It's been pointed out in a few places that, so long as creating tags is much easier than managing them, we're going to have problems handling typos, duplicates, and tags that otherwise ought not ex...
For an on-premise (or Cloud) hosted instance of Codidact, is there existing functionality that provides Single Sign On (SSO) in conjunction with Active Directory (AD)?
Are there any rules about a user having multiple Codidact accounts (sometimes known as sockpuppet accounts)? What should a user do if they suspect another user has multiple accounts?
Above the drop down list for license when making a new post, it mentions "site default". As people use the word "site" to mean different things, this could be ambiguous, particularly for a new user...
Forthwith after logging in, this error popped up. Please repair?
On the filters tab of the user page, there is a drop down box called "Predefined Filters": On mobile, tapping on the drop down box for the first time after page load results in a pop up selectio...
Seeing the option to list a Twitter profile on one's profile leaves a bad taste in my mouth given recent developments on that site. I don't think it deserves to be promoted above other social medi...
Note: This is not related to the recent code release - I noticed this before that. The panels that appear when clicking on the Notifications or Communities buttons at the top right of the page a...
In the list of posts, or at the bottom of a post, there is an indication of how long ago it was posted. In a desktop environment with a mouse, hovering over this duration gives an exact date and ti...
For a long time I had no content in my user profile, then today I added something to see how it would look. I then changed my mind and decided to go back to having nothing. However, there is a mini...
Very minor bug in case it's worth fixing at the same time as any other change to the keyboard shortcuts: The keyboard shortcuts help box has one space less of indentation for t than for all the ot...

On most pages of Codidact there is a little drop down arrow at the very top right of the page, which usually displays a list of Codidact communities when clicked. However, when on the "Edit" tab of...

Questions previews have been introduced in Codidact, which, with a considerable amount of padding between the elements inside each question "box", decreased the number of visible questions per scre...
Not sure if this is an oversight or a bug, but suspending a privilege doesn't add a log to the "warnings and suspensions sent to user" moderator tool.
I recently left a comment on a post, but now the comment thread ended up with a fragment of (the first version of) my comment as its title, including some ugly markdown rendered literally. I would...
There is a problem with HTML entities in the tag guidance text. As you can see here I used an HTML entity (greek lowercase phi φ) to denote a technical quantity, and it shows nicely: However in...
An ampersand shows as & instead of & in the following question content preview: I've also included an ampersand in the title of this question to test whether the title is also affect...
I've seen many times something like "This is just my personal opinion, not of the team" when administrators such as Monica Cellio respond to posts. In my opinion, this is because of a lack of a way...
Would it be acceptable to create a dummy tag like merge-into-this-for-nuking-another-tag just to ease the usage of the "merge trick" described here to nuke a tag? Of course the usage would spell i...
Motivation I have the feeling (obviously biased ;) that some feature requests get forgotten over time. I absolutely do not claim that it is anyone's fault but that they naturally become less visib...
We currently have a limit of 5 tags per question. Should we keep this the same or would any changes be of benefit? For example: Should the limit be higher or lower? Should there be different ...
It is probably not controversial to say that if you're creating a tag, you should add a description for it. Otherwise, how will anyone else know what you intended the tag to be used for? Unfortuna...
Now having a dot next to the "Edits" button to indicate pending edits brings up a new issue. It seems everyone is notified of all pending edits, whether they have the ability to approve them or no...
Hi I'm a new user and just checking out the website interface, please let me know if this is not the right place to ask this question I have a two part question actually How does joining diff...
At the top of the answers section of a question there are buttons to sort by "Score" or "Active": Clicking on one of these sorts the answers by that criterion, but also moves the view back to th...
On the Tags tab, clicking on a tag in the list follows a link to the specific tag page. However, this only works if you click on the tag itself. The tags in the list each have a snippet of their de...
When adding a tag to a post, beginning to type leads to all matching tags being displayed, avoiding the need to type out tag names by hand. Would it be useful to include this feature in the Pref...
When signing in with two-factor authentication enabled, a code is requested on the next page after entering email and password: However, before the code is entered, a green banner at the top of ...
When a post has been deleted, it shows a notice explaining its situation: This notice says: Users with the Curate privilege may vote to undelete (emphasis mine) However, the button below ...
When using a <details> tag to add an expandable section to a post, markdown will mostly still work inside the expandable section, but some of it will not work on the first line. Markdown trea...
Code blocks have a maximum height, after which any extra content scrolls vertically. This can make it tricky to copy the code for testing or adjusting when answering a question, or assessing an ans...
For a while today, I got DNS resolution failures for collab.codidact.org. Now I'm getting a certificate hostname mismatch error; the certificate presented is for catchall-server-default.s449.sures...
I'm getting used to the UI here where the the title comes after the body when when writing a question. I'm finding it a bit annoying because I write my titles first and I have to scroll down to do...
It is good if users are engaged, but a single engaged user can take over whole communities with their posts. To get a better mix, I propose a rate limit which prevents users with mostly negativl...
The title for a specific question page (displayed in the browser tab) shows the community name followed by the question title: This means that only the first word or two of the question title ar...
Add button to select Meta post destination to site META or Global META at the time of posting. More than one of my posts are probably Global META suggestions but have ended up in Site META because...
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 ...
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...

Clicking on the square with an arrow next to the user profile no longer displays the drop-down menu to show other communities. I talking about this one: If I click on the white area around it, t...
Searching for post_type:3 (PolicyDoc) gives no results. Similarly for post_type:4 (HelpDoc). Should these post types be excluded from the options presented when the user types post_type:, or shoul...
Searching for post_type:2 (answer) and a tag gives no results, as answers do not have tags. Intuitively, I would expect this to return results which are answers to a question with that tag. Is ...
After suggesting an edit to a post, it is displayed differently to indicate that the edit is pending. This difference is in 2 places. The top of the post shows a message in a box: Below the pos...
I like the "Random from Category" and "Specific post" ad templates. I've recently been a "selfish sharer" and used the "Specific post" template to share one of my own questions. This made me wonde...
