I'm assessing Codidact Q&A for use by our organisation, so I want to try out features to compare against our list of requirements. I don't want to be posting bogus questions where they're going...
Sometimes, posts can accidentally contain personal information that shouldn't be out on the internet, such as real names, real IP addresses, home addresses, or other pieces of PII (Personally Ident...
I expect there will be some desire to import new questions from https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/ is there a process for doing this? I also joined https://topanswers.xyz/databases where they hav...
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...
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...
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...
I want to design a network profile (and then possibly implement it). There was already discussion about that in Community dropdown and profile information, Understanding how posts were possibly rec...
When I move the mouse over the “posted … ago” text below a post, I get a tooltip with the actual posting time. However if I do the same on the last edited field (the one with the pencil at front), ...
I noticed that questions exist on this network and are accessible that are unlikely to ever be very helpful, for example because they were marked as completely off-topic. Examples Are internati...
This edit consists mostly of small corrections on punctuation and typos. Currently, the edit diff view highlights the whole paragraph in which a change was made in green/red background, and uses bo...
I have recently opened an account here and I find that have already posted. There are posts attributed to me on Writing, marked as having been sourced from StackExchange. A (pseudo)user has been ...
Recently, I saw this promoted post: I feel like the way it's presented is less than ideal, since It makes no sense out of context (Photo Contest) It's not a question, so calling it one only ...
I've noticed this both on mobile and on desktop, that in order to close a dropdown menu, you must click on the button that opened it. I think it would make for a much better user experience to be a...
S.E. provides links to comments. Can Codidact do same please?
During our tour to teach users how to use the site, there's a point where we guide you through asking a question, including adding a title and tags: However, something you have when posting an a...
On SE, there is a follow option, and you get notified when any activity on that question occurs. Can we have that same feature implemented?
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...
This is not a codidact issue per se, but it affects the avatar functionality: https://unicornify.pictures/avatar/{id}?s=16 fails because unicornify.pictures has an outdated Go version: Go 1.9 is ...
What should be done about comments that don't meet the CoC requirements?[1] As of now, there is no way to flag them, and AFAIK only mods and the author can delete comments ↩︎
It looks to me like the session cookie that holds one's user session credentials is currently bound to the specific site. The result of this is that you need to sign in separately to, say, Scientif...
Currently, we're planning to implement a system for user privileges based on Trust Levels. These are of the form of 'if you satisfy [these requirements], you get [these perks]', where [these requir...
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 ...
I clicked on "edit" on a post, and received the following message: Forbidden You have been denied access to this resource because you lack the necessary privileges to access it. Once you gain e...
I have just observed a bug, and I'm not sure what the protocol is. Is bug reporting and tracking done on codidact.org, meta.codidact.com, or both? If both, and I can't find the bug mentioned on eit...
Would it be possible to change the search so that you don't end up on a separate page? It feels a bit clunky to not be able to search directly. Replace the search button with a text box for the que...
Where is the documentation for the markdown codes used on these pages? I'm trying to RTFM, but can't find the M. I did look in HELP, but it's not there. Below where I'm typing this, there is a b...
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...
Several months ago when I first took a look upon Codidact project, I saw that it is using ASP.NET Core 3.1 and I said to myself that this is a project that I can contribute to. This frameworks seem...
What's the difference between codidact.org and codidact.com?
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...
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...
While the current notification system is okay, I'd like to be able to receive email notifications for things such as a new answer to my questions. (Of course, this should be opt-in. Maybe add a che...
When I try to send a moderator warning to a user with no suspension, the user gets suspended. Here's me about to warn a test account with no suspension: Here's what I get after I click the "Warn (...
Are there any rules about a user having multiple Codidact accounts (sometimes known as sockpuppet accounts)? What should a user do if they suspect another user has multiple accounts?
I have been visiting the site for some time now and I am slowly developing a bit of a problem with the landing page for codidact.com: First of all, there is no indication on that page of whether...
Particularly when I didn't delete these questions that were deleted by other users or moderators? I hanker to see, here on Codidact, all my questions deleted here on Codidact. I don't want to visi...
This is particularly helpful to find unanswered questions: answers:0. I pine to see merely the UNanswered questions on Math Main. But see below.
I'm not entirely sure where they would go, but I think reactions should be in your profile activity in some way. I think reactions are most similar to votes so I would treat them the same. So do no...
tl;dr According to this post, the div tag is not allowed, thus it's removed from posts. But it's not removed from the preview, and I believe both (the preview and the final saved post) should be c...
The latest update includes a few small changes of possible general interest: Moderators can now escalate flags to the admin team. If you have a flag that requires our attention, or if you wan...
One of the concerns of How can we grow this community posts (see on Power Users and on Linux Systems) is that the sites may not be active enough, resulting in a poor first impression. If my calcul...
See this suggested edit, where the user suggested adding the tag "American English". Due to it having a space, I am unable to approve the edit, getting the message Tags may not include spaces or...
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...
This answer on Writing Codidact has been edited. The question currently shows on the category front page as "last activity 1 day ago". However, on the question page, there is no indication that t...
The feature that causes drafts to be saved automatically should: Save the title and tags. Be activated when I edit a tag or the title. I put the tags for bug and feature request on because I did...
I saw a user account which had a negative reputation. On the StackExchange sites, the minimum user rep is 1. So why is a negative reputation possible here? I'd like to know the reason, if it was a ...
I'm not sure where to start, on my first visit to this site. I don't know the rules, the context, the history, anything really. What brought me here is the search for better online discussion techn...
Users can specify the language of a code block by adding it after the first set of triple backticks. For example, this question over on Software Dev uses it for C. What programming languages are su...
I'm planning to add a public API to Codidact so people can make applications that read Codidact data automatically. Features and purposes I have my own purposes in mind for this[1], but there are...
Is there a way to send a message to a moderator without raising a flag? If yes, please explain. If no, consider this a feature request. I tried to send a message to a mod about a question that g...
