Maybe tag [a] was there to make a point, but A(nswer) is strong counter to what seems to be the proposal anyway (eg Java and JavaScript, should there be a Programming site).

Comment Post #277926 @Moshi For something as minor as 'Staff' flags in the User List *I'd* be fine with quite a lot longer, while things are as busy as they are at present. BTW My apologies for the bother I caused you over a now deleted Q.

Comment Post #277926 @elgonzo I suspect anything other than a space immediately after 'username' (immediately following`@`) does not ping. (And two or more word usernames *might* need to have the spaces removed.)

Comment Post #277379 Elsewhere you asked the very reasonable Q 'why -1 a [bug] Q' and gave this Q as an example. I can account for one -1 here. I acknowledge the screenshot complication but you have been offered possible ways forward (what further information from you might help) and have chosen not to provide any. A Q a...

Comment Post #277926 "Meta's tags are mainly used as a way for the site builders and administrators to keep track of what is completed or not" [your](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/276831#answer-276832) words. A PR seems "job done" as far as a site builder is concerned.

Comment Post #277924 I'd prefer the tag be premature (provided only very slightly) rather than be overlooked altogether. For me "will be live the next time a deploy happens" is good enough clarification for a short period. I imagine coupling the tag with the PR action makes it less likely it will be forgotten.

Comment Post #277887 @Moshi Thank you (again!). Now with improved understanding, maybe in such cases *edit from* rather than *edit by* would be an adequate fix? I am fairly certain elsewhere this would be [status-bydesign]. BTW most of my suggested edits are neither "helpful" nor "declined" - there is also "pending".

Answer A: Site for office suites
Although there already exists a veritable plethora of help with office suites (particularly for Excel) I do believe there is room for yet more, provided high quality, well indexed, user friendly, current and with a quick response to posts. I also believe that the distinction between office suites ...

Comment Post #277871 I've seen (even participated in) a number of disagreements over the topicality of Excel formulae over on SO but don't recall a single instance where there VBA was considered inherently off-topic.

Comment Post #277887 Is "The site claims " correct, *strictly speaking*? There is a timestamp that I agree at least strongly *implies* that, but if when a proposal came into effect is useful information, it could be reasonable for a single stamp to favour 'implemented' over 'suggested'. Maybe there should be two stamps, ...

Comment Post #277858 @OlinLathrop Agreed. Mild concern is *a common "ideal", which both implementations strive for* (that's @luap42 20200707 on Discord about C# and Qpixel), and MVP was (s/h been?) consensus, whereas above looks unilateral.

Comment Post #277365 Current status seems harmless to me and given how much else seems to deserve priority, I'm down voting in the hope that that reduces attention here in favour of attention elsewhere, for the moment. [Here](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/277872) similar.

Comment Post #277859 Just because a quantifiable relationship between variables is recognised does not *for me* qualify a Q as "Maths". E.g. I know distance = speed x time but would expect "How long from JFK to LHR by Boeing 777" to be a travel Q, not a "Maths" one. Too wide a coverage may conflict with a lay person's in...

Comment Post #277389 Obviously. I did write "**OR** last was active". SE claims ~20M users and I have not noticed a single objection to their "Last seen" times. When to revert is useful for (a) changing votes (b) deleting surplus Comments and (c) accelerating As, etc.

Comment Post #277389 If only "last active" the information is already provided, just could be tedious to find. For example, your A above is timed (36 minutes ago, at present).

Answer A: "User Profile" should be more informative.
There is already a Q Should we have "Last seen" times? which nobody has chosen to discuss for about a month and for feature requests I would prefer each to be dealt with individually. Also, for all feature requests I would prefer that the request specify why a proposal might be a good idea. In gen...

Comment Post #277020 @OlinLathrop a) since each Q competes with others for attention IMO there is a role for marketing and emotional appeal, or at least something similar. b) from a different Q&A site, but IMO relevant: "*Usually, I come here and start writing a question and by the time I've understood my own problem wel...

Comment Post #277096 IMO if https://meta.codidact.com/questions/276825 were addressed it would probably resolve this issue also. (ie a filter to allow selection of 'unanswered' only and also allow instead deselection of 'closed', each preferably with, optionally, tag specification as well.)

Comment Post #277023 @MonicaCellio More or less as I suspected :) - and definitely 'no big deal' either way but immediately under the Title makes more sense to me, and can reduce scrolling.

Answer A: Why does the title come after the body when writing a question?
It is the logical place for adding it. Based on experience elsewhere, I have long suspected that thinking up a Title after the body of a Q has been written is likely to lead to better quality Titles. I have been known to scroll down to add a Title first (which I have not found bothersome, though t...

Comment Post #276940 @OlinLathrop Yes, I smiled at your suggestion and got the point that it was just an example but ran out of characters before clarifying that I was doubtful about the "ground" part.

Comment Post #276940 Unfortunately specific example happens to be complicated. Perhaps since *mincemeat* sounds like minced meat, in my UK experience *minced meat* is rarely used. I think just *mince* is more popular in speech – but, while likely to refer to beef, lamb and pork e.g. are other possibilities for both long ...

Comment Post #276780 IMO user53100's Comment is enough by way of 'improved' phrasing. That Comment and Q and other As express opinions (that move consideration forward), whereas 'sitting on the fence' adds next to no value.

Comment Post #276832 Disallowed characters – similar to above. I don't mind whether or not there are any but, without good reason (eg all Greek characters disallowed in general but permitted on a language site) any exclusions should, unexceptionally, be the same for all sites.
