We're absolutely interested in helping new contributors, and we don't have as strong a mentoring program as we'd like. We encourage prospective contributors to join our platform Discord server, wh...
Search results can now be sorted by activity in addition to the other options. We've also made the order of the options consistent: Activity, Age, Score on both search results and the category pos...
I just noticed that on the user profile page, the "All Communities" tab lists all communities where there is a profile, including deleted profiles. If a non-moderator follows a link to a deleted p...
We had fixed this a while back, then tried clearing the right place in the cache which fixed it on some communities but not others (weird!), and today after a deploy that required a server restart,...
We've fixed this by fixing the underlying issue that made this change not as trivial as it first seemed. That text was, it turned out, baked into our code -- fine for us, but not appropriate for o...
Identify and protect key slugs Some help topics are linked to from within the software. For example, the search page links to the topic for advanced search, formatting help is linked when creatin...
This checkbox is now labelled "Stay signed in on this device".
Some mitigation: Sometime in the last several months (sorry I missed updating here at the time), we added a flag type that is visible to people with the Curate ability: Change post status Th...
This one has been a thorn in our sides for a while, but I think we've finally fixed 500s from tag search for all of the cases that were breaking. It turns out that our pagination code did not like...
This is a partial response, not a complete answer, but I want to provide an update. You're right that the various policy-related links are not as prominent as they should be. Changing the TOS, ev...
Request #1 is now live; the button says "view post", implying nothing about how you got there. We have some discussion in progress about how to approach request #2. If the suggested-edit page wer...
I agree we want to make it easier for those being recruited for a specific proposal to be able to focus on that proposal and not all the others. You can see all the posts for a proposal by startin...
We currently show who deleted a post -- regardless of whether anything was flagged -- to anybody who can see the post. This seems to me like a good thing for transparency. If it was your own post...
I'm glad you found the tag. Another place where some context shows up is on the page you linked to for the git tag:
Not necessarily the first column, but there's something wonky in that one: X Element Description . hydrogen Fusce molestie nibh id tellus semper, at porta nisi rhoncus. Praesent...
From the Meta category on Writing I clicked the "subscribe" button, filled out the form, submitted, and got this error: Following the instructions there, I am reporting it here.
We reviewed this and have decided to leave titles as text-only, but we have a workaround that we hope isn't too difficult. To support HTML entities we'd have to run titles through HTML rendering, ...
This is fixed going forward, but existing deletion records haven't been updated.
We believe this has been fixed by some other changes made since you reported this. I marked it status-completed based on that, not because I can point to a code change. If you see this again, ple...
We have had some bugs in edit history. Fixes for these bugs apply to future edits, but we don't have a good way to update events that predated the bug fixes. That edit was six months ago and I kn...
The cause of this bug has been found and fixed, going forward. Correcting the existing cases of this incorrect reporting wasn't practical, but it shouldn't happen again.
The "Close" link is no longer shown to people who don't have the ability to use it. If you can't vote to close and you think action is needed, you can flag instead.
The last activity shown there was for the whole page, same as what you see in the question list. That's confusing in the history case, as you point out. We talked about updating it to show the co...
We haven't identified the cause of this bug yet. It's not caching. The posts are correctly tagged, but they aren't showing up in the tag search. One is deleted so wouldn't anyway (but I guess th...
We don't have a custom reason yet, but there is now a third option: no public reason. This means you don't have to give a wrong reason, even if you can't customize a right reason.
