Should comments have unsupported tags warnings like posts? Posts have a warning when an HTML tag is used that is not supported: > Draft answer including script tag with warning that script tag is not supported Comments do not have a similar warning, but comments also have tags that are not supported. Should comments have a warning too? At present the u... (more) |

Good point. I guess even if we had an image data dump, we'd want to make sure that the much smaller version without images is still available for people who don't need the images and have a limited download speed / monthly limit. (more) |

Were you thinking of something you could request at any time, or a daily/weekly backup available to the public?
Depending on how much of the data you want at once (everything or something narrower like just the comments for a particular question) there may be some overlap with work on the [require... (more) |

That's useful to know - thanks.
I'm also used to ctrl+enter as almost the opposite - suppressing saving in situations where enter alone would save. For example, this works when editing the content of a spreadsheet cell in Excel or LibreOffice. Also for Google Sheets, so it looks like Google use bo... (more) |

I don't know what the best shortcut would be for this, but for contrast, currently saving an answer requires pressing tab 5 times, then pressing space/enter. I'm focusing on answers because for a question there is also a title and tags to fill in, so tabbing between fields is required even if there i... (more) |

I believe this refers to pages that show lists of posts, as opposed to an individual post page. For example, the question lists for each category, or search results, or a tag page (which shows a list of questions with that tag). I can confirm that the unintended formatting shows up in all of those li... (more) |

A: Unintended MathJax in post previews on list pages such as question list, search results, and questions on tag pages Main underlying cause In addition to the delimiters I'm accustomed to using (double dollar signs to start and end a MathJax block, and single dollar signs to start and end inline MathJax) there are also escaped square brackets and parentheses, which are enabled by default. These are currently active... (more) |

A: How should the "all communities" profile tab handle deleted profiles on other communities? Keep it simple To keep things simple, deleted community users should not show up for anyone on the "All Communities" tab.

A: How should the "all communities" profile tab handle deleted profiles on other communities? Until the system has a way to distinguish between the different reasons for deletion, we should ensure we consider users who have done nothing wrong, and have a strong reason for concealing that they ever (potentially accidentally) had a profile on a community that they have since been deleted from. ...

I like the idea of the moderator help pages being open. This gives users some expectations of how they can expect to be treated in different situations. It also may lead to more volunteers for communities that need more moderators.
Maybe individual articles in the moderator help page could be mark... (more) |

I relate. I learned to program in BASIC, back when the line numbers were part of the code. They would default to 10, 20, 30 so at first adding lines in between was fine, but eventually I'd be trying to guess where to leave space (should I make this new line 25, or 23 because I'm more likely to add fu...

I hadn't realised moderators could change the sequence. That sounds like a good start already.
Even if we leave gaps in the initial numbering, the addition of new links with arbitrary numbers means there may need to be renumbering at some point. The problem of renumbering to make room for a new li... (more) |

What would be most useful in terms of hierarchy?
I can imagine a single link that goes to a page containing more specific links.
I can also imagine a single link that shows those more specific links below it (perhaps as indented bullet points) so you don't have to follow the first link to find ... (more) |

Thank you both. That rules out a known Firefox bug, so we'll investigate it as a Codidact specific bug. (more) |

I've just seen [confirmation of this happening on Chrome too](https://meta.codidact.com/comments/thread/10468#comment-26318), so the Codidact problem is unlikely to be Firefox related. I don't know how that affects the Mozilla bug. (more) |
