Comment Post #284872 Yes, good idea. I have already edited the "How to ask a great question" section. I guess that if we want to change this section in a consistent way across the whole network, I guess that this can be announced in the moderator-lounge so that moderators apply the change to their community page.

added paragraph about avoiding images of code
over 3 years ago
Comment Post #284904 That's an interesting idea. I would call them "properties" instead (this might be better for devs, but worse for the general population though). For each post type, we could define (only moderators and staff) what properties are allowed for its answers. Example: Software general posts can have a prop...

Shortly put, the question should be written in a form that helps both the fellow community members to answer it (e.g. easy to copy-pas...

Question Why using images for code, errors, logs or similar should be avoided?
I have noticed that virtually any question containing an image of some code or error got a comment asking to replace it with the actual code, error text. Why is it so bad to include an image instead of the actual text?

Comment Post #284806 Can you provide the actual waiting time for running your code? Example: run your code for 10K times and tell us how much it took to end.

Comment Post #284778 Hey, Fyoni‭! Welcome to Software Codidact. I am not sure if I understand correctly. Do you want to display the cart items grouped by store, in a two-level tree (view)?

Answer A: What solutions available for a CMS-agnostic contact form?
Besides the aforementioned solutions, Web components might be useful (can be reused in multiple contexts). Examples: - in Drupal - in ButterCMS - in Backdrop CMS - in WordPress However, if your form is not convoluted, I would also consider using the default form module provided by your CMS,...

Question Specify framework / library version in the answer
As Stack Exchange (Stack Overflow mostly) is struggling to deal with outdated answers, they came with a proposal that we can learn from: Version labels for answers As already most of the feedback indicates, the proposed solution seems convoluted and thus hard to implement. Software Codidact...

Question Is there any justification for having a single tempdb database to be used by all databases on a SQL Server intstances?
Despite the fact that I have programmed against SQL Server for quite a while I did not pay much attention to the `tempdb` database. This is especially true if application logic is mostly written using the ORM instead of stored procedure. However, I have just realized that the SQL Server architectu...

Answer A: Why did my question get a downvote?
For me the following reasons might lead to downvoting: - Posts that are not related to a specific programming issue, but are rather meant to start a discussion. Example - Asking for software products differences, unless it is directly connected to software development and asks about one or very...

Currently, there is no consensus about whether to provide tooltips for the voting buttons (especially the downvote one). However, the community now includes quite a lot of questions that attracted downvotes and sometimes this created long debates in comments and flagging. I would like for us to de...
