Comment Post #291158 Cross-category duplicates work within the same community, *so long as* they are both questions. (You can't currently close a question as a duplicate of an article, which is occasionally a problem but we haven't gotten to it yet.)

Comment Post #290455 I filed a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/1277) for reparenting a comment thread, which would partially address this. (You could then move the comment threads from the about-to-be-deleted answer, where "you" probably means a curator or moderator, TBD.)

Comment Post #291028 How is what we do now different from Karl's suggestion? (Ignoring the profile tab that Karl acknowledges would be a separate matter.) The links do link to the user-specific pages. Karl's answer describes link text rather than a button -- is that what you're asking for? I marked it as declined b...

Comment Post #291029 I didn't mean *that* abuse vector; I meant a different one where somebody tries to flood us (DOS). If that becomes an issue, we would look at rate limits. Do you know how to make the modal aware of previous flags without a refresh, with our current architecture? (I don't, but there are lots of t...

Comment Post #290956 That's odd. I [temporarily trusted codidact.com](https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/8kytx244x8q99o39i9lpcqkrob9b) and refreshed, and `codiact.org` didn't show up for me. I did this in Firefox, in case that matters. I'm glad to hear that .org JS isn't required, though!

Comment Post #290941 It's a little unclear what you're asking or suggesting here. This is probably something better discussed informally in chat, with individual suggestions or feature requests as separate Meta questions.

Comment Post #290922 Duplicate, but currently we can't close a question in one category as a dupe of an article in another. Working on that, but in the meantime I'll leave a placeholder answer to point the way.

Comment Post #290917 I think it's ok to have a general question here about the software platform. If people were asking lots of details we'd take it to Collab, but Meta is sort of the "commons" for our network.

Comment Post #290860 Validating length after stripping unsupported HTML seems like a good idea to me. In contexts where the minimum length is longer, this would look like a post (not a blank page) and people would want to know why the length wasn't enforced.

Comment Post #290855 Hi meta guy, and I'm sorry about the experience you had when you were just trying to help. We'll get this figured out somehow -- I don't want that to drag you down either.

Comment Post #290764 Maybe a filter option for "my favorite tags"? You can filter on tags now, but you have to maintain that manually and we already have the concept of favorite tags, so maybe we can build on that?

Comment Post #290699 I'll have to defer to the developers for a more detailed answer, but I believe we are using third-party libraries for Markdown support, not rolling our own.

Comment Post #283318 Would you be interested in making this proposal on our new [proposals site](https://proposals.codidact.com/help/proposals), where people can also start asking and answering questions right away to test out the idea? From the votes it looks like this proposal has a lot of merit; are you still interes...

Comment Post #290623 I wouldn't worry about that, Michael. The questions were unclear and the author didn't respond to requests for improvement, so they were eventually deleted. They weren't off-topic and new questions are welcome.

Comment Post #290471 For anyone who's wondering, this isn't "jumping the line" because the request came from a staff member; it's status-planned because I think I actually know enough to be able to _fix_ this one without bothering the real developers much. And because the lack of visibility has been a source of frustrat...

Comment Post #290455 Not currently possible. (Well, someone with direct DB access can do anything, but that's not what we're talking about here. :-) ) "Reparent a comment thread" seems like a useful thing to add and _probably_ not too hard. Converting types probably requires more work.

Comment Post #290441 > But why? The help center already has topics unique to each community. I'm not following along here. Sorry -- let me try again. Each community can "fork" help topics to locally customize them, and can also add new topics. EE, for example, has done significant rearranging of their help. That's ...

Comment Post #289337 I suspect it has something to do with the content of the comments -- specifically, either the code blocks or the URL making the comment wide and that somehow affecting the post. Or maybe I'm completely wrong -- the challenge of insufficient data points so far.

Comment Post #289351 How is your workaround working out? I had one further idea: we can make the "do-not-use" tags moderator-only, which would block people using the synonyms and not just warn them about it. I currently see one use of one of these tags.

Comment Post #290389 Collecting first impressions is something I very much want us to do; it's easy for us experienced users to become acclimated to something that's posing an entry barrier and not realize it. This is Meta, and I'm not overly concerned with what form this takes. The important thing is to learn about us...

Comment Post #290315 Oh, thanks for catching that. Close behaves like flag, FYI. Maybe we should just give everything of this sort an "X" in addition to whatever other things work, because that's a clear signal. Hmm.

Comment Post #290315 This is true for all the modals -- inbox, search, flag, close, react... they're toggles. (Well, almost all -- moderators have a "tools" option that behaves differently, and there might be some others, but in general, if you clicked to open it and you don't see an X, click again to close it.)

Comment Post #290299 Probably a display-only bug. The "you can't review this" notice incorrectly appears, but so do the buttons. It looks like you can in fact approve edits to your own posts even if you can't approve others. We're looking into this.

Comment Post #290268 We have some pending changes to help with redaction, including rollback. There's also a proposal (I don't recall where this stands) to raise an auto-flag for redactions. If those aren't enough, we can add more restrictions. On the one hand we want to get things like API keys off of the public site...

Comment Post #290079 Redirecting to the dashboard view for logged-in users is a good idea.
