Would it be bad UX to have mandatory letter assignment when creating new post types? Can be confusing if that ends up with different letters meaning the same thing across communities, or the same letter having different meanings. Maybe admins can manage these letters? Since it's purely cosmetic, does... (more) |

| Question | — |
Add post type and title to the URL This would make zero functional change to URLs. It's purely cosmetic. A link to a post on Codidact often contains no user-readable information about what awaits at the destination. When I find links online, I very often look at the URL in order to get a rough idea of what it links to. Sometimes I ... (more) |

@#85389 Karl wasn't arguing for the exclusion of people, he was arguing that users should be demanded to think more thoroughly about uploading specifically an image.
I do not agree with him that simply hard-blocking people because of image size is the correct way to do it. In case the user _did_ t... (more) |

Quite honestly, that's an awful example to make your case with. That's an effortless question, and can be argued is just as much a misuse of the ability to upload images at all. The problem also lays at an earli... (more) |

I already covered that in my previous comment. After cropping, the images are still way over the limit. Other times, fullscreen images are necessary, for instance from video games, so cropping isn’t an option.
Also, no, you’re underestimating the time and effort it takes to resize or compress an ... (more) |

Well, I have a 4K screen, and the screenshots often end up around 20 MB. Lowering their size is quite tedious, as it involves trying and failing, often because the image loses so much quality when I try to get it below 2 MB.
I think anyone that uses images in posts legitimately, attempts to crop ... (more) |

@#8046 Loading images should be deferred to after the page itself has loaded, such that they don't hold up loading in the page itself, and interacting with it. Additionally, you can load in lower quality versions until the full quality one has been downloaded. (more) |

Drafts only save the post body For quite a few months now, every single time I have loaded up a draft that I was working on, only the post body has been loaded in. The tag list and title never appear. They are either not saved, not loaded, or both. This concerns at least questions and tag edits (yes, tag edits). I have not tested ... (more) |

Not at all. It's simply a matter of curiousity, however, my intentions for using the information wouldn't really be relevant here, especially not for Writing, because the topic of the question itself, isn't valid for that community... (more) |

I asked because I couldn't find a suitable community, not even amongst the proposals. So yeah, there's definitely a need for a new one if we are to host this question. I don't see how this question's topic coincides with Writing. A "Crime Scene Investigation" or "Forensics" community is something I w... (more) |

More active developers with time to implement improvements to the codebase. The pool is limited. I was going to contribute myself, but have found myself in a situation where I stopped programming due to changes to my life and health.
There is a huge backlog. If you're able and willing to, within t... (more) |

Yeah, this shouldn’t really have been tagged «discussion», but «bug» or «feature request». Some things should simply be up to the developers to fix based on intuition and common sense, and not need a discussion on Meta beforehand. But that said, it doesn’t really harm us that it’s brought up. Nice to... (more) |

Of course, it would be important to preserve that. It doesn't necessarily have to be different paths, though, it can be linked to with IDs. That would break backwards-compatibility, on the other hand. (more) |

Where can I ask about a matter of diminishing health as a result of crime on the Internet? More specifically, I'd like to ask if ransomware has ever resulted in a suicide; we know that ransomware has led to deaths in hospitals, and that internet blackmailing has caused suicide, but I'm not sure if ransomware has led to a victim committing suicide. Does any community fit a question like ... (more) |

I also don't like how this would enable people a way to anonymously attack another user. Imagine user A has a set of posts, and user B starts targeting them with false flags. User A may very well notice the attack before a moderator invalidates the flags, but never find out what's been going on. I'd ... (more) |

I find this nothing but a distraction. If you can trust users enough to let their flags have an immediate effect, you can likely also trust them enough to simply hand them a spam handling ability.

| Question | — |
Redesign the tag page to provide more clarity about the tag's attributes Tag wiki pages are currently a bit unclear on a few things. If you possess good knowledge of how that page is built, it's pretty clear to you that if it doesn't list something, it means it doesn't exist. That goes for parents, children and synonyms of the tag. However, that's confusing to anyone with... (more) |

Thanks, I wasn't aware. I'll open a new feature request instead, for a redesign of that page, moving that list down together with parent and child tags, as well as mentioning that the tag has no parent, child or synonyms if that is the case. It's quite confusing that the information is simply gone at... (more) |

If we could somehow support attributes for elements specified in markdown, such as images and tables, and find some syntax for this, we could quite easily add this as an attribute. Other attributes could be size, alignment, etc, to give the author more control of how the element sits in the text. (more) |
