This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1 · go to the accepted answer.
Narrowing post #58, because the general version has more than one answer.
Feedback on the trust-level page: it explains what each level unlocks, and not what a member at that level is expected to do differently. The second is what people actually want to know.
Reading it again, the caveat matters more than the finding.
The strongest argument against my own position on timeline, stated as well as I can state it, since nobody else has yet.
What I would tell a new member reading about timeline for the first time: the confident posts are not the reliable ones, and the reliable ones are longer.
Seconding that. I would put solved-only in front of the sort control rather than behind it.
Adding a null result on timeline. I looked, carefully, and found nothing, and null results deserve posting precisely because they never are.
Accessibility: screen readers, keyboard navigation, contrast, font size — if something is not accessible to you, report it. Accessibility matters.
I think the timeline question is answerable and has not been answered, which is a more optimistic position than most of this thread.
Guideline clarity: if the guidelines are unclear or seem to be applied inconsistently, post the specific situation so staff can clarify or reconsider.
The step people skip is the one I have spelled out.
That is a fair summary of where the discussion has got to.
Where I part company with post #71, and it is a narrow parting.
Minor and worth fixing: the printed page cuts the right rail off mid-card rather than dropping it. Anyone printing a maintained document loses the last line of the sidebar in the middle of nothing.
I would rather say I do not know than round it up to an answer.
