A: Vote summary refers to "you" even for another's profile You're right; that's awkward if you're looking at someone else's profile. I have submitted a pull request to change this wording to: > A daily summary of votes received for posts. The user name is already shown in the line just above this one, so I don't think we need to repeat it. (more) |

Pretty sure it's the latter. We added code blocks to support Software Dev, and maybe blockquotes were part of that. I don't recall lists coming up, so I think it's "never really thought about it", not deliberate. (more) |

The current behavior is confusing, yes. If the viewer can see deleted posts I think we should link to the deleted answer (which has a notice that it's deleted). If the viewer *can't* see deleted posts (the usual case), we should show something like "the linked post has been deleted so we're showing... (more) |

That should say "Posts", yes. I thought this would be a trivial string edit that I could go ahead and fix. Found the line of code, and... it's being constructed in a way that I don't quite understand yet because I am a Ruby newbie, so I need to learn a little more first (or someone else will fix it...

There are a couple of in-progress efforts to improve search, [newer](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/pull/834) and [older](https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/pull/428). I have hopes that one of these will succeed, hence tagging status-planned. (more) |

You know, I had somehow missed that "activity" wasn't there. Oops. I've filed https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/894; I can't tell if it's an easy client-side change or a harder backend change, but with luck someone else can answer that. (more) |

A: How to make an edit that only changes the tag list by adding a tag that does not exist? While reviewing older bugs we discovered that this problem no longer exists. I'm sorry we didn't catch this at the time; I don't know if someone fixed it but we failed to update here, or if it was fixed as a side-effect of some other change, but I just tested this out in this suggested edit and it s...

We have a general *mechanism* for internationalization, but building out non-English versions hasn't gotten much attention so far. Contributions are welcome. The general idea is identifiers in the code instead of hard-wired strings, and then per-language YAML files that map those IDs to text. I'm ... (more) |

Thanks @#56850, and please do let us know how we can help. If you add SSO, I'll bet there are folks on the Codidact team who'd be interested in taking a look at what you've done. :-)

A: Using QPixel in education We've heard about a few people who were considering setting up their own instances, but I don't know whether any of them have done it yet. I hope people do; we didn't set out to just set up our own network of communities, but also to provide the means for others to do so. The qpixel repository on... (more) |

A: Filter to show only positive posts Ultimately I'd like this to be one of the predefined filters when we implement this feature, which is on the roadmap but will take a while. On the other hand, it seems like we have a more pressing need. One approach, which was the starting point for the question you linked to, is to filter the vi... (more) |

The icon that shows up in the usercard is a configuration option and can be changed. I suspect the one that goes with the "moderator" label in the abilities section of the profile is baked in. I agree that having two different icons is confusing. (more) |

A: Archive to mark as "resolved", without locking the comment? I think what you might be looking for is "resolved" -- you want to indicate that a thread has been handled, but you want to leave the door open for feedback. I would expect a hypothetical "resolve" option to do the following: - Hide the thread by default, as with archived threads. - Show "resolv... (more) |

I'm marking this as status-deferred because it's something that would be nice to have but won't be soon. Workarounds (not complete solutions) are the dashboard (tells you *that* something is new, but not what) and the RSS feeds. (more) |

It's a balance. When there are lots of comments, we've seen that some people won't keep scrolling to get to the actual answers. (We saw that on SE, and it's clear from the amount of repetition on some other platforms that it's happening elsewhere too.) Maybe we need to add an "expand all" control ... (more) |

That's the idea -- expand a thread in-page including the reply box and the other controls (edit, delete, etc). But make it two-step, so you don't automatically see everything in that 79-comment argument -- see the first 5 and that there are 74 more, and then if you want it, expand and it's all yours...

Somebody started working on inlining all comments but it seems to have stalled and I need to find out why. The idea is that we'll still show just the first five by default, so you don't have to expand a huge thread just to see what it's about, but then there'd be a "show rest" control. The thread p...

One reason we added threaded comments is that, regardless of intent or active moderation, we know from other sites that comments *will* sometimes be used for discussions. Sometimes those discussions are worth keeping (as background for an edit, for instance, or to alert people who would otherwise st... (more) |

What do you mean by them being hidden? Do you mean that only the thread titles are visible by default? Until there are more than 5 comments, you can see everything in-page, without navigating away. (more) |

A: Remove "Post" terminology from sites other than META There are other types of posts (and other types of top-level posts). In a comment you mentioned the category bar that contains "posts", "tags", and "edits". This has to work on all categories on all communities. While every community has categories where all top-level posts are questions, some h... (more) |

Adding a "Delete" button that soft-deletes the user immediately (in the UI) and queues the actual deletion (in the DB) for later seems like a good solution to me. I agree we should have it; my answer was to explain why "delete for real right now" isn't implemented yet. We do want to make this more ... (more) |

If we did "on hold" then we could do it immediately (as visible on-site). That's a good point.

A: Please allow a user to permanently delete their account The current email path (and asking you to prove you control the account, because email can be spoofed) is a stopgap. We do want to allow you to delete an account more directly. If you could make the request from the site, for instance, then the fact that you're signed in would already demonstrate c... (more) |

@#53878 we can contact you via the email address you used for this account. (Where "we" means a developer with DB access -- getting those error logs also requires DB access, so this isn't any extra load for anybody.) Thanks @#8103 for helping too! (more) |
