FR: hide posting tips. Rationale: take too much space:
Should clicking on the question body preview in the question list take you to the question page, in the same way as clicking on the question title does? I personally would find this more convenien...
Feature request: Don't move the cursor at the end of the post when an image is being uploaded.
I’m a learner exploring Q&A tools, and after researching, I came across Codidact. I’m impressed with its features and have successfully set it up on my local machine. However, I encountered an ...
On any page of the Codidact network, one can click on the top-right dropdown button to, well, reveal a dropdown. This dropdown includes a button to sign out and a list of communities. Scrolling d...
When? When looking at search results, or list of posts in general - for e.g. viewing list of posts tagged [wikipedia]. Here's a screenshot of the mentioned example: What? The text displayed s...
In an answer on Software Development there is a layout inconsistency in the metadata below the answer. Usually the user card is to the right of the date posted, licence, and date edited. However, i...
With respect to the comment thread https://math.codidact.com/comments/thread/9445 I make the following observations: I received notifications for the first three comments. I do not believe that...
When viewing a specific answer, it has a message above it including a link to return to the normal view: If the answer sorting order is changed to "Active", the specific answer stays at the top ...
At the top right of each page is a link to Help. If you want a specific help article to be edited or added, please raise that on your community specific Meta so that a moderator can make tho...
I am starting to strongly lean towards that votes should pretty much always come with explanations. I wonder if it is not such a radical change in system design to replace the universal or generic ...
On the advertisement page of Codidact Collab, there are five types of advertisement templates available: Codidact network Community Random posts Specific post Random from Category This sp...
Main suggested change In a suggested edit page there is a “Return to post” button at the top right. This only makes sense when the previous page was the post. When the previous page was the...
Currently, acting on a notification's item closes the notification menu, which makes it impossible to open all notifications in new tabs without having to reopen the notification menu. The only wa...
Since joining I've received eight and two halves (!) copies of the pair of Participate Ability notifications. I don't see why I'm getting spammed? My first thought was that it's per-community, but...
I think it would be reasonable to introduce a new tag, "cross-duplicate-candidate" to tag cross-category or cross-community duplicates with until the software is updated to allow closing them. We'r...
If a post uses a Markdown footnote, and then another post on the same page also uses a footnote (such as a question and one of its answers, or 2 answers to the same question), the footnote link goe...
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...
Each site should have a page that shows the full history of all moderator actions (such as closes and deletes). This should be visible to everyone, even users who are not logged in. To protect the ...
I just had to go into my account preferences and turn autosave off again because it somehow had been reset to on. I know that I went through all Codidact communities a while back (maybe a month or...
I would like to be able to set a filter on tags with "OR" logic. My goal is to quickly filter to all the tags I may have knowledge to answer. But since the tags use "AND" logic, if I put in all the...
I viewed a rejected suggested edit, and then made an edit of my own to the same post. I then viewed the rejected suggested edit again, and noticed that the "before" content (the left hand side) inc...
It is common nowadays for social technology to include a “feed” of some kind, most usually as the landing page upon logging in. One can without difficulty produce some conventional arguments in fav...
I put some thoughts into the problem of attracting more people and the Incubator concept. I have ideas and suggestions I'd like to share. Maybe it gets something going. If not, also fine. Current ...
I just felt like saying that the Discourse forum software is quite good quality, and it also has some interesting examples of new forum features not commonly seen elsewhere. For example, on the Ope...
Old issue: Posting sometimes doesn't clear the saved post Moshi's comment points out that this old issue (closed in 2021) describes the same problem, so this may be a regression. Other comments su...
The current Terms of Service contain (emphasis mine): post content that is hateful, discriminatory, harmful, illegal, or otherwise objectionable; I find this part, pun intended, objectionable...
At the bottom of the Activity tab of my user profile page, there are buttons to move through the pagination of the results. There is a “Previous” button, several specific page number buttons, then ...
GitHub issue: https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/1218 When looking at a tag's wiki page on Codidact as a normal user with only the two basic abilities, there is no extended information su...
The "Copy Link" button below a post usually opens a panel that is narrower than the post, but now it is the width of the window. Since it does not start at the very left of the window, this means i...
I personally am open to the idea of treating comments here exactly as we treat posts. Since they can be quite long, we should be able to vote, suggest edits, etc, as a way of facilitating that Codi...
If I insert a URL to a Codidact post, I would like it to display the title of the post as inline text, hyperlinked to the post, without me manually doing that. For example: https://proposals.codid...
On the Help Center page "How to ask a great question" (This link points to the Codidact Meta version, but this question talks about all the versions of this page in all other communities, too) Und...
The search field at the top of the users page appears to only search from the beginning of a username. For example, trying to find my username, "trichoplax", succeeds only for prefixes of the name...
That'd be great if, when editing or creating a new post, ctrl+enter would save it.
Here is a redraft and elaboration of what this post is about, partially in response to some comments I've received. This post may be about a few different things at once, and may need to be refact...
If edits are made to a large number of posts in a short period, they will push everything else off the front page, taking visibility away from recent questions and answers. They will also take visi...
SE recently made a deal allowing OpenAI to train their LLMs on community generated content (user-created questions and answers). Many active SE users were rather dismayed about this (including myse...
When searching, deleted posts are excluded from the results for most users. The exception is that moderators and admins see deleted posts in search results. This is as expected, as moderators and a...
When I read through https://codidact.org/ I get the impression that the focus is on helping people get their questions answered. There are obviously other benefits, like providing a platform for pe...
Here on Meta, if I edit my preferences to set a favorite tag, the tag is highlighted in yellow like this: However, on Proposals, it's not working. Here's the setting (I picked a tag at random t...
A specific question that was just submitted, doesn't render its body except for when previewing the post during editing. It's not rendered on the question page, not on the comment page, nor is the ...
Correct behaviour At the bottom of the right hand panel of the user profile page (or at the bottom of the page on mobile where there is no right hand panel), the number of flags that the user has ...
Add support for AsciiDoc syntax. I find their syntax very intuitive and enjoyable. For example, numbered lists start with just a period; bulleted, a star. Nested lists don't use whitespace. Links ...
I just signed up and wanted to take the tour, but it kind of aborts abruptly when explaining "upvoting" the first answer. After two retries I realized this is because I did not click on the actual...
Sometimes, after having the site open for a while, it has been automatically signed out. This will not be apparent until you try to navigate and see the page in the signed out layout (no user avata...
We installed QPixel and when going to Tags we receive a 500 error: The exact error is: NoMethodError: undefined method `tags' for nil:NilClass The installed version is: Version 6ba3d0ad (...
When a user deletes a question they posted, it shows with a notice which includes the following wording: The author of this post decided to delete it. It can only be seen by users with the Curat...
