A: No escape from reactions dialogue box Since this question was posted, the user interface has been updated so that clicking outside a pop up panel makes the panel disappear. This means a new user unfamiliar with the site will now be able to dismiss panels easily, so this is no longer a problem. (more) |

I like this way of putting it - sums up your point perfectly. If someone is putting their time into raising a flag, we should avoid anything that puts them off. (more) |

If I've understood correctly, this answer isn't suggesting keeping the indicator circles for people without the Edit Posts ability, just keeping the ability to click on the Edits tab and see the suggested edits if desired.
(So it sounds like you both agree, just in different words.) (more) |

I see the abilities system as a work in progress. I'd like to see a meta discussion about how it could be improved. (more) |

30 posts is community specific - I believe it can be lowered for new communities (and there may be a case for lowering it for all communities - it would be interesting to hear how many people in each community have the Edit Posts ability by now in case that lends weight to the argument). (more) |

Before the notifications were introduced, people without the Edit Posts ability could already see the suggested edits (both pending and decided) by visiting the Edits tab of a category.
I understand this request as asking for the *notifications* to be displayed only to people with the Edit Posts a... (more) |

A: Edit activity show, but not allowed to approve The requirements for earning the Edit Posts ability which would allow reviewing suggested edits can be found in each community's help section.

Thank you!
I've checked the 4 examples from the question, and 3 of them now show with a single set of square brackets as intended. These 3 have all been posted/edited in the last few months. The [only one that shows differently](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/276213/276222#answer-276222) has not ... (more) |

I like that. (Bear in mind these are just my opinions - I have no more authority than any other voter here.) The only problem I can foresee is when the community grows and there are more votes, some of these may become more than 2 digits and not fit in the circle... (more) |

| Question | — |
Does "site" mean "community" or "Codidact" on License field? Above the drop down list for license when making a new post, it mentions "site default". As people use the word "site" to mean different things, this could be ambiguous, particularly for a new user. Would it be clearer to use one of the following: - community default - Codidact default I'm gu... (more) |

Ah I see now. Interesting. A separate accessibility issue is the contrast problem of putting the colours behind the text - but that could easily be avoided by having the same colour and shading to the side of the text instead of behind. (more) |

Also worth bearing in mind that having some of the info available on hover makes it difficult or impossible to access on a mobile device. That's already a problem with the existing state though, not specific to your suggested improvement. (more) |

The accessible palettes make an improvement in how *distinguishable* the colours are (more people will be able to tell them apart) but they do not help with how *identifiable* the colours are. Many people are already conditioned to see green as good and red as bad, but people who see the accessible p... (more) |

I don't have a Chromium based browser available to test with so I don't know whether the font size on Chrome is different causing 64 em to be a much larger pixel value, or whether it's independent of browser and related to any fonts / font sizes you may have overridden.

It's also worth considering whether 1068 pixels width is where you want the switch between limited and unlimited height to happen. Maybe this was aimed at having no height limit on mobile? However, on a full HD screen viewing 2 windows side by side (so each is half width), the unlimited height will b... (more) |

It turns out that the containing `div` tag has a class of `profile-text` which is defined to have a `max-height` of 500 pixels, causing a scroll bar if the profile content (text or image or any combination) is taller than that in total.
It's overridden by a `@media` query in the CSS that removes t... (more) |

I'm using Firefox on Fedora Linux. At width 1068 pixels and narrower there is no scroll bar and the full image is visible. At width 1070 pixels and wider there is a scroll bar and a small amount of the image is cut off at the bottom. (more) |
