Answer A: Clicking on an avatar to see a user's profile
We made the avatar a click target, but not the whole box. The reason for the latter is that we want to keep open the option for other clickable things within that box later. One idea we've talked about, for example, is to show a user's top tags (perhaps only when relevant to the current question), ...

Answer A: duplicate inbox notification from system
Abilities are earned per community, so those are actually not duplicates: you joined several communities and each one granted you those abilities. The problem is that the inbox doesn't show you which community a notice is from, so you had no way to know that. I've filed a bug to add the community n...

Comment Post #293756 You did ask this already (you can see the link in your profile), so it looks like your previous draft was incorrectly cached. I'm marking this as a duplicate so everything happens on the original one. Feel free to delete this copy (I was going to go ahead and do that, but wanted to make sure you se...

Comment Post #293757 Whoops! You're getting notifications for each community where you earn the privileges, but the notification doesn't include the community name so you can't see that. I'm sorry for the confusion.

Comment Post #293726 I agree; we match substrings for tags and should do so for users too. This came up in [another Meta post](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/291717) as a bug report, but the part about sorting is new. Thanks for the report.

Comment Post #293650 Do you mean the page of posts for a specific tag? Yes, having the same sorting options there sounds like a good idea, thanks. We have a [related (narrower) request](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/289418) and some [ideas in a GitHub change request](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/1198) fro...

Answer A: Inline code in comments overflows
This is now fixed, along with a bunch of other overflow bugs (thanks Zoe!). Here's a screenshot from this post on our dev server to demonstrate: very long title, post body, and comment now safely contained within their bounds

Answer A: Ability to sort search results by activity
Search results can now be sorted by activity in addition to the other options. We've also made the order of the options consistent: Activity, Age, Score on both search results and the category post list. (Other buttons are unique: Relevance for search, Random for category list.)

Comment Post #293570 There are no post previews on Mathematics Codidact *because* doing it by character count can lead to some [very, very tall entries in the list](https://math.codidact.com/posts/287515). Being able to specify the limit spatially instead of by character count would allow that to be turned back on.

Question How should the "all communities" profile tab handle deleted profiles on other communities?
I just noticed that on the user profile page, the "All Communities" tab lists all communities where there is a profile, including deleted profiles. If a non-moderator follows a link to a deleted profile it's not a 404; we have a "this user is deleted" page. Most of the time we don't link to deleted...

Comment Post #293486 That's a good point. When we created this section of the help, we thought we'd be including documentation that could be more sensitive, like advice on detecting sockpuppets. But nothing that's there now is sensitive and I'm not aware of efforts in the more-sensitive direction, so maybe we should j...

Answer A: Link to moderator help pages is presented to non-moderators
This feels like it should be a simple matter of an ability check, like we do in many other places when deciding what to show to a specific user. However, this particular link is coming from an ability description that is seeded in the database itself -- our code simply renders the HTML it's given, a...

Answer A: Is there a reason to keep the normal logo instead of the community one for Community Proposals in the communities dropdown?
We had fixed this a while back, then tried clearing the right place in the cache which fixed it on some communities but not others (weird!), and today after a deploy that required a server restart, it seems to be fixed everywhere now. I still don't know why it happened that way, but I'll mark this a...

Answer A: Proposal and design for temporary blocking of new user links (anti-spam)
We now have a couple anti-spam measures in place: - In user profiles, when the user has not yet earned Participate Everywhere, we do not render links to anonymous viewers. Logged-in users still see them, but there's no public propagation. - For posts, if there are active spam flags, we do some...

Answer A: Introduce a spam reaction?
Combining several suggestions here: if a post has active (pending) spam flags, then we take the following actions: - For anonymous users (people not logged in), we don't render the links. - For logged-in users, we add a notice to the post: "Possible spam: this post has pending flags for spam. Be...
