I realised that when I posted this Meta question I neglected to link to the example where I first saw the double brackets, so I have now edited to included that answer and the one I found today as examples. (more) |

In case it's useful in investigating this, I've happened upon a [post with a footnote that correctly has just single square brackets](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/276213/276222#answer-276222).
I notice that it was posted 2 years ago, and has never been edited, in case either of those things are... (more) |

Thanks for the info. Sounds like most of my concerns are already planned for.
In the Discord specific community channels I see notifications of new questions, which is why I wondered if the same bot could notify of new answers. If it's planned to have notifications of new answers directly from Cod... (more) |

Having jotted some thoughts down in this comment thread, I'm wondering whether it would be useful to have a separate Meta discussion about whether specific question discussions are better hosted in a Discord thread or a question comment thread.
As you are more familiar with Discord, would you like... (more) |

A Discord channel would allow notification of new answers, but I don't know if it's possible to set that up in a Discord thread. Maybe it would be useful to have a way of following new answers on a specific question (I couldn't see a way for new answers, only for new comment threads). (more) |

My previous king of the hill contest, posted Somewhere Else, had a chat room with new strategies and new players being discussed over a period of several months. Would we want comment threads on the question being used for that many messages? Currently, comment threads seem optimised (user experience... (more) |

Thanks for mentioning Discord threads - being unfamiliar with Discord I hadn't realised that was an option.
I'm happy to see comments on questions as long-lived rather than just suggestions for clarification to be deleted as soon as the clarification is made. My reason for wanting the strategy dis... (more) |

| Question | — |
Creating new Discord channels I've been looking at the Codidact Communities Discord channels (see the join us in chat link in the right hand panel of this page). Is it possible for Codidact Communities Discord users to create new channels? Currently there is a channel per community, but I was wondering if there is the option o... (more) |

(So the only places the bug is a problem are where a panel opens on the same page, rather than the link going to a new page.) (more) |

I think those are unaffected as they link to a new page (they are standard links, rather than being links overridden by JavaScript to behave like buttons). The bug is in the JavaScript, so a link that works without JavaScript (just using the default HTML behaviour for a link) is unaffected. (more) |

The mod menu that Canina saw the problem with was a different mod menu that does have an icon. It seems consistent with the explanation that only the mod menu with an icon has the problem. (more) |

For a button with only text, the HTML looks something like this:
```html
<a> // The <a> element corresponds to the whole "button"
Text // The text inside the <a> element does not have an additional <i> element
</a>
```
Clicking on the text counts as clicking on the `<a>` elemen... (more) |

For a button with an icon, the HTML looks something like this (simplified for illustration):

<a> // The <a> element corresponds to the whole "button"
<i> // The <i> element inside the <a> element corresponds to the icon image
</i>
</a>
```

Thanks for explaining, Monica.
As for the mod menu, I don't have access to it, not being a mod here, but [Canina's comment on this same Meta post](https://meta.codidact.com/comments/thread/7015#comment-18876) may give a clue. It sounds like buttons that have an icon have the problem, but buttons t... (more) |

I agree it's not generally a problem now that a panel can be closed by clicking anywhere outside it (not knowing which button opened it is no longer an obstacle to closing it). So even for people who need to zoom in to press a button and then zoom out to view the resulting panel, closing the panel is... (more) |

After some sleep I've had another look and the upper case T is just the avatar of the answerer, and the plain white image is the avatar of the question asker (just happens that their avatar is plain white - not a cropping of mine). The extra image when I'm logged in is my avatar for the top right.

A: Should post tags go above the post content, rather than below it? Tags should be at the top In addition to the possibility of navigating to the question from somewhere other than the questions list (which means I haven't seen the tags), I'd also find it useful to see the tags at the top of the question when I have navigated from the questions list. I don't necessa... (more) |

The only other 301 responses only show when I'm logged in, and are images of size 60x60 and 400x400. The 60x60 is my avatar, and the 400x400 is plain white - not sure if it's a cropping of my avatar, which does have a plain white background?
There are 200 response instances of my avatar too, so it... (more) |

The message in the padlock icon is vague, only mentioning images, not which ones. I've just had a look in the Network tab of the developer window and it looks like the only requests with a broken padlock symbol are returning a 301.
For example, there's a 301 response for "48.png" but then afterwar... (more) |

No indication of zero results in tag search When searching the Tags section, a search string that gives no results gives an empty results section, rather than a message saying there were no results.
