Here's an image-only post.

@user21820 The post was deleted (revisions/timeline), so the star from that message can be removed when it's visible in the sidebar.

meta.SE: Allow cancelling of stars from message

Martin Sleziak

05:07

Ok, it's probably rather lame approach, but by changing zoom I've managed to get to the position that I saw the post on my starboard and unstarred it.

@MartinSleziak It's incredible. I never thought of that! Thanks for the trick! =)

@SimplyBeautifulArt I don't know what to do with this one; the asker is not asking for any solutions, but asking how to figure out the "+" or "−" signs that are missing from the figures due to bad printing. The asker may have thought that we might be able to mathematically deduce what they are supposed to be...

@amWhy @SimplyBeautifulArt: The asker has now added context. I think it's reasonable to undelete and reopen.

@SimplyBeautifulArt <− Thanks! We just need one more for both it and the other one. Could anyone else (@akhmeteni @MartinSleziak @MetaEd) help to downvote them?

I guess the zoom trick is not ideal - we only get limited number of messages. But it's better than nothing.

user21820

Yeap.

This post is not-an-answer but my flag got disputed and the post remained. I've tried asking here before but didn't manage to get help (downvote and delete). Trying for the second time! =)

@MartinSleziak Hey I just found the following solution (for greasemonkey users)!

A: Allow cancelling of stars from message

Until this gets implemented you can use the following userscript to cancel stars as a room owner from the transcript: // ==UserScript== // @name Unstar/unpin for room owners // @namespace http://stackoverflow.com/users/578411/rene // @version 0.1 // @description unstar // @autho...

Martin Sleziak

Well, that's (answer to) the question I linked above. However, I do not user GreaseMonkey. (Maybe I should learn how to use it.)

user21820

Oh oops I didn't notice that message of yours. =S

Martin Sleziak

07:29

No problem, as a one-boxed message it's better visible. The question is whether some of the users who plan to frequent that room knows what to do wit a userscript.

I upvoted that feature request.

user21820

You simply have to install GreaseMonkey and then create a new user script and paste that script in. This specific script specifies that it would be loaded on every SE chat page after it has been loaded (or refreshed).

The only problem with userscripts is that most people don't understand it and hence it can potentially lead to unknowingly running malware. I have read it and affirm that it is clean, but nobody can verify my claim without also understanding it...

Martin Sleziak

From what you wrote it seems that you have GM, so while you're be visiting the room, there probably should not be problem with removing old stars which are no longer needed.

Maybe one day, when I have more time, I'll try GM myself.

user21820

@MartinSleziak Yes I have just tested it out (on the transcript) and it seems to work.

Martin Sleziak

Glad to here it.

*hear no here (My incapability of writing a correct English sentence is sometimes frustrating.)

@SimplyBeautifulArt The question is deleted now - revisions/timeline. So I removed the star.

@Did (i missed the notfying @) i did not totally understand your comment "Asking the OP in a comment to their answer was not an option because? (You did not even signalled them you were discussing the merits of their answer elsewhere, so much for courtesy." . Even after looking in the meta it is still unclear on how i can do that. Please see for example how I am struggling to reach you for info right at this very moment.

Have a nice day everyone, I just happened to be here by chance. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Martin Sleziak

09:42

To add a bit of context this seems related to this:

Asking the OP in a comment to their answer was not an option because? (You did not even signalled them you were discussing the merits of their answer elsewhere, so much for courtesy.) — Did 40 mins ago

The site tells me i need 50 reputation to comment a post. Also the user Sasha (the one who came with the answer) did seem to come sporadically on the site when i looked at the frequency of his answers and questions. (1 every ~ month) and did not want to bother him for a 4 year old answer. And i am also unaware on the best practices of the site. The introducing tour doesn't tell you every step and etiquette. When writing any doc, I do put references but i do not send a notice to the author. I assumed it was the same here. Sorry if I was wrong. — RandowMalk 27 mins ago

@RandowMalk I will admit that the formulation in help might be a bit unclear: "Please note that you can always comment on your own posts, and any part of your questions." IIRC you can comment on answers to your post - this is probably what is meant by any part of your questions.

Oh, I see this is related to answer on somebody else's question.

@MartinSleziak Hi @MartinSleziak Actually yes. I am a new logged user (but have been gathering answers mainly on stackoverflow on the site for a year). The issue was about copyrighting answers for a question that directly is derivated from that answer.

@MartinSleziak xD You can view all the stars by clicking the "show all" on the starboard

@user21820 I don't feel like its a math question though

Martin Sleziak

@SimplyBeautifulArt Yes, I know. But I can unstar/unpin them there. (See the meta.SE links above.)

Simply Beautiful Art

@MartinSleziak can't*?

Martin Sleziak

can't

Simply Beautiful Art

Mmm, okay

Martin Sleziak

@SimplyBeautifulArt BTW the OP also posted on meta - although they did not explicitly linked to this question: Elementary questions

Simply Beautiful Art

13:20

Ah, okay

Martin Sleziak

BTW I'd guess that something like this has been asked in the past a few times. For example, this looks similar: Gram matrix invertible iff set of vectors linearly independent

Martin Sleziak

13:40

@user21820 I voted to undelete. When is $MM^T$ invertible? - revisions/timeline.

We'll see what happens with the question next - perhaps the OP will clarify the question a bit. But at least while it is not deleted, it's possible to add links to other posts about the same problem in a comment.

Simply Beautiful Art

This post is a one-liner, and should actually be a fairly straight-forward direct substitution.

user21820

13:56

@SimplyBeautifulArt @amWhy: It's now open for deletion.

@SimplyBeautifulArt I think you meant to respond about a different post? The M·M^T question is a math one. The one about missing signs isn't, yes, but it's not obvious?

In any case, it's already deleted so never mind.

@user21820 Oops, my bad

user21820

@SimplyBeautifulArt I don't get it; why can't owners of their post delete?

Simply Beautiful Art

Idk

Daniel Fischer

14:34

@user21820 They can, but not if they're using the android app. No "delete" link there.

Simply Beautiful Art

@DanielFischer And yet another limitation for the android app.

Actually, I do think I recall not having that ability on mobile

user21820

@SimplyBeautifulArt @DanielFischer Ahh okay I didn't know that. Thanks!
