There are several options for posters to generate their links as links that will open the software centre. The basis behind all of them is linking to http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/<package-name>. There hav …

Does using accented characters make questions harder to find via search? Yes, it seems to. If you search with accents the accented posts show. If you search without accents the posts without acce …

Meh, you can already do this. In your scenario, if you want to check whether a user is online, you can just pootle over to their profile page and look at the "Last Seen" value. If they're active and …

You're supposed to flag what the user has done rather than the actual user. So if they've done a lot, flag it all. Not only will the system kick in (auto-bans, etc) but the moderators tend to notice. …

Why? It's either: Not an answer (which has its own flag), or A short answer with link that you're interpreting as a link-only-answer. Whether or not something contains a link isn't the issue. It's …

Moderators can migrate things to any SE site but (and this is rather a huge but) moderators and users of other sites don't want junk posts being sent in. There have been numerous complaints in the pas …

I don't think I quite agree with Jacob, but I think that's mostly because the question you're asking can be viewed in a few separate ways. You're actually asking three separate things: Third party so …

I agree. There should be a Unanswered or Open filter in the profile page so you can filter out the questions that are still open. Should be very simple to implement (the database already has everythi …
