I believe this was a glitch related to this particular upgrade, and not upgrades in general. Or, at least, we haven't seen this in the past. We're not sure what caused it yet and will continue to...
One advantage of threaded comments is that the exchange isn't in anybody's way. If User A posts, User B comments, User A says "thanks, fixed", and nothing else happens, no harm done. If that's th...
It's been pointed out in a few places that, so long as creating tags is much easier than managing them, we're going to have problems handling typos, duplicates, and tags that otherwise ought not ex...
Intended. Or, more specifically, a special case that we didn't intercept. Reactions are not "baked in"; they're defined by each community. We seed some default ones, but a community can remove t...
If you edit a ping into a comment and that user is not already following the thread, we now send a notification. We don't want to send multiple notifications and we can't easily withdraw the alrea...
Now that we have filters, we should remove the native button and add a toggle for native (non-imported) posts to the filter options. As you point out, "native" is not, logically speaking, a sort b...
This is on our roadmap. The current plan is to allow anybody involved in the thread to rename it, with an auto-comment to the thread recording the change: something like "title changed from (old) ...
Every user already has an associated unique number (it's in your profile URL). The easiest way to distinguish user names for deleted users would be to use that number. This is what SE does. A co...
We currently have no way to suggest an edit for tag descriptions. This is a known gap and it's blocking the natural awarding of the Edit Tags ability. I think it probably also blocks doing someth...
Most of the time, any logged-in user can post a new top-level post (question, article, maybe other types). Categories can restrict this posting access, however. For example, on the Meta blog, onl...
We've made some progress since this question was posted, but there is still work to do (especially in the case of deleted answers). Edits to questions and closures are more specific (I assume reop...
The notifications bug is known and we're working on a fix. (It has to be made in one repo, propagated to another via npm, and then of course deployed. I think we're waiting for the npm step at th...
Oh sorry; I'll fix that description. By "help using the sites" I think we meant issues specific to this network. You can go ahead and ask Collab meta questions on Collab; it's a small community a...
I'm not a videogamer, so I'll admit up front that I'm generalizing from related areas: as a boardgamer or RPG player, would I want to share space with people creating games, game systems, modules, ...
The user profile now has a network preference to make the top (navigation) bar sticky. The default is the current behavior (not sticky).
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 nam...
Do Activity and Vote Summary need to be separate tabs? One could call it History instead and then have filters and sorting on it or expand the number of tabs into a larger list (questions, answer...
Is there one account (email/password) for the whole network or one account for each site? There is one account for the whole network. Profiles on individual communities are auto-created when ...
You can search by answer count by adding post_type:1 answers:n to your search. To find unanswered questions, search for post_type:1 answers:0. When you type post_type: in the search form, you'll ...
There doesn't seem to be consensus for all communities, but any community that wants new moderator-only tags, FAQ or otherwise, can have them -- just let us know (on your community's meta). The ca...
Update based on feedback I really like the ideas proposed in this answer, which at the time of this posting has the same vote count as this question (+6, -0). The proposal in that answer creates ...
I agree that someone who asks for the comments should see the comments, especially with the "collapse" control. Very occasionally here (so far; this happened often on some sites Someplace Else), t...
Done. I also found and nuked [my-test], [status-this-is-a-test], and [somebody-test] (eliding the identity of "somebody"). We, uh, need a way to make newly-created tags more visible for community...
This is fixed using the approach Mithical suggested in a comment: when the last comment in a thread is deleted, the thread is now automatically deleted.
Instead of adding another button, we've made search more robust. Better documentation will be coming, but you can now search for answers:#. answers:0 finds unanswered questions. Actually, it fin...
