As a companion to the "what's broken" question, what features should we add here?
As a start, it would be nice if there was some mechanism for auto-linking trac ticket numbers. Other auto-link ideas:
When the red envelope icon indicates I have new messages/comments, and I click on it (navigate to that page); if I then click on a message, the page it takes me to does not auto-scroll to where that new comment/update actually is. It would be awesome if you had html anchors that allowed you to auto-scroll (and permalink for that matter). Whether implemented in ECMAScript/Javascript or in the GET request (URL), hey whatever scrolls me there would rule.
it actually does autoscroll, but does not work yet when the answer or comment is not on the first page... I've noticed this issue too.
IMHO, when beginning any post, I think that complete escaping of the text you input should be enabled by default. I notice a lot of people posting don't notice their text being mangled. Example: Backtraces
I'm not sure there is an easy solution for that. Input is always in markdown format. Probably the best way to go is to have site moderators fix the formatting issues - just by editing the pages directly. Maybe William can assign moderator role to some people?
Thanks for the upvote. I don't know how to answer. I am very low on the totem pole, and they are very busy prof[essional]s. =)
Is it really so hard? It's just the complement problem. It might actually make it easier to delimit fields specially formatted in different ways....but I don't know the code as you do.
well, all people need to learn - is how to click the "format code button" - it looks like a few zeroes and ones bunched together. Looks like a better tooltip/help/initial orientation, etc. would be helpful.
I agree. Maybe it's dependent on user preference.

Auto-linking of links would be convenient. (That is, if I type "http://www.sagemath.org" then it should show up automatically as a link.) Also, is there a way of linking searches on this site to sage-support so results would show from both? That would reduce the number of duplicate questions.
