tl;dr According to this post, the div tag is not allowed, thus it's removed from posts. But it's not removed from the preview, and I believe both (the preview and the final saved post) should be c...
I would like a button that lets me log out of Codidact on all devices. This would be helpful if you lost your device, or believed your account to be compromised. Then you could log out on all devi...

Currently, when viewing a post, Codidact will show you the raw votes on a post, with the breakdown into upvotes and downvotes: There's been some feedback that this is a bit too much to show, espec...
This is in response to something that happened on the Math site, but it's really a Codidact-wide issue. A week or two ago, someone posted a poorly written question. Not surprisingly, the question...
Given that a feature request or a bug report is more of a call-to-action to the developers rather than a question seeking an "answer," I am confused as to what an answer to a feature request or bug...
When I click flag there is a menu that shows up showing the reasons, like spam, rude, needs author's attention, etc. But how can I close the menu without refreshing the page? I do not see an 'X' wi...
In 2020, I received a 10-year network ban from Stack Exchange for really really really bad behavior (Some people from Charcoal might know who I am). I know this website has a lot of the same people...
When uploading an image on a Codidact community, users are prompted to add alt text - a text alternative to an image - for that image. If they go to submit a post without doing so, or when submitti...
Is it possible to tag users by their handle. E.g. Oh hey @da5nsy do you have an answer for this question? It doesn't look like it does, because names are not hyperlinked but then I saw @manass...

When you vote on a post, and it later gets edited, should you get a notification? Say you upvoted something because you liked it. But then it got edited and you don't like the new version. You mig...
Many images and screenshots captured today, are larger than 2 MB, the max allowed size on Codidact. This means users will regularly run into a barrier when attempting to upload images to their post...

I have been visiting the site for some time now and I am slowly developing a bit of a problem with the landing page for codidact.com: First of all, there is no indication on that page of whether...
We are a late starter QA site, so we are disadvantaged vs. competitors like Stack Overflow. Namely, a lot of basic questions are already asked and answered there, and people are less likely to orga...
Inspired by the confusion in https://meta.codidact.com/posts/290048 , I'd like to propose a UI enhancement. Using a spinner for this value doesn't make a lot of sense, since the user needs to think...
My Outdoors profile is bugged. I don't have any Abilities awarded—not even Participate—although I have been able to make posts and suggest edits. I finally decided it was actually bugged when I tr...

It's common to hear comments about QA sites being "cluttered", "clogged", "spammed" etc. with types of questions that the commenter doesn't want. What does this actually mean? Is there a definitio...
