Q: Could we have better notifications for questions in which we participated?

I have been using Stack Overflow every day for the past 8 years (I mean, actually every single day), and I still feel I know very little about what happened to the questions I contributed to. The issues described here were reported before, but bear repeating in 2016. (Context: "Second Iteration ...

@Jean-philippeEmond What is the deprecated function?

Jean-philippe Emond

for the moment.. I didn't know.. I just have that:

Notice: registration.php is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 3.1 with no alternative available. This file no longer needs to be included. in ...\wp-includes\functions.php on line 3784

toscho

That's a file, not a function.

And you really don't need it

Jean-philippe Emond

rho.. I see.. I have that:
require_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/registration.php');
to use : username_exists

The whole user registration/authentication code in WP is a mess. I've wasted endless hours on that.

used to try, but working with amateurs without getting paid for it is getting boring at some time. Being on the wrong timezone to participate on slack doesn't help as well.

I am actually banned from commenting on the make blog because pento got personaly offended when I said the is proposal for reaction emojis instead of comments is idiotic

trac makes me sad, that’s all

my "contribution" challenge for next week is to try to explain to the customizer guy why the partial preview can not work for anything not trivial and that to make it work you basically need to violate both DRY and the core idea that a preview should be of what is actually going to be render on the live site

And this just to try and make him add an API so I will be able to opt-in into the shortcut icon without doing partials

seems like he think that if he will not provide the API themes will have to implement partials
