Comment Post #287824 Thank you! I've checked the 4 examples from the question, and 3 of them now show with a single set of square brackets as intended. These 3 have all been posted/edited in the last few months. The [only one that shows differently](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/276213/276222#answer-276222) has not ...

Question Inconsistent badge alignment on Vote Summary tab of user profile
On the Vote Summary tab of the user profile page, the post type and category show as badges on the same line as the question title and aligned to the right. However, if the question title is too long to allow them to fit, they are pushed to the next line down. At this point they should remain right a...

Comment Post #287766 I like that. (Bear in mind these are just my opinions - I have no more authority than any other voter here.) The only problem I can foresee is when the community grows and there are more votes, some of these may become more than 2 digits and not fit in the circle...

Question License CC BY-SA 3.0 only available on Writing and Outdoors
For 2 communities (Writing and Outdoors) the License drop down list when making a new post shows an option of CC BY-SA 3.0: Dropdown list for license, showing CC BY-SA 3.0 For all of the other Codidact communities this option is not present. Is the option only there for historical reasons, o...

Question Does "site" mean "community" or "Codidact" on License field?
Above the drop down list for license when making a new post, it mentions "site default". As people use the word "site" to mean different things, this could be ambiguous, particularly for a new user. Would it be clearer to use one of the following: - community default - Codidact default I'm gu...

Comment Post #287766 Ah I see now. Interesting. A separate accessibility issue is the contrast problem of putting the colours behind the text - but that could easily be avoided by having the same colour and shading to the side of the text instead of behind.

Question Incorrect description for CC BY-SA 3.0 in license drop down list
This will become irrelevant if License CC BY-SA 3.0 only available on Writing and Outdoors results in CC BY-SA 3.0 no longer being available For those communities where it is present, CC BY-SA 3.0 has a description of: > You've opted to be required to choose a license explicitly for every p...

Question Very narrow blank option in Default license drop down list
The drop down list of options for "Default license" in the "Community Preferences" section of the "Preferences" tab on the user profile page does not appear to have the option of returning to blank. The only visible options are licenses, or "No default (make me choose)". This seems like a problem if ...

Comment Post #287766 Also worth bearing in mind that having some of the info available on hover makes it difficult or impossible to access on a mobile device. That's already a problem with the existing state though, not specific to your suggested improvement.

Comment Post #287766 The accessible palettes make an improvement in how *distinguishable* the colours are (more people will be able to tell them apart) but they do not help with how *identifiable* the colours are. Many people are already conditioned to see green as good and red as bad, but people who see the accessible p...

Comment Post #287771 Ah I see (and well demonstrated with this thread title - thanks for that). My guess is that comments before and after threaded comments were introduced would both be overlooked for automatic empty thread deletion if their last comment was deleted before the automation was introduced.

Comment Post #287768 I don't have a Chromium based browser available to test with so I don't know whether the font size on Chrome is different causing 64 em to be a much larger pixel value, or whether it's independent of browser and related to any fonts / font sizes you may have overridden. I don't think it's uncommon...

Comment Post #287768 It's also worth considering whether 1068 pixels width is where you want the switch between limited and unlimited height to happen. Maybe this was aimed at having no height limit on mobile? However, on a full HD screen viewing 2 windows side by side (so each is half width), the unlimited height will b...

Comment Post #287768 It turns out that the containing `div` tag has a class of `profile-text` which is defined to have a `max-height` of 500 pixels, causing a scroll bar if the profile content (text or image or any combination) is taller than that in total. It's overridden by a `@media` query in the CSS that removes t...

Comment Post #287768 I'm using Firefox on Fedora Linux. At width 1068 pixels and narrower there is no scroll bar and the full image is visible. At width 1070 pixels and wider there is a scroll bar and a small amount of the image is cut off at the bottom.

I believe that when the last comment in a comment thread is deleted, the thread is also automatically deleted. However, there are some threads that still exist despite having all their comments deleted (presumably because they were deleted before the automation was introduced). This is what they look...
