Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

Comment Post #288866 My guess is that "surface raceway" would be a better search term than "conduit" in this case. That being said, I haven't had any luck pulling up anything similar to this. Is there anything written anywhere on it that would help the search? Have you removed the outlet screws to look on the back? E...

Question In AWS, do you need to use IPv6 on EC2 to enable IPv6 with an ELB?
I have a website hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS) that uses Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances behind an Elastic Load Balancer (ELB). The load balancer is the newer "application" type. I've tried unsuccessfully to make the site available over IPv6 in addition to IPv4. I have: - Enabled ...

Answer A: Are blue eggs special in Wingspan?
The blue eggs are packaged separately to prevent the blue paint from marking up the other eggs. The blue paint is the most likely color to transfer to the other eggs.[]() There is no game play difference with blue eggs. When you play, you should mix the blue eggs together with all the others. I...

Comment Post #288866 There may be nothing wrong with the ethernet ports in that conduit. The problem with the ethernet may be on the other end of the wire. I would expect each of the ethernet jacks to have its own cat5 wire. All those cat5 wires probably go to the same location in the basement or a closet. Getting th...

Answer A: House-level battery backup now, solar panels later -- what do I need to know?
You should consider a whole house standby generator rather than whole house batteries. From a cost perspective you can get a 20KW generator installed for around $10,000 (USD). A 20KW battery and inverters are likely to cost three to four times as much. Lifespan for a generator is also much be...

Answer A: How should canonical URLs be used with comments?
A canonical URL should be the primary URL to represent ALL the content on the page. The URL that highlights a particular comment creates a variation of that page. The comment URL should never be the canonical URL, rather it should refer to the main URL for the page as the canonical URL. For examp...

Comment Post #288741 Your proposed subdomain seems especially long to me. I never want to have to type that. "Website Management" is also a bit longer than I would like, but manageable. I'd like this proposal a lot more with a shorter subdomain.

Comment Post #288741 I'm not sure the blurb and description should be part of the answers here. They don't seem like they are needed to help me decide on a name. A poor blurb and description might even detract from a good name.

Answer A: Should the game name be included in the title?
The name of the game should go in every question title. The tag isn't always shown with the question, so it isn't enough context. When I look at the video-games tag I see the following where the tag with the game name isn't shown: Screenshot of question that is tagged but tag doesn't show up. ...

Comment Post #288625 I see when you started asking questions, the name of the game isn't in the title, only in the tags. That seems very confusing to me. Is there a good reason for that?

Question Is it possible to set up a website that will last for 100 years, paid in advance?
I've seen a lot of domain names expire or hosting go dark when a website owner stops maintaining the site. Is there a way to prevent that for my own site? I'd like it to remain up, well after I'm gone. Is there a way to set up prepaid long-term domain registration and hosting? I'm thinking for 1...

Answer A: In which order should the brand name and article title appear in the page <title>?
For both SEO and usability, the brand name should go at the end of the title. SEO Search engines put more weight on the words at the beginning of the title. You might think that means your very important brand should come first, but your brand name is very important for SEO only on the your...

Question Which search engines crawl, render, and index content from single page applications that rely on client side JavaScript rendering?
It would be much easier if our website could use a single page application (SPA) framework such as React or Angular without relying on server side rendering (SSR). I've heard that some search engines are good at supporting client side rendered SPAs now. Which search engines now do a good job rend...

Question Should I truncate my long page titles with ellipsis for SEO?
I've seen SEO advice that the ideal length for a page title is 50 to 60 characters and that the maximum length is 80 characters. Our site relies on user generated titles for our content and our users often write titles that are significantly longer than this (up to 200 characters.) The full user ...
