I find myself holding conflicting opinions on this, so I've posted both as separate answers to see what voting and further discussion leads to. (more) |

A: How should the "all communities" profile tab handle deleted profiles on other communities? Keep it simple To keep things simple, deleted community users should not show up for anyone on the "All Communities" tab. For global moderators and global admins, separate tools can be made for tracking deleted community users, rather than trying to force the "All Communities" tab to serve an additi... (more) |

A: How should the "all communities" profile tab handle deleted profiles on other communities? Until the system has a way to distinguish between the different reasons for deletion, we should ensure we consider users who have done nothing wrong, and have a strong reason for concealing that they ever (potentially accidentally) had a profile on a community that they have since been deleted from. ...

I like the idea of the moderator help pages being open. This gives users some expectations of how they can expect to be treated in different situations. It also may lead to more volunteers for communities that need more moderators.
Maybe individual articles in the moderator help page could be mark... (more) |

Incorrect raw JSON failure message on posting a comment In a Codidact community where I have not yet earned the "Participate Everywhere" ability, I am unable to comment except on my own posts and answers to my own posts.

I relate. I learned to program in BASIC, back when the line numbers were part of the code. They would default to 10, 20, 30 so at first adding lines in between was fine, but eventually I'd be trying to guess where to leave space (should I make this new line 25, or 23 because I'm more likely to add fu...

I hadn't realised moderators could change the sequence. That sounds like a good start already.
Even if we leave gaps in the initial numbering, the addition of new links with arbitrary numbers means there may need to be renumbering at some point. The problem of renumbering to make room for a new li... (more) |

What would be most useful in terms of hierarchy?
I can imagine a single link that goes to a page containing more specific links.
I can also imagine a single link that shows those more specific links below it (perhaps as indented bullet points) so you don't have to follow the first link to find ... (more) |

Thank you both. That rules out a known Firefox bug, so we'll investigate it as a Codidact specific bug. (more) |

I've just seen [confirmation of this happening on Chrome too](https://meta.codidact.com/comments/thread/10468#comment-26318), so the Codidact problem is unlikely to be Firefox related. I don't know how that affects the Mozilla bug. (more) |

@#36396 @#8046 since you've both noticed this, would you mind sharing which browser and operating system you were using to narrow things down?
I was using Firefox 134.0 on Fedora 40 (Linux). (more) |

A: Draft of previous edit (including edit comment) loaded for new edit I'm not sure if the underlying cause is related, but I've seen a similar problem for drafting a new post. I just pressed "Ask Question" to post a new Meta question, and the text of this question (that I'm now answering) was loaded as a saved draft, despite this question already having been posted.

I suppose this does make the "and try again" redundant, as signing in does that automatically. Should we just say
> Search results for `user:me` can only be displayed when signed in. Please [sign in](https://codegolf.codidact.com/users/sign_in).
rather than

I can imagine cases where someone might desire either of:
- "me" continues to mean the sending user
- "me" means the receiving user
Should we give the user both options at the point that they copy the link? Maybe in a similar user interface for links to posts, which offer both raw and markdown l... (more) |

For me personally, I'd rather be shown no results and an explanation of why, than some results that I might go straight into looking through without noticing the message that warns me about them being different from expected. I'd like to avoid that potential for wasting the user's time.

A: 500 error page for user:me when not signed in My ideal solution would be to inform the user that search results for `user:me` require a signed in user in order to know who `me` refers to, and then show a sign in page that will automatically redirect to the search results once the user has finished signing in. I understand this would be more d... (more) |

You can also search for your own posts by specifying `user:me`. If you share a link to search results based on `user:me` then the recipient of the link will see results ... (more) |
