With the re-tagging of the site proposal, new tags were introduced. I didn't know the meaning of those, so I hovered over them to see a short description just as I was / am used to doing in the Sta...
As explained in the Recent feature changes to the Codidact software, in December 2020 we got: Added community switcher (right side of the top bar). It works very well and it is very useful. C...
I was browsing around Judaism.codidact, and I came across the System user. Looking at it’s profile, I noticed that I can see it has some deleted posts, but when I click on them I get a 404. Is this...
It would be nice if you could make the Current Password field required client side for Account changes. At the moment, it just has a description/label, and fails validation server-side if not ente...
Your edit is to a post on Software Meta, but you're looking at the queue for Software Q&A. If you look at the edit queue for Meta, you'll find it's in there.
You seem to have run afoul of one of our system blocks. This particular system is usually engaged by a pattern of poor behavior across multiple accounts. While I can't detail exactly how this syst...
I was surprised to find that ordinary user privileges allow me to close my own posts unilaterally. It does seem useful; just now I posted something on Linux Systems and realized it needed some fixe...
On any page of the Codidact network, one can click on the top-right dropdown button to, well, reveal a dropdown. This dropdown includes a button to sign out and a list of communities. Scrolling d...
Related: Incubator (takes all questions that aren't ontopic anywhere else) community We currently use posts in the Site Proposals category to organize proposals for new communities on our networ...
On EE.CO we have some tags that are utterly useless, but people keep on using them, for example voltage. For non-experts: voltage is one of the main physical quantity used to describe the behavior...
This has been fixed, thank you. I've restored it to the version last updated on March 9th, 2023, according to my local files from when we were making changes at the time. (Although since it only we...
As a general rule: yes, for personal use there's no issue with that. Caveats: First & foremost, this is a general rule - if we discover requests or usage that looks like a problem we'll want...
Here's the list of supported tags and attributes, pulled straight from the current code: self.tags = %w[a p span b i em strong hr h1 h2 h3 h4 h5 h6 blockquote img strike del code p...
You can. On the user's profile, click "Moderator tools" and then choose "privileges" from there. (I'm sorry about the unclear name there.) This takes you to a page where you can grant or suspe...
I would like a button that lets me log out of Codidact on all devices. This would be helpful if you lost your device, or believed your account to be compromised. Then you could log out on all devi...
For the reasons you already alluded to, rendering -- as em-dash by default is dangerous, see discussions on a Similarly Engineered site. This is particularly true in question titles since they don'...
Prevent zero only I'm comfortable with preventing users from posting zero character comments and posts. I agree there are times when insisting on 15 characters is unhelpful. For comments, I se...
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)?
If you are already hosting a Single Sign On Identity Provider (IDP) which is linked to your Active Directory, then yes this is possible. You can follow the instructions at https://github.com/codid...
That could get noisy if it were the default behavior. But maybe we should consider, instead, an option where you can choose to be notified of new activity on a specific post. We already have an o...
I'm a bit hesitant to write this since it's not generally a good idea to walk into a host's house and immediately criticize the way it's laid out. But there really is only one chance to make first ...
Welcome to Codidact! This option refers to large-scale data imports that we performed on a couple communities - such as Writing and Outdoors - when we first started in 2019. However, we soon disco...
4. Does (or should) the policy depend on which community (i.e. which subsite of codidact.com) the post belongs to? Yes. Different communities, although using the same software, can and will h...
There are things I like here, but I don't think all of it will work. I like the following: Welcoming specific questions rather than only general questions. Including hints at more general solu...
