wat?

Stephen Kitt

yeah I’ve noticed more comments from the bot recently

Is that comment the outcome of a review action?

Stephen Kitt

@fra-san I don’t know if they’re related; usually comments from review are associated with the reviewer (and marked “from review”).

Q: Review queue workflows - Final release

All good things must come to an end and so must the review queues project. This project would not have been successful without the community. Thank you all for the hours of reviewing, testing, and sharing your feedback along the way. With that said, this will be our final major release. In this p...

First posts -> first question / answer; "Reviewers are encouraged to leave comments for the post-author, but now they can also choose from a few options of canned feedback which will appear as a comment from the Community account."

Faheem Mitha

I don't understand why they would say it's a final release. Are all the engineers leaving? I skimmed through the question and a couple of the top answers.

Jeff Schaller

I guess "All good things must come to an end", including the scope of that particular project

Faheem Mitha

But the Stack Exchange site still exists, and so do the queues, presumably. Does that mean that they aren't going to make any further improvements or bug fixes, even if they are needed?

Probably be another one in 6-8

@JeffSchaller ah, makes sense, thanks

really silly phrasing on that meta post though, both of the mentioned parts.

@FaheemMitha because there were intermediate iterations posted to MSE

see e.g. first link in that question meta.stackexchange.com/questions/351117/…

@JeffSchaller Thanks!

Jeff Schaller

I don't visit Meta.SE enough, so I often miss things and have to go looking. Would it be helpful/useful if I posted major updates to /dev/chat, or our Meta?

@JeffSchaller I wouldn't know... I think most of the interesting Meta posts end up being featured for some time, which gives them some visibility on the main pages of each site (though, AFICT, more often than not there wouldn't be enough room for all of the featured posts in the community bulletin).

@JeffSchaller I guess you could create a feed here that posts featured MSE posts

Jeff Schaller

@AndrasDeak technology?!? solving a problem?!? Will have to look into that...

Q: Unpinning the accepted answer from the top of the list of answers

Today we changed the way we sort answers on Stack Overflow. We no longer pin the accepted answer (with the green checkmark) to the top of the list of answers. By default, we now sort strictly by votes (descending order by highest score), and the accepted answer's order in the list is based on its...

Q: Profile image changes (Gravatar images won’t be recoverable after email change)

Please save and re-upload your Gravatar image if you want to keep it going forward. Hi, everyone! I’m Felippe Rangel, a software engineer at Stack Overflow, and I...
