In 2020, I received a 10-year network ban from Stack Exchange for really really really bad behavior (Some people from Charcoal might know who I am). I know this website has a lot of the same people...
From a comment thread page, pressing "flag" on a comment results in a pop up panel with a text input and a "Flag" button. On mobile, in portrait mode, this pop up panel overlaps the left hand edge ...
Does Codidact have a Submit a Data Access Request form, like SE? How long shall Codidact take?
I'd like to be able to double-click in a specific location in the preview of the post I'm writing (or editing), and have the site scroll up to the post source (input box), and scroll and move the c...
Inspired by the confusion in https://meta.codidact.com/posts/290048 , I'd like to propose a UI enhancement. Using a spinner for this value doesn't make a lot of sense, since the user needs to think...
In "Preferences", I found this checkbox, Display import labels Add a Stack Exchange logo marker to imported posts to show that they're imported. but I couldn't figure out yet how to actually...
Where? The bug appears to be there at a specific help center page of the Cooking site of Codidact: https://cooking.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask What? There are two occurences of this bug. U...
My Outdoors profile is bugged. I don't have any Abilities awarded—not even Participate—although I have been able to make posts and suggest edits. I finally decided it was actually bugged when I tr...
I attempted to edit this post, but couldn't because I was attempting to change "moderator-only" tags. The following errors prevented this post from being saved: You don't have permission to chang...
Can forge https://meta.codidact.com/questions/ and https://software.codidact.com/questions/. There are two problems with that: It won't list anything until clicking any of the Activity | Age | S...
Issue #1: On the "tags" tab, there's an option to sort by hierarchy. When you have a lot of child tags under the same parent tag, or multiple parents next to each other with lots of children, thing...
I'm using Mozilla Firefox. When I try to upload a picture to a question or answer, I get the following error: error: "Images must be one of png, jpeg, jpg, gif" However, it would be easy to verify...
This has been a recurring problem for me. Sometimes (far from always, but far too often to be comfortable), when I click the notification dropdown "inbox" icon, it simply fails to open; the elemen...
I asked a question but to my surprise I cannot mark it as accepted. Is this a conscious design decision? If so, what is the reason?
With this code: <tr> <th>Downvotes</th> <th>Minimum upvotes to stay above 40%</th> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>...
When I try to access /users/edit/profile to edit my profile, I seem to be triggering a 500 server error (ID: d737d104-eea0-45a7-bd81-fda1070c6070). This is what I see in the browser console, if it'...
Right now for me, the links here https://outdoors.codidact.com/mod/featured are listed with the oldest on top, I think it would make more sense to order them the other way.
If a code block has longer lines than will fit within the width of the code block, there is no indication that this is the case, nor any obvious way to scroll horizontally. For an example, see dig ...
Could you please make the "Insert image" tool treat file extensions as case-insensitive when checking for validity? When I post here on Meta, I frequently insert screenshots taken from MS Windows' ...
Just a small feature request, preventing duplicate links in the widget would let more posts into the Hot Posts section. Image
Somesite Elsewhere lets you bookmark a question which is a helpful function if you want to revisit it without having to search it on the search box again. I'd want to use such function for the purp...
I'm pining to answer my own question. But please see below. GitHub Issue
I suggest to allow a user to edit a threaded comment's title after the threaded comment has been published, This way, if a user published the threaded comment but forgot to add a title or didn't n...
There's a post on the Judaism front page titled Meor eynayim by de rossi by "deleted user" (which looks to actually be a deleted user, since that links to # rather than an actual user profile). Fo...
As I explained in this post and some community staff confirmed, Codidact is almost a miniature version of SE. In fact, I see no radical difference between them. As we know, almost all (in my opini...
I found this website because I'm tired of the hostility from the Stack Overflow community. I'm a front end web developer. I wonder if this website have better community than Stack Overflow. Is t...
With Stack Exchange's apparent move towards accepting generative AI in the answers, people might be looking for alternatives. I, personally, recommend Codidact to people regularly. I tried to dete...
I would like, when I am logged in, the ability to specify that I do not want to see posts, or posts and answers, from a list of users. It would be preferable if this defaulted to the community that...
For some communities content from other places has been imported in the past and user profiles have been created, partly to allow users to quickly claim this identity if desired. However, these use...

In my opinion, downvoting some kinds of posts is meaningless. For example, why should anyone downvote a bug report, like this post? If someone has the same problem, they can upvote the bug report;...
Can the user info have a scroll box on mobile like there is on desktop (for when someone decides to put a ton of details in their description)?
At the time of writing, there is a big chunk of (around 15) [status-completed] and [status-declined] posts in the Q&A category feed, burying the open posts. Since open posts are much more impor...

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...
How is Codidact different from SO in terms of posting, commenting, and moderating? Not asking about financial structure of the organization.
Basically, the title. Tables, such as this example table One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Image for posterity Look... less than appealing withou...
Basically, the title. See the table of contents on https://meta.codidact.com/questions/278967.
I'm getting this error pop up when I try to close vote a question.
A sort of a solution to this problem, but would also apply to posts such as moderator elections, one-off proposals (though status-complete also works), and just generally posts which at some point ...
I ask as general reference. I compare with UK corporations, as Codidact are "incorporated in the United Kingdom as a Community Interest Company (CIC), with plans to become a Charitable Incorporated...
From the Meta category on Writing I clicked the "subscribe" button, filled out the form, submitted, and got this error: Following the instructions there, I am reporting it here.
I realize that this might be a bit of a niche use case, but I'm going to put it out here anyway. The availability of 2FA via an authenticator app is a great boost to account security. However, th...
Early for the Codidact sites, it seemed like importing content from SE might be a good way to get a new site going quickly. Now with the clarity of hindsight, we can see that this didn't work. Th...
I suggest adding some format to question (and answer) Posting tips section so that instead, for example: Questions get better answers if they are specific and clearly written. Feature requests ...
Now having a dot next to the "Edits" button to indicate pending edits brings up a new issue. It seems everyone is notified of all pending edits, whether they have the ability to approve them or no...
Tracking when each user last logged in or last was active may be onerous but such information can be helpful in various ways, such as in deciding when to return to a post. Edit At least for the tim...
Are duplicate questions a concern here as well? Is the old banner of "repository of good Q&A" still a thing? Has there been any consideration to some of the old suggestions regarding duplicate ...
Immediately after the activity entry about posting a question or answer, another entry labeled "Initial revision" is placed. This seems kind of redundant to me, since all it really says is that a p...
Similar to Stack Exchange and other forums and social platforms. I think it would be nice to be able include a location in my profile.
