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...
When I use SO I see a load of questions that would be better asked on a spin-off site. Eg SQL questions that would be way better answered on DBA.se. But SQL is a programming language and so fits o...
When I click "add a comment", the text area that I can type in appears, but the focus is not on it. I have to tab to or click on the area before I can start typing.
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...
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...
Both Outdoors and Photography are running photo contests and it would be nice to display the winning image from the last contest in the sidebar. My idea of how this would look, It would also be...
I noticed that this answer has two pairs of brackets: However, in the preview, it shows as only a single pair of brackets, Also here is an example in this post[1]. Weirdly it seems to only a...
After discovering keyboard shortcuts, I noticed a problem: The keyboard shortcuts for going to individual categories (like g c 1) don't do anything for me. Note that the shortcut for the category...
It would be nice if on pages with several subpages (like the posts page, with the previous/next and page number bar on bottom), there would be a shortcut to go to the previous/next page in the list...
Since tables are now available (hooray!), it can be helpful to users to include a reference in the format buttons of the post. So from the current set of icons: We can add another one like ...
With this post I have a really big table, and it takes up quite a bit of space. I could fold it over (add extra columns, fold table into a 8x25 table instead of a 2x100), but that is, ofc, extra w...
There is reference to "positive reception rate" for posts in the discussion on how to earn some abilities, for example the Vote on Holds ability. What exactly does "positive reception" mean in thi...
So if one looks at the list of Codidact communities, either on the main https://codidact.com/ page or in the footer at the bottom of every community's page, the list doesn't seem to be in a useful ...
It seems like community dropdown has no restriction on a height (or it is too big) so it doesn't look fine on displays with small sizes: It would be great if this list couldn't occupy more than ...
On another codidact website someone suggested an edit to one of my posts. When I was browsing meta.codidact, I clicked the link to the suggested edit. It lead to https://meta.codidact.com/posts/sug...
S.E. has this feature. You just copy and paste the link of the picture, and S.E. uploads it for you. But for Codidact, I have to download the picture to my computer. Then upload it? This wastes ti...
When I click on "Add a comment" at the end of a post, a box appears where I can type my comment, along with the buttons "Post" and "Discard" below it. But, after I type my comment and click on "Pos...
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...
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 ...
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...
I'd like to see a history of comments posted (and for moderators, perhaps even including deleted comments) on a user's profile page. Use cases: Allow moderators to look over the totality of a use...
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...
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...
When adding a new comment, there is a helpful character count (x/500). If you exceed the count, it is clear that is why the comment can't be saved. When editing an existing comment, there is no ch...
I wrote a question on a site I hadn't been to before, and got an answer. I tried to upvote the answer, but was shown: I only have 1 rep (should start at 0, but that's another matter), so I can un...
I just noticed when posting a fourth writing challenge that the answer license there defaults to CC BY-SA 4.0. That's the site default license. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but the default ...
I tried to vote (up) for Travel Codidact Site my vote will not take. I randomly tried to vote on a couple other proposal and some would not take my vote either. I was able to vote up for (and lat...
Not sure if it's just me, but when I visit the main site it doesn't show any icon on the tab. It's not a serious issue, but I thought I'd bring it up. Update: Issue reappeared
Currently votes for blog posts are counted in total but there are no rows for this type in additional, expanded grid ("on Question", "on Answer") This may confuse new users since usually one exp...
When You have the keyboard shortcuts menu open while asking a question1, the "tag" bar is on top of it Since this is only a problem in this uncommon situation, it doesn't have to take priority ...
Sometimes, I forget to mention someone when I first make a comment, and I go and edit the mention in. However, I've been told that this doesn't actually send them a notification. Can we get it so t...
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)
The question post "Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel" is closed as a duplicate of the later "Second Iteration of Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel" and has a n...
When making footnotes by using [^1], the preview1 shows the "1" with an extra set of brackets: Note: As you can tell, it doesn't actually make a difference in the real appearance, just in the p...
When editing my user profile, the preview is missing.
(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. ...
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...
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.
In the first comment (by msh210) to this answer, the comment content is intermingled with the text containing the author and age of the comment. A screenshot demonstrating the issue is below.
I'm sure there are people who love the keyboard shortcuts. However, I find them to (a) be somewhat overzealous (just now, I was somehow redirected to the "ask question" page while I was writing an ...
Meaning of the status-declined tag is clear in case of feature request, bug type of question or, even, flags. But "discussion"? It's confusing. Context: Voluntariness vs. Responsibility, which of t...
I was recently editing someone else's answer, but I didn't like my changes and decided to redo them. However, there was no way to reset the edit (revert to the state before I started editing). The ...
I think there is a bug with a final text numbering not matching the numbering in the preview. I recently posted this answeron meta. When I edit the question the preview of the text displays correc...
If I try to start a comment with a digit followed by dot and space afterward, it is missing after I post it. N.B. I hope this is the right place to write this kind of issues.
If I am on some web page (such as on Codidact), and want to check out some detail elsewhere on the web, my usual first step is to press Ctrl+N to open a new browser window, then navigate to do what...
I was looking for how to search, and it took a bit, because I was looking for a box to click and type. A nice feature would be having a box with placeholder text "Search" (and a way to submit) ins...
I suggested an edit to an answer here on Meta, but the banner at the top titled "Posting Tips" is the same as the one that appears when asking a question: The text of the banner starts out by sa...
I keep learning about the hard work that has been done in Codidact over time. There are many little things that are known by the veterans, but may not be easy to understand for the newcomers like m...
S.E. has wrongfully deleted questions and/or suspended people for posting pictures with brand names, because by default they think all brand names are advertising and spam. I confirm I don't work f...
