Notifications and Communities buttons not responding to icon clicks Previously, clicking on the icon for Notifications or Communities at the top right of the page resulted in the appropriate drop down panel appearing. Today, the panel only opens if the square area around the icons is clicked. Clicking on the icons themselves does not open the panel (although it still... (more) |

Category new activity indicators reset after release Thanks very much for the recent release of bug fixes and features. It's also highlighted another potential improvement: I notice that since the release the grey circles indicating that a Category has new activity appears for all communities for all Categories.

I've just been looking through some posts on Writing for an example, and the only one I found was a fake footnote using `<sup>` for superscript. No examples of a markdown footnote. I'm sure I've seen one at some point but I can't think which community it was on.
I can't say with certainty that it ... (more) |

I can't remember noticing footnotes either way in the past, so I don't know. The post where I noticed it was one I posted recently on Scientific Speculation. I'd be surprised if a regression/bug could affect only one site but mentioning just in case. I'll also link to [the specific post](https://scie... (more) |

This presents two problems: 1. Any subtle error introduced by the edit that prevents the post from rendering correctly will be difficult to spot, risking a faulty... (more) |

A: Codidact Collab - should it be listed?

A: Codidact Collab - should it be listed? Personally, I am not currently looking to learn Ruby and contribute to QPixel, but I am interested in occasionally browsing Codidact Collab to see what's happening. I only discovered it through a link I happened to stumble upon, and was completely unaware of it before that. If it was included in t... (more) |

Codidact Collab - should it be listed? The drop down menu at the top right of each Codidact page shows a list of all the sites in the network. The list is also shown in the page footer, and on codidact.com. There is also a site for people who work on the QPixel software that Codidact runs on, called Codidact Collab. However, this one i...

Thanks for the info. From looking through the CommonMark test cases, it doesn't seem that spoilers are supported, so nothing to add to the formatting help at this point. (more) |

Markdown spoiler sections - is there any need? Standard markdown does not include spoiler sections (hidden until clicked on).

(So "close as finalized" would not mean there is anything wrong with the draft, just that it has served its purpose and gone on to be posted as a finished challenge - the purpose of this close reason would just be to allow hiding them with a filter so only the drafts that still need feedback are show...

Looks good - and it makes sense to focus on per-post type first.
One potential confusion from the penultimate paragraph: I had previously thought of closing as duplicate in the sandbox as a way of including a link from the sandbox draft to the finished post, but perhaps it would be useful to have ... (more) |

Adjustable size comment text area The character limit for a comment is 1000, but the text area in which it is typed or edited is much smaller than this. Most comments are short, but some comments can have reason to be longer, and others can be taller despite being only a small number of characters (due to quote blocks, code blocks... (more) |

In a ideal world, we would wait until close reasons can be per post type (or even better, per category) before switching on the ability to close articles.
However, in the real practical world, switching on the ability to close articles creates a pressure to implement per post type close reasons. W... (more) |

This sounds plausible. Before the edit that failed, that post had 14,072 characters (same in bytes) in the markdown, while the HTML had 15,313. So after my edit that duplicated the markdown to roughly double the length, the HTML would probably also be double the length, taking it over 30,000 characte... (more) |

I'd be equally happy with enlarging 1 or diminishing 2. At the moment, I've used 1 and 3 in one of my other posts in order to avoid 2 altogether, which is subverting the semantic intention and makes me feel bad about accessibility. (more) |

Thanks for pointing this out. I've actually just edited my post before seeing your answer, as I realised after posting that there is a difference (it's easier to see in the example as both headings start with "Heading" so the fact that the words are not the same length stands out).

| Question | — |
Main and subheadings are almost the same size, but not in the edit preview When editing a post, headings with a single hash `#` show as significantly bigger than headings with a double hash `##`. However, after saving, these two headings are much closer in size (to the point that my initial draft of this post mistakenly claimed that they are the same size). For example: ... (more) |
