Where do meta questions about the Codidact Collab site belong? Should I ask questions about the Codidact Collab site here on Codidact Meta, or over on the Collab site itself? I notice that Collab doesn't have its own Meta section, unlike most Codidact communities. I thought of asking this question on Collab, but I noticed the tag wiki for the `support` tag th... (more) |

Very strange. I haven't seen that myself, only the dependence on changing width described in the question. That appears to affect any community though, not just Meta, so maybe these two problems are unrelated? (So might be worth raising yours separately.) (more) |

| Question | — |
Lack of availability of info on hover with touchscreen devices Many aspects of Codidact pages have title text ("tool tip[]()" / "hover text") that gives further detail/explanation when the mouse pointer is hovered over them. This useful information is unavailable on touchscreen devices such as mobile phones and tablets. In those cases where the additional inf... (more) |

Logo becomes tiny in mobile landscape mode and narrow desktop windows Related bug (not sure if the solution will be related): - Logo shrinks from blue notification circle The size of the community logo at the top left of the page changes based on the width of the window. On mobile, with a narrow screen, this gives a large logo that is easily visible on the s... (more) |

The meaning of "follow new" on your own posts Below each post, at the top of the comment section, is a link to "follow new". The title text displayed when hovering over this link says "Follow all new comment threads on this post". It is clear to me what this means for posts other than my own. However, it seems confusing for one of my own post... (more) |

Link to a specific edit in the history I can link to the edit history of a post, for example, the edit history of the meta question you are reading, but I can't see a way to link to a specific edit in the history. Is there currently an undocumented way that works? Could explicit support for linking to a specific edit be added? On... (more) |

For anyone arriving here to report that it has happened a second time (as I was about to myself), it seems Codidact are already aware - it's mentioned at the end of the [new servers blog post](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/286582). (more) |

The whitespace below the icon works, but also above the icon, to the left or to the right. Knowing that any of those work might help if trying to use the buttons on mobile where touching a small area accurately is challenging.
If you can zoom, it's a lot easier if you zoom in, touch the whitespace... (more) |

Good point. I think in other contexts I'd expect that of a `+`, but in the location where I already expect to see a new message button my first thought was "new message" rather than "hidden info".
Either way it seems like the symbol is best avoided for this link. (more) |

The fixed warning for MathJax communities (rather than trying to detect whether they have actually used MathJax) sounds good. Otherwise, does MathJax have to be enabled for the whole subdomain or is it possible to disable it just for the profile page on a site that has it enabled elsewhere? (more) |

I like the unified look. I definitely prefer it with icons - makes it more immediately intuitive. I wonder if it would help to omit the word "Start" to reduce reading time without losing clarity. (more) |

My personal preference would be the second, with an icon for both buttons.
Would you be interested in separate voting on each idea, by posting them in separate answers? (more) |

Potentially misleading plus symbol with "follow new" link I like the new "follow new" feature that allows being notified of any new comment threads on a post. However, I think that using a plus symbol (`+`) next to it could be confusing, as this is often associated with adding a new comment, rather than being notified of new comments. "follow new" link w... (more) |

Code block exceeds the screen height on mobile I like the new taller code blocks when working in the desktop site, but they can be problematic on mobile. On mobile, even in portrait orientation (screen height is larger than screen width), a code block of 40 lines or more can exceed the screen height. This makes it possible to accidentally let ...

I guessed that "network preference" meant network-wide preference setting per user, but I had to go to my user page and look at the preferences tab to be sure. Would it be worth including a link to the [user preferences tab](https://meta.codidact.com/users/me/preferences) to remove any ambiguity? (more) |
