No posting guide

Open gksmyth opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Biostars seems no longer to have a posting guide.

Clicking on "New post" then on "Posting guide" leads to the error message "Post does not exist".

There is no mention of a posting guide on Biostar's "About" page, instead just a sentence of advice is given, so perhaps Biostars has abandoned the idea of a posting guide as a separate page? I had wanted to link to the guidelines in order to explain to a poster than they should include the relevant code in their question, not just the output.

I just closed a duplicate I made of this issue.

Any progress in the past 18 months?

to be honest, I had completely forgotten about this issue, sorry about that

Alas, we don't have a developer working on the main codebase at this time, so there is no one we could assign quality-of-life issues

will only be fixed when a new major release is made - which might happen by the end of this year

The link has been fixed. Better late than never.

Thanks, I think it's a valuable link to revive.
