It happens to me all the time that I write a comment - as the first of a new thread of comments - and then either overlook giving it a title, or expect that the default title will be good enough an...
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...
Would it be possible to have human-readable profile URLs instead of numbers? e.g. https://meta.codidact.com/users/da5nsy or https://meta.codidact.com/users/@da5nsy rather than https://meta.codid...
This is the filter section above a post list: In a category where I have set a default filter, I can temporarily view the post list using a different filter by selecting it from the "Predefined ...
In a comment thread, I can notify someone by including "@username". I also get notified of replies, even if they do not include my username in this way. What determines who is notified of a comment...
In the Vote Summary tab of the user page, each of a users posts shows how many votes up and down: This shows voting, but does not make clear how this affects reputation. In this example, the fir...
Related: Tracking progress towards the Edit ability The Activity tab of my user profile, filtered to Edits shows 20 helpful suggested edits, and 1 declined. The Edit Posts Ability page sho...
I tried to post an answer with a bulleted list, but it renders without bullets. I can't repro here, but I have submitted multiple edits to the answer above, and none of them allow me to get the po...
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...
As most have noticed, there's been a discussion raised on all the community metas about how to grow that particular community. It's a good question and I do believe they should be answered on commu...
In "Preferences", I found this checkbox, Display import labels Add a Stack Exchange logo marker to imported posts to show that they're imported. but I couldn't figure out yet how to actually...
Can you add the Wilson Score tooltip from posts onto list pages as well? Either on the vote numbers, on the colored bar, or on both?
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...
There is this question, revision 1. It contains several fragments I call "fluff": Opening phrase, greeting: Hello fellow community Cliché: Your help would be greatly appreciated ...
On the page for the Edit Tags ability, it lists a part of the requirement as To earn this ability, you need to have roughly a 97.5% approval rate for suggested edits to either the detailed tag w...
The Edit Tags ability says How do I earn this ability? To earn this ability, you need to have roughly a 97.5% approval rate for suggested edits to either the detailed tag wiki or the usage guid...
When giving feedback (comments, edits, reactions) what is the appropriate tone? In other words, how should you phrase your feedback? Should you assume knowledge of all site rules? Should you a...
It is generally considered good practice to try and do your own research to find the answer to a question before you post it. There are some questions where the asker is just not capable of findin...
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...
How can I tell when a user last logged in? When I go to their profile's "Activity" tab, it shows me only activity on that site. I don't want to cycle through every site one by one. The global doe...
For a QA site to be good, it's important to have high-quality questions. The community is a great resource for guiding askers with the technical tools that CD provides. However, it is helpful for t...
After making an edit that only adds tags, some redundant markdown is added to the beginning of the body of the post. This does not show up in the rendered post but it gives an inaccurate edit histo...
Difference between older images and recent images Following a link to the url of an image uploaded to Codidact redirects to an AWS link for recently uploaded images. For older images, following th...
Forthwith after logging in, this error popped up. Please repair?
If I save filters for the question list, I can use them at a later date, which is very useful. However, they are only available on the device I saved them on. It would be useful to have the saved ...
Meta has vote x 4 and voting x 11. None of them have tag usage guidance. I'm not familiar yet with how tag naming is handled here but it looks clear to me that both tags are too similar and only o...
I invested tremendous resources into producing quality content, and marketing it. Starting from zero to me is excessive. I'd like some way to display my SE progress directly and visibly on my Codi...
After editing my user profile to add a Discord username as part of testing how it works, I am unable to remove the username. Deleting the username and pressing save results in an apparently success...
When you click on "Flag" under a post, you get a dropdown asking "Why does this post require moderator attention?" One of the options is needs author's attention This question is off-topic ...
Shouldn't I be allowed to accept an edit to my own post? Now here I can't, because the suggested edit adds a tag that I am not allowed to add. Other edits are also not possible (because it asks fi...
Currently, the help center has a list of user abilities, with sub-pages for each of the entries, to elaborate on them. The help center should also have an entry for "Participate", the first ability...
Does Codidact have a Submit a Data Access Request form, like SE? How long shall Codidact take?
The GDPR requires (article 20 right to data portability, paragraph 1, in part) that: 1. The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she ha...
It seems almost taken for granted on every Codidact site - even Languages & Linguistics - that questions and answers are supposed to be written in English, although I can't find any official po...
After I clicked "Add Reaction", this error popped up! Codidact failed to add my reaction. Please fix?
On the post edit page, after clicking on the "Save Post in Q&A" button, that button changes color to gray. No page load takes place, and the post does not get submitted.
Why ? It would facilitate some misunderstandings and clarification without the need for a public comment. It would open a path to people being "mentored" in their first 5 question or what amount i...
It seems that permissible features which are voted up considerably will be added to a community. By "permissible" I mean those features which are not rejected by the community team due to some poli...
I just made a comment on another Meta post because I wasn't sure whether something in someone else's answer was a typo, or if so what the correct wording should be. It turned out that my best guess...
As things stand, the options for flagging a question seem rather spartan: Image of flagging dialog We have: two options for actual abusive use of the site software an option for dupli...
A sort of a solution to this problem, but would also apply to posts such as moderator elections, one-off proposals (though status-complete also works), and just generally posts which at some point ...
I am a new user to Codidact that just migrated from StackOverflow and there are some things I would like to get across, besides this website being smaller, but we already knew what we were getting ...
