Old issue: Posting sometimes doesn't clear the saved post Moshi's comment points out that this old issue (closed in 2021) describes the same problem, so this may be a regression. Other comments su...
Code blocks in posts have a "Copy" button at the top right, allowing copying all of the code in the block with a click (or a tap on a touchscreen device). I find this very useful, both because it s...

The reasonable adjustment duty on service providers and public authorities (unlike that on employers) is “anticipatory”. Service providers etc need to consider in advance what people with differe...
The question How is Temporal.PlainDate.from() constructed? has a body, but it doesn't show. If you look at the history, you will see it. I try to edit, but the body is already there. What happens?

Minor visual bug (no effect on usage). When uploading an image during editing or creating a post, the page is greyed out while the "Image upload" modal is showing (as intended). However, 2 of the ...

Allow pasting images directly into the editor. I.e., if an image is in the clipboard, ctrl+V would add it into the editor. That'd save a lot of time.
As I commented about the concerns expressed in this post, I realized that there is a way to provide a more "cross-community" view and navigation. My idea is to improve the Dashboard idea for this....
Right clicking on somebody else's profile picture, then selecting "open in new tab", results in a new tab opening, but with a download beginning instead of displaying the image inside that tab. For...

I just signed up and wanted to take the tour, but it kind of aborts abruptly when explaining "upvoting" the first answer. After two retries I realized this is because I did not click on the actual...
I have finally noticed why there is sometimes a "How can we grow this community" in the Featured box and why it is missing on Meta... There are separate pages for each community! Which I think is ...
I would like to be able to set a filter on tags with "OR" logic. My goal is to quickly filter to all the tags I may have knowledge to answer. But since the tags use "AND" logic, if I put in all the...
