(This may not be the simplest feature request. It's also not extremely high priority. It's a nice-to-have, not imperative, and may not be possible at the moment - which is fine.) Everyone loves ke...
You have a website or a blog where you want to advertise for your favorite Codidact community? Or you got permission to advertise on someone else's website? Great. Please spread the word and invite...
It's probably just my Internet connection, but I often find when I'm composing a post that my window freezes for a few moments so that my post can autosave. Sometimes it happens often enough to be ...
Currently, the pending flags don't show in the header in the mobile view. Even if moderation from a smartphone isn't ideal, there are going to be times when I will be away from my computer for an e...
Since Codidact was founded, we have had one rule leading our path every step of the way. It's the rule that community comes first. That the Codidact "staff" shouldn’t overrule the community, but co...
When referring to individual Codidact communities, what is the standard way of referring to them? In most cases, the name of the community is a generic term that doesn't by itself refer specificall...
When Scientific Speculation was populated with questions and answers from Worldbuilding SE, it also inherited the Worldbuilding SE set of tags. Specifically for the purposes of this question, it in...

If I disable images on Codidact, I get, naturally, a broken image instead. However, instead of the alt text that is supposed to show up instead, I get... nothing. I just added alt text to this answ...
There is a pending edit on one of my posts. When I click on Review Changes, I get a page showing two versions of the post side by side. The problem is, there are no obvious changes. It's not even...
3 points in this proposal: Allow users to review other users' reviews; Display information about reviews on your reviews by others; Allow reviewers to opt out of certain tags if they are not confi...
With the network constantly but surely growing, I wondered how Codidact is financed. I think that this question is highly relevant as it's emphasised that Codidact is run for the community from the...
I tried to upload an image and wondered why I didn't work. So I tried again and again until I noticed that my images were barely larger than 2 megabytes. Can you please add a warning if images are ...
When I want to upload a picture from my computer, I use the upload button in the editor to upload it directly. For this feature, I would like an extra step to confirm that I really want to upload t...
When clicking the link feature while posting, would it be possible to make the cursor automatically focus in the empty textbox for link URL? Unlike on other sites like Gmail, if I select text to li...
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...
On my phone, the notifications list is badly truncated; see attached photo to show how it spills off the right side. I have no way to scroll to legibility. Chrome/Android/Pixel2XL.
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...
If I go to: https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/276449#comment-1676 the Sefaria links work fine. However, if I click on "Show 3 more comments" below the Question, the Sefaria links all disappear.
This is what my profile page, as of current writing, looks like on a normal width browser: This is what it looks like once the browser window is sufficiently narrow: I'd have thought that the ima...
I was looking at some random questions on Outdoors, and I noticed that some of the "Upvote Downvote indicator"/"Green Red thing" was off on a few questions. Here are 5 examples. (This may have happ...
When I'm signed in, I see a set of post action links such as the following (this is from a question): Permalink | History | Suggest edit | Close | Delete | Flag The "Suggest edit" changes to ...
I've been working on the user help center recently - writing new help pages and improving old ones. You can see the latest changes and suggestions - even the ones that haven't been deployed to the ...
The hierarchies of tags are awesome, but its a little hard to see the relationship. Could we get a page where the tags are displayed like this, Animals Antelopes Bears Black Bears Polar Bears ...
We have just pushed some updates related to tags. You will now see a "tags" link in the category bar (next to "posts"), which leads to a searchable list of all tags. Selecting an individual tag t...
I'd love a Codidact-specific markdown extension that links to a post in a particular category. That was really unclear, so let me give an example. A particular site can have a Glossary category wit...
I noticed that I have been getting pinged for comments and answers to my questions only, but I'm not getting pinged if someone does "@Dani" on a different users' question/answer, for example here. ...
If I navigate to my list of question subscriptions, all I see is my subscriptions for the current community. The user profile syncs across all sites; is there a way to combine all of the question s...
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...
Hi everyone! I'm joining the bandwagon coming from SE. I've been active over there for just over four years, so needless to say that I'm very familiar with that platform. Codidact shares a lot of s...
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...
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...
Is there any specific reason why the Judaism community isn't displayed on the Codidact community page?
Each post on Codidact has a "permalink" link under it, which points back to the post. The general format seems to be http://<site>.codidact.com/<type>/<id>/<id> where the f...
I noticed that visiting Using accents while staying legible on Writing triggered a mixed content warning in my browser. Another example is How to train readers in Argot or Slang (full disclosure: I...
Currently on SE, Reddit, and many other sites, if I just select text, and then hit the link button, it will automatically take the link text from the selection. For me currently, the link button f...
Bug in displaying footnote links^[example source]. Displays in preview window, but doesn't display in post on Chrome. What I see when I post:
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...
Whenever you are typing a comment on a post, there's a live-updating character count that shows how many of the allowed 500 characters you have used so far. However, when you post the comment, the ...
Now that we are getting some activity on the EE site, I'm discovering features I used more than I realized on SE. On SE, you could go to your activity > reputation and see all the recent votes y...
Should user accounts from forum.codidact.org be imported? Since the forum was deprecated, I read the notice and went to this meta. The top of the meta says that all Codidact sites have the same log...
I'm assuming that self-answered Q&A is fine and on-topic in most communities - if not, open for discussion below. "That other site" got a little check box which you can use upon posting a quest...
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 ...
I was just writing an answer on the EE site, and what was shown in the edit window (not even the preview) was way behind my typing. This made it very tedious, to the point of being unusable. I wa...

I just edited a post of mine. When I was done, the page refreshed, but the window was positioned at the very top of the page, rather than at the top of the item I had just edited. I had to manually...
In the last day or so, the preview when writing a post keeps jumping up and down. Even just typing a few characters causes this over the next few seconds. I think I see what's going on. Whenever...
