Sometimes a brain dump is a bunch of questions and answers, and in that case (as suggested in another answer) it's best to do the "dump + refine" step separately and post when ready. That way peop...
As you noted, comments don't count as "activity" on posts for purposes of bumping. Moderators have access to a list of the most recent comments, and I'd like to explore opening that up as an alter...
There are additional formatting options, including this one, under the Tools button: We have moved the lists and table to the main set of buttons and added a better tooltip for the Tools button.
Any default order we implement -- including the current one, which is order of creation -- will be suboptimal sometimes. Sorting by activity or reputation also means the order might change from da...
We made the avatar a click target, but not the whole box. The reason for the latter is that we want to keep open the option for other clickable things within that box later. One idea we've talked...
Abilities are earned per community, so those are actually not duplicates: you joined several communities and each one granted you those abilities. The problem is that the inbox doesn't show you wh...
March 2025 Notifications when you are mentioned in a comment are now clearer and more consistently formatted (c8df457d) Suggested edit pages now also show the category header for the post that ...
Drafts now save everything -- body, title, tags, license if you've changed it, etc.
We've reworked the footer, including removing the long list of links to individual communities. The footer has an "Our Communities" link that now goes to the dashboard instead of codidact.com (whi...
Not currently, but we are tracking an issue to allow following a post, which would include new answers (if you follow a question) and also post edits and other things. I don't know when we'll get ...
Here on Meta, if I edit my preferences to set a favorite tag, the tag is highlighted in yellow like this: However, on Proposals, it's not working. Here's the setting (I picked a tag at random t...
It's been a long time since this question was asked, and in the meantime there have been lots of changes to the platform. It turns out we can do most of what you're asking for now, although some k...
I am not able to reproduce this. I visited the "create post" page with NoScript turned on and this is what I see: Can you say more about where you saw codidact.org?
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...
The Site Proposals category is only shown to logged-in users, the text at the top points to the new proposals site, the "post" button says "not here" and refers to the new site, and if you try to p...
When you start to flag a post that you have active flags on already, you now see something like this:
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 i...
This is a bug in the front end (fix is under review now), but despite the incorrectly-shown message, you can in fact approve edits to your own posts. The buttons are active and they work. We're s...
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...
