A: Allow completely pseudonymous user accounts I'm not opposed in principle, but I don't think the amount of work is likely worthwhile. I imagine this sets you up for weird bugs far into the future. > - One person can have any number of email addresses. For someone who knows how, it's fairly trivial to set up a throwaway email account which ca... (more) |

I think I'd prefer the "answer to `$title`" version. Easier to delete than to click back and forth another time. (more) |

Maybe you should try the short "X" column at the end of one of your sandbox tests, with a long (wrappable) column as a middle column. (more) |

| Question | — |
Tables break words in first column On the site, table content is often jammed all together in the first column, where the next column is happily spread out. I have made some of my tables extremely terse to accommodate. This is from Chrome 122/MacOS on a 27-inch monitor (2560 × 1440): Sample table | Element | Description | |----... (more) |

I like the idea, but Mithical's point is important. Even the millions of dollars in the SE network haven't resulted in a `.se` for each of their communities. (more) |

If I were doing it, I'd patch the code to be `#{post id}-fn{id}` and `#{post id}-fnref{id}`. Easier to read than GUIDs and you probably have all the data already at your fingertips. With editable posts, I don't think GUIDs would necessarily even stay consistent. Whether you seed the GUID from the ord... (more) |

New activity grey circle indicators confusingly triggered on Dashboard It's basically this post, but for the indicator discs on the Dashboard. I click on an "updated" community of interest, but most recent post showing updates was changed months ago. I can't tell if there's a deleted post, so I'm just assuming that's what the "updates" are. But it could be something ... (more) |

\>0 after `trim()`, maybe, to get rid of spacebar-only stuff?
There's also an argument to be made for >0 after stripping `[^[:alnum:]]` to prevent posts of `.`, but this might get weird if someone tries a _real_ post of entirely symbols and punctuation that is too clever by half. (more) |

For what it's worth, I think the full-column left/right background should just be white. You already know it's a before/after view, no? Then narrow the subsequent styles one step each:
- Whole paragraph with changes: **pale** green/red.
- Modified characters: **medium** green/red (plus the underl... (more) |

Glad you're sticking around. I was a bit worried that my disagreements with your vote display scheme had soured you on the site. But I'm happy you're here. I even [quoted your blog](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/290068/290085#answer-290085) before you started posting. (more) |

_"To put it another way, the tricky problem is showing the difference between +0/-0 and +X/-X."_ Agreed. It's a problem that SO chose to obscure behind the 1000-rep click-to-see-raw-votes.
_"I'm not sure you necessarily need to use the same solution to both problems."_ That could be, but I'm going... (more) |

If there's a question that has only attracted poor answers, and the top one is +0-2 (or +1-6 or whatever), "Wow! Rank #1" is kind of misleading. If you mean "rank" meaning "cohort" like Isaac's pentiles, I'm interested. But if you mean `RANK() OVER (ORDER BY upvotes - downvotes)`, I don't want that. (more) |

Tag and children missing from tag hierarchy pages I was on the Software Dev CD tag page, clicking through the pages of the "Hierarchy" sort. I wanted to see if there were `git-` tags that are not nested under the `git` tag.[^1] Surprisingly, I discovered on page 4 where I expected to see all the `git` ones that `git` itself was not listed at all!...
