@NathanO'TᴇstingTuggy I know it's not perfect, but I still don't see how it's a problem. And there obviously is a concept of modifying that is valid for the question list... Community bumps.
I don't get the problem with the word "modified". It hasn't modified the content of the question, no, but it has modified the activity log. Something is being modified or you wouldn't see the question. It's not ideal I agree but I don't think its a problem.
BTW, just found out I don't get instant chat notifications if I'm not in the room because there is a chat user pref for quicker notifications that I didnt have on :)
@nicael as I said i regularly check the "currently in room" without joining the room and I'm not there (i.e. not "sleeping") even though I never click "leave". Seems there is some inconsistency in how chat removes inactive users. I'm going to test this out now and see how long I stay "sleeping" in a room
I do get the pings when I come back to chat and I do get the notifications eventually (sometimes only when I rejoin chat, sometimes a few hours later), my point was that I don't stay in the room even though I don't click "leave". If that isn't how it should be working i'd be interested to find out why.
I don't think this is true. I never click leave, I just close the browser window (or tab) and I do remain in the room for some time but I know I'm never still in the room the next day (certainly not a week later).
The question says design inconsistency. Different scores etc wouldn't be a design inconsistency it would be data inconsistency. You say 'They should not be the same to begin with' ...why? That's exactly what i'm asking.
