I am wondering about the number of votes required to perform the following actions: close reopen delete restore I have found this forum thread, but it is unclear what are the current values.
Posting new comment is by selecting the function, writing the comment, hitting 'Post'. Editing existing comment is by selecting the function, making the amends, then hitting 'Post'. Having the sa...
In the post history, the "by..." and edit reason are misaligned from the "Post edited" (more obvious when there is an edit reason) E.g. https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278406/history
The banner at the top of a question when the question is closed as a duplicate says in part "This question has been answered before" (example). That really should say "This question has been asked...
Being able to see a list of users and how many times they have votes was useful on the old sites to see which users were engaged in the voting. What I would propose is that on the /users page that...
In the Help center article Answer scoring and ordering there is an image with a broken URL, so it does not render: As you see, the image linked with https://meta.codidact.com/assets/scoring_...
On the abilities page, I noticed that there is one broken link that leads to a 404 error. It's the edit tags ability. Here is the link markdown: https://meta.codidact.com/abilities/edit_tagd. I t...
This is possibly a more extreme case of a bug reported by fedorqui: a Software Development question on regexes shows as having been edited, but its history contains neither the edit nor the origina...
So, I featured a link on Languages & Linguistics. However, I made it appear globally by accident (I expected it to be local, and it didn't prompt me whether I wanted it to be local or not so I ...
I was just looking at one answer of mine, and I noticed a "tools" button with a spanner next to it. When I tried clicking it, however, nothing seems to happen. I've looked through the abilities pag...
When a post has more than five comments, the comments past the fifth are hidden until you click 'Show more comments'. However, when if you don't click on it and you add a comment, it will display...
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...
When I open the notifications menu, I get the following: I think it would be good for UX if the "mark all as read" button was not obscured partially.
I suggested an edit to a post a while ago. The link to the suggestion can be found browsing through the activity in my user page. However, it does not show in the post history, where you can see: ...
Now that Codidact has some experience to look back on, we can see the same thing happening here as in other on-line places and in real life. We are all here for our own personal selfish reasons. ...
Currently, we can search for posts by a particular user by including user:unique_user_number, where the unique user number can be found from the user's profile URL. Would you find it useful to be ...
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 ...
For a long time I had no content in my user profile, then today I added something to see how it would look. I then changed my mind and decided to go back to having nothing. However, there is a mini...
I have a few suggestions of how the pane on the right hand side of the user Profile page might be improved. I'd like your thoughts on which changes would be useful. Wording changes The 2 images b...
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...
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...
Should I ask questions about the Codidact Collab site here on Codidact Meta, or over on the Collab site itself? I notice that Collab doesn't have its own Meta section, unlike most Codidact communit...
The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list include "Activity", "Age", and "Score", which are all orders into which to sort the posts. However, for sites with imported content they als...
Seeing the option to list a Twitter profile on one's profile leaves a bad taste in my mouth given recent developments on that site. I don't think it deserves to be promoted above other social medi...
If a code block contains a line too long to fit in the available horizontal space, the excess to the right is hidden, with a scroll bar to allow seeing the rest (this is a good thing): Raw text: ...
MRE: <details> <summary>Outer</summary> Outer text <details> <summary>Inner</summary> Inner text </details> </details> Which produces: ...
If 2 or more posts on a page contain footnotes with the same number, they all link to the footnote that appears earliest on the page. For example, the question How should a Codidact public API wor...
It appears that Codidact has notification streams for new questions and interesting questions, but currently these are over email. Can you add a search filter, global page, RSS feed or some other ...
When I edit tags on EE.Codidact I've noticed that the character limit counter for the usage guidance remains at zero. Is it a known issue? Unless there is something wrong with my browser (Firefox)...
Meta has vote x 4 and voting x 11. None of them have tag usage guidance. I'm not familiar yet with how tag naming is handled here but it looks clear to me that both tags are too similar and only o...
In my effort of giving structure to EE.CD tags pages, I find myself in the need of asking the community for consensus about some debatable choices. Of course the place for this is EE Meta, but I'd...
The "Works for me" reaction can be added to any answer, even if the reacting user is the author of the answer. For example, here is what an answer looks like if I post the answer and react to it m...
Apparently, two dollar signs in a paragraph cause the text between them to be interpreted as mathjax. How can this be avoided so that dollar signs can be written literally? I tried escaping the d...
I tried to post an answer with a bulleted list, but it renders without bullets. I can't repro here, but I have submitted multiple edits to the answer above, and none of them allow me to get the po...
During my effort at building structure and content in the EE.CD tags pages, I found myself often wanting a way to list all the tags in alphabetic order, regardless of their status or their place in...
In the Descriptions category of the Codidact Proposals community, anyone can edit any proposal description. This is in contrast to other categories where suggested edits require approval before bei...
In a comment thread, I can notify someone by including "@username". I also get notified of replies, even if they do not include my username in this way. What determines who is notified of a comment...
Motivation On Stack Exchange (SE) I could have a really hard time following a discussion in comments between multiple users if one of the users deleted their account or changed their username. He...
I noticed informally when exploring the site that many tags appear to exist in both singular and plural forms. For example, here on Meta, there is both comment and comments as well as notification ...
While this question is of particular interest to the technical sites, and especially to Software, it concerns core site functionality. I figured it would be more polite to ask than to make a "sandb...
Is there a way to convert an answer to a comment and include the existing comments under the answer into the new comment thread? There’s no option for it in the convert-to-comment dialog. Is there ...
I just managed to flag the same post for spam twice. I flagged it, then commented on it, then flagged it again. There are now two separate spam flags on it in my flag history. This is potentiall...
It's basically this post, but for the indicator discs on the Dashboard. I click on an "updated" community of interest, but most recent post showing updates was changed months ago. I can't tell if ...
I find the search function slightly too hard to find. I mean, it’s just in the menu, but intuitively, I feel like it should be a little more accessible, immediately visible. Also, we would benefit...
Currently, when pasting a link to somewhere on Codidact, into posts or comments, the link is rendered in the output the same way it's written in the post source; that is, the URL. The parser should...
Context The footer of all pages on the Codidact network looks something like this: Pros Looks neat Cons As more and more communities emerge and the network grows, this list of "Other C...
