Comment Post #287719 In terms of available space, it looks like anything 4 characters or fewer will fit in the available space. In terms of being understood, I personally see the abbreviation "pic" as sufficiently widely used to not need any further explanation. Looks like the font size doesn't need to change after...

Comment Post #287696 I guess as a way of finding out that I've had a reputation change without visiting every community, either solution would work (dashboard or network profile). I don't have a preference for which solution is chosen. Longer term, I wonder if it might be useful to have the reputation change show up i...

Another option is to not use button styling in the bar at all. The "Ask Question" button can become another tab along with "Posts", "Tags", and "Edits": Codidact Meta site with all 4 items styled as tabs, with "Posts" selected This is my personal preference as it simplifies the interface withou...

Answer A: Confusing reuse of styling between button and tab header
One option is to style the tabs as tabs rather than buttons, similar to the row above which shows the category tabs. The "Ask Question" button can then remain a button: Codidact Meta site with "Posts" styled as a tab rather than a button I prefer this to the current situation with 2 things that...

Comment Post #287656 The regex would have to check whether the text is inside or outside a code block, which includes single back ticks, triple back ticks, `code` tags, plus all the back tick variations that markdown allows for special use cases. This would mean effectively writing a markdown renderer in regex, which wou...

Question Tailored previews in search results to show the relevant parts of each post
In search results the title is shown followed by a preview of the post, consisting of the first few lines. I would find it more useful to see the section of the post that contains the search term, in order to easily judge the relevance of the result at a glance. For example, one of the results ...

Comment Post #288047 I don't want anyone to keep working on this unnecessarily so in case you haven't see the Discord discussion, we've narrowed this down and the question is now successfully posted (with a deliberate typo to avoid the word that was triggering the blocking).
