| Question | — |
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) |

| Question | — |
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. The sorting buttons above the filters section "Activity", "Age", and "Score" are reasonably intuitive names, so a mobile user could still... (more) |

Would you want the same behaviour for links that have a start date in the future? Do they currently stay in the "inactive" tab until the start date is reached? (more) |

I'm very confused by this question. I was sure I had kept my time travel a secret. Could you rephrase to help my parsing? (more) |

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 suppose a large number of downvotes will probably also achieve the same as a large number of upvotes - more people will be likely to be curio... (more) |

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.
Personally I see this as an important question. Codidact exists to provide freedom from the conflicts of interest associated with profit driven organisations. Users publicly raisi... (more) |

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.
I have now edited to make the title mention the right hand panel, to mention in the first paragraph that scroll bars are a good thing, and added a s... (more) |

If skimming through the post didn't look immediately awful, I'm wondering if you are viewing on mobile, where I've just been informed the problem does not exist.

Some code blocks extend into the right hand panel on desktop If a code block contains a line too long to fit in the available horizontal space, the excess to the right is hidden, with a scroll bar to allow seeing the rest (this is a good thing): Raw text: ````text ```text This is an exceptionally long line for the purpose of demonstrating what happens wh...

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) |

A: Get rid of minimum character requirements Prevent zero only - I'm comfortable with preventing users from posting zero character comments and posts. - I agree there are times when insisting on 15 characters is unhelpful. - For comments, I see no reason to make the minimum higher than 1. - For posts, I'd expect them to be longer but 15 is ...

Thanks for explaining. With priviliges and abilities being two separate things, it might be worth making the separation more definite. The screenshot in this answer exclusively uses "privileges" in the Roles section, and "abilities" in the Recalc Abilities section, but the screenshots in the question... (more) |

I am. Steps to reproduce:
1. Open this page in 2 tabs.
2. Mark your top notification as unread.
3. Close the notification panel and see the blue notification circle.
3. Switch to the other tab and click on the unread notification.
4. Switch back to the first tab and see the blue notification cir... (more) |

I like this approach. I also enjoy overthinking, so I'm not best placed to judge whether it's more than we need, so I'm interested to see what others think.

The [answer explaining why we shouldn't do this](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/288828/288834#answer-288834) has plenty of upvotes (including mine) so I'm pretty sure we're safe from this happening. I have been thoroughly convinced that my suggestion is a bad idea... (more) |

The post you link to discusses questions, rather than answers, which makes me realize what I was overlooking:
An answerer will generally put `--` inside a code block or inline code, so it won't get converted, but someone asking a question is less likely to know to do this, so we can't rely on it.

That's one difference with Codidact - there is no voting on comments. There is only voting on posts (questions/answers/articles). The [reputation per vote is adjustable though](https://software.codidact.com/posts/288728). (more) |

| Question | — |
Should we render double hyphen as an em dash? Some places render "--" (double hyphen) as "—" (em dash). Currently Codidact does not -- so these are left as double hyphens in both the edit preview and a rendered post (like that). Would it be useful for Codidact to automatically render double hyphen as an em dash? Are there settings in... (more) |
