I ran the search queries "anonymous", "register" and "unregistered" in the search box but didn't find a thread about why isn't anonymous/unregistered contribution allowed here. I recall one or two...
On most pages of Codidact there is a little drop down arrow at the very top right of the page, which usually displays a list of Codidact communities when clicked. However, when on the "Edit" tab of...
On the dashboard there are indicators for each Category of each community, that appear when there is new activity in that Category: Would it be helpful to also show the reputation for each com...
When viewing my own user profile (not anyone else's) there is a button below the profile content called "Mobile Sign In": This does the same as the Mobile Sign In button in the page header: I...
Would people find it useful to be able to revert an edit from the history? I imagine that reverting the most recent edit would be straightforward to implement, but that reverting an earlier edit w...
Should tag editing be separate from post editing? By that I mean having a specific workflow to modify the tags of a question, different from the workflow to edit the content. Intuitively, I believe...
When clicking on the thread title ("Welcome!" in this example) of a comment thread below a post: I see the following error in the Firefox developer window (click image for a larger version): ...
I believe that when the last comment in a comment thread is deleted, the thread is also automatically deleted. However, there are some threads that still exist despite having all their comments del...
The Your abilities page looks something like this (depending on your current abilities): To a moderator looking to grant or suspend abilities, there is a mod-only page called "Privileges", which...
If https://math.codidact.com/help/search does not explain this, please edit it to. To wit, I am pining to see merely search results from the Main. Here if you search on a main site, the search en...
We've had several bug reports here on Meta about server 500 errors, and we know that these can deter participation. That's bad at any time but especially when we are trying to grow. We want to do...
An ampersand shows as & instead of & in the following question content preview: I've also included an ampersand in the title of this question to test whether the title is also affect...
I've seen many times something like "This is just my personal opinion, not of the team" when administrators such as Monica Cellio respond to posts. In my opinion, this is because of a lack of a way...
The title pretty much sums it up. It looks to me as though deleted answers are visible to anyone who isn't logged in, but they aren't visible once you're logged in (at least as a user without the ...
I searched for free community software ("open source" what I mean is GPL or similar). I know Stack Overflow and would like to run the software on my own server just to have full control over the da...
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 ?
I tried to edit a post, but I received the following message saying it is over 30,000 characters. I double checked in a text editor that the number of characters is 27,835 (as shown in the Codidact...
In the list of posts, or at the bottom of a post, there is an indication of how long ago it was posted. In a desktop environment with a mouse, hovering over this duration gives an exact date and ti...

The html tag <tt> works correctly in the preview window that is shown while editing a post. Text enclosed in such tags is shown in mono-spaced font. However, the TT tag seems to be ignored ...
I am wondering if we can have a minimal data explorer for Codidact communities: mirror the publicly available tables/columns in a separate database (can be done once per day to minimize the impa...
Why are (outside of META where it makes some sense) Questions and answers called Posts? Is this because the coders are trying hard to show neutrality or are wanting to reuse some code snippet? As...

Should we exclude closed questions from the question list? Closed questions (and their answers) would still be linked on the owners' profiles, would be included in search results, and would produc...
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...
Thanks very much for the recent release of bug fixes and features. It's also highlighted another potential improvement: I notice that since the release the grey circles indicating that a Category ...
Accidentally clicking on the blue "bug" tag above the tags box in post edit mode adds the tag "bug" even if it is already present, resulting in it being present twice. Deleting it with the little...
A bit over a year ago, I proposed to add a “reactions” like feature on Codidact, which would allow marking answers as “accepted”, “outdated” or “dangerous”, providing more detailed feedback to user...
When viewing a user's Vote Summary, days that are not expanded give no indication of how many votes occurred each day: Would it be useful to have a plus and minus total in the date bar that stil...
Is there any way to adjust the Styling in user profiles. I struggle to see the hairline borders for edit entry areas before they are selected and also prefer to to have less vertical white space b...
In the votes summary page of my profile it says: A daily summary of votes you have received for your posts. This is an accurate description of my vote summary page. However, if I look at ...
I've recently come across a situation where I thought archiving the comment thread was appropriate: A user suggested an improvement in the thread, and that improvement was then implemented (by me)....
I suggest to add resizing option to the commenting box in the threaded comments section (at least on desktop display).
It feels like we celebrated Codidact’s first birthday only yesterday and that Codidact was founded just a few days ago, but here we are. Codidact is now officially two years old! [1] Two years ago...
I'm pining to answer my own question. But please see below. GitHub Issue
The title of a comment thread currently defaults to the start of the comment text. That has lead to a lot of partial-sentence comments visible below a post without comments expanded. Those look me...
Is there any Codidact network website in the horizon to accept this question? Perhaps with some edit or conceptual change the question would be a good fit for scientific speculation? Daily life...
I'm guessing the first "Tags" is a typo and should instead say "Posts" or perhaps the name of the specific post type?
If I jump to an answer directly from a notification, I get a box above the answer: You are accessing this answer with a direct link, so it's being shown above all other answers regardless of its...
I've noticed something when using MathJax while preparing/editing a post. Each time a change is made to the raw text, the preview rerenders accordingly. This is the behaviour I expect, which ensure...

I've stumbled upon links to Codidact questions on answers on SOME subreddits, but because Codidact is still little known and unsung, Redditors balk at clicking links to Codidact. OR other...
I am leaving CD by giving my last idea to it. Some user will downvote this question just to take revenge (I don't know who they are). But, I believe I got some hostility here. Last message to my h...
This looks similar to my previous bug report "Body is too short" error when posting middle-click-pasted answer with no changes, and I wouldn't be surprised if the fix is the same. When on the thre...

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?
