False positive for 30,000 character limit I tried to edit a post, but I received the following message saying it is over 30,000 characters. I double checked in a text editor that the number of characters is 27,835 (as shown in the Codidact edit text box - see the orange writing at the bottom right of the image below), and also confirmed that...

I was thinking that there could be a step before passing the post through the markdown renderer, where 2 newlines are added after every `</summary>` closing tag, but having thought about it for a while I guess that would mean also having to add a way to exclude tags that appear inside a code block, a...

The last example in the question shows bold and italics are affected too, so maybe it is all markdown, rather than just block level. (more) |

Details tag requires an internal blank line to render markdown When using a `` tag to add an expandable section to a post, markdown will mostly still work inside the expandable section, but some of it will not work on the first line. Markdown treats multiple lines as a single line for rendering unless separated by a blank line or a trailing pair of spaces. This ... (more) |

The priority order settled on is never going to please everyone (we all have different things that are important to us) but as it's open source anyone is free to work on something that is not at the top of the priority list. I don't know the Ruby programming language so I haven't been able to work on... (more) |

I haven't seen an objection to making changes. Comments from Codidact staff on my posts have been positive and seem interested in finding out what is wanted. They are volunteering and don't have full time hours available. It seems like they are making changes as they find the time, rather than being ... (more) |

I have recently raised a large number of bugs and feature requests on Meta and I like the fact that the community can vote to show which ones are more important to them, to help prioritise work. As the work will be done by a small team of unpaid volunteers I didn't expect to see any changes in the sh... (more) |

> We live in a world where there are many types of users, there are almost as many use cases
I definitely agree with this. I'm in favour of customisation. I'd like to see the option to change the default sort order per user per site, so I can set it to my preferred sort by Score on sites that are ... (more) |

> Relatively trivial UI features are ignored in an effort to force conformity
The downvotes on this answer appear to be an objection to making the sort by Age the default. That's from other Meta users. The question itself has net positive votes, which suggests Meta users would like to see the opti... (more) |

> The order that answers (and comments) are displayed should be chronological
Although I disagree for answers, I do agree that comments should be displayed in the order they were posted (as they currently are). Comments are much more likely to form a dialogue with each referring to the previous, w... (more) |

A: Option to sort answers by Age I posted this feature request because I'd like to see the option to sort by Age, for those occasions where I'd find it useful or interesting. I definitely do not want to change the default sorting order. I like the current default of sorting by Score. I would still use Score and Active most freque... (more) |

I agree that the default sorting order should remain by score, not chronological order.
I posted this feature request because I'd like the option to be able to sort by age *on occasion* - not as a default. (more) |

For me, I'd use it most often on Code Golf Codidact, where answers are competing solutions to coding contests. I sometimes like to see the answers in the order they arrived to see how new strategies emerged and then went on to be reused or adapted in later answers.
Similarly on Meta where the answ... (more) |

A: "Random from user" ad template, for "selfish sharers" like me More suitable for sites with Challenges than Questions For me personally, I'd most like a "Random from user from Category", so I could have an ad that shows a randomly chosen one of my posts from the Challenges category on Code Golf Codidact.

It's possible to disable the previous searches list with `autocomplete="off"` on the input tag, but I know that's not ideal as previous searches is useful functionality and the post_type filter is a relatively rare use case.
The z-index is already dialled up to 9999 so that doesn't help.

MathJax rerenders on movement instead of on change I've noticed something when using MathJax while preparing/editing a post.

However, it also rerenders each time I move the text cursor, even if... (more) |
