Maybe we could have it so that when users create their first post, there is a prompt asking them whether they would like to enable email notifications (more) |

This is more or less what I wrote in my post, yeah.

I hadn't posted it as an answer since this solution is kind of a pain and not really something I would really want to force normal users who just want a resized image to have to resort to, but I guess it technically answers the question asked. (more) |

You could try doing it manually with HTML, but it's not exactly an approachable method.

It may be questionable, but it *is* the de-facto standard in this case, so I doubt that changing it is worthwhile (at least if we still want SE compatibili... (more) |

As a hack on top of this hack, I've added this to try to restore images back to some semblance of what they were
```css
img {
filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(0.5turn) contrast(125%);
background-color: black;
}

You mention that Wikipedia exists but isn't organized like a dictionary, so I'm wondering if you're aware of Wiktionary. The coverage there is also not great for highly specific/technical terminology though. (more) |

I'm pretty sure I've forgotten more of my reactions than I've ever placed, even though I'm more or less active. My old reactions wouldn't be marked as stale under this system. This probably won't be an uncommon scenario for other people either, so I'm not sure whether this is really helpful.

This looks like an interesting idea, though my gut reaction is "are we turning into social media?" due to it being essentially the same type of recommendation algorithm that those kinds of platforms use.

They use the same renderer. In actuality, only the client renders the post, then sending it to the server. However, in addition to the client renderer, there is also an HTML scrubber for security purposes on the server side.

Codidact isn't a forum; it is a Q&A (question and answer) site. A user should expect that the first thing they see is The Answer - not the first answer, but the best answer, which here is determined by voting. Think StackExchange, Quora, Alternative.to, etc.
Further, many popular forums sort by "B... (more) |

It's probably impossible. The previous searches popup is a browser functionality, nothing to do with Codidact itself. I'll defer to the actual tech team though to confirm. (more) |

Since this would be another filter, I don't think having the view changes is much of an issue: after all, it's natural for the "Positive" tab and the "All" tab to have differences, isn't it?

If there exists an acceptable answer to your question elsewhere, it is fine to self-answer with a link and some quotations of that answer.
