| Question | — |
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) |

Not sure if you've already seen [Moshi's comment on this Meta post](https://meta.codidact.com/comments/thread/7007#comment-18865) but I had a quick look and it appears that the [change from that pull request](https://github.com/codidact/co-design/pull/73/commits/cecb043099757e1d46589cb2a30c55d81dda31...

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) |

Drop down panels drift away from their buttons on zooming Note: This is not related to the recent code release - I noticed this before that.

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 ...

MathJax in profiles displays differently depending on community Some communities have MathJax enabled, which allows including mathematical notation in posts. I wondered whether this would extend to the user profile, so I did a test. I edited my profile to include the following: ```text Testing MathJax in a profile: $1+1$ ``` The preview showed mathe...

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) |

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) |
