Switch it off ***in*** the question list? What question list do you mean? The front page? The search page? In that case, you've misunderstood the scope of my request, but I do agree havi... (more) |

Quoting myself:
> (can't think of a better way to suggest tag merges that is possible with today's tools (except for in chat))
Well, creating a post on meta, is another option, but I prefer to avoid it for really trivial cases that are obviously trivial beyond any reasonable doubt. (more) |

It actually _can_ be a big thing. Currently, the requirements for obtaining abilities such as the curator ability, are quite high. One declined flag can make a difference.
I'd like to put forth an example: just now, I flagged one of my own posts to request a tag merge (can't think of a better way... (more) |

| Question | — |
Category activity indicator is lit for one's own activity When new posts are submitted to a category, a small circle is displayed next to the category's name, within its tab in the category bar. This activity indicator is displayed even when the only new activity is your own posts. That shouldn't happen. It's possibly not worth it to spend resources at c... (more) |

| Question | — |
List all duplicates for a question on the target question's page Currently when viewing a post, there is no indication that it's being used as a duplicate target. As a curator, it's useful information to me that when I view a question, I am also informed if any other posts are linked to it as a duplicate. As such, I'd also want easy access to these posts. ...

Codidact isn't a discussion forum, so while comments _can_ be used for extended discussion, such a discussion serves little purpose to the network. Comments should be used primarily for post feedback and criticism (main categories, meta somewhat excluded). Any other useful information that arises in ... (more) |

Eh, I'm a bit confused here. By "cleaning them up", I'd assume you mean to delete comments/archive threads. But then you go on to mention voting on comments, editing, etc, etc. There's too much in this post. You'll either have to split it up (in which case existing duplicates are around), or dive dee...

@#8082 Can each community choose entirely themselves which licenses to allow, or are they limited by a shared set? Because in that case, there can be a shared page describing all the available licenses across the Codidact network, with each site listing which ones they allow, and which ones they don'... (more) |

Yeah, that seems like more work when all I want to do is for a double-click to take me where I am in the preview, to the source.

@#53890 Both; which is one reason I'm in support for better layouting and functionality overall, on the editor page, but that's a separate concern. The preview exists so you can read through the post as it will be displayed, which is what I'm using it for. I often find typos when reading it, and I al... (more) |

Auto-navigate from post preview to post source I'd like to be able to double-click in a specific location in the preview of the post I'm writing (or editing), and have the site scroll up to the post source (input box), and scroll and move the cursor to the location in the source responsible for that part in the preview. It's important that a s... (more) |

A: How do we want to organize the help center? Right now, the help center is structured with a main landing page with sections containing lists of specific help content, with each of these contents being on specific pages (example). That's fine, and I suggest keeping the design mostly as is. However, on each specific page, the sidebar should be r... (more) |

Maybe you as the post author wants a discussion, but nobody else does. People don’t visit Q/As for discussions, but for answers. That’s why we make them clear and isolated, and why we have strict rules, to maximise their usefulness to later visitors. (more) |

A forum implies discussion to be a goal. Sure, we discuss the site itself on Metas, that’s one of the goals, and why we even have a tag for it here, but that’s it. There’s a big difference between Q/A and forums. Our Q/As (excluding Metas), are supposed to be direct, fluff-free, and with no discussio... (more) |

If there are too many incentives, people will abuse the system only to get the rewards. If you’re skeptical, go see what experiences SE had with their Documentation experiment. Even then, there’s a bunch of examples of people already abusing the existing systems for rewards. (more) |

I think something similar has already been requested numerous times in various meta posts, as well as chat. Can you elaborate on what the problem is? It's very much clearly available on desktop, but I do agree hiding it behind the hamburger menu, as is done in the mobile view, is the wrong choice.

I’m strongly opposed to duplicating comments, so if that’s the solution you’d suggest, I’d wanna see some examples. But the second one sounds better. (more) |

@#53890 You're right, and that's what I'm hinting at by the end of my post. I just find it a bit annoying when I'm met with baseless accusations delivered with such harshness. It's unconstructive, and doesn't suit this place. (more) |

I'll elaborate: your query for links from me, is an attempt at proving me wrong, and proving the statements you put forth in the other thread, correct. As such, it makes no sense to split it up.
