It might help to also have more fine grained options: do I want to be contactable only in rooms I have already participated, or from any room? (more) |

I recall SE chat only allowing pinging a user if they have been active in a recent period of time. If implementing it here, I'd prefer to have a user not contactable until they choose to opt in to chat, but then continue to be contactable indefinitely until they choose to opt out. (more) |

In the same way that not everyone is on Discord, there may be people who do not want to be on our own chat system.
I'd like to see us implement a chat system, and remove the dependency on Discord, but I would still want it to be opt in. Not everyone who wants to participate in Q&A wants to be cont... (more) |

This would be aligned with the way moderator flags are currently handled - you don't see which moderator handled it. (more) |

The difference between Discord and a built in "contact a moderator" button is that on Discord you would be sending a direct message to a specific person who you know is a moderator, whereas the built in button would put you in touch with whichever moderator responds first. On Discord you would know w... (more) |

The developer window has a tool for manually finding the colour value of whichever pixel your mouse is pointing at, but I don't know of an automated way to get all of the computed values at once.
Some of the tools for compiling to CSS, such as SASS and SCSS, allow seeing the CSS output which might... (more) |

A: How to send message to mod other than by flag? Awkward workaround is acceptable until this feature is implemented You are correct, there is not yet a better way to contact a moderator than the awkward workaround you mentioned (flagging an unrelated post). To be clear: 1. A better method to get a moderator's attention should exist, so this w... (more) |

CSS filters are powerful (they can do far more than these simple adjustments) but I would want to think carefully before making them built in.
As a user script, browser compatibility is no problem because people it doesn't work for can simply not use it. If we made it built in we might break the s... (more) |

When you say "finer-grained adjustment of the contrast" do you mean being able to set different contrast levels in different regions of the page? (more) |

| Question | — |
Code block copy button in more places, such as help documents I find the copy button on code blocks in posts very useful. Could this also be added to code blocks in other places such as help documents? For example, the Template for Proposal Posts would be much easier to copy if there were a copy button. (more) |

I was very tired when I posted that comment and completely overlooked that you might mean a suggested edit. Reading it now, being more awake, it's perfectly clear that "applied" means "approved" rather than "submitted for approval". Thanks for being understanding. (more) |

Native sorting button blocks other sorting orders The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list include "Activity", "Age", and "Score", which are all orders into which to sort the posts. However, for sites with imported content they also include "Native". This is not a sort order, but a filter, showing only posts that were not imported. T... (more) |

Hover text on sorting buttons not available on mobile The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list have title text which appears on hovering with a mouse, but this is not available on mobile devices.

Thanks for the perspective. I appreciate that votes are difficult to interpret, particularly when the question seems to be also leaning towards an answer.

I can't speak for the downvoters. I don't know whether the objections are to the question or to the way it is phrased.

Thanks for highlighting this. I've established that the problem only occurs in windows of width 780 pixels or more, and edited the post to make this clear. I've also added a screenshot so this post can make sense to mobile viewers. (more) |

For future readers, note that this answer is to the initial bug report where I did not understand that the problem only occurs for some viewers, and I phrased the bug report in a way which made it sound like I was complaining about scroll bars.
Although I have now edited away the context, this ans... (more) |

I absolutely agree that horizontal scroll bars are the solution. Thanks for highlighting that the title and opening paragraph suggested the opposite.

Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate the difference. The bug is not that there is title text, but that the title text is applied to the container instead of the element. It just needs to be made more specific.
Hovering over "1.1k" and seeing "1063" makes perfect sense.
Hovering near the sor... (more) |
