It's probably just my Internet connection, but I often find when I'm composing a post that my window freezes for a few moments so that my post can autosave. Sometimes it happens often enough to be ...
You have a website or a blog where you want to advertise for your favorite Codidact community? Or you got permission to advertise on someone else's website? Great. Please spread the word and invite...
I'd like to see a history of comments posted (and for moderators, perhaps even including deleted comments) on a user's profile page. Use cases: Allow moderators to look over the totality of a use...
Issue: Consider the scenario where you post a new question, and five people all write comments or answers on it. Your inbox will then have five notifications in it, one for each new response. You c...
In my notifications inbox, notifications have time stamps to show when they've been created. Can time stamps also be included in the notifications pull down menu? This way, it's possible to see qui...
When adding a new comment, there is a helpful character count (x/500). If you exceed the count, it is clear that is why the comment can't be saved. When editing an existing comment, there is no ch...
I wrote a question on a site I hadn't been to before, and got an answer. I tried to upvote the answer, but was shown: I only have 1 rep (should start at 0, but that's another matter), so I can un...
I just noticed when posting a fourth writing challenge that the answer license there defaults to CC BY-SA 4.0. That's the site default license. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but the default ...
I tried to vote (up) for Travel Codidact Site my vote will not take. I randomly tried to vote on a couple other proposal and some would not take my vote either. I was able to vote up for (and lat...
Not sure if it's just me, but when I visit the main site it doesn't show any icon on the tab. It's not a serious issue, but I thought I'd bring it up. Update: Issue reappeared
Currently votes for blog posts are counted in total but there are no rows for this type in additional, expanded grid ("on Question", "on Answer") This may confuse new users since usually one exp...
When You have the keyboard shortcuts menu open while asking a question1, the "tag" bar is on top of it Since this is only a problem in this uncommon situation, it doesn't have to take priority ...
Sometimes, I forget to mention someone when I first make a comment, and I go and edit the mention in. However, I've been told that this doesn't actually send them a notification. Can we get it so t...
Currently, each category of a site has its own individual RSS feed. While it's useful, could we have an RSS feed for the entire site? (like how Subscriptions work, but as an RSS feed)
The question post "Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel" is closed as a duplicate of the later "Second Iteration of Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel" and has a n...
When making footnotes by using [^1], the preview1 shows the "1" with an extra set of brackets: Note: As you can tell, it doesn't actually make a difference in the real appearance, just in the p...
When editing my user profile, the preview is missing.
(Persistent irrelevant comment: I jumped down to the title field and entered that first and then went back up here to enter the actual question.) I tried to vote on an answer and nothing happened. ...
Okay this is a weird one. I just found this bug when asking this question. It turns out that if you try to open an ability page (e.g. https://meta.codidact.com/abilities/unrestricted) when you're ...
I want to propose a site for Hinduism here that will cover both Hinduism, the religion/theology itself and also secular studies on Hinduism (how the religion, its scriptures, different sects, langu...
There doesn't seem to be a sandbox to play with site such as formatting, deleting, etc. here or on other sites. Could such a sandbox be made to help people experiment?
Popup vs. Inline The box that pops up when starting a new Comment Thread is in the middle of the page and it is not movable. When writing a comment, unless it is very short, I often want to be...
I just noticed that any help center on any site has lots of duplicate links below "About Codidact" and "Legal". The same links are listed 2 times in a row. I get this on every single Codidact comm...
Still a high schooler, I like adding some style on my equations for answering math assignments and I've been using MathJax from Mathematics SE to grab symbols for the better of it. A certain case i...
We currently use Discord for community chat. Not everybody uses Discord and that's fine; nobody is required to be in chat. Someday we would like to remove our dependence on a third-party service,...
Is there a limit on the length of a post (either question, answer, article, etc) on Codidact sites? The current UI only shows this limit for comments, but not for posts - this is not a feature req...
I noticed that https://collab.codidact.org/ is serving an expired certificate; it has a validity not-after of Aug 9 2021 21:15 UTC. Even though it lists a bunch of other Codidact sites as Subject ...
On Stack Exchange, downvoting a question or answer —2 your reputation. What about here?
Comments can contain math code that is rendered by Mathjax, just as posts can. (On sites where Mathjax is enabled, such as Physics and Scientific Speculation.) However, if a comment is edited and ...
Somewhere Else has its fair share of favicons on sites. A default bubble with letters for sites without logos, or one with illustrations in it, and the site's logo. We could probably do something ...
This question claims that no one had edited that question. But, that question was edited three times. Why it is happening? Those edits are available in activity. Although, edited by ..... isn't sho...
I never thought of it. Recently, I was going to write a comment (Starting a new thread) with 14 characters. I didn't look at character lengths. After completing my comment I just pressed tab twice ...
When I was writing the post. My title was too short for post that. But, I was thinking why button is disabled. Since, I had worked on disabling button that's why I knew my post's title was too shor...
Was reading this Post and I certainly agree with the general differences like open source and non-profit that differentiate Codidact. But the Community vs Repo point leaves some questions. Sure eac...
We have a tool for doing bulk imports of questions (and answers) from SE. It has several limitations: Running it requires direct DB access. The resulting data is sometimes wrong in various ways -...
As part of our mission to be a place where communities are fully supported, one of our goals is to make sure our site is accessible for everyone. With that in mind... what can we do better, access...
Right now the sites are all hidden away down at the bottom of the site, and the questions are forced to be 50 per page. I would like a way to swap between sites I am logged in on more easily.
When users of a Codidact site come up with bugs or feature requests that are not specific to that site: Is it preferable that they post to their local Meta or to Meta.Codidact? Is one of these ...
Since a few days, my Firefox add-on Privacy Badger shows me a new tracker originating from analytics.codidact.org. I read the privacy policy and it states that there is analytics going on to improv...

This might sound silly, but ever since I wrote my first post here, I have noticed that the title comes after the body and I find it quite strange. Since I have some activity using Stack Exchange (b...
Whenever a post is edited, the question is automatically bumped to the top of the category post list. This is useful for major changes to posts because people can see that something has changed. H...
There should be the option to customise the heading in the community-promoted network posts as "Could you answer this question?" isn't always applicable. Example: The post in question is an imag...
I just tried to edit my question on Outdoors (https://outdoors.codidact.com/posts/279707), but the "Edit" button at the bottom of the post is missing. Here is a screen shot: Microsoft Edge W...
Please see point 5 below. Both Codidact and S.E. waste that white space. Why not put the posted date box "posted 3 months ago" in that white space?
Currently I still see comments that I deleted, under a post. But I don't need to.
I'm not referring to accepting just one answer like on Stack Exchange because your question can receive > 1 answer and each answer solves your question synergistically. No one answer solves your...
When I add a comment, the character count is displayed below the text box: However, when I edit it, there is no character count visible: It still seems to check for the character limit(500 ch...
I have published this post in Unix and Linux StackExchange. I want to post it here as well (in Software Development Codidact), because it didn't get answers on U&L SE. I cannot delete my post...
