There was this question up for closure in the review queue. I wasn't sure so I clicked "skip." But then, later, when I saw the question again, I decided that I'd like to vote "leave open". But since I clicked "skip", the question is obviously gone from the review queue.

Is it impossible for me to vote "leave open" now?

  • I know that I could VTC after clicking 'Leave Open' by accident in the queue by going to the question...

  • @Mithrandir Sure, you can always go the question and close. But there doesn't appear to be any leave open button outside of the review queue.

The item is not gone from the review queue, it just won't be served to you anymore.

You can still find it by following those steps: (using MSE for sake of example, but it fits any site)

  1. Go to the review queue history.

  2. Click "my review history" in the bottom:

  3. Make sure "show skipped reviews" is ticked:

  4. In there you can see items you skipped:

  5. Click the "Skip" link and you'll get directly to the item. You can still review it as usual.

  • Cheers, I thought there's a dupe but couldn't find. Maybe my desire for rep hindered my efforts though... :P

  • Haha... If you couldn't find the dupe, then I'll assume there isn't one :)

  • @Fiksdal nah, even wizards have blind spots... more than once I asked duplicate question myself! Exhibit A, Exhibit B and I'm pretty sure I even asked a question just to find it was asked before... by me!!!

  • Haha, ok :) Anyway, at 74k I'm not sure if your "desire for rep" is a major motivator :)

  • Oh, that desire never stops. What do you think drives Jon Skeet? ;-)

  • Haha. A desire to help people, according to himself :)

    I mean, Jon Skeet probably maxes out the rep cap every day on SO, even if he doesn't post anything, because of people upvoting his old posts, lol :)

  • I'm inclined to downvote because of the lack of an overwhelming number of arrows.

  • @Dea I prefer circles over arrows. No sharp edges this way. ;)
