Q&A "last activity" on the post history of questions is misleading.

On answers, the "last activity" notice tells the time when the answer was edited and the user who edited it. For example, https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278908/history correctly states who edited ...

Q&A Have permalink button show a popup instead of redirecting

Currently, when I click the "permalink" button on a post, it just sends me to the permalink URL, which is kind of unintuitive - it took me a couple seconds to realize that the page hadn't just relo...

Q&A A small tool area to navigate through answers on a question page

I like the idea of a small tool zone for each answer that lets you skip quickly to the previous or next one. A navigation button or keyboard short-cut or gesture to skip one post at a time (Next/p...

Q&A Is S.E. website layout more clear cut and user friendly? [closed]

Q&A Sign up to answer this question but no sign in

When signed out and viewing a question, there is a "Sign up to answer this question" button. However, there is no "Sign in to answer this question" button, which I think should be added for parity.

Q&A Can the featured links be ordered by newest to oldest?

Right now for me, the links here https://outdoors.codidact.com/mod/featured are listed with the oldest on top, I think it would make more sense to order them the other way.
