2023/2024/2025 Question of the Day Archive & Suggestions

One more pointless post from you.

I know.

I do think clarifying questions should be allowed here. I like knowing when my question is unclear, and I'm sure others do too.

I'm sure you like that option since it gives more opportunities for you to add clutter to the thread.

On the other hand if the clarifications are left for that particular question's thread you are free to add all the posts you want to that thread without causing further work for the op.

On this specific issue, it's more of an issue when you're watching the thread. I have the same issue. Sometimes I'm watching multiple threads and I forget what question was asked on which thread I'm watching. (Especially when the question is a yes or no question. There's no quick indicator what question was, unlike a question asking what kind of fishing reel one uses.)

But yes, I agree on the title being cluttered. Plus some questions are long.

Right, some questions are way too long to add.
But 1 or 2 extra keywords make a huge difference. And shortening the date to compensate is a possibility.

Notabitail suggestion:
QOTD, Jul 8th '25 how do you like your eggs? is (almost) perfect.

This would be great too imho. : Question OTD, Jul 8th ‘25 how-you-like-eggs?

Don't forget the day has to fit somewhere too...

If the titles are to be uniform (which would be proper, considering these aren't just random threads) then the question must be included whether it's too long or not.

Also, putting the question in the title takes away all the excitement of finding out what the Q of the Day is.

Next question of the day proposal:
How do you want title of the upcoming Question of the day’s to look like?

Yeah, the date, IDC if it was a Tuesday or a Wednesday I just know it was the fifth and not the sixth or the seventh etc...
Also the day can be condensed if it's necessary, like Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thur...

Also, putting the question in the title takes away all the excitement of finding out what the Q of the Day is.

That's exciting?! I find it incredibly annoying to load an entire mystery page on my limited internet only to find out it's a rather lame question that I'd rather not waste keystrokes answering.
