Forgive me, I’m not used to Discourse, I’m not sure what of this is configurable!

Adding alt text is not obvious - can this be improved at all?

Needing to hit the reply button can be counterintuitive - my eyes are looking for a textbox to type in! Is this configurable?

The popup to write a new post is odd.

The theme could use some a11y tweaking - hyperlinks are normally better with underlines, etc etc.

Character limits seem a little overzealous!

I can’t find much about that, but great feedback. I’m sure we can work with the Discourse team to get some more attention on that.

Probably: [Is there a way to automatically expand the reply composer box by default? - #5 by awesomerobot - Support - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-expand-the-reply-composer-box-by-default/313471/5)

How so? 😅 Same as the reply popup, right?

For sure! We have full control over CSS so no problem, I did note that it needs tweaking for branding already, but this is great feedback.

Haha just write a full sentence in your title already! 😝 but yes, that’s an easy tweak to do 👍

Update on this one, still not very obvious, but I noticed you can edit the alt in the markdown of the post as well:

Also interestingly, I have not enabled the AI plugin here yet, as I’m trying to be very careful to have a great use case first, but this does seem a pretty handy feature:

I’ve taken it down a little bit, but there’s also an entropy setting that goes with it and I didn’t want to lower it too much. In reality, we’d probably want to write a longer title anyway, since you’re trying to get people to open it! 😁
