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. (more) |

> 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 ... (more) |

Status-overcome-by-events, actually -- that flag is now gone, so the problems with its comment prompt are too. Comment preview (in general) is being tracked separately. (more) |

Post edited: Really status-overcome-by-events, but rather than making a new tag... the "needs author's attention" flag has been removed, and with it the associated comment prompt. |

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. (more) |

An inbox notification, triggered by some threshold (N days, after first interaction on the site, etc) could be another approach -- doesn't get in your way like a popup but still asks for attention. (more) |

A: Some things I observed as I started poking around Codidact Thank you very much for this feedback. Seeing our platform through the eyes of a newcomer is very valuable, and there's a limited time window to capture those impressions. I'm going to comment on some of the points you raised without attempting to cover everything, in the interests of doing somet... (more) |

A: How are tabs handled in code blocks? To answer the question of what the behavior is: in a dev environment, I created a post with two code blocks, one containing spaces and one containing tabs. I couldn't just type the tabs into the post editor because the browser intercepted the tab and treated it as "move to next field". I created te... (more) |

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. (more) |

A: Trying to use Markdown formatting on detail-section labels causes unexpected centered alignment in preview There are sometimes unfortunate differences in the preview and final rendering, due to having to use different libraries for client-side and server-side rendering. I don't know if there's anything we can do about this oddity. In the other post you linked, the problem is caused by the markdown hea... (more) |

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... (more) |

Thank you. This is very helpful! (I'll try to have more specific responses later. :-) ) (more) |

A: Filters don't allow negative Min Score We've added some better guidance in the UI, including the score ranges (0-1) and a link to the scoring help. The layout isn't as nice as it would be if the work had been done by someone with a deeper understanding of how to do front-end layout, but perfect is the enemy of done, so here's something t...

A: Add a "log out of all devices" button I would like that too. Unfortunately, this would require some major code reworking. Sessions are currently stored client-side via cookies, and our developers tell me that moving them into the database is a large change. If and when we move to multiple web servers we will need to do this work, but w... (more) |

A: How can I fix or edit comment thread titles? Not yet, but this is a functional gap that we want to fix. Currently, moderators can silently rename threads; we want to allow anybody who is involved in the thread to change its title with public logging (a new auto-comment in the thread saying something like "so-and-so renamed from X to Y").

A: Shouldn't be able to delete question after any response The presence of an answer already blocks deletion (except by moderators, who can override this). Allowing the presence of a comment to prevent deletion would be too easy to abuse, as pointed out in other answers. Moderators can recover comments, so in the event that there was something important in... (more) |

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. (more) |

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.)

We could show the +/- scores in the tooltip for "N votes" -- flipping the primacy of votes vs score but keeping both available. (more) |
