- @Billy : when I flag something, I don't really wanna have to go back for each flag hoping they haven't updated anything, so I do not have to reevaluate my flags over and over againJaanus– Jaanus2011-09-07 21:47:14 +00:00Commented Sep 7, 2011 at 21:47

- Or, if it's a question about HTML (or any other language that uses <>) and it looks like the poster simply omitted the code, you can click the edit button and see if it's actually there but hidden.mmyers– mmyers Mod2011-09-07 22:21:56 +00:00Commented Sep 7, 2011 at 22:21
- If you were a bit more seasoned, you'd have realized that the poster screwed up his code formatting. You then would have edited to fix. That would be the proper action to take here.user1228– user12282011-09-08 13:33:07 +00:00Commented Sep 8, 2011 at 13:33
- @Won't proper action would not be posting pictures of you eating wormsJaanus– Jaanus2011-09-08 13:35:00 +00:00Commented Sep 8, 2011 at 13:35

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
