Maybe we should have new reopen request thread? The existing one is getting quite long:

in CRUDE, Dec 1 '17 at 6:11, by Martin Sleziak

I wonder whether new reopen request thread should be started in 2018. The current one has 200 answers (225 if you count the deleted ones).

Some time ago, I have also asked in Mods' Office whether new thread (if created) would be dissociated from the OP - so that they do not get that many pings: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/20352?m=42464258#42464258

Of course, it is possible that there are some users that would like to be notified about each new reopen/undelete request.

Or should we wait a bit and create a new thread when this one reaches 250 answer? (Currently there are 239. It is 213 if we count the deleted ones - but I suppose that many users who look into this thread are among the ones who see deleted answers.)

I thought much about questions-answers grid this week (side effect of the situation), maybe in the future I 'll rework some abstract theory of it..

@user21820 Yes, they are many rooms , but chatting is more time consuming than even the main participation, and unfortunately I've seen that in chat rooms there is no MathJax formatting..

user21820

@Widawensen Aha MathJax...

@Mithrandir There's a ChatJax bookmarklet but I state no guarantees that it is clean (no malware) or that it works (I haven't tried it).

I personally just type in plain text.

Widawensen

@user21820 Maybe I'll try some day, thank you for all explanations..

user21820

He came just as I thought about him. =)

Re: I state no guarantees that it is clean (no malware) or that it works.

I can from my own experience confirm that robjohn's bookmarklet math.ucla.edu/~robjohn/math/mathjax.html works in google chrome.

And if somebody is worried that it might be doing something nefarious, it is possible to examine the source code.

Widawensen

@MartinSleziak Martin, you many times gave me good advices, thank you very much..

But I agree with user21820 that discussion about using MathJax in chat is slightly off topic in this room. So I don't object if somebody decides to moe the most recent messages elsewhere. But the question about MathJax in chat arose quite naturally from the discussion before that, so I assume that it is not rally a big deal.

I will also add that robjohn's bookmarklet (and some related stuff) is mentioned in this discussion on meta: Should chat have TeX support?

Widawensen

@MartinSleziak Chat as a chat is more informal, maybe it will remain..

@user21820 Thank you for the invitation, it's interesting room..

@user21820 @MartinSleziak Time for me, see you next time...

Professor Vector

@user21820 I think that part is called "mucking out". ;-)

user21820

@ProfessorVector I'd personally call that room something nicer than "trash", but oh well. Let's leave it at that. =)

@ProfessorVector: And hello here! Have you been here before?

Professor Vector

@user21820 I was here, though not always following the conversation (I'm at work)

user21820

Ah okay.

Professor Vector

@user21820 I was referring more to the content you moved. ;-)

← 3 messages moved from CRUDE

@ProfessorVector: Sorry for moving your messages, but I really do not want to call attention to those messages more than necessary.

You see, I hope everyone will just quiet down and go back to mathematics.

As for your phrase, I understood what you meant, but tried to divert and talk about the destination room name instead. Didn't work. =P

Professor Vector

That would be better, indeed. Most of those messages I shouldn't have written, but... you may have noticed that patience isn't exactly one of my virtues.

user21820

Thanks for your understanding. =)

@ProfessorVector: Anyway, how are things going, outside this site? =)

Professor Vector

at work? not really very well, there's an enigmatic error, and the only one really understanding that stuff is on sick leave

user21820

@ProfessorVector Oh that's a... problem...

Oh if you're at work now I guess I should not disturb you.
