1I would put the word only directly before after. I think it would aid clarity.TRiG– TRiG2014-02-23 22:43:57 +00:00Commented Feb 23, 2014 at 22:43

Any chance to A/B test this vs. the current "On hold" message?Dan Dascalescu– Dan Dascalescu2014-02-24 01:01:23 +00:00Commented Feb 24, 2014 at 1:01

Replace pithy jargon with a boring explanation of what it means? Now you're just being silly.Shog9– Shog9 StaffMod2014-02-24 02:25:11 +00:00Commented Feb 24, 2014 at 2:25

@Shog9: if that was supposed to be funny, the humor was lost on me. I'm thinking that many SO users may not be native or experienced English speakers, and clarity would help.Dan Dascalescu– Dan Dascalescu2014-02-24 02:33:01 +00:00Commented Feb 24, 2014 at 2:33

2I was being rather tongue in cheek, @Dan - see previous discussions of this problem as well as the top answer in this thread - everyone knows this is an issue, but finding a solution that works is... hard.Shog9– Shog9 StaffMod2014-02-24 02:42:49 +00:00Commented Feb 24, 2014 at 2:42

My solution was inspired by the first answer; I've just reworded it to sound more encouraging. What about going ahead with the third phrasing from the top answer and see if we can find an even better solution later?Dan Dascalescu– Dan Dascalescu2014-02-24 04:02:28 +00:00Commented Feb 24, 2014 at 4:02

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
