I clicked on "edit" on a post, and received the following message: Forbidden You have been denied access to this resource because you lack the necessary privileges to access it. Once you gain e...
I have just observed a bug, and I'm not sure what the protocol is. Is bug reporting and tracking done on codidact.org, meta.codidact.com, or both? If both, and I can't find the bug mentioned on eit...
I made that design decision. If it doesn't work we can of course change it, but the reasoning is pretty much what @pnuts said in another answer. On other sites I've seen a lot of bad titles, ones...
I, too, find that the deleted comments get in the way, but I'd propose a simpler structure. We mods and admins don't need to see the entire structure in an overview; we just need to know that ther...
Several months ago when I first took a look upon Codidact project, I saw that it is using ASP.NET Core 3.1 and I said to myself that this is a project that I can contribute to. This frameworks seem...
What's the difference between codidact.org and codidact.com?
I would suggest to flag the post the comment is on and specify in the flag text that you're flagging to draw attention to a comment and which specific comment. Until comments are flaggable in their...
Can we improve the editor? Currently, the textarea is, IMO, too small (even a short post like this one requires some scrolling when editing). For larger posts (like this one) it's even worse. When ...
When a suggested edit review appears for your post, it isn't possible to see what was changed. Someone made an edit to my post here https://software.codidact.com/posts/suggested-edit/86 and the dif...
As noted by @OlinLathrop in a comment: The real question is why some sites artificially cap rep at 1 or 0. Some people can make a net negative contribution. Rep should reflect that. If it were cli...
"gamification" is a bit of a different concept from "fun". Gamification refers to incentivizing participation; we do this currently via reputation (and Abilities to a certain extent). You get poin...
Hover state changes shouldn't cause elements to change size As an example, try using a mouse on desktop to hover over some of the tags in the questions with more than one tag. The change of font ...
I got the two best ranked questions in Software Development Codidact and searched their titles verbatim in Google, Does the location of an import statement affect performance in Python? How sho...
We don't do a whole lot on the email notifications front, really. The only emails we send automatically from the application are account emails, plus any subscriptions you create. Beyond that, we d...
Loving the discussion. As the main person responsible for the design I wanted to share my thinking to help inform some further discussions. The biggest thing for this redesign was to focus on the ...
Emphasize the site name over the network Currently, in the top left corner, where it says meta.codidact.com, while the site name portion ("meta") is in boldface, it's also in a slightly smaller ty...
No, making useless edits just to bump the post isn't something that we want to encourage on Codidact communities. Edits should be to improve the post and that's it. Looking at the reasoning for bu...
I can't find a way to do a platform-wide search (all communities at once). Is there such a feature and I'm missing it?
When I have 2FA (two-factor authentification) activated, I'm kicked out of my session way more often than if I haven't. That's annoying, because I need to go to my password manager and find my pass...
Chicken, meet egg. In many cases, the askers are much less expert than the answerers. The experts are the ones creating this site - not exclusively, but in many cases, and not necessarily academic...
What do I input in search for Site Proposals, to pretermit all questions tagged [status-declined]? I tried -[status-declined] but this didn't work.
When editing an answer, there's sometimes reason to look at the question again (I just had such a case). Therefore I think it would be a good idea if the question would be shown on the page where y...
Over on Software, the [excel] tag was mistakenly put as a subtag of [openoffice-calc]. When I went to edit the tag to fix it, I realized there was no option to remove the parent tag. I ended up ask...
See the history of this post, the reason for closure (closed as duplicate) doesn't appear in it; when I reopened the question the close reason and duplicate target were completely lost since it was...
