By some odd mistake I wrote only about half a title to a post in Scientific Speculation yesterday: Post itself: https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/posts/283763 Post history: https://sc...
It looks like the reputation counts on, at least, Code Golf were rolled back overnight. I logged off yesterday with 1011 rep but that's down to 501 this morning. Looking at the user list it looks t...
When linking directly to an answer, that answer is shown at the top of the answers section and just now, a notice was added to inform the user of this. The phrasing of that notice, however, seems ...
When user selects a nickname from the drop-down list with suggestions only first three symbols are replaced:
Not sure if this is a bug, or status-by-design (for now, tagged as bug just in case) When accessing an answer by its direct link, its order (relative to all other answers) is changed. Example: ...
I added a comment just now to an existing thread to a question on Power Users. Clicking "Add reply", the response was a "500 Server Error" page with the page title "Power Users - Internal Server E...
When clicking "edit" for a comment, the character count is initially shown as "0 / 255", with apparent disregard for the length of the comment. Making a change, the actual character count is updat...
We have added a summary of votes received (i.e. votes on own posts) to user profiles. You can access it by going to the Vote Summary tab. The summary is available publicly: The votes are aggrega...
When you see any closed post: Any closed post will show the reason of closure. But when you open post History page. It doesn't show anything about the reason of closure. It just says the post...
In the reference, Monica had said If you suspect voting fraud, please flag or use the "contact us" link. Moderators can't see who voted on what (even I can't), but there are people on the team w...
What's the limit of flag comment? I was testing by flagging in Dev server. I had flagged a comment using more than 30000 characters. I think it should be limited (maybe, 500 characters)
I can flag a post as duplicate while it is already has been closed as duplicate. For example, go to this question, this question has been already closed as duplicate by a moderator but I can still...
If you try to edit an comment and submit it with more than 500 characters, the site rejects your edit (500 error) but there is no visible explanation.
Has anyone seen my unicorn "Fluffy"? It has green fur and loves apples. It was last seen-... Since a few days back, the user avatar is missing on my profile: And I've seen the same on other u...
Is there a way to see the actual date and time in most significant first ordered form YYYY.MM.DD HH:MM:SS for questions, answers and comments. This was beaten to death at SE and the consensus was ...
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...
Currently, we pass an ID in urls for the category and tag routes. For instance, the Q&A category on this meta site has an ID of 3. In the long term, this makes it harder for people to access c...
I realize that some usernames are very difficult to mention due to the way that the current system works. Currently, you have to type in at least three characters after the @ before the list of men...
This post asks to disallow usernames with only periods and spaces. I would like to propose disallowing any឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵឵...
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 ...
When I try to go to https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/, I get a certificate warning. Looking at the certificate details, it turns out that the server is actually providing a certificate ...
Is it possible to reorganize the Help Center? I recognize that this might be very low on the priority list, but my first experience with it was less efficient than I'd hoped. What I'd propose is th...
I've had a couple of 500 Internal Server Errors now when posting comments on the maths site. The most recent one has error ID e0788383-0163-4b45-8b4f-85ff84c2751a . This has only happened since I b...
When we see someone comments we just ignore if someone wrote a helpful answer (If we don't have anything to say without beautiful comment or something else). SO has upvote system for comments. Inst...
In notification, click on mark as unread. Then, mark all as read. Then, click on that notification. Until you move to that page your notification popup icon(inbox-count) will show 0. When you visit...
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 added some comments to a post, and the number of current comments wasn't updated until I refreshed the page.
Basically the title. In category feeds containing Articles (e.g. Meta Blog or the Code Golf Sandbox), Articles don't have the "posted <time> ago by <user>" as with Q&A posts.
When a new post appears in the category, it has both "posted ..." and "last activity ..." on it. It's a minor annoyance, but I feel like there shouldn't be a duplicate notice.
When sorting posts by tag, the tag usage part pops up as expected, but also the whole tag wiki. So when you actually start writing a proper tag wiki for a tag, anyone who wants to see posts under t...
I tried creating new comment threads here and here, but I was met by this message: Now, I can totally understand that everyone feels down from time to time, but I would like to know why the serv...
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 ...
On Stack Exchange, downvoting a question or answer —2 your reputation. What about here?
I wrote a comment and forgot to give it a title (It doesn't help that the title is entered below the comment, but that's another issue). The title shown is then just the start of the comment, whic...
This is not a codidact issue per se, but it affects the avatar functionality: https://unicornify.pictures/avatar/{id}?s=16 fails because unicornify.pictures has an outdated Go version: Go 1.9 is ...
While checking Codidact Meta tags, I saw this <i>test</i> tag . The tag doesn't have usage information or detailed wiki. Likely, it is made for testing purposes or made accidently and I...
When someone takes the time to answer a question, it's nice for that person to feel recognized and that they were helpful. While seeing upvotes is a good indication that the answer was helpful to t...
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 ...
Usually, I was logging out for some reason. Whenever I try to login I get a message "Invalid email or password". Usually, I forgot my email address or password. There's a way to change password if ...
Basically, I'd ideally want something like "asked 3 days ago by A, last activity 1 day ago by B". Having just the person without the question creation date would be significantly less useful but...
Usually, maximum length of post body is 30,000 characters. And, maximum length of post title is 250 characters. Reported here. Length of thread title is also 250 characters. I was thinking, "Should...
I realize that there's a handful of trickier cases, for example anything involving multiple users, but this particular case should be relatively straight-forward. I propose that if the only undele...
Something caused posting an answer to fail for me (the web interface just sat there, the "Save Post" button disabled, but nothing further happened). To recover, I copied the text of the answer into...
Basically the title. When sorting answers by "Active" (what the button says), it actually sorts by age. (It even puts ?sort=age in the URL.) For example, this post has an answer that was edited rec...
I noticed that there are now suddenly two permalink-target links in comments. From a question page (on a comment posted by another user): From a comment thread page (this particular comment hap...
When one clicks the inbox or the arrow that makes a list of sites show up, clicking elsewhere doesn't close them - you need to click on the inbox or arrow icon again to make their respective dropdo...
When we write an answer we always have to take some lines from questions, comments and, other places. I was thinking if we could add some kind of floating button to the right bottom. When we expand...
Currently, list shows last activity about @time hour ago by @name. Instead of last activity couldn't we write @name edited a post @time hour ago. And, @name had answered on the question. And, ano...
Context for images: I know that Monica is a staff member of Codidact, which also makes her a mod, so if there's a question you have about the images, here's the context. I have recently learne...
For a while now, the reputation topic has (re-)surfaced repeatedly with the the Codidact team taking a slight stance to remove reputation in the long run. Everytime this was mentioned, there were a...
