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...
I asked a question but to my surprise I cannot mark it as accepted. Is this a conscious design decision? If so, what is the reason?
Right now for me, the links here https://outdoors.codidact.com/mod/featured are listed with the oldest on top, I think it would make more sense to order them the other way.
A feature that SE has that Qpixel lacks is the related questions in the side bar. It makes it easier to find other similar questions or even duplicates. It also creates more engagement because afte...
Whenever there is a new comment or answer to one of my posts, I get a notification in my notification bar. However, even though I click on it and read the content in question, the notifications don...
I wrote a question which I tagged, only to see a few seconds later that I accidentally tagged the question with the wrong tag. So I revised it. This how the history of my question looks: As you ca...
I think there might be some sort of point bug. Two days ago, over on Judaism I had 38 points. The next day I was down to 28, leading me to believe that I had gotten multiple down-votes for a post I...
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...
I was typing out a question that I was going to answer myself but when I was drafting up an answer, my internet browser decided to crash. It is a minor inconvenience but it did take me a while to t...
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...
This website seems much like the Stack Exchange family of sites, but I immediately noticed some differences, like being able to comment at once and not being able to vote on this meta (but the abil...
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...
I would prefer to post questions in Codidact than on Stack Exchange and I want to contribute to Codidact by doing so. However, I am certain that the probability of getting a useful answer is higher...
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 ...
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?
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...
Currently in order to check for new posts on the sites I am interested in, I have to visit the sites individually. Since the posts are stored in one DB would it be possible to get a page here that...
With the recently added article post type (used to share recipes on Cooking), the URL to the post is /articles/nnnnn (where nnnnn is the post ID), or /ar instead of /articles for shorter links. How...
When users of a Codidact site come up with bugs or feature requests that are not specific to that site: Is it preferable that they post to their local Meta or to Meta.Codidact? Is one of these ...
About a month ago I shared our first draft for a Review Panel. Read through that post to find the motivation for this idea: It should be clear that such a process shouldn't involve "us" (the Codid...
Currently, when viewing a post, Codidact will show you the raw votes on a post, with the breakdown into upvotes and downvotes: There's been some feedback that this is a bit too much to show, espec...
Why is there no written chat here where one can post without having to worry about deletions and downvoting? SE has a very good one where I have written a very lot on. Why can't we discuss a subjec...
As I explained in this post and some community staff confirmed, Codidact is almost a miniature version of SE. In fact, I see no radical difference between them. As we know, almost all (in my opini...
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....
If you write a long comment close to 500 characters, then edit it and go beyond 500, you get no notification that the comment is now too long. The letter counter isn't present during edit and when ...
I would like to get notifications about post which I participate in. Is there a way for me to subscribe to a specific question (or to all I have participated in)?
Is "codidact" some kind of acronym? Or it's a "Co(mpany) Did Act" or something? Or it means something in a language I'm unfamiliar with? Ever since I heard the name of it I've been confused as to w...
Can the display order of help pages for a site be explicitly set somehow? I'm starting to create help pages for a new site, and would like to set the order they are shown in. For example, I'd like...
I haven't found the option to remove/delete account in neither "Account" tab nor "Edit" one. I don't want to do it but I think it should be possible anyway. The Q what should happen to content that...
The image uploader seems broken. Clicking on the upload button does nothing. Cross ref: bug report posted over at Photography Meta. Also, I just noticed while making the link above, clicking the "l...
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...
What's the difference between codidact.org and codidact.com?
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...
Right now there really isn't a good way for a mod to delete rude comments before their parent post is flagged, other than looking through profiles of repeat offenders. On sites with imported commen...
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...
We need to figure out tags in the "Site Proposals" category. I noticed that some proposals were tagged "suggestion" and some "new-communities" and started to replace the former with the latter, an...
I proposed the new site Electrical Engineering, and I see that the basic framework has been created. Thanks. However, there is a difference between the basic mechanics of a site, and a fully up-a...
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 a post has a lot of comments, the last ones are hidden behind a "Show more comments" link. For some reason, even though I know it's there, I really have to think about it each time. "I thought I...
I'm trying the tour at https://meta.codidact.com/tour/ask . I really like how people are given first-hand experience with writing a question! However, it is not currently loading tags. Above the li...
I just signed up here on meta because that was my initial point of entry. The underlying reason of interest for me is https://outdoors.codidact.com/. However I just failed to sign up there with my ...
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...
When I use the editor to write up a question or an answer, sometimes I use the buttons of the editor to add underscores to format my text. But when I use the buttons, it inserts the underscores rig...
Inspired by the change log but certainly not limited to that one post. Many times I find myself writing an answer which goes on for quite a bit, and I find it natural to break it up with # Headers....
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....
In my notifications inbox, notifications have time stamps to show when they've been created. Can time stamps also be included in the notifications pull down menu? This way, it's possible to see qui...
Is it a problem if specific users harvest highly-voted questions on SE, then self answer, to farm a huge amount of rep? And if so, what can we do to prevent it? I haven't seen it happen, but askin...
Oh... yet another announcement from me :) So, we built a new user tour, which explains how Codidact works. Every new user will get an inbox-notification inviting them to take the tour (only once, n...
Everytime I write longer comments and exceed a certain amount of characters, the input field for comments becomes scrollable. However, the scrolling makes it very hard for me to find specific passa...
I made a small edit to one of the help pages on EE. Now there are two help boxes. Previously there was only one, as desired. Here's what it looks like now: I understand you're in the middle of ...
