Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 11, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I noticed my new suggestion is implemented! Huzzah! Thanks to zorba an the team for that QOL improvement.

Now for my next question, is there a way I can make that carry over from computer to computer when I am using the same account?

It's a great addition. There is a bug where every time you click on expanding a response or loading more comments it adds another new to the post, so after 5 times it says newnewnewnewnewnew~

Any reason that we can get more than one of them on a single comment?

Why would you not say what your suggestion was?

Because I messed up the formatting. The "new " you now see was my suggestion. Stolen from the old SSC forum.

Surround it with backticks (`).

If you do it will say new.

Edit: lol never mind, that's probably a bug.

Even triple backticks to make a code block don't work.


new

It's unspeakable.

Wait, does escaping it with \ work? oooooh

Lol, works in the preview, but not the body of the comment.

So.... Editing your comment?

no! LOL I keep messing up.

the forum now says "new" with tildes surrounding it above new posts.

The strikethrough.

I'm pretty sure it's the ~new next to new posts/replies next to timestamp, which makes desktop searching for new content very easy rather than looking for a pale blue highlight.
