Q&A Rendering bug of HTML entity in hover text for tags guidance.

This is something we either can't fix, or can't fix without significant effort. It's been a little while since I last checked what browser tooltips can do, but one thing they can't do is render HTM...

Q&A "Body is too short" error when posting middle-click-pasted answer with no changes

Fix pushed. When you save a post, we don't take what you typed into the textbox and convert it to markdown on the server, if we can avoid it (we still have to if the client has JS disabled). There...

Q&A MathJax isn't highlighted when selected

Unfortunately, this isn't something we have control over. It's down to the MathJax library and how it renders the math. If you look at the page HTML, by default it renders math by putting every cha...

Q&A Bug reports: meta.codidact.com or codidact.org?

I'm assuming you mean forum.codidact.org, rather than just codidact.org? The former is a discussion forum; the latter is just a static site with nowhere that you could report anything. If that's t...

Q&A Review the reviews, show other users' feedback, filter reviewable items by tags

These may well all be things we do when reviews are implemented. At the moment, reviews don't exist, so I'm marking this [status-deferred].

Q&A automatic linking to a specific category, by title

This has taken a little while to get to while I did some research into how feasible it is. For the moment, I'm putting a [status-deferred] on this - I know that's not the answer you were hoping for...

Q&A Images are stretched, not scaled, on narrow browsers

We support browser widths down to 360px, which is the smallest common browser width on most modern mobile devices. At that width, I see this: Even going smaller than that, I can't reproduce what y...

Q&A Link to deleted user's post visible on front page but post returns 500; breaks category Atom feed

These bugs are related but slightly different. Both should now be fixed.

Q&A Show User's Vote on List of Posts

Having had a look into this, the cost of doing this in terms of database and page load time is prohibitive. Perhaps it's doable with some caching here and there, but at that point we're investing w...

Q&A Subscriptions settings don't sync between sites (even though everything else does)

There's a difference: your user account & profile is network-wide, whereas your email subscriptions are per-site. I can see the use of having a single network-wide page to manage your emails, b...

Q&A Bug in displaying footnote links

Inline footnotes aren't supported: you'll need to use full footnote syntax instead, i.e.: here are some words[^1] [^1]: example footnote

Q&A Don't add duplicate notifications if an unread notification for the same event type and parent post already exists

I thought we did this already, so I had a look. Turns out we were using the wrong link to check for duplicates, which I've updated. You should find you only get one notification per comment thread ...

Q&A Network-wide sign in created accounts for me on all sites even though I had no accounts there beforehand

It's not the network sign-in that's created accounts for you - it's visiting the sites. When you visit a site and are signed in elsewhere, an profile is created for you on that site. So, with netwo...

Q&A Main and subheadings are almost the same size, but not in the edit preview

[status-norepro] If you use your browser's Inspect Element feature, you should be able to find the computed font sizes on each. On all browsers on my end I see h1 as 27.2px and h2 as 25px. Admitte...

Q&A Subscriptions graph doesn't make sense

This is by design. The users you're seeing created before the site... well, they were - they're user accounts that were created elsewhere before EE launched (like mine - which is one of those on De...

Q&A A vote in the meta category for the EE site reflected in my reputation. Is that a bug?

All categories are treated equally; voting in any category affects reputation. This is different to how it works on Stack Exchange, but that's just one of those differences - neither approach is n...

I've declined this, for the same reason that I've declined other similar Unicode-related "bugs" before. They're not really bugs, just a product of how easy Unicode is to abuse. The solution: don't...

Q&A Should [status-completed] be used before the changes are live?

[status-completed] gets added once the code has been written, reviewed, and merged - i.e. is ready to deploy. Once [status-completed] has been added to a post, you can assume it'll be deployed in t...

Q&A Closing Articles

While I can see the point here, I also don't see much benefit in allowing articles to be closed. The only function closing has is to prevent a post being answered. That's all it does; it doesn't d...
