@OlinLathrop It's a standard and expected setting if the site tracks last seen times.
@MonicaCellio Me neither, but the point here wasn't to debate the merits of tracking last seen times but just to point out that it should be a user preference. (more) |

@MonicaCellio premature suggestion: I'd be down for you to add bbcode as an option. (more) |

@OlinLathrop I actually like the autosave. I posted this because of the linked post, not because I'd use it myself. (more) |

A: Future planning: what user preferences would be useful? Use a monospace font in the editor (enable/disable) For those like me who want to use a proportional font when writing posts. (more) |

@MonicaCellio Wait, so communities can have multiple tag sets? That makes things a bit more complicated... I guess it really is gonna be a "per tag set" scope if it gets implemented. (more) |

A: Future planning: what user preferences would be useful? status-completed Enable/Disable Autosave Self-explanatory, let users choose whether they want to turn the autosaving feature on/off. (more) |

@MonicaCellio oh, is that how it works? Are tag sets per-community? Because in that case, I'll edit it and change it to suggest a per-community setting. (more) |

A: Future planning: what user preferences would be useful? Show/Disable last seen time This is a pretty standard preference for those sites that do have "last seen" tracking, for those who want to opt out. If they enable it, their last seen time would be shown on their profile, if not, it wouldn't. (more) |

A: Future planning: what user preferences would be useful? status-completed Favorite tags It's an idea I was thinking about since a while ago, but wouldn't it be nice if users could choose 'favorite' tags, and they would be highlighted in some way on the feed? (maybe with a different background). For example, on Software Q&A, I would favorite JavaSc... (more) |

@Lundin yes, this is off topic. And I wasn't debating whether or not Discord was spyware either, merely commenting on how unreliable that site looked. (more) |

@MonicaCellio that's what I thought as well, maybe it should be renamed something like "Exit"? (more) |

@OlinLathrop Although admittedly a rare use case, the back button won't go to the post if the post history is directly linked to (such as in this question). In any case, this is still a bug regardless of how you feel about the particular feature. (more) |

Reset button for drafts I was recently editing someone else's answer, but I didn't like my changes and decided to redo them. However, there was no way to reset the edit (revert to the state before I started editing). The Cancel button doesn't work either, it just exits the page and when I click on "Suggest Edit" again, the ... (more) |

"Sites metas can easily fight this by insisting on not falling in authority fallacy." Insisting in what way exactly? The help page (that no one reads)? A meta post (that'll get buried)? (more) |

"Knowing who hates others is a good first step towards their reconciliation."
I don't really see your point with that. Downvotes are not equal to hating the poster; this attitude is exactly why I argued against signing votes since it would cause needless drama. (more) |

"Instead, let that minority downvote privately, but why force their needs on other people?"
I was under the impression that we were discussing the all or nothing choice. If that wasn't the case, then I'm find with the compromise of letting people chose to sign their votes. (more) |

A: General discussion on making votes public Let's weigh the pros and cons. Pros - Discourages downvoting without reason As stated in Olin's answer, people will be less likely to go on a downvoting spree if their name is attached to those downvotes. - Uh... we can lynch active downvoters? Cons - False accusations of revenge voti... (more) |

I'm not here to debate about security, I just don't want people getting the wrong idea about what "High levels of spyware" mean on that site. Their idea of spyware is, apparently, anything that the user doesn't have minute and direct control over, meaning every website is high level of spyware (becau... (more) |

Imagine that level of paranoia was applied to Codidact (no offence to Codidact). It would fail miserably because it requires users to provide an email address, stores all of the user's posts and comments on private Codidact databases, and runs an analytics script in the user's browser. (more) |

@Lundin That site also lists Mozilla Firefox, Unity and Steam as having High levels of spyware, and Mozilla Thunderbird as medium spyware; even Paint.NET is apparently spyware. I highly doubt the accuracy of that site.
Their reasoning for those labels is also utterly inane. Discord is spyware beca... (more) |

There is a `code` element inside of a `pre` element. The `code` element has a horizontal scrollbar, while the `pre` element has a vertical scrollbar. This means that the horizontal scrollbar, as part of the inner `code` element, can be scrolled out of view. (more) |

@Monica Can't say this is exactly what @Canina is seeing, but I would say so given their screenshot. The scrollbar is there alright, but you have to scroll down to see it because of how the page is layed out. (more) |
