Cannot add tags during tour During the tour, the user is asked to add tags to their new question. The tags (either the suggested ones or other words) are not recognised, instead displaying "The results could not be loaded": Tags box showing "The results could not be loaded" This prevents entering any tags (pressing Enter ...

(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) |

A: A way to edit my suggested edits In addition to the mistakes in edits mentioned in the question, I would also find this functionality useful for times where I want to make a second (unrelated) edit before the first edit has been approved.

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) |

Ability to revert an edit Would people find it useful to be able to revert an edit from the history? I imagine that reverting the most recent edit would be straightforward to implement, but that reverting an earlier edit would be significantly more challenging to implement.

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.

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?

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) |

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.

However, it seems confusing for one of my own post... (more) |
