Why did we narrow ourselves down to Electrical Engineering? Why didn't we launch a Engineering community like S.E. that's broader? I trust it's self explanatory that Electrical Engineering is a str...
To my pleasant surprise, I saw an ad for Codidact on English S.E.! Why don't we post similar ads on S.E.? !
I might be missing something, but I can't find any way to filter a search by tags. I looked in the Help Center, but it also doesn't list any way to do it. Simply searching the tag doesn't seem to ...
Just now, I was notified that a post was added to one of my questions and coincidentally, the person adding that post was me. Nevertheless, I was notified about that event which seems a bit redunda...
After I asked a question, it was pointed out in the comments that it may possibly be a duplicate of another question. I was inclined to agree and wanted to close it. However, the only option I see[...
The Codidact keyboard shortcuts list (triggered when ? is pressed) looks like this: I wanted to close it, but pressing the same key again didn't work, and it wasn't specified in the popup. I rea...
See also the related question about canceling writing a comment: https://meta.codidact.com/questions/277948 When editing a comment, there is no option to cancel the edit without refreshing the p...
Recently, I saw this community ad: The actual title is 'Caution' and 'cautious' with ʃ or ʒ? The IPA characters seem to be unknown to whatever is rendering the ad, and so they were replaced by q...
When trying to nominate this post for promotion, it didn't work. Clicking the nomination button did nothing. Checking the console, I believe this is likely a client script error rather than a serv...
Isn't the arrow a the upper right corner linking all other communities as a drop down menu superfluous, when we can just scroll down where all the other communities are listed? At least, please ad...
I'm referring to posts for logging interest like https://meta.codidact.com/posts/276997#answer-276997 and https://meta.codidact.com/posts/280161#answer-280161. Once your comment has been added to ...
In the mod tools, we can change the close reasons. This is helpful when a community possibly needs more or less than normal. However, there isn't a way to change the flags, which means that we mig...
Is it acceptable if I "transfer" my questions and answers from StackOverflow and other SE sites to their respective sites on Codidact? I do not want to go back to SE sites, never more in my life, ...
Currently I still see comments that I deleted, under a post. But I don't need to.
Here are five reasons for coloring text. If you're quoting a long text that already uses bolds and italics, then all formatting tools have been exhausted. You can't highlight something. B...
I think there is a bug with a final text numbering not matching the numbering in the preview. I recently posted this answeron meta. When I edit the question the preview of the text displays correc...
If one searches / filters result by a tag (by clicking on one of them) the all items in a list have a badge that indicates current category instead of correct one. For example, when I click on mvv...
I am trying to fix my Fairphone 3, and have run into a problem. I'd like to ask on CoDidact, but I don't know which community is appropriate. Electrical Engineering would seem the logical place, h...
Whenever I post a question it takes a long time for someone to answer it. I do not know if someone is atleast active in the community or not. I know this community is to help each other's problems ...
I am trying to run QPixel on my local computer. I tried all instruction from readme.md, but unfortunately I got some errors. where can i ask about it? On this meta or Software Development or must o...
I can't post images in answers on the Outdoors site, like for example here. When I click on the image button, nothing happens, or a little text pops up above the button too quickly to read. Howev...
Most of the sites are struggling to get questions and while it seems to me at least that more effort has been put into optimizing for the answerers than for the askers. To put it another way, ther...
I suggested an edit to an answer here on Meta, but the banner at the top titled "Posting Tips" is the same as the one that appears when asking a question: The text of the banner starts out by sa...
I wanted to close one of my own meta posts as duplicate, but accidentally pasted the URL to the question I was closing. The site accepted that the post got closed as duplicate to itself. In my opi...
Please see point 5 below. Both Codidact and S.E. waste that white space. Why not put the posted date box "posted 3 months ago" in that white space?
This discussion has been split into the following posts: Enlarge font size for number of answers? Streamline the top? Move Meta to the top row? Align Right "last activity" phrase? Move posted...
Please see point 1 below. The top of S.E. is much sprucer — just the logo. But Codidact has two additional rows — at least merge these rows? Moshi retorted #1 The first row is categories, which...
Please see point 2 below. If we align the "last activity" right, our eyes won't have to zigzag. We just read down the same column. Zerotime asked me to separate my six bullet points. I know "Cod...
I am starting to think about user preferences. This won't happen for a while, but I'd like to gather input so we can start thinking about a functional design. Currently a user has a single account...
So apparently, while writing a new post, there's an auto-save feature where every once in a while the system saves the current progress as a draft. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to manual...
If a question already has 10 answers, less chance I can add anything new. Some people may like to focus on unanswered questions. Let's distinguish between what's relevant and irrelevant with text ...
I don't know if this is status-bydesign, but this looks like a bug to me: Is this intended behavior? Seems a bit weird to me if it is.
I keep learning about the hard work that has been done in Codidact over time. There are many little things that are known by the veterans, but may not be easy to understand for the newcomers like m...
Early for the Codidact sites, it seemed like importing content from SE might be a good way to get a new site going quickly. Now with the clarity of hindsight, we can see that this didn't work. Th...
We have launched two new communities, Music and Physics. As new communities with no data imports, they are blank or nearly-blank canvases now. We'd like to have some content before we advertise t...
When I have 2FA (two-factor authentification) activated, I'm kicked out of my session way more often than if I haven't. That's annoying, because I need to go to my password manager and find my pass...
I just tried to edit my question on Outdoors (https://outdoors.codidact.com/posts/279707), but the "Edit" button at the bottom of the post is missing. Here is a screen shot: Microsoft Edge W...
When you click on the icon to insert an image into a post, you get the popup However, there is no way to type the image name there. The cursor isn't put onto the file name entry line, and just...
There have been some "images don't display in all browsers" problems. This is a test of that. Each image is "Test Image" in magenta/pink letters on a white background. PNG JPG TIF BMP ...
Right now on Outdoors one of the nominated posts is for a contest that has finished, and I would like to be able to remove it from the list but am currently unable to do so. Can we get an option t...
Right now I can only go off memory as to which questions I have nominated for the Community Ads unless I see them in the sidebar or try to renominate them. Can we get a list (not sure if it should...
I made an edit to a post on Software.codidact, and because I don’t have the Ability to edit, it says it’s pending a review. However, I was a bit surprised to see that it was still pending after mor...
While browsing through different sites I notices the 'Lottery' button in the header of the Posts pages. It shows next to 'Activity', 'Age', and 'Score', so it is indeed a way to order the questions...
I was browsing around Judaism.codidact, and I came across the System user. Looking at it’s profile, I noticed that I can see it has some deleted posts, but when I click on them I get a 404. Is this...
After commenting on an answer, the "more" link to the comment from the activity page on the user profile uses both the answer id and the comment id. For example, this link: https://meta.codidact.c...
I was looking for how to search, and it took a bit, because I was looking for a box to click and type. A nice feature would be having a box with placeholder text "Search" (and a way to submit) ins...
A picture is worth a thousand words, but don't put too many words in a picture As you can see, the title of the post is long enough that it extends past the edges of the image.
Seen at https://judaism.codidact.com/posts/279737; it links to https://photography.codidact.com/posts/74994.
It's probably just my Internet connection, but I often find when I'm composing a post that my window freezes for a few moments so that my post can autosave. Sometimes it happens often enough to be ...
