the same question already. It looks as though whoever deleted it, removed it so that there wasn't a duplicate question which is against the rules of the site.
|
|
|
|
|
Both are different questions 
|
|
|
|
|
I see two options here:
1. Repost the question, and add a note stating it is not related to the other question
or
2. Add this to the other question.

A few points.
I didn't delete this question, I only suggested why it might have been deleted.
The last time you asked for me to undelete your question, I pointed out to you several times that I couldn't.
Please, take the time to read the responses you have been given so that I don't have to repeat this - again.

I've undeleted it

The Daily Insider has a nice format for looking at the articles in the news. I was wondering if you might consider having a link under Features to look at the newest daily insider online. Once I get the insider in my email it clearly has a view online link anyway, so why not make that available as a link in the navbar under Features? I know that I can view the same articles in the News link, but as I said the format is not so nice as the Daily Insider.

I just noticed that, under Comments and Discussions for a given article, the "Last visit" and "Last updated" dates are switched.
For example, I visited the page ^. Under the "Comments and Discussions" section:
Last Visit: 19:11 29 Dec '11
Last Update: 13:35 2 Jan '12
And when I refresh the page, the change becomes:
Last Visit: 21:11 29 Dec '11
Last Update: 15:49 2 Jan '12
Clearly, the Last Update is reflecting the Last Visit, and vice-versa.
|

|

The last visit is the time of your last pageview from your previous session. The last update is set as the time the page was rendered.
The values are correct.

Wasn't there a forum called "Back room" just a couple of days ago?
I don't see it in the forum list on the left side of the screen?
