Code blocks in posts have a "Copy" button at the top right, allowing copying all of the code in the block with a click (or a tap on a touchscreen device). I find this very useful, both because it s...
There is a link in the right hand panel or bottom of the page on mobile to "join us in chat". Chat is an entirely optional extra, but I'm curious about it's usage, so this question is intended as ...

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 dis...
On the user profile page there are some posts showing, with a link to “See all”. After clicking See all, the total number of posts is shown at the top. Would it be useful to have a nu...
The “Copy Link” button below each post has been changed so that it now has a pop up offering either a raw link or a Markdown link: This always appears just below the button, even when the le...
Try to create a new comment thread under a post by adding a title but no comment. The “Create thread” button is active, but clicking on it does not work because a comment is required. On desktop a ...
Currently the old Site Proposals category points to the new Proposals community, presumably as a temporary measure until people get used to the new community. This is not ideal, as described in the...
I've noticed something when using MathJax while preparing/editing a post. Each time a change is made to the raw text, the preview rerenders accordingly. This is the behaviour I expect, which ensure...
The cause of the lost line spacing The raw text of your post is converted to HTML ready to be displayed by your web browser. The text is split into paragraphs based on the presence of blank lines,...
When I use an HTML tag to alter the appearance of a paragraph in a Codidact post, it works but the line spacing is reduced, which I do not want. Why is this? Is there anything I can do about it? E...
I was in the middle of drafting a very similar Meta question when I noticed this one had just been posted. I will instead post my thoughts here as an answer, to prompt further discussion. I see the...

We currently have a limit of 5 tags per question. Should we keep this the same or would any changes be of benefit? For example: Should the limit be higher or lower? Should there be different ...
I altered a few settings to give some options. None of these are finished but should hopefully give starting points for further discussion of which things to change and how much. The effects are ex...
Currently answers can be sorted by Score or Activity: I'd like to be able to also sort them by Age. Would this be useful to anyone else?
