Welcome to Codidact Meta!
Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.
General Q&A about the Codidact instance hosted at codidact.com or using the software that runs it. For questions about setting up your own instance of the software or questions about the code, see Codidact Collab.

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...
Issue: Consider the scenario where you post a new question, and five people all write comments or answers on it. Your inbox will then have five notifications in it, one for each new response. You c...
I can't post a new answer when that answer contains an image. Clicking Post Answer makes it turn gray, but it then just sits there. I removed the image from the post, and it worked. See https://...
I've noticed that the photography.codidact meta tagging system differs from what seems more conventional. For example, it appears that there no tags are mandatory (here at least one of [bug] [featu...
I noticed that the email subscriptions settings page doesn't sync between the different sites. It kind of irks me that everything else is exactly the same between the different account pages except...
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...
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...
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...
Was reading this Post and I certainly agree with the general differences like open source and non-profit that differentiate Codidact. But the Community vs Repo point leaves some questions. Sure eac...
Here on Meta, I see beneath a question a "🔧 Tools" button. It looks clickable (my mouse turns into a hand and the background changes onhover) but nothing happens when I click it. On Electrical Eng...
I've noticed that images uploaded to Codidact don't retain any meta information. That is, they don't keep either the name of the image or the image extension. While the former isn't that bad (alt t...
Today I saw the following question on Software Dev (this is the beginning): (rest of post...) The title, "connect with SLOT/SIGNAL:QPushButton clicked signal not received by main window" sounds li...
There are currently seven tags with zero posts associated with them in the Meta Q&A category1 (excluding tags like TibetLhasatourpackage which have deleted posts associated with them.) These ta...
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...
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...
This might sound silly, but ever since I wrote my first post here, I have noticed that the title comes after the body and I find it quite strange. Since I have some activity using Stack Exchange (b...
On this answer to my question over on Languages, you can see how it ended up overflowing the post area and how part of it is hidden underneath the side widget. This is because of the long string o...
When a suggested edit review appears for your post, it isn't possible to see what was changed. Someone made an edit to my post here https://software.codidact.com/posts/suggested-edit/86 and the dif...
I've recently been looking through the [bug] tag, and one thing stood out to me. Every bug post either has no answers, or one answer that just says, "The bug has been fixed" (or some variation ther...
Just a tiny cosmetic stuff easy to fix. Please add tooltip for the characters used for admins and moderators in the user list. Note: I know these already exist in the actual user profile.
According to the Terms of Service, You agree not to use the Service to [...] violate any applicable law or regulation; [...] post content that is hateful, discriminatory, harmful, illegal, or othe...
My other Meta post n the usage of status tags pointed out a pretty big gap to me. Namely, we don't have a tag to signify that something is being actively worked on. While we currently use either [s...
If you go to the “Native” tab on a site, many imported questions show up. It appears to me that any question which was edited on Codidact is treated as a native question.
As of the time of writing, this request has the [status-completed] tag despite the change not being live yet. It is completely developed, sure, but since it is not yet deployed, should the request ...
Currently, the user list displays the Administrator (☗) and Moderator (☖) badges on users, but not the staff badge that displays when you go to the user's profile. For consistency, could you have t...
Currently, each post is visibly tagged with a timestamp that indicates when it was posted, as well as by whom. Also, of course, posts can be edited; both by the original poster, and by other users....
I notice that all the other Codidact sites have Meta categories, places to ask about the site itself, but this one doesn't. I think this site should have a Meta category where people can ask questi...
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...
Examining Codidact communities, one can easily find out that Codidact is almost a duplicate of SE I know that many Codidact users (or maybe all of them) are current or former SE users, so it was ex...
(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...
The site claims I edited this post 6 hours ago: https://electrical.codidact.com/questions/276256 6 hours ago I was very much asleep since that's around 4am here. I don't remember editing this post ...
After joining Codidact and then reading many posts, I concluded that Codidact is a place allowing people to express their opposing ideas freely, unlike SE. But, something happened that I had to dou...
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 ...
I have noticed that a particular Language & Liquistics answer has formatting issues: Since this is the only instance I have noticed this behaviour, I assume it is related to the answer content...
In the footer, the sites are currently arranged as: Writing Outdoors Photography Sci Spec Cooking Electrical Engineering Judaism L&L Software Dev Meta With the exclusion of setting Meta apart...
I keep track of new posts via RSS feeds. I would like to have a feed associated with my account that contains only tags/categories/sites I've asked it to watch. That way, I see only the posts I am ...
Answers are shown in order according to their score derived from their votes. However, for answers with the same score, they seem to be shown in chronological order of creation time. This tends t...
Suppose that I have suggested a community idea which has been heavily downvoted. Now, if I can gather enough people interested in contributing to the community regularly, then will this idea be pla...
There are currently only two choices available to add a "user is suspended" header on a profile. The two reasons are "for being rude" and "to cool down." Sometimes neither of these may be accurate....
Right now, if a category has new/updated posts, a small dot appears next to the category name. Could this feature be extended to posts within the category as well? While it's not that hard to just ...
This question's page shows up as not secure on my computer. I believe it is due to this answer. When I look in the console, it warns that the images on it were loaded insecurely (since the image l...
Noticed that score (reputation) is different than I would expect. Bigger. Why is it changed? How is it calculated now? 10 for Q and 15 for A?
When logging in with a password, there is an option to remain logged in. However, when using the QR code to login on mobile, this option isn't available, making logging in with the QR code more cum...
(Persistent irrelevant comment: I jumped down to the title field and entered that first and then went back up here to enter the actual question.) I tried to vote on an answer and nothing happened. ...
The "recent deletions" link under mod tools is consistently returning a 500 server error for me. One reference: 2ba998b1-84b1-4675-aeb8-bebcf3465b5f I've tried this on two sites. It's been a few ...
If this had a feature where one could set triggers for stuff, I'd use it to set up a trigger that re licenses all and each of my CC BY NC SA stuff to CC BY SA1 after each hits 50th year age. The go...
So this has been bugging me for a while now. Recently, the tags Chinese, Cantonese, and Mandarin were changed to lowercase. When asking why on the discord, I was told that it was because "tags are ...
I don't like the idea that someone's signature can appear on a piece of text that he didn't write or approve. I'm guessing moderators can edit comments. If so, can a moderator-edited comment please...
Currently, each category of a site has its own individual RSS feed. While it's useful, could we have an RSS feed for the entire site? (like how Subscriptions work, but as an RSS feed)
