| Question | — |
Post score in title text of vote counts does not update when voting When adding or removing an upvote or downvote, the user interface is updated without reloading the page. This changes the upvote and downvote buttons to be the appropriate colour based on whether the user has upvoted or downvoted or neither, and changes the number of upvotes and downvotes. However, i...

That sounds consistent with old images showing fine and new images not showing. Thanks for the info - I'll check back in 24 hours and edit accordingly. (more) |

Images fail to load when previewed or saved While drafting or editing a post images do not show in the rendered post preview. Instead the alt text is displayed: Mouse pointer hovering over the voting buttons showing a score of 0.5 (For me this now shows correctly as an image, so it looks like this is fixed. Testing with a new draft post ... (more) |

I can confirm that it currently allows any string - no numbers required. Mine is currently a link to a Meta post. (more) |

Cannot remove Discord username from user profile once added After editing my user profile to add a Discord username as part of testing how it works, I am unable to remove the username. Deleting the username and pressing save results in an apparently successful save (no error message) but the username is still present on my profile, and pressing edit again sho... (more) |

A: Should the Discord guidance be updated as discriminators are being removed? From [Discord's announcement]: > In addition, your previous username and discriminator will continue to work as an alias after the conversion process is done, so old friends who don’t know your new username yet will continue to be able to add you. So even after the discriminator (the `#1234` in... (more) |

I agree that there are fundamental differences that give Codidact a much better chance of turning out well long term, but I'm also really glad that potential future problems are being discussed now, while there is time to try out new ideas that might help.
I see one of Codidact's strongest advanta... (more) |

I understand website reviews being off topic to keep the questions section focused. How would you feel about a separate category for site reviews, like the separate category for code reviews on [Software Codidact](https://software.codidact.com/)? (more) |

Yes you're right, this is a bug. It was [reported on Software Meta](https://software.codidact.com/posts/288238) and a [fix has been implemented](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/pull/1057), but has not yet been deployed. (more) |

I absolutely agree that we cannot separate voting from people's likes and dislikes. Voting is indeed far from the ideal of purely assessing accuracy and quality.
My concern is that this proposal would push voting even further from that ideal.
At present, people voting selfishly can still give a... (more) |

People's voting will be for a mixture of reasons, some of them political, and this proposal will not distinguish the reasons. This means that filtering based on prejudice will implicitly happen, which would be much easier to detect with tags than with automatically adjusted vote values.
I like the... (more) |

A: Are downvotes needed? There is a difference between a flag ("this requires action that only a moderator can take") and a downvote, which expresses an opinion about the post that the community can decide how to respond to. There may be several reasons for and against having downvotes. This answer just expresses one reas... (more) |

What a downvoter means by their downvote is not defined by the guidance in the help documents. It is a personal decision. Anyone can downvote for any reason, and at least some downvotes are motivated by disagreement.

On Meta, downvotes can indicate that a post is low quality, but they can also indicate disagreement with the opinion expressed, even if that opinion is expressed eloquently.
So although I am in favour of keeping downvotes (and will be adding an answer expressing a benefit), I do appreciate that th... (more) |

A: Support subjective scoring This is an interesting proposal. Although I think it would be detrimental in its current form, I'd like to emphasise that I would like to see more discussion of potential modifications to the way the site is curated and presented. I don't think this should ever be regarded as "finished" - improvement... (more) |

Odd behaviour of the user page filter tab On the filters tab of the user page, there is a drop down box called "Predefined Filters": The filters section of the user page, showing a drop down box set to "None" On mobile, tapping on the drop down box for the first time after page load results in a pop up selection window rather than a dr...

On my phone, the number of posts now shows without having to scroll down, so I would say this is sufficient to mark this as status-completed - pressing search no longer has no visible effect.
I agree it would be good to consider further improvements, such as possibly collapsing the "Advanced Searc... (more) |

I'd be interested to know why this has been downvoted. Here on Meta, a downvote can mean disagreement/disapproval, but it can also mean a post is not worded well.
Does the post need more detail, or is there objection to the idea?
If I understand correctly, the request is to provide only the sam... (more) |

I've checked and the same behaviour shows for me. The sort order is fixed regardless of which sort button is pressed, and the order does not match what would be expected for either Reputation or Age.
The sort order appears to put staff first, followed by everyone else in almost lexicographical ord... (more) |

That's good to know. I guess as a quick fix rather than constructing a description of the filter we could just show something like "Filters (un-named filter)", so it's immediately clear that the list is filtered. (more) |
