I don't know what the etiquette is here for bringing up Stack Exchange, and I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to start any cross-site drama. In fact, I'm hoping to snuff any such drama out be...
Is it a problem if specific users harvest highly-voted questions on SE, then self answer, to farm a huge amount of rep? And if so, what can we do to prevent it? I haven't seen it happen, but askin...
Does the community have any mechanism to tackle serial (emotional) downvoting?
We should warn people rather than sending notification to them for inappropriate links in profile. I had set a link in my profile long day ago. I usually "bought" that domain (in free). So recently...
Recently, three questions were "imported" from StackOverflow: https://software.codidact.com/q/277934, https://software.codidact.com/q/277930, https://software.codidact.com/q/277932 I put "imported"...
I think a search mechanism that allows filtering by category would be useful. For example, if I want to find a recipe for a specific food or with a specific ingredient on the cooking pages, I could...
In the first comment (by msh210) to this answer, the comment content is intermingled with the text containing the author and age of the comment. A screenshot demonstrating the issue is below.
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...
Can forge https://meta.codidact.com/questions/ and https://software.codidact.com/questions/. There are two problems with that: It won't list anything until clicking any of the Activity | Age | S...
There is reference to "positive reception rate" for posts in the discussion on how to earn some abilities, for example the Vote on Holds ability. What exactly does "positive reception" mean in thi...
Is there a privacy policy for Codidact? As I'm a resident within the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation pretty much dictates how websites have to present their activities around...
Each post on Codidact has a "permalink" link under it, which points back to the post. The general format seems to be http://<site>.codidact.com/<type>/<id>/<id> where the f...
meta.codidact.com is missing a favicon! Is it possible to use the meta logo for its favicon?
I think there might be some sort of point bug. Two days ago, over on Judaism I had 38 points. The next day I was down to 28, leading me to believe that I had gotten multiple down-votes for a post I...
The notifications drop-down shows the question title at least for comments that don't specifically ping you, and for answers to your own questions. However, if you're "mentioned" (pinged) in a com...
Is there a standard or acceptable way to include, link or re-post answers from external sources, such as stack exchange networks, quora or others ?
Why If a question is already answered elsewhere, or the OP doesn't need help/updates relative to it, from the community in which he posted it any more. I think that being able to add a short comm...
Several months ago when I first took a look upon Codidact project, I saw that it is using ASP.NET Core 3.1 and I said to myself that this is a project that I can contribute to. This frameworks seem...
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...
I would prefer to login to the website with a Google account instead of a standalone Codidact account; I might not be the only one. I ask the community managers to consider adding such an option; ...
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...
I was just looking at Reports > Posts in the moderator tools of the Electrical Engineering site: The total numbers of questions, answers, and comments is believable. However, these don't agr...
Is there a way to filter questions of a community that has no answer and/or no accepted answer ? Edit (clarification): by "accepted answer" I mean answer marked with the green "Works for me" tag...
Wanted to make a donation via the donate button but upon click on "Pay" an error message occured: "Your account cannot make live charges. If you are the site owner, please activate your account at ...
I attempted to edit this post, but couldn't because I was attempting to change "moderator-only" tags. The following errors prevented this post from being saved: You don't have permission to chang...
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...
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 ...
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...
I can't find a way to do a platform-wide search (all communities at once). Is there such a feature and I'm missing it?
Okay, I honestly don't know what might be up with this. "Major weirdness here", is about all I can say from the perspective of a user. I proposed an edit to A gratis cloud of icons usable as HTML ...
When I move the mouse over the “posted … ago” text below a post, I get a tooltip with the actual posting time. However if I do the same on the last edited field (the one with the pencil at front), ...
What actually gets a post on the Hot Posts list? Is it views? Votes? Answers? Comments? Most likely a combination of them, but what exactly?
When I go to edit answer/question, I can edit tags, text and title, but not the license. For example, if I mistakenly select a wrong license and, click Save Post in Q&A, how can I edit the l...
This post had been edited by @Lundin. But, there's no visible changes in that post. I don't know what Lundin did to that post. I think Lundin had proposed changes but, author/moderator declined (...

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 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 have recently seen some tags. a and Ask.. That should ask not Ask since all tags are in lower chars. And mod should delete the a tag. I know that we won't allow every people to create tags. But ...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
I accidentally posted my neighbor's answer to my same question twice. Obviously, it's irksome and wasteful to see the two duplicated answers! How can such duplications be lastingly forever removed?
I've stumbled upon links to Codidact questions on answers on SOME subreddits, but because Codidact is still little known and unsung, Redditors balk at clicking links to Codidact. OR other...
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 ...
I started heading into the rabbit-hole of organising tags on the mathematics site, and there are some which are obvious typos and have no questions associated (because the questions have been retag...
In the community preferences you can set a list of favourite tags, and questions that are tagged with one of them will be highlighted. Is there also a way to hide / ignore tags? Questions with a h...
I proposed an edit to a post to add the then-existing proposal tag. The edit was approved, and the post currently shows as most recently edited by me. Both the suggested edit page and the post its...
The latest update includes a few small changes of possible general interest: Moderators can now escalate flags to the admin team. If you have a flag that requires our attention, or if you wan...
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...
