> Often enough I first write a preliminary title, then the body and finally return to the title and adapt it.
That's actually the kind of thing that we wanted to avoid users doing. As you say, even you go back to the title to adapt it once you write the body; this is just the softwar... (more) |

I'm a fan of descriptive names so I don't really like calling it "default", but I wouldn't be opposed if that's what you want to name it. But yeah, thinking harder about it, I think "Hot" isn't a good name for it, I think I'll just remove it. (more) |

What I'm getting from this is that we need to "beta" our sites, similar to SE. I completely agree, actually, but also for another reason: expectation management. Users who come to a site with low activity feel like asking and sticking around isn't beneficial. Users who come to a *beta* site feel like... (more) |

@#53452 Perhaps if that situation occurs, a little notice telling you something like "this question has been answered by a user you have blocked" when starting to write your own answer. That way, it's out of the way until it's actually useful. (more) |

Other than the small section at the end, I don't see any mention of it. Say a question was closed as a duplicate. Accordingly, there is a disagree button that people can click on. Is there a threshold amount of disagree votes that need to be cast after which it is reopened? Given it seems like disagr... (more) |

Can one disagree with a duplicate suggestion while the duplicate suggestion is pending? From the overview, it seems like it should be so, but the functional specification does not say that it is possible - is this an oversight? (more) |

@#54243 The point is that there's nothing to protect against. There's simply no way to harm using just Unicode. After all, it is ultimately just text. At most, they can create funny looking text, but that's the extent of it. (more) |

@#36396 On the other hand, I consider "computer games" to be synonymous with "PC games," i.e. video games that are specifically played on a computer, not on console. Though doing a quick search on the web, there doesn't seem to be a consensus on where the boundaries are drawn.

Also, I think there was some suggestion somewhere about increasing the character limit for comments, though I can't find it at the moment.

Now that space is less of an issue, could we revisit comment limitations?

"Taking over vertical space with headers..." Actually, on my display, the new site has a *shorter* header - the main space issue is because of the larger font size used for post titles and such. (more) |

I'm not really a fan of the change in the post score bar, though that's just my opinion. I prefer the current directional bar (-100 to 100, bar goes left for negative, right for positive, and no color for neutral) instead of having it on a 0 to 100 scale.

Filter looks good, but I'm a bit confused as to how it works, particularly the "Exclude questions with downvotes" toggle - does it exclude questions with *any* downvotes, or just those that have a net negative score?

Some random comments:
Generally looks good, but could we retain the special formatting of the discussion, bug, feature-request, etc. tags? Right now on the mockup they look the same as every other tag.

"The most obvious example is the issue with status tags added to bug reports here on meta." Actually, status tags *should* bump posts.

Tags aren't used in isolation. If something is tagged both "feature-request" and "planned", and further, is on the Meta for that site, I think people can reasonable infer that yes, it means that the feature is planned, not that the feature is *about* "planned".

"The "status-" is part of the name to avoid having only one type of "encoding"; somebody who can't see the colors can still tell the difference" Is there some reason there needs to be a difference?
