The most obvious waste of space is probably the sidebar. It doesn't extend to the bottom of the page, so there's a large area of blank space to the right as soon as you get past it. (more) |

@#116922 Here is the post at 100% and 150%. It does seem like it doesn't change between the two though, so I guess it only matters for breakpoints.

This is screen and zoom dependent - the linked post fits fine on the screen I'm using right now. In my opinion, changing the font size isn't really a solution either since that leads to legibility issues (We can leave that choice to the user, who can zoom out if necessary.) (more) |

This is a net culture issue, and of course the norms will be different on different sites, but I've always felt that cross-posting was frowned upon in multiple forums I've been in (including StackExchange, which many users will have come from, and which already heavily influences Codidact culture), s...

A: Abilities progress meter ahead of expected progress The way the site does the percentage, like most things on this site, is based on Wilson scoring, which uses fake data points to bias scores towards the center. The site is currently configured to add +2 positive and +2 negative, so given P positive and N negative, your ratio is (P + 2) / (P + N + 4).... (more) |

A: Notifying each other that a commented-on issue is resolved, to produce fewer comments rather than more It is worth noting that we don't need to have the thread be deleted.

Currently, only moderators can archiv... (more) |

I hadn't posted it as an answer since this solution is kind of a pain and not really something I would really want to force normal users who just want a resized image to have to resort to, but I guess it technically answers the question asked. (more) |

A: How to resize images Technically, you can do it by writing HTML manually: Code ```html ``` Result This is rather tedious though, and relies on some knowledge of HTML, so it would be nice if this was integrated somehow. (more) |

You could try doing it manually with HTML, but it's not exactly an approachable method.

A: How to avoid triggering mathjax? The trigger in this case is surrounding text with either - `$latex$` or `\(latex\)` for inline math - `$$latex$$` or `\[latex\]` for "display math" (centered and on a new line) The MathJax parser is smart enough to ignore `$` when there is only one on the line, which can make it seem inconsi...

Spaces were supported. They are rejected for non-technical reasons (which afaik were never explained beyond just saying that tags should not have spaces, [and should be all lowercase](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/277449)) (more) |
