My patience is running thin with code formatting on Codidact. I've made this feature request before on Software Development only (here) but no reply. We currently have 5 communities which definite...
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 ...
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...
When looking at a pending edit on the suggested edits page, only the markdown shows. There is no preview of how this will be rendered. This presents two problems: Any subtle error introduced by...
On all sites on the user abilities page for editing tag info, it says you need x% of accepted edits and y number of edits on tag wikis and tag usage guidance even though you currently can't suggest...
Here you can share user scripts for Codidact! Please use the following format to share. ### Name of the US Small Description Anything else (optional) Supported on: (U.S. manager) U...
When I send a message to someone @codidact.com, I get back undelivered mail returned to sender, which says <support@codidact.org>: host codidact-org.relay1g.spamh.com[63.71.12.97] said: 554...
Standard markdown does not include spoiler sections (hidden until clicked on). Personally, on those rare occasions when I find need to temporarily hide something, I'm happy using <details> HT...
The character limit for a comment is 1000, but the text area in which it is typed or edited is much smaller than this. Most comments are short, but some comments can have reason to be longer, and ...
I noticed that there isn't a way to close Article type posts. While some of the close reasons might not be very applicable to Articles, I think that at least the off-topic, outdated, and duplicate...
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...
When editing a post, headings with a single hash # show as significantly bigger than headings with a double hash ##. However, after saving, these two headings are much closer in size (to the point ...
When using a <details> tag to add an expandable section to a post, markdown will mostly still work inside the expandable section, but some of it will not work on the first line. Markdown trea...
I like the "Random from Category" and "Specific post" ad templates. I've recently been a "selfish sharer" and used the "Specific post" template to share one of my own questions. This made me wonde...
I recently changed my username on a site where I used to post coding challenges years ago, to make it clearer that I no longer post there (as I still occasionally receive comments that I may not se...
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...
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...
When searching using the "post_type" filter, a list of available post types automatically appears. If the user has previously entered search terms that overlap with what has been typed so far, thes...
I suggested some changes to the vote counts on the front page here, and was invited to post them on general meta. Basically, I think the red/green meter is a great indicator for question quality, ...
At the top of the answers section of a question there are buttons to sort by "Score" or "Active": Clicking on one of these sorts the answers by that criterion, but also moves the view back to th...
I'm curious about the list of "Hot Posts" shown in the right hand panel of Codidact pages. So here are some completely unimportant questions that I'm intrigued to know more about: How is the lis...
When adding a tag to a post, beginning to type leads to all matching tags being displayed, avoiding the need to type out tag names by hand. Would it be useful to include this feature in the Pref...
Hello, I'm new to Codidact and would love to translate QPixel (and the project's homepage as well) to my native language, as I've been doing on other open-source projects :) I looked around and c...
I have just observed a bug, and I'm not sure what the protocol is. Is bug reporting and tracking done on codidact.org, meta.codidact.com, or both? If both, and I can't find the bug mentioned on eit...
Opening a new response (new answer) from the Notifications panel opens it in a special view where that answer is shown at the top of the answer list. This makes it very clear which answer was bei...
The search only appears to look in the body of a post, not in its title. For example, searching Codidact Meta for "determine" finds posts that have "determine" in the body, but does not include th...
(This is not just an issue on the specific site mentioned - it seems to affect any Codidact site.) If I search Code Golf Codidact for "finalized" there are results, showing that the word "finali...
Is there a preferred process for making minor fixes such as typos on codidact.org? I've made a commit to a fork but I didn't want to raise a GitHub issue and make a pull request without checking t...
Currently, search results can be sorted by posted date (shown as "Age" in the sorting buttons) but not by edited date / most recent activity: Would you find it useful to have this sorting option...
I tried to add a tag to an existing post by editing it and it failed because there was no actual post edit: After further tests, I realized that this happens only if the added tag(s) do not alre...
It is good if users are engaged, but a single engaged user can take over whole communities with their posts. To get a better mix, I propose a rate limit which prevents users with mostly negativl...
Not sure if this is an oversight or a bug, but suspending a privilege doesn't add a log to the "warnings and suspensions sent to user" moderator tool.
In the past and more recently, there's been an issue of many negatively received posts being posted, leading to the front page being primarily negative. This is, of course, rather bad for image. C...
Basically the title. There's no edit button for annotations in the mod-tools, so if I make a mistake, there's no way to fix it. (I hit the enter key thinking it would insert a newline, but apparent...
Another self-explanatory feature-request. Currently user-annotations are one-line and plain-text only, which is a little restrictive. I wanted to add a link to the comment that had prompted the not...
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...
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)....
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...
The page describing the Vote on Holds ability, under "What does this ability allow me to do?", has what appears to be unrendered Markdown: The reasons for placing a post on hold vary from site t...
Currently in order to check for new posts on the sites I am interested in, I have to visit the sites individually. Since the posts are stored in one DB would it be possible to get a page here that...
Would it be possible to change the search so that you don't end up on a separate page? It feels a bit clunky to not be able to search directly. Replace the search button with a text box for the que...
Why are comments deprecated to the point that none are visible without having to move away from the page? With page loads and mouse clicks, less is MORE.
Currently the moderator icon is not consistent across views. See for example this post by Jirka Hanika, a moderator in Linguistics: And then see who it looks in his/her profile page: ...
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...
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...
Add button to select Meta post destination to site META or Global META at the time of posting. More than one of my posts are probably Global META suggestions but have ended up in Site META because...
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...
I asked a question to the Software Development Codidact site here. I monitored it closely for several hours in case there was a quick response. A day later I found a couple comments waiting for me ...
I received a notification for a comment that includes an @-mention of myself, but instead of rendering my username, it looks like this: Clearly a username would be better than an ID here, right?
