I made an edit to a post on Software.codidact, and because I don’t have the Ability to edit, it says it’s pending a review. However, I was a bit surprised to see that it was still pending after mor...
I don't know if this is status-bydesign, but this looks like a bug to me: Is this intended behavior? Seems a bit weird to me if it is.
I am trying to fix my Fairphone 3, and have run into a problem. I'd like to ask on CoDidact, but I don't know which community is appropriate. Electrical Engineering would seem the logical place, h...
To my pleasant surprise, I saw an ad for Codidact on English S.E.! Why don't we post similar ads on S.E.? !
I cannot paste some HTML-CSS-PHP code which I have tried and would like to ask a question about in CoDidact Software Development. When I publish my question I just get redirected, time and again t...
One just signed up (in Languages & Linguistics) and received a notification to take an initial "tour to find out how this site works". A friendly Codidactyl invites one to create a question but...
When the ad on the sidebar that says "could you answer this question?" is clicked on, it takes you to the question, but the ad for that question can still be there. The ad for the question being...
In some posts staffs said that they are very little community. Does it mean they need more developers? If they don't need than this question is useless. If they need than can we willingly give any ...
As you can see I joined 4 hours ago. But, I recently get some notification where I am getting that it sent 10 hours ago. This is obviously a bug. I think something wrong is happening with timing....
I have seen above picture in my profile. What does the flag represent? Does it represent for those which I flagged earlier? Or, I have got 4 flags in my post? Or, It is addition of both of them.
This post had been edited by @Lundin. But, there's no visible changes in that post. I don't know what Lundin did to that post. I think Lundin had proposed changes but, author/moderator declined (...
Not sure exactly when but for some time I don't see r in a user's card. From what I can tell it happens only on Meta and, for example, on SD it is still visible. An additional context: Heads up: s...
I accidentally posted my neighbor's answer to my same question twice. Obviously, it's irksome and wasteful to see the two duplicated answers! How can such duplications be lastingly forever removed?
Does the community have any mechanism to tackle serial (emotional) downvoting?
In the community preferences you can set a list of favourite tags, and questions that are tagged with one of them will be highlighted. Is there also a way to hide / ignore tags? Questions with a h...
Is there a standard or acceptable way to include, link or re-post answers from external sources, such as stack exchange networks, quora or others ?
Is there a way to filter questions of a community that has no answer and/or no accepted answer ? Edit (clarification): by "accepted answer" I mean answer marked with the green "Works for me" tag...
What web development tools were used to build this site? What tools are used to manage it?
When an HTML tag is used in a post but is not supported by Codidact, a warning message is displayed listing the unsupported tags. However, syntax highlighting hints in the form of HTML comments suc...
When looking at the Abilities dashboard of another user and clicking on any ability, for example the curate ability page of a mod looks like (I replaced the actual mod name with (ModName) for sake ...
This is an example of a comment thread featuring a user mention. When the comment is edited, the user mention element incorrectly turns red. A reload fixes this. Hovering on it shows which...
Codidact uses the open source Qpixel, which is also maintained by CD admins. Sometimes it is mentioned in passing that the devs are open to and interested in help with developing this codebase. I'...
On the Help Center page "How to ask a great question" (This link points to the Codidact Meta version, but this question talks about all the versions of this page in all other communities, too) Und...
How granular can data-import be for QPixel (I realize the answer might be different later for Codidact), and can it be done more than once? We know it's possible to import "everything", but which ...
I got an error while subscribing to a category and clicked on the "report on meta" link in the message. The link produced another error: The link in the first error message points to https://wr...
I a recent post https://outdoors.codidact.com/questions/74859#answer-74867 I wanted to include a photo from Wikipedia. I would like an option to load images from the a weblink, preferably that incl...
The button layout on mobile browser is ... unusual. Is this by design?
There are a couple of things that I think would be nice to improve contests, Hide the score while the contest is ongoing, that way it doesn't influence other people's votes. Sort answers in two w...
Currently https://outdoors.codidact.com/categories/19 lists one question, 2020 - May - Birds, with 12 answers. But if you go into the question, it only lists 11 answers. I'm pretty sure that the di...
The Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Code of Conduct links on meta, outdoors and photo are all pointing to the pages on writing.codidact.com. They should always point to "self".
This is a bit weird. I spotted a typo in an answer of mine, and figured I'd fix it. I was able to edit the answer, but when I tried to save the edit, I got a page telling me there had been an int...
TLDR at the end. One thing I never was quite content with on SE was that if you view a question that by default either the most upvoted or accepted answer is the first one you see. This mechanism a...
While one can specify a license when making a question, when writing an answer there doesn't seem to be any place to specify and it just ends up saying "CC BY-SA 4.0" once posted. While asking a go...
With the new layout of comments, the drop down list overextends the site, extending the site until all available comments have been displayed.
Yesterday I proposed that the required tags beneath questions asked on meta should be clickable so that the tags are prefilled into the tag form. I tried it out now that's it implemented and while ...
I wrote a question which I tagged, only to see a few seconds later that I accidentally tagged the question with the wrong tag. So I revised it. This how the history of my question looks: As you ca...
I'm assuming that self-answered Q&A is fine and on-topic in most communities - if not, open for discussion below. "That other site" got a little check box which you can use upon posting a quest...
If I navigate to my list of question subscriptions, all I see is my subscriptions for the current community. The user profile syncs across all sites; is there a way to combine all of the question s...
I noticed that I have been getting pinged for comments and answers to my questions only, but I'm not getting pinged if someone does "@Dani" on a different users' question/answer, for example here. ...
When clicking the link feature while posting, would it be possible to make the cursor automatically focus in the empty textbox for link URL? Unlike on other sites like Gmail, if I select text to li...
Currently, the pending flags don't show in the header in the mobile view. Even if moderation from a smartphone isn't ideal, there are going to be times when I will be away from my computer for an e...
Currently, when viewing a post, Codidact will show you the raw votes on a post, with the breakdown into upvotes and downvotes: There's been some feedback that this is a bit too much to show, espec...
There currently seems to be no concept of "queues" for questions or answers. I also looked at the old discourse forum, and it seems like different kinds of queues are causally mentioned, for differ...
When going to my user profile, I see 5 possible tabs: 'Profile', 'Activity', 'Account', 'Edit' and 'Subscriptions' However, when I go to the 'Account', 'Edit' or 'Subscription' tabs, the visible t...
Inspired from this post asking what steps there are between proposal and launching a community, I would like to know what steps there are between an idea and a proposal. Right now, we have at least...
Initially I thought that "Trust levels" feature is independent for each CoDidact community. But it seems that I was wrong: When I joined to Languages and Linguistics I was able to give an upvote fo...
It's not really an issue, but I'm curious why Codidact chose to use a monospace font for editing/posting while published posts use a normal font.
I've been looking around Codidact sites, wiki, repos and mission, to be able to determine if this is even a discussable or interesting topic at all. I was about to drop any ideas to ask this questi...
This question was accidentally posted in meta instead of language, and ended up being closed. Does the ability to move questions between sites currently exist, or is closing the only way to deal wi...
ArtOfCode's user profile on the Languages & Linguistics site reads, in part: What does the "☗" symbolize?
