Even on a desktop, it feels like there's a lot more stuff on the page before I get to the first search result. Expanding the filter shows how the search was built, which I assume is why it's open by default, but I've been wondering if it should start collapsed too. I hadn't realized it was also ope...

I hadn't thought about the effects of votes, thanks. I think your conclusion is sound; the votes don't matter as much as the discussion around the proposal, and we can always use Meta to focus on specific cases ("what makes this question so great?").

I've updated the proposal to talk about filtering incubator Q&A, taking disagreements to meta (not edit wars), closing/archiving proposals that aren't working out, and curating the incubator. Thanks for your feedback! (more) |

Edit wars for the proposal are an important consideration. Thanks for bringing it up.
I'm imagining the description (wiki) post as the "current working draft", with discussions being resolved on meta using the same tag. The wiki post type also has comments for smaller points, so you don't have t... (more) |

Yes, we've been thinking about the incubator idea for a while, and needed to have filters in place before we proposed it here. I'm expecting two (general, sometimes overlapping) types of participants: people browsing a broad range of content, and people focused on one or a small number of proposals.... (more) |

It's a lot easier to use multiple accounts to support a proposal when "support" means "add your name to a list of interested people", and a lot harder when it means "help build a good body of Q&A to show that this community would work". That said, yes, we've had some problems in the past, and it's s... (more) |

We could archive them in a category that's not publicly visible. I like having some way to clean up incubator questions that aren't going to help a proposal advance. (more) |

| Question | — |
Let's improve how we manage proposals for new communities Related: Incubator (takes all questions that aren't ontopic anywhere else) community We currently use posts in the Site Proposals category to organize proposals for new communities on our network. Sometimes a community has come together quickly and this has worked really well, but most of the... (more) |

A: Redundant "Posts" heading on every community in the dashboard There are some additional sections visible only to admins and/or global moderators, which is why the heading exists at all. But you're right: for the vast majority of people, that's the only visible section, so the heading looks odd. I think the solution would be either to only show that heading ... (more) |

I don't know if anyone's started thinking about reputation on the network profile. First step was to figure out if it would help. So the possibilities are wide open right now. (more) |

Probably the easiest thing to do is to shorten the alt text. Instead of "user avatar", does "user pic" work? (more) |

| Comment | Post #287696 |
Is your request specifically about the _dashboard_, or are you looking for an easy way to see reputation across all communities and the dashboard is a list of all communities? If we had the [network profile](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/284) and attached it there, would that work? (more) |

The search result in your screenshot is [this answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/277995/278491#answer-278491). The body shown in the search result is the first part of that answer, not the question, and the votes and author are for the answer too. I just reproduced this by searching for "site ... (more) |

Oh, good point about "always show my questions" -- didn't think of that. Thanks! (Now that we have this I want to be able to set a filter for viewers who aren't logged in, yes. We don't have that piece yet.) (more) |

Announcing filters We've seen many requests over time for some way to customize what you see on the list of questions in a category – finding unanswered questions, hiding closed or low-scoring questions, or building more personalized views. You can use search for one-off queries, but until now you couldn't set a sticky... (more) |

I agree that's confusing. I'd like some guidance from someone with actual visual-design clues and I don't want to lose track of this, so I filed a CoDesign issue to track it: https://github.com/codidact/co-design/issues/89 . (more) |

The regex governing this is `const altRegex = /!\[(?:Image_alt_text)?\](?:\(.+(?!\\\))\)|\[.+(?!\\\])\])/gi;` (in `app/assets/javascripts/markdown.js`, but if I try to touch a regex I might cause the world to end or something. Happy to get a PR from someone with more clues than I have! (more) |

A: Recent feature changes to the Codidact software December 2023 - Editor preview now alerts you to HTML that will be stripped out before posting.

A: Blocked from posting to Collab by script tag inside code block Summarizing some discussion in Discord (Communities server, network-town-hall): the problem wasn't trichoplax or an IP issue but, rather, a code block that contains a `script` tag. Cloudflare is detecting that as an attempt to inject Javascript, apparently — it doesn't detect the difference be... (more) |

We do want to get this fixed, though. If it's coming from Cloudflare it could be IP-based. Don't reveal anything secret, but is there anything different about how you're accessing the site compared to in the past?

I attempted to reproduce the problem but [was able to post](https://collab.codidact.org/posts/288049) (I'll delete that later when this is resolved). I was expecting a general Cloudflare problem. I'll make sure our sysadmin team knows about this. (more) |

A: No response when clicking on the title of a thread on a recently deleted post I think we should match "interaction type". The person clicking on a thread title expects an in-page expansion, not a new page, so I think an in-page notification about the deletion is better than moving to a separate 404 page. When the front-end code finds out about the deletion (by trying to ex... (more) |

I don't know what the best way to handle this is and I don't have a lot of personal experience with reading code on my phone, but I also don't want to lose track of this issue so I filed https://github.com/codidact/co-design/issues/81 (note: Co-Design, not QPixel). (more) |
