Content filter option in My settings
-
I deselected the filters and saved it. Then, I went back to Q & A. Can't see a question. I have tried Ctrl + F5 but no help. Is it just me or there is something wrong?
I noticed something fishy about the filters yesterday too. When I go MySettings/ContentFiler I see some keywords in "Content I'm interested in" (nothing wrong here, they are what I'd like them to be), and the same set in "Topics to be ignored"; I'm sure I did not enter those. Removing them refreshes the page, reselecting the ContentFilter tag brings the same keywords back, in a different order (not any particular order such as alphabetical, no just a different order). Weird. However, I don't think it affects anything, I can't tell for sure as I am, euh, not fond of Q&A anyway. BTW: my "Use these content filters for keyword searches" checkbox is unchecked. :)

Are you still not seeing any questions? We had a short power outage here that may have caused some weirdness on the site.

AS the "ignore..." list was basically the same as the "interest" list, I got no questions. As I said earlier, I was unable to clear the "ignore" list in My Settings. However I was able to clear it in the "List Q&A Questions" page and the list is OK now. Not being able to clear the "ignore" list in My Settings seems like a bug. :)
