I haven't found a way to reproduce this, or spotted anything in common between the different edits in which it happens. I haven't seen it for probably a few months, but it was rare so I don't know if that means it's fixed or not. (more) |

(That post suggests that Firefox guesses the correct file extension - it seems that in this case Firefox mobile is guessing an incorrect file extension.) (more) |

From reading that post I have established that the `.bin` automatically added to older image links is only being added by Firefox mobile. Chrome mobile does not add an extension. Note that Chrome mobile still fails to open the file - the only difference is that it does not add a file extension before... (more) |

Fixed for me too - thanks for checking. I'm guessing this might have been fixed at the same time as allowing the profile to be reverted to empty and not need a minimum number of characters. Either way, this looks status-completed to me. (more) |

You may occasionally see a thread that has had all of its comments deleted. However, this is just leftover from before automatic hiding of such threads was introduced. If you see such an empty thread, you can trigger its removal by adding a comment and immediately deleting the comment. The thread wil... (more) |

If we did decide to discard changes if the field is still in focus then there are events in JavaScript for leaving a page so it should be possible.
I don't have a strong preference on whether we change the behaviour or the wording, as long as they are consistent and unambiguous. (more) |

Yes I agree that technically the field lost focus, but it could be clearer to the user (especially for nontechnical users). (more) |

User preferences behaviour inconsistent with advice A preferences problem highlighted in an answer on Software Development Meta appears to have been somewhat fixed, but leaving an inconsistency with the guidance on the preferences page.

The title mentions "Bringing bad posts to the attention of curators". In addition to discussing potential close reasons, are you also looking for mechanisms for notifying curators of posts that need a decision from them?
For example, adding a close vote could also add the post to a queue of posts ... (more) |

I guess you could post it as an answer saying "here's a workaround until we get a proper solution". (more) |

Far from a solution so not posting as an answer:
If you put a wide image (such as a desktop screenshot) in a quote block, then the reduced horizontal space results in the height of the image also being reduced. It only makes a small difference though, and has no effect at all on tall narrow images... (more) |

Is there any reason that images shouldn't work in threads? Is it worth adding a feature request to have the `img` tag permitted? (more) |

I don't have reasons for or against. I've started a Meta discussion so that people can answer with any reasons, positive or negative, for or against these or any other questions they think of. (more) |

Would it be slightly more likely to get people to look in the right place if it instead said "Not here (see below)" or possibly "Not here (see link below)" if that fits on mobile? (more) |

A: Discoverability for the new Proposals site > Now that there is a separate Proposals site with its own Meta and other categories, that would seem to qualify as a separate "Codidact Community" which should be listed among the "Other Codidact Communities" in the standard page footer.

How should we phase out the Site Proposals category? Currently the old Site Proposals category points to the new Proposals community, presumably as a temporary measure until people get used to the new community. This is not ideal, as described in the last paragraph of Discoverability for the new Proposals site. What is the best way to approach remov... (more) |

Having said this, I don't believe the reference to English as a first language was intended with malice. Only Olin can know this for certain, but my impression is that it was intended to soften the English usage advice, by indicating understanding. It appears to have had the opposite effect, which I'...

I have 2 issues with the mention of English in this answer:
1. We don't have a requirement that a post's English have any particular minimum quality. We have the ability to edit each other's posts so that we can each add our own respective strengths.
2. English being an author's second language i... (more) |

My main aim with this answer is to avoid losing your future contributions. People don't generally rant about things unless they care.

| Comment | Post #289590 |
Your rant wasn't without reason. Even though things have been discussed before, most people arriving new won't know that, and may have similar frustrations to yours. It might be useful as a signpost to existing discussions.
It's up to you whether to delete, edit, or leave it as is. I don't persona... (more) |

Comment flagging broken on mobile portrait mode From a comment thread page, pressing "flag" on a comment results in a pop up panel with a text input and a "Flag" button.
