Q&A Observations about the Incubator "emergence-effect" and deadlocking

You seem to be interpreting the incubator as the home for all questions that don't fit anywhere else, and also as a primary entry point for people new to Codidact. That's not the goal. The incuba...

Q&A Move posted dated box to white space to the left of poster information?

Q&A Comments don't like multi-line code :/

When comments were all shown directly under the post with no way to collapse them, it made sense to restrict formatting that could make them take up a lot more vertical space. But (a) we do allow ...

Q&A Let's revamp our status tags

I agree that distinguishing these kinds of responses from other moderator-only tags would be helpful, and that we don't need to keep doing what we started doing early on when we needed something. ...
