After searching from the search box at the top of each page, you are taken to a search results page. This has the search box with the current search term prepopulated, ready to modify and search ag...
I can link to the edit history of a post, for example, the edit history of the meta question you are reading, but I can't see a way to link to a specific edit in the history. Is there currently an...
In the posts page of each site, the symbols & < > are not rendered as such; Instead they are replaced by their HTML encodings: & < > You can see that in the pr...
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...
The secret text is a string of characters that is embedded into the QR code. All 2FA apps then deserialise this QR code into a URI, which contains the secret text and other information regarding t...
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'm proposing to be able to show tags in posts like writing [tag:status-bydesign] should show status-bydesign [1]. This would make referencing tags in posts easier and nicer. This is a pure...
On the users page, I've noticed that searching for a specific name and then sorting by either "reputation" or "age" doesn't work as expected. Here is a gif that explains better:
When no filters are applied to a post list it shows "Filters (None)". When there are filters applied to a post list it shows "Filters ()". Would it be useful for there to be a 1 line summary of t...
As the list of communities gets longer, it becomes more difficult to find any particular one in the various places they are listed. Sorting Would it be helpful to have sorting buttons, similar to...
Searching for votes:-8 does not give results with net votes -8. Instead it returns all posts, regardless of votes. Upvotes and downvotes break in exactly the same way for negative numbers, but for...
From the search help: You can use m for minute, h for hour, d for day, w for week, mo for month, and y for year. It seems likely that users would want to use months more often than minutes in...
Searching for post_type:3 (PolicyDoc) gives no results. Similarly for post_type:4 (HelpDoc). Should these post types be excluded from the options presented when the user types post_type:, or shoul...
Searching for post_type:2 (answer) and a tag gives no results, as answers do not have tags. Intuitively, I would expect this to return results which are answers to a question with that tag. Is ...
After suggesting an edit to a post, it is displayed differently to indicate that the edit is pending. This difference is in 2 places. The top of the post shows a message in a box: Below the pos...
When searching, not only questions but also answers come up in the results. However, the information on it is mixed between the question that the answer is on and the answer itself: Title: Que...
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...
Several discussions have touched on the idea of being able to filter the contents of the post list. Whether your goal is to find unanswered questions, hide closed questions, hide ignored tags, or ...
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,...
Previously, clicking on the icon for Notifications or Communities at the top right of the page resulted in the appropriate drop down panel appearing. Today, the panel only opens if the square area ...
Clicking on the notification icon: Doesn't do anything. I noticed this just now. It's probably been a month or more since the last time I had a notification. Back then it worked as expected (...
When a Notification is selected for a comment that's on the current page, the service automatically forwards the user to the location of the comment — but it doesn't automatically close the notific...
Now having a dot next to the "Edits" button to indicate pending edits brings up a new issue. It seems everyone is notified of all pending edits, whether they have the ability to approve them or no...

Love all the work that's being put into this! I would love to translate Codidact's software (QPixel) to another language so that it's accessible to more people who want to deploy their communities...

What should be the behaviour when a user posts a reply to a comment in a thread on a post, and then deletes the post? For example, the post may be a question which requires editing before it will b...

Immediately after the activity entry about posting a question or answer, another entry labeled "Initial revision" is placed. This seems kind of redundant to me, since all it really says is that a p...
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...
When an edit is made to a Blog post, the new activity indicator circle appears on the Blog tab: This is useful when there is a new Blog post, but less useful when there is a minor typo fixed. W...
I have a question regarding clarifications on what does and doesn't constitute "price fixing" (in the US), and, while I read the FTC definitions, there're some areas I wanted to ask about. Unfortu...
Reaction types can currently be switched on and off for a community (by a moderator) so different communities can have different reactions (including custom reactions). However, each reaction th...
As a user's reputation increases, it takes up more horizontal space on the header bar of each page. On desktop there is plenty of empty space so this makes little difference. However, on a phone sc...
I clicked on "react" on an answer on Codidact Meta and found that the only available reaction is "Outdated", which I don't want to use. There doesn't appear to be any way to close the dialogue box ...
There is a Posts page showing all the posts by a given user. At the top it has sorting buttons: The sorting buttons at the top of the questions list on the front page has more sorting buttons: ...
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...
Looking at the user profile on mobile, I noticed that what could be considered the user summary (the avatar, earned abilities, and statistics like number of posts) is all the way at the bottom of t...

This was already asked on Software, but it makes sense add Codidact level. If I try to provide a parent to a tag, it crashes with 500. Error Id = 6bd06f30-539d-4b88-8743-eca32a8465cd Tag to ed...
