Comment Post #287618 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 pane...

Comment Post #287573 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...

Answer 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 nec...

Answer 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. For example, I may make a quick edit to fix a typo, then later realise there is a wordin...

Answer A: Please build inline editing functionality
Editing a question For editing a question, I see no particular advantage to either approach, so my opinion will be motivated by the advantages and disadvantages when editing an answer. Editing an answer When editing an answer, there are 2 aspects that influence my decision on whether to pref...

Comment Post #287573 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, s...

Comment Post #287573 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 afte...

Question 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. With this in mind, which is there more demand...

Question 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. This makes it unclear whether there is a problem with the site, or just zero results: No indication of no results in a tag search This i...

Question 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? I notice that Collab doesn't have its own Meta section, unlike most Codidact communities. I thought of asking this question on Collab, but I noticed the tag wiki for the `support` ta...

Comment Post #287549 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.)

Question 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. This useful information is unavailable on touchscreen devices such as mobile phones and tablets. In those cases where the additional...
