| Question | — |
Clarify "Remember me" When signing in there is a checkbox labelled "Remember me". There is no supporting information to indicate what this checkbox is for. Without it, a user may not know which of the following it means: - "Remember username": Make the browser remember your username for next time you sign in (so you on... (more) |

Remember 2FA on this device On some sites that support Two Factor Authentication (2FA) there is the option of remembering your device so that in future 2FA will only be required if signing in from a different device. This is optional so that it can be disabled for users who share a device or who require additional security in c... (more) |

No title text on edges of buttons away from icons The "Dashboard", "Notifications", and "Mobile Sign In" buttons in the page header at the top right of the page have title text which displays those names. However, the title text is on the icon rather than the whole button, so it does not display when hovering over the edge of the button, even though... (more) |

I guess that even if there was a shared "Codidact Staff" account, staff would still be likely to add "This is just my personal opinion" when posting from their individual account.
The same applies if each staff member had 2 accounts, one for official posts and one for personal posts - they would s... (more) |

It seems like there are two separate ideas here:
1) The question suggests a shared account, which several different members of staff could post from (which may or may not also indicate which member of staff is currently posting from that shared account)
2) This answer is suggesting multiple acc... (more) |

I agree that showing the answer text makes more sense, especially as the question itself is often another search result nearby.
As for previewing the section that includes the search text like search engines do, I'd like to see that for both answers and questions. As it's a separate feature reques... (more) |

A: Tags shown on a question can differ from tags shown when editing that question It appears that this may have been incidentally fixed by other recent changes. I have just suggested an edit on the question you linked to, and I was able to see the tag "writing-instruments" and remove it. The edit will need to wait for review, but it seems that simply being able to suggest it means... (more) |

Confusing reuse of styling between button and tab header At the top of the page there are sections for the community's Categories, which are displayed as tabs that can be switched between. For example, here on Meta Codidact there are "Q&A", "Site Proposals", and "Blog". Similarly, on the next line down there are sections for things relevant to the curre... (more) |

Surprising page load after pressing "follow new" Clicking "follow new" below an answer results in the page being reloaded with that answer as the highlighted answer at the top of the answer list, with the message "You are accessing this answer with a direct link".

Would it be better to edit this question to be about adding additional links to the notifications page, or to ask that as a separate question so that the bulk of this one can be closed as a duplicate? (more) |

In addition to an extra link at the top of the notifications drop down panel, would it also be useful to have a link from the user profile? That's where Olin looked for them, and I'd find it a natural place to look too.
As there is already a list of sections along the top of the profile page, it s... (more) |

Monica, is this also relevant to the [GitHub issue](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/928) you opened recently? I don't know if the existence of `https://meta.codidact.com/users/me/notifications` affects your decision on whether that issue is important? (more) |

If you scroll down in your notifications in the drop down panel you will eventually get to the bottom, where it links to a [dedicated notifications page](https://meta.codidact.com/users/me/notifications). I found this useful recently for finding something that I knew I'd been notified about a long ti... (more) |

A: Impolite comments Since this question was asked, the ability to flag individual comments has been implemented, so the workaround mentioned in the other answers is no longer required. It may not be immediately apparent that this is now possible, so here's a quick guide: - At the bottom of the comment thread click... (more) |

A: Comment flagging is hidden from inexperienced users I do not see flagging as something that should be restricted to experienced users who know where to find the link. A new user who sees a comment on their first post and wants to flag it should not have to wonder how to do this, or wonder whether flagging is an option for them. Including the flag l... (more) |
