Basically the title. In category feeds containing Articles (e.g. Meta Blog or the Code Golf Sandbox), Articles don't have the "posted <time> ago by <user>" as with Q&A posts.
When a new post appears in the category, it has both "posted ..." and "last activity ..." on it. It's a minor annoyance, but I feel like there shouldn't be a duplicate notice.
When sorting posts by tag, the tag usage part pops up as expected, but also the whole tag wiki. So when you actually start writing a proper tag wiki for a tag, anyone who wants to see posts under t...
I tried creating new comment threads here and here, but I was met by this message: Now, I can totally understand that everyone feels down from time to time, but I would like to know why the serv...

Basically, I'd ideally want something like "asked 3 days ago by A, last activity 1 day ago by B". Having just the person without the question creation date would be significantly less useful but...

I realize that there's a handful of trickier cases, for example anything involving multiple users, but this particular case should be relatively straight-forward. I propose that if the only undele...
Something caused posting an answer to fail for me (the web interface just sat there, the "Save Post" button disabled, but nothing further happened). To recover, I copied the text of the answer into...
Basically the title. When sorting answers by "Active" (what the button says), it actually sorts by age. (It even puts ?sort=age in the URL.) For example, this post has an answer that was edited rec...
