| Question | — |
No indication of no results when searching the user page When searching for a user, from the search box at the top of the users page, if there are no results then nothing is displayed. This can make it unclear whether the search has finished with no results, or is still in progress. Would it be helpful for a message to be displayed when there are no res... (more) |

A: Giving a fish vs. teaching how to fish There are things I like here, but I don't think all of it will work. I like the following: - Welcoming specific questions rather than only general questions. - Including hints at more general solutions when giving a specific answer. However, I can't see a way to make separate categories work ... (more) |

Just checked and I was wrong about the restriction being just an inconvenience. Since the Edit button below a post is replaced with "Review suggested edit", there is no way for me to edit that post until the suggested edit is approved.
I'd expect this to be a rare problem, as on most communities w... (more) |

For now, I agree that the restriction on approving your own suggested edits is redundant. As you say, I could simply make the edit directly rather than via a suggestion now that I have the ability, so the restriction is an inconvenience rather than a real protection.

Possibly related bug (probably too rare and unimportant to make a new Meta post, unlike you'd like me to):

Post history only shows 20 edits, with incorrect numbering In the Post History page for a post that has more than 20 edits, only the most recent 20 are shown, and they are numbered 1 to 20. The most recent edit is numbered 20. If another edit is made, the previously most recent edit will be renumbered to 19 and the new most recent edit will now show as 20. T... (more) |

Clarity for a user who has become signed out during editing Pressing “Save Post” during editing a post fails if you have become signed out. However, there is no indication that you have been signed out, the button just does not respond, and then becomes disabled. Could the button instead redirect to the sign in page and then back to the draft once signed in? (more) |

[Exact search doesn't seem to be searching in the title](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/279392) is a more specific form of this problem. When this post is marked "status-completed", that one should be too (unless it's marked as a duplicate of this newer broader one). (more) |

My intention with this post was just to highlight that the anonymisation that is already present can be bypassed in some circumstances. If you'd like to see the existing anonymisation removed, I recommend a separate Meta question. I don't have a strong opinion either way.

I hadn't thought of that. For me personally, I can't imagine ever having a need to select text in the preview rather than the question page, but if someone else does, please post an answer/comment.
Similarly, if there's someone who thinks they would find the link sufficiently useful that they are ... (more) |

Oh good point - I'd forgotten about that way. Since your own notification list probably isn't something you need a link back to, I agree that just two links is enough. (more) |

Good point - this is a very similar information leak. Mine only leaks this information to the flagger, whereas yours will allow the poster of the deleted post to have a good guess at who deleted their post too.
