I just had to go into my account preferences and turn autosave off again because it somehow had been reset to on. I know that I went through all Codidact communities a while back (maybe a month or...
I just created a bug report post about notifications in the inbox. When applying tags for my post, I typed in "notifications". That resulted in two tags [tag:notification] and [tag:notifications]. ...
I made some questions and/or answers which I later learned were apparently preposterous and were downvoted, so I deleted them. As their author, I should be able to view them so long as I have a dir...
Add support for AsciiDoc syntax. I find their syntax very intuitive and enjoyable. For example, numbered lists start with just a period; bulleted, a star. Nested lists don't use whitespace. Links ...
The library of Congress classification system gives items both a single class, and multiple subject tags. This system has some significant benefits. Also, their subject tag system has sub-tags - f...
Would there ever be a scenario where an experimental feature is tried out with a smaller cohort of users in order to observe the resulting dynamics and compare it to the alternative? I mean more t...
I noticed that sometimes when I click notifications, they keep reappearing after I refresh. If I refresh several times, and click several times, eventually it "sticks" and they become read. I don't...
It could be cool to have more accessible chatting for all posts. What if there were a sidebar on every post where there was always a live chat? Unlike SE, you never need to specifically create and ...
I personally am open to the idea of treating comments here exactly as we treat posts. Since they can be quite long, we should be able to vote, suggest edits, etc, as a way of facilitating that Codi...
Currently when viewing a post, there is no indication that it's being used as a duplicate target. As a curator, it's useful information to me that when I view a question, I am also informed if any...
When looking at the Abilities dashboard of another user and clicking on any ability, for example the curate ability page of a mod looks like (I replaced the actual mod name with (ModName) for sake ...
Clicking on a tag takes you to a page showing the details of the tag, followed by a list of posts bearing that tag. However, each of these posts is shown with only that tag. All other tags on each ...
As a moderator on EE, I'd like to be able to grant abilities to specific users. Personally, I think the system is way too restrictive with the edit ability. If someone abuses it, there will be co...
This is in response to something that happened on the Math site, but it's really a Codidact-wide issue. A week or two ago, someone posted a poorly written question. Not surprisingly, the question...
Currently, when pasting a link to somewhere on Codidact, into posts or comments, the link is rendered in the output the same way it's written in the post source; that is, the URL. The parser should...
This is an example of a comment thread featuring a user mention. When the comment is edited, the user mention element incorrectly turns red. A reload fixes this. Hovering on it shows which...
I was surprised to find that ordinary user privileges allow me to close my own posts unilaterally. It does seem useful; just now I posted something on Linux Systems and realized it needed some fixe...
Discussion on Introduce a spam reaction? brought up the idea of preventing new users from posting links, so as to create an additional hurdle for spammers (who will rarely make any serious attempt ...
I was on the Software Dev CD tag page, clicking through the pages of the "Hierarchy" sort. I wanted to see if there were git-* tags that are not nested under the git tag.[1] Surprisingly, I discov...
For an on-premise (or Cloud) hosted instance of Codidact, is there existing functionality that provides Single Sign On (SSO) in conjunction with Active Directory (AD)?
Stack Overflow was created on the premise of having questions and answers without the chitchat and other common problems well-known in Internet discussion forums. The founders learned they still ne...
As things stand, the options for flagging a question seem rather spartan: Image of flagging dialog We have: two options for actual abusive use of the site software an option for dupli...
Codidact posts support Markdown tables. For example, the following raw text: Column 1 | Column 2 -------- | -------- Data A | Data B Data C | Data D renders as: Column 1 Column ...
On the Tags tab, clicking on a tag in the list follows a link to the specific tag page. However, this only works if you click on the tag itself. The tags in the list each have a snippet of their de...
When I edit tags on EE.Codidact I've noticed that the character limit counter for the usage guidance remains at zero. Is it a known issue? Unless there is something wrong with my browser (Firefox)...
Love all the work that's being put into this! I would love to translate Codidact's software (QPixel) to another language so that it's accessible to more people who want to deploy their communities...
On the filters tab of the user page, there is a drop down box called "Predefined Filters": On mobile, tapping on the drop down box for the first time after page load results in a pop up selectio...
After signing in the user is taken to the home page of the community from which they signed in (so, the Q&A posts tab here on Codidact Meta). This means that if I am reading a question and dec...
Sometimes I will compose a lengthy post, submit it, see it in context and immediately notice a typo - no matter how careful I thought I was being. I'm not sure it's desirable that, when I go to fi...
On Stack Exchange, I spent a significant portion of my time on the site editing posts, because the idea of an SE site as a repository of useful reference information has long appealed to me. Being...
Where? The bug appears to be there at a specific help center page of the Cooking site of Codidact: https://cooking.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask What? There are two occurences of this bug. U...
The communities "drop-down"/"switcher" menu next to the user profile could do with a few tweaks. The communities appearing there are sorted after order of community creation. That is: Writing, Codi...
In 2020, I received a 10-year network ban from Stack Exchange for really really really bad behavior (Some people from Charcoal might know who I am). I know this website has a lot of the same people...
I'm a bit hesitant to write this since it's not generally a good idea to walk into a host's house and immediately criticize the way it's laid out. But there really is only one chance to make first ...
I would like to be able to write e.g. [software.cd] and have it generate a link to https://software.codidact.com with a friendly title. Currently, it becomes a link based on the actual text content...
For 2 communities (Writing and Outdoors) the License drop down list when making a new post shows an option of CC BY-SA 3.0: For all of the other Codidact communities this option is not present. ...
If I insert a URL to a Codidact post, I would like it to display the title of the post as inline text, hyperlinked to the post, without me manually doing that. For example: https://proposals.codid...
The sorting buttons at the top of a category's post list have title text which appears on hovering with a mouse, but this is not available on mobile devices. "Activity", "Age", and "Score" are r...
Motivation On Stack Exchange (SE) I could have a really hard time following a discussion in comments between multiple users if one of the users deleted their account or changed their username. He...
Show score on the horizontal score bar. When I started browsing first time I didn't know what the horizontal bar with green stripe in it is for. Took a while to figure out it is score. Wouldn't it ...
I am starting to strongly lean towards that votes should pretty much always come with explanations. I wonder if it is not such a radical change in system design to replace the universal or generic ...
I find the copy button on code blocks in posts very useful. Could this also be added to code blocks in other places such as help documents? For example, the Template for Proposal Posts would be mu...
I wish to open a theoretical conversation on some aspects of the site policies regarding AI. I do this purely out of an inherent interest in deep, rigorous, clear, and self-consistent argumentation...
Stack Overflow's help section offers the following guidance for its meta site: Voting is different on meta. Like normal Stack Exchange sites, Meta allows members to vote on questions and answer...
I was confused by the unusual layout of text below a post in the question list: Note the long gap after "posted 3y ago by". Viewing the individual question page shows the underlying cause: T...
In the Vote Summary tab of the user page, each of a users posts shows how many votes up and down: This shows voting, but does not make clear how this affects reputation. In this example, the fir...
This suggested edit on a math.codidact.com question appears to only add some tags. However, I had to open and compare the current status of the question to figure that out, because it shows the ent...
On some sites that support Two Factor Authentication (2FA) there is the option of remembering your device so that in future 2FA will only be required if signing in from a different device. This is ...
I've seen many times something like "This is just my personal opinion, not of the team" when administrators such as Monica Cellio respond to posts. In my opinion, this is because of a lack of a way...
