Answer A: Make navigation bar optionally fixed at the top
The user profile now has a network preference to make the top (navigation) bar sticky. The default is the current behavior (not sticky).

Answer A: Questions previews were introduced: Can the layout be improved?
Question previews were added after some user requests; we'd been planning to eventually do a fancier "expand in place" design where you could use a control to see the beginning of the question and a summary of answers and then collapse it again, but that will take more time and in the meantime we cou...

Answer A: Questions previews were introduced: Can the layout be improved?
I'd like to see the "score bar" vertically align with the title, instead of being vertically centered in the whole "slot" for the post. (I didn't notice this with shorter titles in testing -- should have tried some longer ones!)

Comment Post #287424 I think it's a safe bet that if it affects any post it affects all of them; this is rendering code, nothing community-specific about it. I just don't remember them looking like this in the past, and now I can't remember when (or if) that was the case.

Comment Post #287424 That looks like a regression. I'm _pretty_ sure that footnotes used to display properly in single brackets in posts. The editor preview is sometimes different (something about the client-side markdown library versus the final rendering, I think). Does anybody else remember footnotes having single ...

Answer A: How do I suggest edits to the tag wiki?
It's been a while since you asked this and, sadly, we still haven't implemented suggested edits for tag pages so there would be a way to gain approved suggested edits. I agree it's frustrating. Moderators are able to grant specific abilities to specific users, so it is possible for a community to...

Comment Post #287021 I realize that this is a bug report and the other question is a support request, but the result of the support request was acknowledging the bug, so I went ahead and marked it as a dupe so that when it gets fixed there'll be one place to update, not two.

Answer A: Codidact Collab - should it be listed?
That's a good question. We kept it separate because we didn't want to distract people from their primary focus, which we assumed would be on the communities here rather than the underpinnings. Collab is linked from the GitHub repository and we expected that to be the primary path in. I don't hav...

Comment Post #287346 On the help, I meant that we could add the HTML workaround, since Markdown doesn't support it natively, if that would be helpful.

Comment Post #287346 We're using CommonMark and whatever it supports, but this might be a good thing to add to the [formatting help](https://meta.codidact.com/help/formatting).

Comment Post #287322 Comments don't have to be long in character count in order to be long in "height" on the screen -- depends on what's in there. A few lines of code (which happens on Software Dev, Power Users, or Code Golf) can make a comment that exceeds the editor viewport. Consider mentioning that use case in the...

Comment Post #287316 I assume the folks on Code Golf would have better ideas about what to call the two close reasons. Each community can edit close reasons to suit its needs; we just need to make it possible.

Comment Post #287316 @#53890 I was imagining that Code Golf would define something like "completed" (requires link) and "done"; I'll edit the comment to make that clearer. The first one would use the duplicate _mechanism_, but it doesn't have to be called "duplicate". The code already supports cross-category duplicat...

Answer A: Closing Articles
Articles can be made closable in configuration (does not require a code change), but it's a global, network-wide change, so we'd need to make sure that doesn't have negative consequences for any of our communities. The down-side is that currently there is one set of close reasons per community (no...

Comment Post #287315 Thanks for this investigation. That sounds plausible, and I agree it's confusing. I've filed https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/909.

Comment Post #287304 Maybe consider using 2 and 3, skipping 1 entirely? If the usual semantics are that a page had one h1 (which is the title of the question), then using 2 and 3 in the body of a post doesn't seem wrong to me. A little odd to start with `##`, but what the reader (or screen-reader) will see should still...

Comment Post #287304 I was writing an answer based on the original question and this answer while you were editing. @#8045, please see the suggestions in my answer. I, too, could *barely* tell there was a difference, and only because the word "heading" is in all of them. The difference between 2 and 3 is huge, though,...

Answer A: Main and subheadings are almost the same size, but not in the edit preview
I think the problem is in the relative sizes. Here's what I see -- and the first two looked the same to me too until I took a really close look: screen shot from post The first one is large, the second one is slightly smaller, barely, and then there's a huge size difference between the second ...

Comment Post #283928 With filters (currently under development), there's another use case: filtering out posts that have been "resolved". For the Code Golf sandbox that's duplicates pointing to the actual challenges or withdrawn challenges. For other uses of articles it could mean things that have been superseded, are ...

Comment Post #287130 My guess (haven't checked with someone who can confirm yet) is that profile descriptions are posts and posts have the restriction. For a question, answer, article, or other post type, a minimum length makes sense. I'm guessing that profiles inherited that -- an effect of design and not a specific d...

Comment Post #287129 How bizarre. I can't imagine that's intentional. Thanks for letting us know.

Comment Post #287128 Not intentional; I think it's just not a case anyone thought about. The _editor_ imposes a minimum length; the default profile text has never been edited, so it doesn't trigger that. We should fix this -- while a post in a community shouldn't be able to be empty, your profile is yours to use -- nor...
