Must be a blind spot in my mind, but looking through the list of earned bounties, I could not see who has offered it. Why? I am about to start a new project on Launchpad, which was initiated by a ques …

General answer If your question seems to be a dupe, but the existing question/answer gives you no solution, the question is if it really is a dupe. What I would suggest is to ask a new question, be ve …

Just curious: I checked my behaviour on upvoting / downvoting; the rate is almost 30:1, which means I am not much of a downvoter. A few days ago however one of these rare occasions took place, and I …

After an "active" presence of a little more than one year on AU, I was looking through my answers, in a votes- sorted order. Browsing to the end of the list, I came to the "zero- activity" section; no …

Really just curious, but if a user is removed "forcefully", his or her votes are undone. That is completely understandable. What however if a user closes his or her account deliberately, are his or h …

Vanity is the background of this question, but here we go... To prevent misunderstandings: this is not about the ask ubuntu newsletter, but the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter (sent by Elizabeth K. Joseph). …

In many cases, problems can be solved, or at least worked around, by making a small script. I am very well aware of the fact that this site is not a script-factory and people should not expect other u …

I ran into this question, which has an open bounty. I remembered having answered pretty much exactly the same question here. However, since the question has an open bounty, it cannot be marked as a du …

I've had this situation once before, you find a question with a bounty, and immediately you remember you've answered a similar question. You cannot vote to close, since the question is "bountied", bu …
