Tanner is right its not actually about the question mark, its the fact, clearly the question was saved because you made the required edits to make it a constructive question. | |

(And FWIW, "What changed?" isn't very helpful either.) What if you wanted to fix this on the client side (IE10) rather than the server side? Upon initially reading the question I would have assumed that one would attempt to fix this client side, as most of us on SU aren't sysadmins. | |

If you don't include a question mark how is one suppose to determine what part of your statement is the question? Lets forget for a minute that person might not actually have the problem themselfs. Its well documented that a question on this website should not actually contained the question itself. Your original revision of the question didn't contain a question from my perspective it was a statement. | |
