In this post history, a very long link greatly overflows the width of the diff box. You can see there is a tail peeking out from the right side, and a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the p...
Three of Codidact's early communities did large-scale imports of content from Stack Exchange, and at the request of some community members, we added an icon to those questions on question lists. O...
I was delighted to find that a post I started writing on my phone automatically had a draft saved so I could continue writing it on my computer when I got home. However, I noticed that only the bod...
I notice that a number is displayed as the hovertext / tooltip when hovering over the voting buttons and current score of a post. Would it be helpful for the hovertext to include a brief descriptio...
I had visited the dashboard. In it I saw some meta sites containing silver circles. Others do not. What does the silver circle represent? Is it a bug? There's a hover text on the silver butto...
Okay this is a weird one. I just found this bug when asking this question. It turns out that if you try to open an ability page (e.g. https://meta.codidact.com/abilities/unrestricted) when you're ...
I want to propose a site for Hinduism here that will cover both Hinduism, the religion/theology itself and also secular studies on Hinduism (how the religion, its scriptures, different sects, langu...
There doesn't seem to be a sandbox to play with site such as formatting, deleting, etc. here or on other sites. Could such a sandbox be made to help people experiment?
Popup vs. Inline The box that pops up when starting a new Comment Thread is in the middle of the page and it is not movable. When writing a comment, unless it is very short, I often want to be...
I just noticed that any help center on any site has lots of duplicate links below "About Codidact" and "Legal". The same links are listed 2 times in a row. I get this on every single Codidact comm...
Still a high schooler, I like adding some style on my equations for answering math assignments and I've been using MathJax from Mathematics SE to grab symbols for the better of it. A certain case i...
We currently use Discord for community chat. Not everybody uses Discord and that's fine; nobody is required to be in chat. Someday we would like to remove our dependence on a third-party service,...
Is there a limit on the length of a post (either question, answer, article, etc) on Codidact sites? The current UI only shows this limit for comments, but not for posts - this is not a feature req...
I noticed that https://collab.codidact.org/ is serving an expired certificate; it has a validity not-after of Aug 9 2021 21:15 UTC. Even though it lists a bunch of other Codidact sites as Subject ...
On Stack Exchange, downvoting a question or answer —2 your reputation. What about here?
Comments can contain math code that is rendered by Mathjax, just as posts can. (On sites where Mathjax is enabled, such as Physics and Scientific Speculation.) However, if a comment is edited and ...
Somewhere Else has its fair share of favicons on sites. A default bubble with letters for sites without logos, or one with illustrations in it, and the site's logo. We could probably do something ...
This question claims that no one had edited that question. But, that question was edited three times. Why it is happening? Those edits are available in activity. Although, edited by ..... isn't sho...
I never thought of it. Recently, I was going to write a comment (Starting a new thread) with 14 characters. I didn't look at character lengths. After completing my comment I just pressed tab twice ...
When I was writing the post. My title was too short for post that. But, I was thinking why button is disabled. Since, I had worked on disabling button that's why I knew my post's title was too shor...
On a different set of Q&A sites, my usual entrance point was/is a page that shows questions from across the network on a single page. It does so in three ways: "Hot questions", meaning ques...
In the view for one of my suggested edits, the comparison between the revisions pulls the wrong revision for that which the edit was based on. I edited revision 1, but the comparison compares my ed...
We installed QPixel and when going to Tags we receive a 500 error: The exact error is: NoMethodError: undefined method `tags' for nil:NilClass The installed version is: Version 6ba3d0ad (...
On the site, table content is often jammed all together in the first column, where the next column is happily spread out. I have made some of my tables extremely terse to accommodate. This is from ...
I've noticed that some people copy questions from other sites, then they re-post them on Codidact. Is that really OK? Don't other sites have copyright as well? At the very very least, shouldn't peo...
I saw a banner pointing to the question What does the letter do ৡ in Bangla? from the Languages & Linguistics site. The image shows like this: And currently it is hosted exactly in http...
Right now, if a user tries to click the "edit" button on a post, they get taken to a separate page where they can make changes to it. After the changes are made, the user is redirected back to the ...
When viewing a user's Vote Summary, days that are not expanded give no indication of how many votes occurred each day: Would it be useful to have a plus and minus total in the date bar that stil...
Here you can share user scripts for Codidact! Please use the following format to share. ### Name of the US Small Description Anything else (optional) Supported on: (U.S. manager) U...
Questions previews have been introduced in Codidact, which, with a considerable amount of padding between the elements inside each question "box", decreased the number of visible questions per scre...
I like the new "follow new" feature that allows being notified of any new comment threads on a post. However, I think that using a plus symbol (+) next to it could be confusing, as this is often as...
Please allow a user to permanently delete their account, without the current mechanic of writing an email to the support, writing another email for approval, etc. Please just have a simple button ...
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...
We have a tool for doing bulk imports of questions (and answers) from SE. It has several limitations: Running it requires direct DB access. The resulting data is sometimes wrong in various ways -...
As part of our mission to be a place where communities are fully supported, one of our goals is to make sure our site is accessible for everyone. With that in mind... what can we do better, access...
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 ...
Since a few days, my Firefox add-on Privacy Badger shows me a new tracker originating from analytics.codidact.org. I read the privacy policy and it states that there is analytics going on to improv...
Right now the sites are all hidden away down at the bottom of the site, and the questions are forced to be 50 per page. I would like a way to swap between sites I am logged in on more easily.
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...
Whenever a post is edited, the question is automatically bumped to the top of the category post list. This is useful for major changes to posts because people can see that something has changed. H...
There should be the option to customise the heading in the community-promoted network posts as "Could you answer this question?" isn't always applicable. Example: The post in question is an imag...
I just tried to edit my question on Outdoors (https://outdoors.codidact.com/posts/279707), but the "Edit" button at the bottom of the post is missing. Here is a screen shot: Microsoft Edge W...
Please see point 5 below. Both Codidact and S.E. waste that white space. Why not put the posted date box "posted 3 months ago" in that white space?
Currently I still see comments that I deleted, under a post. But I don't need to.
I'm not referring to accepting just one answer like on Stack Exchange because your question can receive > 1 answer and each answer solves your question synergistically. No one answer solves your...
When I add a comment, the character count is displayed below the text box: However, when I edit it, there is no character count visible: It still seems to check for the character limit(500 ch...
I have published this post in Unix and Linux StackExchange. I want to post it here as well (in Software Development Codidact), because it didn't get answers on U&L SE. I cannot delete my post...
Today there was a request to remove user's account. This user has some Qs which were transported(converted) to System user. But comments are disappeared. Though there is a possibility that user re...
Sometimes the number of posts indicated in the tags list does not match the number of posts displayed for that tag. This appears to be due to the inclusion of deleted posts in the displayed number....
I just noticed that HTML entities (such as ℵ for ℵ or — for —) seem not to be supported in titles. Should they be? Clarification: I'm not asking for general HTML support in t...
