So what had happened...

Greetings all,

You may remember the mysterious appearance of Facebook likes alongside Answerbag likes in answers last week. Well, we didn't like (pun intended) those any more than you did, so they should be gone for good. In the process of fixing that last weekend, we broke the question categorization tool, but that's now back too. Thanks everyone for your reports, and for your opinions, from polite to passionate ;).

Of course, we now have reports that the Questions page isn't updating; the workaround for now is to view the live feed on the home page, though doing so lets you view answers as well as questions.

Thanks and happy Answerbagging,
Rich

  • Many thanks always, Rich. You didn't have to take the time to explain...but you did! That calls for deserved admiration. From the many...from me...you got it, the admiration, that is, including, as gtravels said, the diplomacy! Don't think it goes unnoticed.

  • Thanks so much, Rich! I'm glad to hear that you guys don't like those Facebook "like" buttons, either! This news made my evening. It's also great to hear, yet again, that you guys are on top of things and are listening.

  • Please get rid of all Facebook icons!

    Do you have a concrete number of how many people use them? Are they just there so you look like you're up-to-date?

  • Why are my early questions disappearing one by one off the list in my profile? I can see that my question about star signs - which I posted only about 2 months ago - is going to be the next one to disappear. I'm still getting occasional answers to that question. I commented on an answer to it yesterday and I am still waiting for more feedback. How can I retrieve my early questions?
