Q&A Performance Improvements
-
Howdy! We've made some performance improvements to Q&A, and things should be much speedier now. If you see anything amiss, please leave a reply here or send a note to help@seomoz.org. Thanks!

OK. Here's what I can tell you. I use two different accounts in chrome. In both of them I have cleared my cache and cookies. In one account it works just fine. In the other, I get the problem.
So, when I go to this current page, http://www.seomoz.org/q/q-a-performance-improvements, and click on "reply" I get a brand new page on which to enter my reply. The url of the new page is http://www.seomoz.org/q/reply/122471/replies/new.
On that page, the javascript error console gives me this:
Hope that helps.

So sorry that I couldn't send the screenshots yesterday. I am swamped with work. I will try to get them to you later today. Hopefully really soon. It's weird because, now, as I type this it is working fine. Yet other times it doesn't. I'll document a few attempts and send it to you as soon as I can.

I spoke too soon.
If I clear my cache and cookies then it works just fine. However, the next time I come to the site the problem is there again (new page whenever I respond or reply, plus I can't thumb anyone up). I have to clear my cache and cookies and login again in order for it to work properly again.

From the last 30 days seems reasonable to me, but my bigger issue is with the name of that tab.
"Featured" is definitely a totally different connotation than "Unanswered". If I'm clicking on a "Featured" tab, I'm expecting something about these questions to be unusual - they're especially tricky, or especially useful, or especially contentious. Just "not having been answered" doesn't fit the idea of "Feature" in my mind. Not enough difference between the word Featured and Hot in my mind.
No catchy one-word label is immediately coming to mind, but if I think of something, I'll post it.

Good news! It is working properly for me now.
I thought it was still broken, but this time, clearing my cache and cookies did the trick.
Good job guys!
-
Same thing is happening for me too. I'm on Chrome on a PC.
-
Yes, the same thing happens for both replies and responses.
-
There was no place to attach an image at the Help Hub so I emailed support. Also, here is a screenshot of what I am seeing.

In addition to what Jamie said, we'd love to hear feedback about what is a good age to feature questions to help get older questions noticed, but have them recent enough that the user is still active in Q&A, still has a problem, etc.
What do people think about looking at the 50 oldest unanswered questions from the last 30 days? Or the last 60 days? Or last x many days? Any preferences?
-
Is it a bug that everything I'm seeing on the Featured Q&A tab is from 2011?
-
Q&A is generally much faster...good work.
But I have one request. Now the site gives you a new page when you type your reply. I can't see the question that was asked anymore. Usually I will need to go back and reference things said in the question when I am typing my answer. Can this be fixed?
-
Looks much better Keri. Until yesterday it was supper difficult during certain hours of the day for pages to load, specially when you tried to answer. Looks great so far.
-
Things definitely seem te be speedier than before! Great work!
-
The Q & A is one of the best things about this site, the reason why i stay here although it is sometimes dis-heartening when over 60 people look at your question like the one i posted yesterday and no one answers. But on the whole, i have gained a lot of knowledge thanks to all the experts on here.
-
Glad to hear it, thanks for letting us know!
-
Hi Falk,
To clarify, we were never shutting down all of Q&A, only the private questions. The public Q&A will still be here, and will be getting more improvements over time.
-
Looks great guys. Appears to be much speedier than before!
-
I am very happy about your decision, not to close the Q&A!

What's the best way for SEO newbie to analyze & fix a site after being hit by Panda?
Hi, I have a prospective client who was in the top 3 on Google for two of their primary keywords. They fell way back in the rankings immediately after Panda was rolled out on September 27, 2012. Two weeks ago, they were at position #118 for one keyword. After looking for them in Rank Checker today, they cannot be found in Google at all. Here's my question. Because of the "bad links" (some pointing to Porno sites)... what's the possibility that this situation cannot be fixed? I don't know... maybe I'm asking an irrelevant question. I'm attempting to assess the situation so I can go back and present my findings to the prospective client. I'm committed to understanding what's going on with their website so I can assess the situation properly. Fixing their problem starts with a correct assessment. They have a ranking problem, and I know I can fix that... IF all their site needs is white hat <acronym title="Search Engine Optimization">SEO</acronym>. What I DON'T want is... to sell them <acronym title="Search Engine Optimization">SEO</acronym> services, only to find out in 3-6 months... I made an incorrect diagnosis of the problem, and therefore sold them the wrong solution. I know I can close the sale if I can show them with reasonable substantiation that the damage is not beyond repair. I'm familiar with the basics of <acronym title="Search Engine Optimization">SEO</acronym>, but I'm unfamiliar with how "bad linking" might effect the long-term commitment to optimizing. They're wondering if they should start over on another website. I was attempting to do an assessment to better understand if my typical approach on this site would be sufficient. Also... I wanted to get an assessment/report to show them something to substantiate my conclusion(s) about their website. If Open Site Explorer is sufficient to do the link analysis... great. At least I know I'm working with the right tool. All I have to do is learn how to use the tool quickly. At this point... I'm not sure which tool would be helpful. So... can you speak to the following 2 questions: 1.) How do you know when ranking problem is beyond fixing? 2.) What software/tool is ideal for doing some link analysis in order to assess the problem, and prescribe a solution? Thanks so much! Ramon

Can you please provide an explanation of what each grade means so that I know how to improve the grade?
I am actively using SEOMoz to improve our overall customer experience and increase SEO traffic. I would like to better understand the grading "report card" report to deep dive into the words that get a poor score. Example I understand that "F" is bad, but what scoring factors are used to determine an "F"?

Multiple users & logins for one Pro account?
Hi, Is there a way of setting up multiple users under one account? Ideally I need to be able to provide access to different users without access to billing/account settings. If this isn't available, is it something that could be developed? This would be a very useful feature. Thanks Joe

What's with the new Q&A set up?
In the old Q&A set up your response was automatically given a thumbs up by you so that you got a mozpoint for every response you gave. Now you have to manually thumb up your responses. Why was this change made? Can we get it back to the way it was?
