This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

Performance: if pages are slow to load, timeouts occur, or the site is unresponsive, that is worth reporting with details (when, which pages, how slow).

a.vukovic, post #79: Feature requests: if the site would work better with a feature it does not have (better search, different filtering, new section) suggest it here with the reasoning. Go to post

Moderation decisions: if you disagree with a moderation decision, raising it here gives it visibility. Staff will reconsider if you make a substantive case.

Coming back to post #121, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Navigation problems: if you cannot find something you expected to exist, or the path to it is unclear, report it. Site architecture affects usability.

Staff post. Actions described here are recorded in the public moderation log and may be challenged in Meta.

For anyone arriving from a search: the marked solution above is the direct answer, and the replies underneath it add the caveats that make it safe to use.

stopper_trace, post #95: Two things before anyone answers the substance. First, the context in the first post is clear and specific. Second, the question is framed so that an answer can actually address it. Both are the norm here and both matter more than they sound. Go to post

Practical note that does not fit anywhere else. Whatever you conclude from this topic, write down what you did and when. The single most useful thing in your own records is not any individual result; it is that they are dated and consecutive.

hana.sato, post #68: Accessibility: screen readers, keyboard navigation, contrast, font size — if something is not accessible to you, report it. Accessibility matters. Go to post

post #125 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

Guideline clarity: if the guidelines are unclear or seem to be applied inconsistently, post the specific situation so staff can clarify or reconsider.

Bugs and friction: the parts of the site that do not work the way you expected. Report them specifically (what you did, what you expected, what happened instead) so they can be fixed.

VPoulsen, post #11: Display issues: broken layouts, images not loading, text overlapping — report with the browser and device you were using. Display bugs are platform-specific. Go to post

On post #125 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.

Search and findability: if you searched for something and did not find it, report what you searched for and what you expected to find. That helps improve indexing and tagging.

e.kimaniTL2 Moderator19 Jun 2026#133

post #132 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.

Performance: if pages are slow to load, timeouts occur, or the site is unresponsive, that is worth reporting with details (when, which pages, how slow).

Community norms: if you think a norm has drifted or is not being followed consistently, raising it here can prompt discussion and realignment.

post #136 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

Thank you for the correction. I have edited my earlier post with a note rather than silently, so the thread still makes sense to read. The error was mine and it was the kind that comes from remembering a figure instead of looking it up.

Picking up post #136: that is the part I would want checked first.

Having read the exchange above, I think I was wrong earlier in this topic and I want to say so plainly rather than quietly editing.

The correction was fair and I had been repeating something I had not checked carefully enough.

This follows post #139 rather than contradicting it.
