It seems that there is no longer a button to suggest edits on article-type posts (e.g. posts in Resources of Languages & Linguistics, or Sandbox of Code Golf.) For example, this post is missin...
I recently had one of my suggested edits approved. However, the edit comment doesn't appear on the post history for that post. Other examples of the bug are this suggestion and this suggestion; nei...
On mobile (haven't tested on PC yet but did test on desktop mode), the community ad is unclickable; I expected it to link me to the promoted post.
Sometimes my posts get a suggested edit that is submitted. I try my hardest to discern what change they made, but the current user interface doesn't show any changes. Is there a way to show some so...

Here is what one of the closed questions looks like, and as you can see one would have to scroll all the way down to find the link to the dupe target. I think it would be much better if the close ...
I just noticed that the account I created for the subdomain forum.codidact.com doesn't work for the rest of the community websites. Given that, I had to create a new account. Is this supposed to ...
There is one deleted answer here and given that is has been deleted, I shouldn't be able to either upvote or downvote it, but I can. It looks like up and downvotes on the deleted answer are also ...

We need to figure out tags in the "Site Proposals" category. I noticed that some proposals were tagged "suggestion" and some "new-communities" and started to replace the former with the latter, an...
I've successfully signed up for Codidact with a mail address. However, the mail address I used didn't receive a confirmation mail so Codidact can't know if the person operating this account and th...

In the last day or so, the preview when writing a post keeps jumping up and down. Even just typing a few characters causes this over the next few seconds. I think I see what's going on. Whenever...
I just edited a post of mine. When I was done, the page refreshed, but the window was positioned at the very top of the page, rather than at the top of the item I had just edited. I had to manually...

I see there is a number next to each users' name, which in some places is even called "rep". That makes sense. What is mysterious is how it's calculated. My rep makes no sense. I started out wr...

When a new post appears in the category, it has both "posted ..." and "last activity ..." on it. It's a minor annoyance, but I feel like there shouldn't be a duplicate notice.
Some background: A discussion about deleting/preserving comments and giving user feedback popped up on Software Development meta here: How are we supposed to give feedback for poor questions if su...
