Background One may edit their profile and add information about their website, Twitter and Discord profiles. Issue But I also noticed that entering just the word "test" in the website field does...
My answers would be that: It's okay to ask here even if the answer is readily available elsewhere There is no minimum level of research, beyond ensuring it's clear what's being asked It is not...
Your three pillars seem like a good way to describe three orthogonal aspects of question quality. However, you have devalued your own "question" here by introducing personal values onto your three...
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...
coupling permissions with specific experience in the area of the permission is a good idea and should be kept as the basic premise of the permission system. I disagree. This is the basic flaw of ...
In a post a <details> tag can be used to hide information until a user chooses to click on it, useful for spoilers or puzzle solutions. For example, the following raw text: <details> ...
Expandable and collapsible text sections, created using the details HTML tag, are insufficiently stylized. This causes the browser to apply its own rules, for instance showing the default text "det...
I can imagine the following uses for hidden <details> sections in comment threads. Some of these uses will apply to some types of Codidact community, and other uses will apply to other types....
Leaving my personal judgement of Amazon apart, I would nonetheless remove the links as the prices are what is substantial to the answer, not the exact products in sale. If you remove the links...
I don't know whether I like the following idea better or worse than the current approach with a tag for each proposed community, but I agree we could benefit from discussion of new ideas, so here's...
How do I start a confidential chat room with moderators? Do I request moderators to start one here? I specifically want something similar to a chat room with good accessibility, not e-mails. I tr...
I think that deleted posts should not get edits suggested to because deletion implies that the post is unrecoverable. The software should not allow to suggest such an edit or in the unfortunate (bu...
At last we are getting to addressing the elephant in the room head-on. Lundin and Olin's answers both capture ideas that I feel are very important, that apply to varying extents across Codidact. I'...
I have asked this question in in CD LL; although it is about linguistics, it also significantly deals with software development (databases organization). If I would just link to it from a session ...
There is nothing broken here, and nothing to fix or change. Anyone can make a typo, forget to finish the title, or delete a piece of it by accident. That wasn't the problem. The real problem was...
I suggested some changes to the vote counts on the front page here, and was invited to post them on general meta. Basically, I think the red/green meter is a great indicator for question quality, ...
Maybe I am the one who got downvotes (talking about the CD Meta) rather than anyone else. So do I have some idea what a downvote represents? Even sometimes I ignore the person who had downvoted (bu...
What is preventing staff from using a second account, potentially using an anonymous alias? If they want to only express their personal opinions, then simply register a second account, without the ...
I think that questions should be able to stand on their own without the use of tags, and so tags should be unnecessary to display at all. Not to say they have no use - it's helpful if you want to k...
I have been informed of the following bug. I am using iPad Safari browser. When I add an image to a post, the system only says "uploading, please wait ...". After waiting for a long time, the image...
[status-completed] gets added once the code has been written, reviewed, and merged - i.e. is ready to deploy. Once [status-completed] has been added to a post, you can assume it'll be deployed in t...
Now that we are getting some activity on the EE site, I'm discovering features I used more than I realized on SE. On SE, you could go to your activity > reputation and see all the recent votes y...
It seems to me that the real problem is a new blank edit box appearing after having just posted a comment. This just invites abuse of comments. If you had to click "Add a comment" again, the leng...
Meta should have a dedicated category for bug reports, to increase the chance that users will pile onto an existing bug report rather than create new ones. Even people who can't be bothered to sear...
