On this question, where the “start bounty” link should be, I see:
Haha, what? (Clicking it takes me to the help page.)

6I see the link and clicking it gives me the popup. What browser, OS and year are you posting from?– Oded StaffModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 15:21

I used you as an example last night, hope it is not a problem meta.stackexchange.com/a/192211/217863– apaulCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 15:27

Is that happening to you only on that question, or on others as well?– Oded StaffModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 15:30
-
@Oded: Only on that question, as far as I can tell. (And it also happens with JavaScript disabled — if that helps any.)– Ry- ModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 15:32

Any javascript / network errors?– Oded StaffModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 15:34

@Oded: None. (When I turn my extensions off.)– Ry- ModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 15:35

It would be fun if this were related to the fact that it was asked at 0:00:12 UTC. I’ll try to find another question like that.– Ry- ModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 15:37

@minitech - It would be strange.– Oded StaffModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 15:40

You have had bounties on this question before. Actually, you had a 500 bounty on it.
As result, you can't offer another bounty on it. Additionally, having < 500 rep doesn't help with the logic (say you had a 400 bounty there but < 450 rep - you can't offer a bounty).
This is why you are not seeing a start a bounty link - a fairly unique set of conditions - it is your own question, you have had a max bounty on it and you have less rep than what the max for a bounty is.
This is a real edge case - not sure what we will do about it.
-
So where is the code getting the date from? And since you already have logic that selectively displays the "start a bounty" link, why can't you also hide the eligibility message? Commented Aug 7, 2013 at 15:59

So does this only happen on my own questions? I found another one “question eligible for bounty Feb 3 at 16:29”, but this question and this question have hidden the links, as it should be.– Ry- ModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:00

@Oded - I'm fairly certain I've had a 500 bounty on this question but I still see the start bounty link. Am I misreading your post? Commented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:06

@AdamRackis: At 500, you can start another 500. And you have 13,918 rep.– Ry- ModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:07

Ahh - thanks - got it. I don't think I've ever seen a moderator with < 500 rep on meta :) Commented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:08
-
@AdamRackis: I had 1 once. There’s a 2014-04-01 bug report preview for you there, by the way ;)– Ry- ModCommented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:09

@minitech - ha! Creating posts on 4/1 is a fine art. I'm fairly proud of my net score of zero on my last one Commented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:12
-
@AdamRackis - There is a specific set of conditions here. Including having rep < 500. Commented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:41
-
Well <click, click> a certain mod is no longer < 500, so problem solved :-D Commented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:43
-
@minitech - Yes, own question is also one of the conditions... Like I said - a real edge case. I will look at it tomorrow to see if we can make this a bit saner (we shouldn't display a message like this anyways - not for a bounty start in the past) Commented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:45
-
@minitech - Now that you have > 500 again, you should be able to see the link... Commented Aug 7, 2013 at 16:47

"not sure what we will do about it." I suggest we can keep add bounty link with a message somewhat like we did for add comment– HimanshuCommented Aug 8, 2013 at 11:02

1@hims056 - currently, just changed it to make more sense if it happened in the past. Commented Aug 8, 2013 at 11:03

1@hims056 - not 5 minutes ago. Still needs to be deployed. Commented Aug 8, 2013 at 11:04
