UI Bug: The border of the post title input box is red even when the title is under 151 characters when pasting the title. Animated screen recording
FR: hide posting tips. Rationale: take too much space:
A specific question that was just submitted, doesn't render its body except for when previewing the post during editing. It's not rendered on the question page, not on the comment page, nor is the ...
Below a post the user avatar shows, along with the username and some stats. The username is a link to the user profile page: Note the mouse cursor shows a hand pointing to indicate this is a...
Currently, acting on a notification's item closes the notification menu, which makes it impossible to open all notifications in new tabs without having to reopen the notification menu. The only wa...
I viewed a rejected suggested edit, and then made an edit of my own to the same post. I then viewed the rejected suggested edit again, and noticed that the "before" content (the left hand side) inc...
Generally when making a change in the input text box for a post, the editor preview updates to reflect the change. However, there are two occasions when this is not the case, and the editor preview...
Feature request: Don't move the cursor at the end of the post when an image is being uploaded.
FR: Being able to copy-paste texts and images at once. I.e., selecting some text and images from another source and pasting all that at once into the Codidact editor. E.g. images can be icons/butt...
Since joining I've received eight and two halves (!) copies of the pair of Participate Ability notifications. I don't see why I'm getting spammed? My first thought was that it's per-community, but...
(I'm new and finding my way around. This is mixture of bug report, feature request and perhaps also request for documentation - let me know if you prefer them split?) Since it's quiet, I was addin...
When using the Users search function, sorting by Reputation or Age doesn't seem to have an effect. The order in which users are displayed is unclear - it doesn't seem to be alphabetical, by user ID...

Code blocks in posts have a "Copy" button at the top right, allowing copying all of the code in the block with a click (or a tap on a touchscreen device). I find this very useful, both because it s...
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...
FR: Remove the timer before saving a post when an image in a post has no alt text. Currently, when one saves a post that has an image with no alt text, one gets this message: It looks like yo...
FR: Throw an error message when a user attempts to paste an image over 2 MB Currently, it fails silently and no image is uploaded. I paste via ctrl+V or right-click->paste. I use instance of Br...
What is MathJax? Some Codidact communities have MathJax enabled, which allows displaying mathematical notation within a post. This is not enabled for all communities, partly because displaying it ...
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...
Allow pasting images directly into the editor. I.e., if an image is in the clipboard, ctrl+V would add it into the editor. That'd save a lot of time.
At the top of the user page there is a row of tabs, such as "Profile", "Activity", and "Vote Summary". These are followed by a horizontal blue line which separates them from the content of each tab...
FR: start username autocompletion after typing 1 char after @. Current behavior: username autocompletion starts after typing 3 chars after @, e.g.:
The question How is Temporal.PlainDate.from() constructed? has a body, but it doesn't show. If you look at the history, you will see it. I try to edit, but the body is already there. What happens?
This site runs on the QPixel software, maintained by Codidact. What progress has been made recently? There will be one answer per year. This changelog does not include all bug fixes, but we aim...
On a touchscreen device with an on-screen keyboard (such as a phone or tablet), the input field for a 2FA code brings up a keyboard of letters, requiring switching to numbers[1] before typing in th...
When signing in with two-factor authentication enabled, a code is requested on the next page after entering email and password: The "Code" field is not active (does not contain the text cursor) ...
The "Copy Link" button below a post usually opens a panel that is narrower than the post, but now it is the width of the window. Since it does not start at the very left of the window, this means i...
The title for a specific question page (displayed in the browser tab) shows the community name followed by the question title: This means that only the first word or two of the question title ar...
Putting very long text without spaces in an inline code block in a comment, leads to an overflow, as the block does not wrap nor scroll. Screenshot taken in Safari on iOS:
If a code block contains a line too long to fit in the available horizontal space, the excess to the right is hidden, with a scroll bar to allow seeing the rest (this is a good thing): Raw text: ...
When a notification refers to new comments in a comment thread that I am following, the title of the comment thread is in single quotes, and the title of the post is also in single quotes, making i...
GitHub issue: https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/1577#issue-2958874420 In a Codidact community where I have not yet earned the "Participate Everywhere" ability, I am unable to comment...
I love the new "All Communities" section of the user profile page. I've already found it useful several times. I have an idea for an additional feature: The numbers in the columns could be links. ...
Currently, search results can be sorted by posted date (shown as "Age" in the sorting buttons) but not by edited date / most recent activity: Would you find it useful to have this sorting option...
Main suggested change In a suggested edit page there is a “Return to post” button at the top right. This only makes sense when the previous page was the post. When the previous page was the...
FR: Add an option to import one's Q&A from Stackexchange to Codidact.
I followed the question posting process, and at the end saw that it posted 2 questions: Add an option to import one's Q&A from Stackexchange to Codidact. (mirror) Add an option to import on...
When drafting or editing a post or comment, there is a character count at the bottom right of the text input field, showing the current number of characters and one of the character limits (the min...
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...
Trichoplax points out that on Mathematics, having MathJax available on list pages is desirable, but for Software Development, it occasionally leads to hijinks. What should be done?
Posts have a warning when an HTML tag is used that is not supported: Comments do not have a similar warning, but comments also have tags that are not supported. Should comments have a warnin...
When an unsupported HTML tag is used in a post, a message is displayed to warn about this: However, if an unsupported tag is the first item in the post, the message is not displayed:
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...
I was drafting a comment on answer and during that I marked the answer as "works for me": that resulted in the comment draft getting lost. FR: Don't discard the current comment draft when marking ...
FR: Could Codidact provide a data dump (e.g., an archive with all QA, comments, etc.)? Could be hosted on https://archive.org/ if need to save money.
That'd be great if, when editing or creating a new post, ctrl+enter would save it.
I noticed an anomaly when I went to edit a question. The tags in the display mode don't match the tags in the edit mode. I didn't change the tags, that's how they initialized when I opened the ed...
Do Codidact posts support SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) for images and animations? I can't get either the image upload button or inline SVG to work. Is SVG not supported?
In an answer on Software Development there is a layout inconsistency in the metadata below the answer. Usually the user card is to the right of the date posted, licence, and date edited. However, i...
I just noticed that on the user profile page, the "All Communities" tab lists all communities where there is a profile, including deleted profiles. If a non-moderator follows a link to a deleted p...
