Should clicking on the question body preview in the question list take you to the question page, in the same way as clicking on the question title does? I personally would find this more convenien...

Try to create a new comment thread under a post by adding a title but no comment. The “Create thread” button is active, but clicking on it does not work because a comment is required. On desktop a ...
When hovering over the upvote and downvote counts next to a post, the score of the post is displayed, which is helpful: However, the score is also displayed when hovering over the upvote and dow...
The "Sign Up" and "Sign In" buttons at the top right of the page (when not signed in) have a different mouse cursor when hovered over. The mouse cursor changes to a pointing hand and the style of t...
Generally when making a change in the input text box for a post, the editor preview updates to reflect the change. However, there are two occasions when this is not the case, and the editor preview...
Currently, we can search for posts by a particular user by including user:unique_user_number, where the unique user number can be found from the user's profile URL. Would you find it useful to be ...
I would like to be able to set a filter on tags with "OR" logic. My goal is to quickly filter to all the tags I may have knowledge to answer. But since the tags use "AND" logic, if I put in all the...
Here on Meta, if I edit my preferences to set a favorite tag, the tag is highlighted in yellow like this: However, on Proposals, it's not working. Here's the setting (I picked a tag at random t...

The current Terms of Service contain (emphasis mine): post content that is hateful, discriminatory, harmful, illegal, or otherwise objectionable; I find this part, pun intended, objectionable...
I have some questions. Actually, I learned from SE, that "separate questions or, do not ask multiple questions in one", which is why I am not adding multiple questions at once. But, if we can ask m...
First of all sorry I am completely new to Codidact that's why this question may not be good. I was actually an active user on SE/SO/Unix SE. I was reading lot of Monica's questions and answers. I w...
Codidact uses the open source Qpixel, which is also maintained by CD admins. Sometimes it is mentioned in passing that the devs are open to and interested in help with developing this codebase. I'...
Seems like the main option for real time chat related to Codidact is Discord. Were there any other alternatives considered? Why was Discord chosen? There are older, more established options for r...
As I explained in this post and some community staff confirmed, Codidact is almost a miniature version of SE. In fact, I see no radical difference between them. As we know, almost all (in my opini...
Can you please add a flag reason for "AI/LLM content"? I occasionally see people try to make some posts where they clearly just plug the question into ChatGPT and copy/pasted the response into the...
I made some questions and/or answers which I later learned were apparently preposterous and were downvoted, so I deleted them. As their author, I should be able to view them so long as I have a dir...
This suggested edit on a math.codidact.com question appears to only add some tags. However, I had to open and compare the current status of the question to figure that out, because it shows the ent...
Why is there no written chat here where one can post without having to worry about deletions and downvoting? SE has a very good one where I have written a very lot on. Why can't we discuss a subjec...
Add support for AsciiDoc syntax. I find their syntax very intuitive and enjoyable. For example, numbered lists start with just a period; bulleted, a star. Nested lists don't use whitespace. Links ...
Some background: A discussion about deleting/preserving comments and giving user feedback popped up on Software Development meta here: How are we supposed to give feedback for poor questions if su...
I wrote a post without realizing I was using the default licence CC BY-SA instead of the licence I wanted to use (CC0). I wanted to amend my mistake; I wasn't able to. Other similar (but closed sou...
When I read through https://codidact.org/ I get the impression that the focus is on helping people get their questions answered. There are obviously other benefits, like providing a platform for pe...
(I realize that this proposal might ruffle some feathers. Please read through it in full before knee-jerk voting. Also, I use "anonymous" in the proposal text for simplicity, but it would really be...
I just had to go into my account preferences and turn autosave off again because it somehow had been reset to on. I know that I went through all Codidact communities a while back (maybe a month or...
I have been testing the Codidactyl Tour and it looks pretty promising, congratulations on the idea and its implementation. In comments to its announcement I see references about the problems with ...
When starting a new comment thread, the "Create thread" button is disabled until the content of the "Your comment" text box has at least 15 characters. This character count includes leading and tra...
On a different set of Q&A sites, my usual entrance point was/is a page that shows questions from across the network on a single page. It does so in three ways: "Hot questions", meaning ques...
We installed QPixel and when going to Tags we receive a 500 error: The exact error is: NoMethodError: undefined method `tags' for nil:NilClass The installed version is: Version 6ba3d0ad (...
In the view for one of my suggested edits, the comparison between the revisions pulls the wrong revision for that which the edit was based on. I edited revision 1, but the comparison compares my ed...
Currently, this site and Outdoors have discord servers set up for chatting, supposedly Writing has one as well but I haven't been able to find it. It would be nice to have a link to those servers ...
While the current notification system is okay, I'd like to be able to receive email notifications for things such as a new answer to my questions. (Of course, this should be opt-in. Maybe add a che...
On the Help Center page "How to ask a great question" (This link points to the Codidact Meta version, but this question talks about all the versions of this page in all other communities, too) Und...
This Help page lists some site policies. What governance system is in place to come to decisions about what the site policies are? This picture displays an organisation structure. It does not...
How do you see a user's activity across all Codidact communities? First and foremost, the goal is to have an overview of my own activity, but it would also be beneficial to view the cross-communit...
I'm looking for specific information in the Help Center. (In this case, I want to learn more about comments, but I don't think there's an article for them just yet.) One useful tool on many help pa...
Sometimes I will compose a lengthy post, submit it, see it in context and immediately notice a typo - no matter how careful I thought I was being. I'm not sure it's desirable that, when I go to fi...
I was on the Software Dev CD tag page, clicking through the pages of the "Hierarchy" sort. I wanted to see if there were git-* tags that are not nested under the git tag.[1] Surprisingly, I discov...
I just managed to flag the same post for spam twice. I flagged it, then commented on it, then flagged it again. There are now two separate spam flags on it in my flag history. This is potentiall...
Where to find information about the abilities, is currently a bit confusing. There are too many pages. The help page for abilities, as well as the dashboard, present pretty much the exact same inf...
Where? On the page "/abilities/everyone" (Link to Codidact Meta version) What? Under "What does this ability allow me to do?" subheading, first line. Erroneous part bolded for sake of this post....
The button layout on mobile browser is ... unusual. Is this by design?
If a post has a lot of comments, the last ones are hidden behind a "Show more comments" link. For some reason, even though I know it's there, I really have to think about it each time. "I thought I...
On the site, table content is often jammed all together in the first column, where the next column is happily spread out. I have made some of my tables extremely terse to accommodate. This is from ...
What? Attached below is a self-explanatory GIF of the bug. The cross button, instead of removing all the tags, just shifts the focus to the input box. Where? New question page (Link to Codi...
Attached below is a self-explanatory GIF of the Edit post page, although the issue exists on the Ask Question page too (please ignore the black bar on the left): When the tag dropdown opens, scr...
I just noticed that the account I created for the subdomain forum.codidact.com doesn't work for the rest of the community websites. Given that, I had to create a new account. Is this supposed to ...
