I want to design a network profile (and then possibly implement it). There was already discussion about that in Community dropdown and profile information, Understanding how posts were possibly rec...
We've had several bug reports here on Meta about server 500 errors, and we know that these can deter participation. That's bad at any time but especially when we are trying to grow. We want to do...
This is already being discussed in a comment thread, but I'm bumping it up to an answer for visibility and so it can be voted on. "We may update our terms from time to time without further notic...
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 ...
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...
By default the search also finds answers, and since there are no answers attached to those (you cannot answer an answer, after all), it shows them as well. To get rid of them, specifically ask for...
The service we use to generate user avatars - Unicornify - is temporarily down. I've reached out to the person who runs the site, but he as of yet hasn't gotten back to me. Hopefully this'll be fi...
By definition, if a question is frequently asked, then it's also a duplicate. It seems to me that the proper way to handle frequently-asked questions where each question post aims to be the one pl...
Moderation isn't the only issue, although that's one aspect of it. We don't want to set out to create ghost towns. The point of making sure that there are people who are interested in a proposal b...
Yes, you can. Codidact’s platform is open-source for a reason. Anyone can clone the repositories and use the software however they want, provided that you follow the terms of the license that the ...
Follow the "Contact us" link in the page footer In the footer of (I believe every) page, there is a "Contact us" link. Following that takes you to a page that describes how to report issues, speci...
One of the concerns of How can we grow this community posts (see on Power Users and on Linux Systems) is that the sites may not be active enough, resulting in a poor first impression. If my calcul...
Based on feedback to this answer and other conversations, I propose the following: Allow anybody with the Curate ability to edit the title at any time (this is true today). Allow the crea...
When I move the mouse over the “posted … ago” text below a post, I get a tooltip with the actual posting time. However if I do the same on the last edited field (the one with the pencil at front), ...
This edit consists mostly of small corrections on punctuation and typos. Currently, the edit diff view highlights the whole paragraph in which a change was made in green/red background, and uses bo...
(Personal opinion, not official anything.) I'm one of the people who, from the beginning, wanted to change how we handle reputation, because while Someplace Else got some things right with it, the...
I personally like the idea of knowing how many people have viewed my posts. Even if it's only shown for the person who posted the question
Currently, we're planning to implement a system for user privileges based on Trust Levels. These are of the form of 'if you satisfy [these requirements], you get [these perks]', where [these requir...
It looks to me like the session cookie that holds one's user session credentials is currently bound to the specific site. The result of this is that you need to sign in separately to, say, Scientif...
I was confused by the unusual layout of text below a post in the question list: Note the long gap after "posted 3y ago by". Viewing the individual question page shows the underlying cause: ...
IMHO we need to distinguish two things: It's not really possible per se to prevent for-profit companies from just accessing our web pages and downloading the content from them. We can try to ...
Are you asking about the software platform or operational policies? On accessibility in general: We want our platform to be accessible to as many people as is practical, and we do attempt to addr...
An answer in the Linux Codidact is using the price of solid state drives and hard disks to clarify its point, and does so by linking to these products in Amazon. Leaving my personal judgement of A...
