Meta should have a dedicated category for bug reports, to increase the chance that users will pile onto an existing bug report rather than create new ones. Even people who can't be bothered to sear...
I just tried to edit my question on Outdoors (https://outdoors.codidact.com/posts/279707), but the "Edit" button at the bottom of the post is missing. Here is a screen shot: Microsoft Edge W...
I've been looking around Codidact sites, wiki, repos and mission, to be able to determine if this is even a discussable or interesting topic at all. I was about to drop any ideas to ask this questi...
"Scoring System for Trust Level Requirements" by Mithrandir24601 states that at some point, interaction with the site will be gated behind trust levels, as described in "User Privileges" on the Git...
We have launched two new communities, Music and Physics. As new communities with no data imports, they are blank or nearly-blank canvases now. We'd like to have some content before we advertise t...
There is reference to "positive reception rate" for posts in the discussion on how to earn some abilities, for example the Vote on Holds ability. What exactly does "positive reception" mean in thi...
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...
Whenever I post a question it takes a long time for someone to answer it. I do not know if someone is atleast active in the community or not. I know this community is to help each other's problems ...
Why are my comments deleted? I asked for instance that the comment box should be enlarged to fit 500 letters, so one could see all of them while typing instead of using a word type program and then...
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: ...
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...
The notifications drop-down shows the question title at least for comments that don't specifically ping you, and for answers to your own questions. However, if you're "mentioned" (pinged) in a com...
So apparently, while writing a new post, there's an auto-save feature where every once in a while the system saves the current progress as a draft. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to manual...
Isn't the arrow a the upper right corner linking all other communities as a drop down menu superfluous, when we can just scroll down where all the other communities are listed? At least, please ad...
I have seen above picture in my profile. What does the flag represent? Does it represent for those which I flagged earlier? Or, I have got 4 flags in my post? Or, It is addition of both of them.
I wrote a post without realizing I was using the default licence CC BY-SA instead of the licence I wanted to use (CC0). I wanted to amend my mistake; I wasn't able to. Other similar (but closed sou...
On the sidebar I see the following widget: "New question" is pretty self-explanatory, but what does "interesting question" mean? What are the requirements for a question to be considered "interest...
The level of activity of the communities vary. Some are more active than others, which isn't exactly a problem. However, I'm a bit worried when a community becomes significantly less active than ot...
In search results, if the result is a meta answer, it incorrectly shows as being in the Q&A category instead of the meta category. Questions appear to show properly. Here's an example from Writ...
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...
Users of StackExchange use the platform with the understanding that questions and answers are available under a CC licence and SE makes a dump of its content available under https://archive.org/det...
I might be missing something, but I can't find any way to filter a search by tags. I looked in the Help Center, but it also doesn't list any way to do it. Simply searching the tag doesn't seem to ...
Is it possible to filter for non stack exchange questions? On communities that have opted to sync, I've found it quite frustrating that I'll find a question posted "recently" I think is interestin...
In the last few months the Codidact team has opened several pages across various social media platforms (see the bottom of this post for a list). Up until now the admins have occasionally shared po...
Sometimes the number of posts indicated in the tags list does not match the number of posts displayed for that tag. This appears to be due to the inclusion of deleted posts in the displayed number....
I identified a possible Markdown rendering error. In this post, I hyperlinked the last few words. This renders correctly in the preview but not in the actual post. I’ve tested in a few browsers wi...
We've had some discussions here on Meta about shared resource pages -- wiki-style articles that anybody could edit, canonical posts, and so on. My original idea for this was that individual posts ...
Here is what one of the closed questions looks like, and as you can see one would have to scroll all the way down to find the link to the dupe target. I think it would be much better if the close ...
Over on Software, the [excel] tag was mistakenly put as a subtag of [openoffice-calc]. When I went to edit the tag to fix it, I realized there was no option to remove the parent tag. I ended up ask...
In places where I can see deleted comments (admin/moderator, possibly also comments I wrote myself and deleted (not sure if that's the case or not)), they should be secondary to the active comments...
I tried to vote (up) for Travel Codidact Site my vote will not take. I randomly tried to vote on a couple other proposal and some would not take my vote either. I was able to vote up for (and lat...
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...
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...
Basically, the title. See the table of contents on https://meta.codidact.com/questions/278967.
I saw a user account which had a negative reputation. On the StackExchange sites, the minimum user rep is 1. So why is a negative reputation possible here? I'd like to know the reason, if it was a ...
Just got a notification about a comment in my inbox. It leads to a 403 forbidden error page, so I believe I might either be lacking some privilege to view it, or maybe the post got deleted within m...
When commenting on a post, sometimes I want to comment on a specific paragraph, or similar section. The most natural way to me is to block quote it, however using Markdown to do it doesn't work (it...
I was just informed I've reached my daily voting limit. I didn't know Codidact had a voting limit. Why is there a voting limit?
I know that Codidact is a new website developed by volunteers, so I do not expect it to be as well-appointed as an experienced website like Stack Exchange. However, although I have joined Codidact ...
After commenting on an answer, the "more" link to the comment from the activity page on the user profile uses both the answer id and the comment id. For example, this link: https://meta.codidact.c...
When accessing Meta - http://meta.codidact.com - not signed in, there's a message. It reads: Welcome to Codidact Meta! Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network ...
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 ...
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...
Most of the sites are struggling to get questions and while it seems to me at least that more effort has been put into optimizing for the answerers than for the askers. To put it another way, ther...
With the hierarchical tags, it would be possible to have both a tag and its parent on the same post which is means that the parent tag is unneeded. An example would be a post with both an animal an...
Hello, everyone! I was watching this video by w2aew on the function of ceramic bypass capacitors, and at 6:00 he states that high-frequency currents take the path of least-impedance and make their ...
Since Codidact shows + and - votes on the list of posts, would it be possible (practical...) to show if the currently logged in User has voted on each post? When displaying an individual post, ther...
The following is an excerpt from this community staff's answer: I definitely didn't thought of the CoC-version of "Not Constructive" when I added the "Not Constructive"-close reason. The intention...
I have just realized that a tag is redundant: angular-2+ since we have one for [angular] (as opposed with the old flavor, [angularjs]). I have removed it from the only question and I want to remov...
There have been some "images don't display in all browsers" problems. This is a test of that. Each image is "Test Image" in magenta/pink letters on a white background. PNG JPG TIF BMP ...
