    I think this site needs to add colored images to every comment.

    Racist.

    Oh really? So how do you explain the fact that the comments currently only have white images on a white background?
    And I noticed how you conveniently ignored the fact that all the important parts (words) are in black? Even though there are more white parts, they are forced into unimportant positions. They are there only to make the black text look good!

    more randomer than you:
    No-one seems to have picked up on the fact that this was a GUI update, hence it is not completely out of the question that database changes were in fact "out of scope" which could indeed make it impractical to implement the 'mood'

    But the old UI was able to implement the 'mood' just fine with the existing db schema.

    return of the spelling nazi:
    In reality, the database had progressed to a point where it would have taken more work to add a place to store the 'mood' than they were willing to do. The WTF in this case was that one of the coders realized this early on, and left a TODO for himself noting that they should add this to the database before it becomes unwieldy.

    In reality, it is impossible for the database to "progress" to the point where this was difficult.

    ALTER TABLE REPORTS ADD STATUS tinyint null
    CREATE TABLE CODE_REPORT_STATUS (
ID int not null, 
DESCRIPTION varchar(100) not null
)
go
INSERT INTO CODE_REPORT_STATUS (1, 'Good')
go
INSERT INTO CODE_REPORT_STATUS (2, 'OK')
go
INSERT INTO CODE_REPORT_STATUS (3, 'Bad')
go

    How is that hard?

    As a developer, I have never forgotten to implement or rework something until it was too late, and then lied about the reasons to a client or the management in order to mask up my negligence.

    Furthermore, I'm so entirely honest and open that I have no understanding of the concept of lying, and so along with legions of others in this thread already, would like to know why they couldn't just reference one of three static images.

    (This can only reflect well on me)
