Would that only apply while the previous flag is still pending? I'm imagining seeing no previous flag content when raising a new flag after a previous flag has been marked helpful, but not sure if anything should show if a previous flag was declined. (more) |

On the flags page that Olin mentioned, all 3 flags show up, so they are not being lost, just not being announced on the post to the user who previously flagged. (more) |

Just checked on the dev server: It doesn't give any indication that there is already a flag, and allows me to raise another. This applies immediately on the same tab, and also later if I open the same post in a fresh tab. (more) |

That's really useful - thank you!
Perhaps there could be an indicator on an individual post that just says "flagged" and links to that page you mentioned. (more) |

| Question | — |
Indication that I have flagged a post When I flag a post for moderator attention, an acknowledgement message appears, but if I revisit the post later there is no indication that I have flagged it. I would find it useful to have an indication, in case I see the post later and don't remember whether I already got around to flagging it. ... (more) |

I like the idea of side by side input and preview, particularly for long posts which currently prevent seeing the preview and input at the same time.
However, I would want to make sure that the preview still works for narrow windows or zoomed in browsers. Even among people who have a widescreen m... (more) |

There is already some use of a wider view: edit diffs in the post history have side by side comparison of before and after, and the page has no sidebar. (more) |

A: Rendering bug of HTML entity in hover text for tags guidance. While ArtOfCode's answer explains that this is unlikely to be fixed in the near future, there is a workaround. If you decide that you need a character such as φ in the brief usage guidance that shows on hover, you can achieve this as follows: Workaround - Go to the bode-plot tag page. - Copy the... (more) |

| Question | — |
User id shows instead of user name in comment thread title When a user is mentioned in a comment thread using `@`, internally the user is referred to by their user id number. The comment is displayed using their user name, but the user id behind the scenes means that if they change their user name, the name shown in the comment stays up to date. This work... (more) |

In particular, we could let a user choose whether to be contactable by direct message, or only in public messages.
Direct messages create an additional moderation burden though, so I would want us to consider only allowing direct messages to moderators, with all other communication being public. (more) |

It might help to also have more fine grained options: do I want to be contactable only in rooms I have already participated, or from any room? (more) |

I recall SE chat only allowing pinging a user if they have been active in a recent period of time. If implementing it here, I'd prefer to have a user not contactable until they choose to opt in to chat, but then continue to be contactable indefinitely until they choose to opt out. (more) |

In the same way that not everyone is on Discord, there may be people who do not want to be on our own chat system.
I'd like to see us implement a chat system, and remove the dependency on Discord, but I would still want it to be opt in. Not everyone who wants to participate in Q&A wants to be cont... (more) |

This would be aligned with the way moderator flags are currently handled - you don't see which moderator handled it. (more) |

The difference between Discord and a built in "contact a moderator" button is that on Discord you would be sending a direct message to a specific person who you know is a moderator, whereas the built in button would put you in touch with whichever moderator responds first. On Discord you would know w... (more) |

The developer window has a tool for manually finding the colour value of whichever pixel your mouse is pointing at, but I don't know of an automated way to get all of the computed values at once.
Some of the tools for compiling to CSS, such as SASS and SCSS, allow seeing the CSS output which might... (more) |

A: How to send message to mod other than by flag? Awkward workaround is acceptable until this feature is implemented You are correct, there is not yet a better way to contact a moderator than the awkward workaround you mentioned (flagging an unrelated post). To be clear: 1. A better method to get a moderator's attention should exist, so this w... (more) |

CSS filters are powerful (they can do far more than these simple adjustments) but I would want to think carefully before making them built in.
As a user script, browser compatibility is no problem because people it doesn't work for can simply not use it. If we made it built in we might break the s... (more) |

Code block copy button in more places, such as help documents I find the copy button on code blocks in posts very useful. Could this also be added to code blocks in other places such as help documents? For example, the Template for Proposal Posts would be much easier to copy if there were a copy button. (more) |

I was very tired when I posted that comment and completely overlooked that you might mean a suggested edit. Reading it now, being more awake, it's perfectly clear that "applied" means "approved" rather than "submitted for approval". Thanks for being understanding. (more) |

Native sorting button blocks other sorting orders The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list include "Activity", "Age", and "Score", which are all orders into which to sort the posts. However, for sites with imported content they also include "Native". This is not a sort order, but a filter, showing only posts that were not imported. T... (more) |

Thanks for the perspective. I appreciate that votes are difficult to interpret, particularly when the question seems to be also leaning towards an answer.

I can't speak for the downvoters. I don't know whether the objections are to the question or to the way it is phrased.

For future readers, note that this answer is to the initial bug report where I did not understand that the problem only occurs for some viewers, and I phrased the bug report in a way which made it sound like I was complaining about scroll bars.

I absolutely agree that horizontal scroll bars are the solution. Thanks for highlighting that the title and opening paragraph suggested the opposite.
