In Q&A, the 'Add your solution here' input box, the vertical scroll is now invisible (only 1px remain visible).
Something have changed in sizes recently.

Looks fine to me in Firefox 76.0.1:
Is your browser window less than 1280px wide? Or have you zoomed in? Perhaps the box is being covered by the side-bar.

I have seen that our colleague @0x01AA is a MVP, but his logo didn't change and the MVP-Icon is not listed in his profile (I would have expected it to be by the "professional" icon)

Perhaps this is because I feel that I am not authorized to be selected as an MVP, as there are many others who deserve this attribute more.
Either way thanks for this.

Actually that is not correct. MVP's are selected based on their overall contribution to the site, and your award is well merited.

It seems this year the icons hadn't been updated...
I'm no MVP for this year but still got the icon...

I don't know in the Q&A but I am not getting (or they are being delayed a lot) the notifications of the S&A messages of you answering me.

In S&A I receive notifications on your comments more or less immediately. At least this is true for the recent "conversations" there

Probably a stupid question but in Spam & Abuse forum, why the links do not change colour once the page is visited? For example a link to a profile page is always shown as blue, visited or not.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm guessing, based on my very limited knowledge of such things, that a colorized link is provided by your browser consulting its history. And that, for some reason, the links in question are fake, and are in reality front-ends to something that redirects to the target without your browsing knowing.

No, there is definitely something in the CSS for the S&A section which prevents visited links from appearing as visited. If you watch for the link of a visited member page in the Who's who section, for example, you can see this link as visited.
I had asked the same question here months ago, but never got any answer.

Because this CSS rule:
.content a {
color: #005782;
} has a higher specificity than this rule:
a:visited {
color: #800080;
} and there are no other rules applied to the links.

Ah, now I understand, thank you!

I've been trying a few times now to enter a question. When I submit, I get an error message about an internal error. Any ideas?
|

This seems to happen from time to time. I suspect it's when some scheduled maintenance task is running. The problem usually goes away after a while.

We've been trying to track down this and similar issues for quite some time. Something is overloading the servers in a way that impacts the system's ability to handle the database responses in a timely fashion, and the requests fail.
It goes away eventually, which of course is both a blessing and a curse. This work now, but then we can't recreate the issue.
We'll find it eventually. We always do.

As I said below:
Quote: The Article is potentially useful
I don't click "approve" if I don't think it.
Because if it is formally correct and doesn't miss the other points, it is still not a MUST approve from my side.
I don't approve if I don't think it might be usefull.
I don't approve if I don't understand minimally the content.
I don't approve if I think it contains errors of thinking.
I don't approve if I think it is yet another guy reinventing the wheel.
I don't approve if I see content that google gives a couple of times in the first result page.
But I don't report them to get them nuked, because the item is not failing the "try to publish" directives.
Is there a time limit for moderation?
I mean...
if after X days still not approved gets discarded?
If there is none. It could be interesting to see the experiment of adding such a time limit (let's say one week or two) and a "Neutral report" (that can be clicked without saying it is wrong) would be used. I mean something like "OK, I have read it, it is not that bad / is OK, but I am not feeling to approve it"
I think many people just approve because they think they "have to click on something".

There's no systematic time limit, but either Sean or myself will nuke (or fix) articles that have hung around for more than a day or 2.

Are really that useful?
Quote: The Article has no major formatting issues (missing images, formatting issues etc)
If I see them I report "needs help >> format / Layout issues" and don't click approve.
Quote: The Article has no major spelling and/or grammar issues
It is not so esay to fnid tehm bcuesae yuor biran suhlod be cabpale to rroeder the letrtes wehn reading.
And if I find them I tell it the author in the message board (already have found some that were a couple of years undercovered)
On the other hand, this sometimes is difficult for non-natives moderators.
Quote: The item matches the definition of 'Article'
If not I report "needs help / Wrong Type" and don't approveQuote: The purpose and goal of the Article is clear
If not I tell the user or report "unclear / incomplete"
Quote: The Article is potentially useful
I don't click "approve" if I don't think it.
Quote: The Article is appropriate for this audience, and does not contain inappropriate content
If I thought it is not appropiate I would report "unclear", if it contains inappropiate content I would report as "poor or off-topic or inaccurated" depending on what fits best.
I still see people approving articles where there are already some reports of format / missing images / wrong types or things like that. If they are clicking that 6 options although the articles is obviously not complying with at least one of them... what is the value for the checkboxes?
Additionally, my lazyness complains a lot having to do 7 clicks when with 2 (approve and confirm) would be enough.
Having the list there to have a guide / recordatory is fine, but I don't really think the check boxes are an improvement.
