@FaheemMitha The problem is the 'big picture' three column stuff: I think @DavidCarlisle and a lot of the rest of us would grumble but accept the rest of the changes (I do follow the logic there), certainly once the initial complete mess-ups are fixed
@DavidCarlisle Never mind. I had our SysAdmin make an update of my work computer (opensuse) shortly after TeXLive 2018 went online. I have array [2018/04/07 v2.4g] and colortbl [2012/02/13 v1.0a], and vertical spaces in tables with \\[lenght] don't work any more. On my laptop everything is up-to-date and everything works.
We've been doing quite a bit of research into ways that we could help new users have better experiences that ultimately lead them to becoming increasingly valuable, long-term contributors to our sites. While this is still ongoing, it's starting to blossom in the form of small but hopefully very e...
@JosephWright how about "don't present the new user's post in a ridiculously squashed text column, overshadowed by two massive sidebars with useless information"
@Shog9 actually the only thing that is completely broken is the three column layout, people may moan a bit about the top and bottom or the loss of customised vote buttons etc, but they don't stop the site being used, but the sidebars being wider than the main text makes the site unusable without using user CSS to restyle it.
@DavidCarlisle Totally agree: in the end, the change of 'minor' style things is something the 'regulars' get used to, and the passing user never picks up on
@JosephWright the right bar should have been dropped before the main text got that narrow ^^^ and anyway the vast majority of users are going to have the left sidebar and the text even narrower
@MarcelKrüger No, github as usual or as @JosephWright and I are both here you could mention it here (but github is better for logging issues if they can't be fixed straight away)
@MarcelKrüger but now you need to tell, what's wrong:-)
@DavidCarlisle It should be possible to fix streight away: The append_to_vlist_filter callback is classified as a list callback, but it probably should be a exclusive callback.
@DavidCarlisle Right now the second return value is dropped because of this, so the callback gets almost useless
@Skillmon A statistic showing the average number of votes per answer depending on the tags would really be interesting. My guess would be that for bibtex questions it would be especially low.
@Skillmon I may add some "don't do this" wording to the whole answer. But there is no point to adding the test to an inline $$ use as you always know whether than case is in vmode, and I'm not going to suggest defining a new enviornment:-)
@UlrikeFischer There is no search button, so finding stuff is hard. You can download the CSV and view it in an editor of your choice instead: Line 711: "chess", score 4.33, 100 answers.
