Is Auth0 sponsoring us again?
Auth0 will be sponsoring the site again beginning on April 21st. I just posted the announcement. It went live by accident earlier than it was supposed to. Sorry for the confusion.

Is SE generating popups now?
This doesn't look like anything we would serve.
If you are browsing over http, try using https to see if that happens again. I suspect shenanigans by your ISP or someone between you and us.

Downvote -2 shown as +2 in achievements bar
Another possibility is that you have previously downvoted answers which were subsequently deleted. In that case, the downvotes cost you 1 rep each, but there is no indication after the post has been ...

Why are there so many already answered 3-10year old posts in the active feed?
There are 2 main reasons:
questions that have no votes on the answers are bumped to the main page for activity
recent edits act as "recent activity" that brings the posts to the main page

Downvote -2 shown as +2 in achievements bar
The number you see on the achievement bar before it is expanded is not the reputation you have gained today, it is the reputation change since you last checked it.
So one example of how this could ...

Why does the Community user on Meta has 3 reputation?
This usually happens when posts and suggested edits are attributed to the Community user (as part of the procedure followed when deleting a user). This will eventually be fixed by a scheduled task and ...

Information Security logo replaced by Server Fault logo

Is a Retina JPEG image of a CC-BY-2.0 bear's arms prohibited as a community ad on security?
The specification is very... specific, and it is given in the post describing how to submit adverts.
It must be 220x250 pixels - retina is not even vaguely relevant here. "With Retina support" does ...

Why is the favicon different in the HNQ sidebar
I think this should be fixed and the icons should be matched.
There is no good reason why the logos have to look completely different, given that they don't even visibly differ in their size (the ...

Autocomment from review ending up on both question and answer
As @Xavier59 and @AviD explains in comments, this is not a bug.
When a moderator converts an answer to a comment, all the comments to the answer are moved along with it. In this case the moderator ...

Editing your own answer shows a guide that says "always respect the original author"
This note comes up when anyone edits any answer.
Adding a check in to see if the editor is the OP just adds complexity, and is unneeded.

6 character edit limit vs. side suggestions (suggesting minor fixes are fine)
I'm not sure that this limitation still applies when you are over 2000 rep. (I didn't checked it, but I think I may have made such small changes in a question while posting an answer or while ...

6 character edit limit vs. side suggestions (suggesting minor fixes are fine)
Yes - the simple answer is that you should search for more errors.
While an incorrect "its" or "it's" makes my OCD twitch, your energy is best used somewhere where you can fix more than one or two ...

Active bounty advertisement bug
It looks like this is outside the scope of our site. This image is not owned by us but a third party (I think https://github.com/51cards/Stack-Exchange-Bounty-Ad).

6 character edit limit vs. side suggestions (suggesting minor fixes are fine)
I feel your pain. I also did a lot of edits before I reached 2 000, and bumping into this restriction can be very annoying. But even if your edits are correct and good and worth the time of reviewers, ...
