Comment Post #277052 No repro (but different OS & browser), *but* when I just tried the image did not appear in the preview until I clicked in the post box after uploading. I don't know if that's related.

Comment Post #277029 When we implement trust levels that will be explicitly allowed: even if you can't do anything else yet, you'll be able to vote and comment on stuff on your own questions. I'll see if adding that exception now, before trust levels, is straightforward.

Answer A: Why does the title come after the body when writing a question?
I made that design decision. If it doesn't work we can of course change it, but the reasoning is pretty much what @pnuts said in another answer. On other sites I've seen a lot of bad titles, ones that didn't match the question that came out at the end of the question body, and I think that's becaus...

Comment Post #277007 @MathPhysics ghost towns aren't a good look, for the network or for the individual site, so we'd like to have some indication that there will be activity. We're learning as we go, which is why we don't have hard-and-fast rules. I'm not very familiar with Math.SE, so I don't know how to answer your ...

Comment Post #277007 @ziggurism oh wow; I had not seen [Henning's profile](https://math.stackexchange.com/users/14366/hmakholm-left-over-monica). It looks like he contributed a ton there and was looking for another place to share, so it seems worth contacting him and letting him know about Codidact.

Answer A: Need a mathematics Q&A site
Right now we don't have a good way of identifying people who would help build a new community, so let's do this: if you are interested in helping to build a math site, please leave a comment describing your level of interest (casual visitor, enthusiast, expert in this subtopic within the site's scope...

Comment Post #276994 I have spent a lot of time playing RPGs (mostly D&D through 3.5, with some misc mixed in) but don't currently play and am not up on the latest developments. I would participate in questions that are more "craft" and less rules-interpretation. If there is a blog that welcomes "craft" posts and/or re...

Answer A: What are the steps between community idea and community proposal?
One thing that's hard for us to gauge, and is important for a new community to get off the ground, is level of interest. People might upvote a proposal out of interest ("I'd read that") or because they think it's a good idea in the abstract ("a site like that should exist") or because they want to a...

Answer A: Should there be a community here for Linux users?
Note: Please see also How should we approach our (non-developer) software community proposals?. We are trying to work out how this proposal interacts with others. (It sounds like Linux is probably different and that won't affect this in the end, but I want to make sure folks are aware.) Right no...

We haven't launched it yet because we figured syntax highligh...

Comment Post #276905 Templates should always be treated as starting points -- suggested text, but not a format enforced by the UI. That way if you need to adjust the presentation for a recipe, you can. For example, sometimes it makes sense to treat a thing and its sauce as two mini-recipes within a recipe. (@Mithra...

Question Do we need templates for new posts?
We have some posting tips on the "ask question" (or "create post" etc) pages, and we plan to add better contextual help in the future. Another way to guide people would be with templates, a "proto-question" (or proto-blog-post or proto-challenge etc) that you get in the editor. A template could be ...

Answer A: Should bugs and feature requests go to local Metas or Meta.Codidact?
If you know that a bug or feature request is broader than just your site, it's better to post it on main meta if you can. (Things known to be specific to one site belong on the per-site meta.) Reporting bugs or requesting features on main meta should mean less duplication compared to reports on (po...

Comment Post #276884 @pnuts if people only participate on one site and there seems to be a place *right there* to report issues or make requests, it will seem natural to some to do so. The downside, as you say, is that fewer people will see it or know it's already been reported -- but we shouldn't assume that all users ...

Comment Post #276873 More direct interaction for the author is intentional, yes. Some things *only* the author can fix, so send that signal early so the author can address it and get an answer.

Comment Post #276873 @Marco13 agreed; we might need to change things with scale, and push vs pull is an important factor. I think suggested edits are important enough to be called out as I suggested, because good edits actively improve quality *and* people who get prompt responses to their contributions are more likely t...
