That's one possibility. If it also has a favorite tag, though, the person might want to see it. So it seems like we need to choose one of:
1. Favorite overrides ignored (you see it as a favorite)
2. Ignored overrides favorite (you don't see it or it's grayed out)
3. Neither applies and you see ... (more) |

I don't think there's a specific reason we didn't, other than that no one was asking about it at the time. What should happen if a question has both a tag you list as a favorite and one you ignore? (more) |

We definitely want to have some indication of tag-based domain knowledge, whether that's badges or something else. (One idea would be that, on answers to questions, the usercard could indicate this state for applicable tags on that question -- e.g. this is a C++ question, so right there under the an... (more) |

Yeah, somebody's already working on adding a donation button or link to the .org page, I'm pretty sure. (Separate repo, because the foundation is not the network though there's a ton of overlap.) (more) |

That's a good thought. Now that we've got something in place at all, we can look into adding recurring donations. I hadn't thought of that. (more) |

@#8045 I think the first comment was about .com, not .org (.com = list of communities). Or `donate.codidact.com` sounds like a good approach too. Or if all of this is too much hassle, we can presumably massage the wording on the page to be clear that you're supporting the whole project and not just... (more) |

Ah, thanks. Yes, that I can reproduce. So when you tab out of the textbox the button lights up; looks like we need to do whatever check we're doing when you click out for tab too. (more) |

Yes! I'm really proud of everybody involved -- our community members and leaders (without whom we would be in trouble), the team building the platform, all the people who help us make it better by testing, poking at things, and asking "why?" and other questions. We've been able to do some significa... (more) |

I can't reproduce now, using Chrome. Can you? Specifically, I started a 14-character comment and then tried the following tests:
(1) shift: button not enabled;
(2) shift-enter: button enabled, which is correct because that's the 15th character.
I then removed a character (so down to 13) and... (more) |

A comment thread was archived because it looked like the changes discussed in it were made. I might have misunderstood. You can still see it; you have to click on "show more" under the other threads. (more) |

Sounds good, thanks. I archived it because I wasn't sure if it provided context for edits, should anybody be looking at the post history later. Probably could have deleted, but I took the less-destructive option, which still gets the thread out of the way. (more) |

Oh, I'm sorry -- I mistook the "I have edited to explain" to refer to a *post* edit, so I (and a flagger) thought the whole thing was obsolete. Does this thread cover it, or should I un-archive the other one? (more) |

I'd say a combination. Moderators can suspend the ability right now if they want to; maybe we didn't do a good-enough job of communicating that with them. But some sort of automated traffic control also sounds like a good idea. (more) |

Maybe I'm in a minority, but I'd rather have the tags in the title. When I go to a question page I read from the top down, but the tags are at the bottom. (I once proposed moving tags to right after the title, but it didn't go over well.) I don't know why SO has that policy or whether it's been di... (more) |

That's an interesting idea -- a sort of "share the space" measure, as opposed to an absolute threshold. A busy community can more easily absorb a few bad questions. (more) |

I mocked up an [example for site proposals](https://a.dev.codidact.org/posts/313) on the test server -- take a look. Note that reactions are per post type, *not* per post type per category; I created a "proposal" type that's like questions, so it could have its own reactions. (more) |

*Who* voted isn't public, but the fact that you *got* votes is public.
Reactions are signed, so there's no expectation of privacy there. (more) |

According to the [announcement](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/284455), that's possible now. I'm not sure, but it might need an admin assist to turn on reactions for other post types. Let us know what you'd like for your communities and we'll try to help. Or for here on Meta, I guess make a meta ... (more) |

This question came up in the earlier design discussions, but it looks like we never resolved it. We want to give some indication that reactions might be obsolete, but we don't want a trivial edit to cause this effect (fixing a typo doesn't make the answer not outdated, usually).
I like the idea o... (more) |

You can dismiss it by clicking on the "react" link under the voting buttons again. This is like flags, close, the inbox, etc -- not super-obvious, but yes you can get rid of it again. (more) |

True, you can edit and at least say there's a problem even if you don't yet know what the fix is. And if a self-answer works, somebody else might add that reaction. (more) |

@#53503 oh right, sorry -- you need to opt in to that. See the "so you're a moderator now" topic in the help on the community where you're a moderator. Sounds like we need to be more proactive in pointing new mods to that, sorry. (more) |

We've sent mail to moderators letting them know that (a) this is live and (b) how to configure it on their communities.

I downloaded your PNG and was able to upload it in an answer on that post. You linked to a comment thread; were you trying to embed the image in the comment? How were you doing that (since we don't provide the uploader widget on comments)? Please add more information about what you did. (more) |

Thanks @#53526! I, too, find it exciting to be able to build -- and adjust -- what our communities need, with a lot more flexibility than is available in some platforms/projects/sites. I love that we aren't stuck with limitations baked into the code base a decade ago! (more) |

"Similar" (nice suggestion) and "exact duplicate" seem like useful terms. "Similar" questions would remain answerable; exact duplicates wouldn't. We probably want them to share some workflow; I expect a lot of nominations to start as one and end up as the other. So maybe we present a list of quest... (more) |

Your comments make me think of "related questions" or, if that sounds too broad, "question clusters". If people interested in question A probably also want to see question B, we should have some way (that's less ad-hoc than reading comment threads) to create those connections.

Thank you for this thoughtful feedback. I like the ideas you're suggesting here. One of the reasons I wanted to separate duplicate evaluation from other closure (and not even call dupes "closed") is the negative feelings that closure can carry. We certainly don't want askers to feel bullied as som... (more) |

A "disagree" vote would start a new round of voting, and if the net score reaches the threshold it's un-duped. I see I described the notice but didn't include the voting buttons there, oops.

I don't think this is correct. As another answer says, the user-authentication system isn't tied to the Codidact network; you can set up your own, just as the users on our test server are separate from this network.

@#8056 your last request is already there. The post is behind an expander so people looking for comments jump to comments, but you can expand to see the post. Coming soon: if the post is an answer, you'll also be able to see the question from the thread page. (more) |

Code Golf might have a use case for this, though it would require cross-category duplicates too: they want to be able to mark sandbox posts, which are articles, as "finalized", meaning the challenge was posted.

Thanks Mark! I'm looking forward to more growth too. We're a lot smaller than Some Other places, but I hope we distinguish ourselves in how we treat people and work together.
