Pushed some updates to the commenting system live today: π₯³
Allowed tags are now displayed as clickable buttons within the commenting form.
Improved comment “preview” system (thanks @coothead for the feedback).
Users can edit comments for up to 12 hours after postingβthis window may change based on feedback/observations/etc.
Added individual email notifications controls for both “level 1” comments (get notified regarding all new comments) and “level 2” replies (get notified only when there are replies to specific comments).
New error handling for comments that contain content flagged by our cloudflare filters (previously caused a “freezing” effect with no messaging).
“Updated” indicator for comments that have been edited since they were first published with a timestamp pop-up on hover.
Davinciβ’003 scans all comments/bounty replies for HTML errors with fix suggestions if found. More info here
This is just the first round of updates we have planned. Be sure to share any feedback, bugs or suggestions you have to help us continue to improve the commenting experience here. π€

@Steve_R_JonesmoderatorI'm testing ALERTS: OFF to see if it stops sending me emails...Mar 21.2023
@Steve_R_JonesmoderatorThe COMMUNITY list shows this thread to have a date -> March 13th, 2023 From the list it looks old and unanswered/not replied to.Mar 21.2023
@themolitorauthorUPDATE: added total number of comments to the main community (and bounty) listings.Mar 21.2023
@Steve_R_JonesmoderatorCould/Should the Date and or Time STAMP be consistent through out the site? I'm seeing these four variations:
Mar 13.23
March 13th, 2023
Mar 18th, 2023
Mar 20th, 2023(updated) shows time when hoovered
Suggestion-> 03/22/2023, 3:07AMMar 22.2023
@themolitorauthorUpdated. After some testing, landed on "Mar 24.2023" as the most universal format to display. We found other formats like m/d/y are confusing for those who use d/m/y regularly.Mar 24.2023
@ByteAtATimeHi, I feel like having a toggle icon seems more intuitive than an item in the menu bar.Mar 31.2023
@themolitorauthorMar 27.2023(updated) βΒ #Update: Added support for jsfiddle iframes to serve as code examples. You can edit the iframe markup to control the order of the tabs, the height of the embed or even if the environment should be "light" or "dark".
@ByteAtATimeMar 31.2023 βΒ #Hi, I submitted this as a feedback but realized this might belong better here. I think we should be able to add replies directly to a bounty, not just answers. For example, clarification questions might belong to a direct reply.
@ByteAtATimeMar 31.2023 βΒ #It would also be nice to be able to reference an earlier comment and have it link to that comment, and also be able to @mention others.
