| Question | — |
Should post tags go above the post content, rather than below it? Consider, strictly as an example, the question updating a function within a struct on Software Development. There's a reasonable number of programming languages where something like that might be possible, even when restricting that set to only those that use those terms. The person who asked t... (more) |

I disagree that this is a duplicate of https://meta.codidact.com/posts/281910. The two are certainly related, but that bug report is about navigating to a *specific* ability (and also, in spite of it being tagged only status-planned, appears to have been fixed) while this bug report is about the gene...

| Question | — |
When not logged in, the "Abilities" link on the profile page leads to a Not Found The user profile page right-hand column has an Earned Abilities block, which has an Abilities link at the bottom. When logged in, that link takes the user to their own abilities summary at `/abilities`, regardless of which profile was being viewed. That's perhaps somewhat unexpected (I would expec... (more) |

@#54114 Whatever font that is in your screenshot, it's almost certainly *not* actually Helvetica because [Helvetica](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica) is a [proportional font](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface#Proportion), while your screenshot clearly shows monospaced text. (more) |

How it renders for me in Firefox matches @#53922's screenshot very closely. Judging by the screenshot, your browser is rendering the text using a very different font than for either of us. @#54114, can you please try this with a brand new browser profile (or whatever functionality Chrome has that mat...

I already suggested in response to your [Movies, TV, Drama](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/282433) proposal that you should make your posts more self-contained. Knowing that some other site has some community at some URL does *nothing whatsoever* to help anyone understand why Codidact should have su... (more) |

My downvote on this proposal means simply "this proposal needs more work", not "I am against the idea of such a site". Don't assume that people will go elsewhere to figure out what you are proposing. @#53696 - this seems like a common issue with your posts in a variety of places across Codidact; you ... (more) |

A: Threaded comments are here! status-completed Notifications don't indicate which post is commented on For example, I got a notification that, other than specifying the community, simply read > There are new comments in a followed thread 'General Comments' Well, that's nice to know.

@MarkGiraffe Information Security SE certainly covers "cybersecurity" in the sense of "information systems security", so I'm not sure what OP means by the first paragraph. It also covers other aspects of security, including physical security, though at least previously, computer-related security ques... (more) |

A: My opinion about why there should be two medical sciences websites in the network So far, there isn't even one medical sciences site on Codidact, and although there is a Medical Science community proposal, there have been some very valid concerns raised in discussion related to that proposal that I don't see having been fully addressed. Also, I imagine that your proposed distin... (more) |

Another alternative for the thermometer would be to put it just above or just below the question title, with all three elements in one row. Yes, that'll steal some amount of vertical space; but it will pay huge dividends in terms of horizontal space. (more) |

A: Taking our design to the next level: feedback wanted Keep the "expand"/"preview" action link in place Another small detail, but something that has a tendency to annoy me. If I click on "expand" for a question, it does indeed expand to show more text, but then I have to move to "close" it again. If I am unlucky, I even have to scroll to do that. ... (more) |

A: Taking our design to the next level: feedback wanted Make another pass over the color choices Just some general observations here...

Several good points here, so +1, but it might be even better if this was split into multiple answers so voting can more clearly indicate agreement/disagreement with each. (more) |

A: Taking our design to the next level: feedback wanted Hover state changes shouldn't cause elements to change size As an example, try using a mouse on desktop to hover over some of the tags in the questions with more than one tag. The change of font weight (normal to boldface) causes the text to change size, which can potentially lead to a whole se... (more) |

A: Taking our design to the next level: feedback wanted Emphasize the site name over the network Currently, in the top left corner, where it says `meta.codidact.com`, while the site name portion ("meta") is in boldface, it's also in a slightly smaller typeface. (Looking at the CSS, apparently 15 px vs 16 px. This is enough of a difference to be clearly... (more) |

A: Taking our design to the next level: feedback wanted Don't call it "expand", call it "preview" Minor detail, but since the purpose of that feature seems to be to preview more of a post than just the title, let's just call it preview instead. It's a simple change and I strongly suspect it will make it more obvious at a glance what the function doe... (more) |

I too was going to suggest using `site:codidact.com` with one's favorite search engine. ([DuckDuckGo](https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/) also supports that specifier.) Who knows, maybe it'll even bump Codidact just ever so slightly in their rankings? (more) |
