When posting my last question here, I noticed that I can't directly input Unicode characters in the text box due to a keyboard shortcut. For many Linux application (in particular, the web browsers...
Basically the title. In category feeds containing Articles (e.g. Meta Blog or the Code Golf Sandbox), Articles don't have the "posted <time> ago by <user>" as with Q&A posts.
I got the two best ranked questions in Software Development Codidact and searched their titles verbatim in Google, Does the location of an import statement affect performance in Python? How sho...
A bit over a year ago, I proposed to add a “reactions” like feature on Codidact, which would allow marking answers as “accepted”, “outdated” or “dangerous”, providing more detailed feedback to user...
If I want to edit a threaded comment (including a threaded reply) I get, in my desktop computer, a tiny window in which it can be frustrating to navigate, especially if the content reaches the curr...
I am wondering if we can have a minimal data explorer for Codidact communities: mirror the publicly available tables/columns in a separate database (can be done once per day to minimize the impa...
A Global profile page, that shows data and statics of the user across all the communities that they participated in, either to the user only, or publicly according to some privacy setting. Feature...
The title pretty much sums it up. It looks to me as though deleted answers are visible to anyone who isn't logged in, but they aren't visible once you're logged in (at least as a user without the ...
While checking Codidact Meta tags, I saw this <i>test</i> tag . The tag doesn't have usage information or detailed wiki. Likely, it is made for testing purposes or made accidently and I...
In the past and more recently, there's been an issue of many negatively received posts being posted, leading to the front page being primarily negative. This is, of course, rather bad for image. C...
A complaint we've heard a lot is that when a community's front page has many questions that are not well-received, it deters visitors. (It also deters some people who are already here, I know.) T...
Quoting parts of questions in answers is a problem because it prevents the legitimacy of a question's OP to try to improve a bad question in case community members think the question is bad by heav...
Is there any way to adjust the Styling in user profiles. I struggle to see the hairline borders for edit entry areas before they are selected and also prefer to to have less vertical white space b...
This edit consists mostly of small corrections on punctuation and typos. Currently, the edit diff view highlights the whole paragraph in which a change was made in green/red background, and uses bo...
It can be tempting for askers to put more than one question in a post because it has the illusion of saving time, at least for the poster and maybe also for community members. You might want to co...
In SE there's an option to mark answer as correct. While it isn't available in Codidact. In Codidact there's a tag status-completed. But, I don't think this will be very helpful for Software Codida...
I noticed that there are now suddenly two permalink-target links in comments. From a question page (on a comment posted by another user): From a comment thread page (this particular comment hap...
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...
I tried to delete a question without answers after a user has deleted his answer to the post but I got the following error: This post cannot be deleted because it has responses. I flagged and...
I am leaving CD by giving my last idea to it. Some user will downvote this question just to take revenge (I don't know who they are). But, I believe I got some hostility here. Last message to my h...
I was reading some comments in answers. I didn't read question. But, I started reading the answer (That question wasn't understandable for me so I just ignored that but later understood). Then, vis...
I was reviewing some post in SE about bumping post which is related to this question. I got a point of his question. Read the question, the user was doing annoying edits to his post only to bump hi...
When you try to vote and are not logged in, you get an error popup with a 403 like this: However, when you click "react" under a post without being logged in, it seems to error silently instead ...
By some odd mistake I wrote only about half a title to a post in Scientific Speculation yesterday: Post itself: https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/posts/283763 Post history: https://sc...
Videogames Codidact is taking it's time to form an audience and I'd like to talk about something regarding it. There has been discussion in chat if Game Development should leave Videogames CD at s...
I'm wondering how the site header colors are picked for the different sites. For example, Photography & Video and Mathematics are both purple; Judaism and Music are both yellow or light brown; ...
When using the search feature in the Tags part of each category, if one searches for something that is an exact match for just one single tag, the page returned lists just that one tag. To get to t...
Encouraged to write about it by the thread. I remember correctly, when I joined Codidact 8-9 months ago I was searching about Codidact in search engine. What is Codidact? When it was launched? And...
I'm starting to see the first signs of the inevitable "homework dumps" on Software Development as the site is gaining traffic a bit. The criteria for a homework dump is roughly: A raw copy/paste...
As you can see I joined 4 hours ago. But, I recently get some notification where I am getting that it sent 10 hours ago. This is obviously a bug. I think something wrong is happening with timing....
I was looking at site proposals. I noticed lot of people including me were proposing for a site where we can ask any OS(Linux, Windows) related question. But, currently there's no site in Codidact ...
Hi Monica! You cross posted the same question on many Meta's? Or just post here? Anyhow I don't know where answer. Here I respond your crucial questions now. My question to you is: where do we ...
Not sure exactly when but for some time I don't see r in a user's card. From what I can tell it happens only on Meta and, for example, on SD it is still visible. An additional context: Heads up: s...
For some reason, Cloudflare has apparently decided that my browser is untrustworthy as of late, and want to do something to "check" it before allowing me to access Codidact. That's a snag, but wou...
It's possible to view the differences between two adjacent, existing revisions of a post through the History feature. Post owners can, of course, make arbitrary edits to posts, save those, and see...
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...
The purpose of this post is to draw attention to possibly low bus factors and to maybe lead to a more failsafe organization structure by just asking for information. What are the bus factors for t...
What's the limit of flag comment? I was testing by flagging in Dev server. I had flagged a comment using more than 30000 characters. I think it should be limited (maybe, 500 characters)
The team has made some improvements to search, including the following new options (taken from the search help): filtering by user If you want to search for posts written by a particular user...
I cannot paste some HTML-CSS-PHP code which I have tried and would like to ask a question about in CoDidact Software Development. When I publish my question I just get redirected, time and again t...
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...
I suggested some changes to the vote counts on the front page here, and was invited to post them on general meta. Basically, I think the red/green meter is a great indicator for question quality, ...
One of the concerns of How can we grow this community posts (see on Power Users and on Linux Systems) is that the sites may not be active enough, resulting in a poor first impression. If my calcul...
We now have reactions. However, I notice that there seems to be nothing stopping a user from "reacting" to their own posts. For some reactions, this might make sense. For example, an outdated ans...
I was reviewing a post when mistakenly, I flagged the post. I wanted to remove that flag, since I know that moderators would decline it. Since the flag was raised by mistake, it would be great if ...
If https://math.codidact.com/help/search does not explain this, please edit it to. To wit, I am pining to see merely search results from the Main. Here if you search on a main site, the search en...
I was thinking of the reaction system for a long time. A question had came to my mind : If an answer is poorly written (or outdated) and a person had reacted to that as Outdated. Later, when the...
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 ...
If I jump to an answer directly from a notification, I get a box above the answer: You are accessing this answer with a direct link, so it's being shown above all other answers regardless of its...
Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to build an April fools easter egg this year. We'll build one next year, for sure! Therefore, for your own safety: DO NOT try to enter any secret code on ...
