Why does a poll thread get bumped whe someone votes?
Pretty sure that it never used to happen but now when someone votes on the poll, the thread gets bumped up which ever board that it is on and the time showing for last post made is updated to when the vote was cast in spite of showing the actual time the post was made when you open the thread.

I noticed today that yesterday 10 June 2018 it was 14 years since I became a member of this Forum. It got me wondering why we only have badges for up to 10 years? If we can celebrate years 1 to 10 then why can we not continue to celebrate membership passed 10 years? As some members have now passed 15 years could you not…

Has MSE got any plans to bring it mobile web interface up to speed?
When I share a link to Google Plus it includes a nice picture, the headline of the article, and the link directly to the article. How brilliant is that. Not rocket science either. The question is an obvious and a simple one. Has MSE got any plans to bring it mobile web interface up to speed?
