Q&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 p...

Q&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...

Q&A Shouldn't be able to delete question after any response
