Initially HNQ's were the only reason I ever contributed to sites outside of Stack Overflow. In my opinion, a similar tool might be even more valuable in the early stages of Codidact's growth. I cou...
If you go to the post history for articles, there is no option to go back to the post. This is what the post history looks like on a regular Q&A: This is what the post history looks like on...
On answers, the "last activity" notice tells the time when the answer was edited and the user who edited it. For example, https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278908/history correctly states who edited ...
Currently, when I click the "permalink" button on a post, it just sends me to the permalink URL, which is kind of unintuitive - it took me a couple seconds to realize that the page hadn't just relo...
In the post history, the "by..." and edit reason are misaligned from the "Post edited" (more obvious when there is an edit reason) E.g. https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278406/history
Rather than reinvent each community, why don't the admins just create a community for each subject that Stack launched a site for? Such as statistics, interpersonal skills, workplace, law, philoso...
It would be nice if on pages with several subpages (like the posts page, with the previous/next and page number bar on bottom), there would be a shortcut to go to the previous/next page in the list...
I would like to see the date and time in UTC or my own time zone if set when I hover over the vague about 12 days ago to be able to compare when two events actually happened or any other reason. I...
I like the idea of a small tool zone for each answer that lets you skip quickly to the previous or next one. A navigation button or keyboard short-cut or gesture to skip one post at a time (Next/p...
I would like to have a smaller pair of duplicate UP and Down vote buttons at the end of a answer or question so I can vote after I have read it. I do not want to scroll up to vote especially if th...
Stack exchange separates languages from linguistics for good reasons. they're not the same thing. linguistics is an academic subject. and why combine all the languages on one post? like stack, why...
No offense! I want to make Codidact better and friendlier than SE! I don't know why — I don't design website or user experience — but SE's websites looks better and makes my eyes and eyesight easie...
Right now the moderator dashboard has a bunch of links to different moderator tools like Flag Queue and Featured Links. However from those tools, there is not a link back to the dashboard, you eith...
I've seen a pattern of certain users downvoting on site proposals, not because they are against the proposal itself but rather against the concept of launching a new community. Without calling out ...
Posting new comment is by selecting the function, writing the comment, hitting 'Post'. Editing existing comment is by selecting the function, making the amends, then hitting 'Post'. Having the sa...
I have been browsing through the tags on different sites and found out its URL contains the ID of the site they belong to: In Linguistics (id 36 as a site): Spanish is https://languages.codid...
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...
We've got a category for meta posts on the electrical engineering (EE) vsite. I've noticed that votes on my posts in the meta reflect in my reputation on the EE site. The votes on a local meta-EE...
Both Outdoors and Photography are running photo contests and it would be nice to display the winning image from the last contest in the sidebar. My idea of how this would look, It would also be...
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 ...
Observations Last night, I tried to sign in from my mobile browser (Firefox in Android phone), but, after having entered my credentials, clicking the blue Sign In button in the page did not allow ...
This username shouldn't be allowed: . . It's hard to even see that it is a username link most of the time, it's probably problematic for @ commenting...
Codidact currently has several communities (with varying levels of activity), and several more proposals for new communities. There seems to be an effort in many of these proposals to collect users...

Searching for why on https://judaism.codidact.com/posts/search gives a 500 server error 28844d1b-bbf5-43e3-b93a-6c001af0767e.
I am wondering about the number of votes required to perform the following actions: close reopen delete restore I have found this forum thread, but it is unclear what are the current values.
I have been informed of the following bug. I am using iPad Safari browser. When I add an image to a post, the system only says "uploading, please wait ...". After waiting for a long time, the image...
Currently the search function is severely limited. Right now you can: Match all keywords, one of a selection of keywords, or an exact search for a phrase, with wildcards, weighted keywords, and ne...
Also see the more active discussion on https://meta.codidact.com/questions/278386 Will there ever be something akin to StackExchange Community Wikis? While I'm not sure of the specifics (I've neve...
Title is self-explanatory; on mobile (or when I just resize the browser window so it appears), the hamburger menu doesn't work on meta.codidact.com when not signed in. It works as expected on every...
When signed out and viewing a question, there is a "Sign up to answer this question" button. However, there is no "Sign in to answer this question" button, which I think should be added for parity.
I was recently editing someone else's answer, but I didn't like my changes and decided to redo them. However, there was no way to reset the edit (revert to the state before I started editing). The ...
From https://codidact.com/ there is a link "communities", leading to https://codidact.com/community-assets/. Clicking on it gives 403 forbidden. I'm assuming it's just some minor cosmetic hiccup an...
On Judaism.Codidact, I merged two tags (parashat-vayeishev and vayeshev), each containing one question, into the parshat-vayeishev tag, which also contained one question. I didn't check, but I'm p...
Not really a bug, but something that I noticed. Opening the menu will give a second set of [sign up] [sign in] buttons, even though there are already a pair on the navbar. Since it is redundant, it...
This is a small one: "Ctrl+V" itself is handled correctly (first part of gif above).
When making footnotes by using [^1], the preview1 shows the "1" with an extra set of brackets: Note: As you can tell, it doesn't actually make a difference in the real appearance, just in the p...
Can there be an option to cancel writing a comment; AFAIK, the only way to do that now is to refresh the page, which is annoying to do (especially when feeling lazy).
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 ...

When I type something in the tag box, a list of similarly named tags is produced, along with the actual thing I typed, and I can click to select the tag I want. If I type something with spaces (e.g...
Sometimes when stumbling across a question I wonder if I should upvote / downvote or not. When this happened on SE sites, I hovered over the buttons and read the description. Currently, Codidact se...
See the history of this post, the reason for closure (closed as duplicate) doesn't appear in it; when I reopened the question the close reason and duplicate target were completely lost since it was...
I'd like to subscribe to updates on specific questions that I'm interested in. Is there an RSS-feed, or some kind of a "follow" feature that I can use to subscribe to updates — new answers, mainly,...

Recently, some users who are here for a longer time changed their usernames. It often happened that I saw a well-written question or answer from a user I supposedly have never seen before with a hi...
Just a small feature request, preventing duplicate links in the widget would let more posts into the Hot Posts section. Image
I propose that a category should be possible to set such that questions are closed by default (with a specific, selectable close reason that applies to all questions posted to that category) immedi...
When I try to upload a file with a PNG extension, I get: If I relabel it as png (lower case) then I can upload it. So it appears to be a problem uploading images with an upper case file extension....
