When a post has been deleted, it shows a notice explaining its situation: This notice says: Users with the Curate privilege may vote to undelete (emphasis mine) However, the button below ...
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...
On the Abilities page clicking on the name of an ability takes you to the specific ability page. However, clicking on the row of the table anywhere other than the name of the ability just highlight...
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...
If comment threads below a post are already expanded, then the input box that appears after pressing the "Start new comment thread" button is too far down the page to be visible. This makes it look...
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...
Code blocks have a maximum height, after which any extra content scrolls vertically. This can make it tricky to copy the code for testing or adjusting when answering a question, or assessing an ans...
When searching the Tags section, a search string that gives no results gives an empty results section, rather than a message saying there were no results. This makes it unclear whether there is a p...
At the top of the page there are sections for the community's Categories, which are displayed as tabs that can be switched between. For example, here on Meta Codidact there are "Q&A", "Site Pro...
In search results the title is shown followed by a preview of the post, consisting of the first few lines. I would find it more useful to see the section of the post that contains the search term,...
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) ...
From the Review Suggested Edit page there is a button to "Return to post" which links back to the post on which the edit is being suggested: This makes sense, as one of the places a reviewer may...
In the edit history for a post, the initial version is labelled "Initial revision" even though it is not a revision. What would make more sense here? Initial post? Initial version? Initial wor...
There is a Posts page showing all the posts by a given user. However, the only place it is linked to appears to be the bottom of the long list of posts on the user profile. An example of when this...
Above the drop down list for license when making a new post, it mentions "site default". As people use the word "site" to mean different things, this could be ambiguous, particularly for a new user...
At the top of the posts page, the total number of posts shows. At the top of the search results page, there is not a total number of results. I would find the total number useful on the search res...
The drop down list of options for "Default license" in the "Community Preferences" section of the "Preferences" tab on the user profile page does not appear to have the option of returning to blank...
GitHub issue: https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/544 In the past, it was not possible to flag individual comments for moderator attention. There was a Meta question asking how to respond ...
I have a few suggestions of how the pane on the right hand side of the user Profile page might be improved. I'd like your thoughts on which changes would be useful. Wording changes The 2 images b...
Often times a user wants to quote something or several things that appear in an answer (each quote could be about 500 characters long). It can be somewhat frustrating to make several threaded comm...
After clicking on the title of a threaded discussion, a user can read up to five threaded comments; if a user wants to read more, clicking "see the whole thread" is needed. I think 5 is too litt...
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...
Update: The reputation number in the header has been added back again for the time being, until we have found a suitable solution. This is just a quick heads up, that you are, indeed, not crazy ...
No offense! I want to make Codidact better and friendlier than SE! I don't know why — I don't design website or user experience — but SE's websites looks better and makes my eyes and eyesight easie...
When logging in with a password, there is an option to remain logged in. However, when using the QR code to login on mobile, this option isn't available, making logging in with the QR code more cum...
Should the post title come before the body? When starting a new post, the first thing that comes to my mind is the topic of the post. In that case I usually first jot down a draft title and then st...
