comment Selection menu at Login Screen for Language and Culture
@jfrej It might be technically accurate, but this is a web application for users to interact with, so users need to be able to understand what the labeling refers to. Maybe users understand the user of 'Culture' in this sense perfectly well, but I would be surprised if it didn't cause a lot of confusion.

comment Should I still be seeing an 'edit tags" link?
But in the screenshot Monica only has rep of 7,434 so wouldn't have access to those tools.

I bet the answer to this is.... caching.

comment General questions of curiosity
No, that's not really suited to a Q&A site. From the help page: "You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of our site and push other questions off the front page." How to learn something, or requesting resources wouldn't constitute a question about a problem that you face, it's a discussion / poll / resource request post, not an actual question.

comment How fast should a banner rotate on a website?
Where do you get these figures from? Just personal experience or is it from an article / study somewhere?

So you would still potentially want to offer the German Language option and the Swiss number format as a choice to the user? Anyone from any language can choose the Swiss number format, regardless of their language choice?

comment Search / Advance search on default
Can you tell us what sort of site this is for? If it's a second-hand car selling website then an advanced search is more likely to be useful, but if it's a brochureware site for a single-product company then it's less likely to be useful. We can't make suitable suggestions without knowing the context this will be used in.

Are these 'culture' options going to be global - i.e. the same options available regardless of the language chosen, or are there specific culture options for each language? (Also, where did you get the term 'culture' from in this case? I've never heard of culture being used in this way before, the word has many other meanings, and associating it with Language is going to send very confusing messages to people - 'what is the culture of my language?'

comment The reputation for meta.UX channel and UX.SE channel differs by 10
To use a cliche, it's just caching. Both the Meta and main site are showing the same reputation now.

comment Javascript of editor + Firefox nightly = doesn't work (some syntax error)
I think part of the point of releasing the nightly builds is to help identify issues and report them back to Mozilla. I think that might be an option to take here.

comment Questions and Answers related to TVs?
Ah, it's not often the shopping request post gets linked to for an actual shopping request! It's usually linked to for book recommendations / toolsets etc.

comment In user instructions, which term is more widely understood to mean a character A thru Z, letter, alpha or something else?
Let me put it this way. When have you, in the real world, ever used a sentence like "how many alphas in the alphabet?" or "what alphas would you like engraved on this necklace?".

comment Hide rep during review audits
Not a bad idea. Would be a bit pointless for the 'First Posts' review though, (obviously!) but still probably useful for the others.

comment Someone is not liking me on Stackoverflow
This looks more like a screenshot of your reputation history where you downvoted some posts and then manually un-downvoted them a few days later. The automated reversal shows up differently in the reputation history.

comment Which colours should be chosen to match a metro theme and be easily readable?
@rags Although you're right and this isn't the correct site for this question, Asryael is a first-time poster so it's more polite to direct them to a more appropriate place in a friendly and nice manner. As the help centre says: Civility is required at all times. Be nice.
