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...
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'...
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...
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...
I'm not opposed in principle, but I don't think the amount of work is likely worthwhile. I imagine this sets you up for weird bugs far into the future. One person can have any number of email ...
Currently, when a question is closed, it is still possible to add an upvote or downvote. One possible reason for closing a question is to allow editing to improve, before re-opening. Would it be b...
Personal opinion, not speaking for the team: I don't think we need a blanket ban on links, but we should make sure such links are actually necessary when used. Sometimes a link to a product listi...
Seems like the main option for real time chat related to Codidact is Discord. Were there any other alternatives considered? Why was Discord chosen? There are older, more established options for r...
I was asked to spill out what would be my UX changes, so here I go. My personal opinion on UX is in majority about my own discomfort with white background. As person working on computer for 10-12 h...
First off - comments aren't the proper place for feature requests such as increasing the size of the comment box. For a feature request, please ask a new question. Secondly, your comments were dele...
I disagree that this would be desirable. First, unless we want people to focus on the user, instead of the content, who posts something should have little or no bearing on anything. Act on whether ...
Sometimes when stumbling across a question I wonder if I should upvote / downvote or not. When this happened on SE sites, I hovered over the buttons and read the description. Currently, Codidact se...
We didn't set out to have a reputation stat, but because we started by adapting code that had it, we started out that way. When we brought up removing it, a few people objected strongly. (See, fo...
I don't know what the etiquette is here for bringing up Stack Exchange, and I don't want anyone thinking I'm trying to start any cross-site drama. In fact, I'm hoping to snuff any such drama out be...
The votes shown on questions / answers are net (positive less negative). Rep is calculated at +5 Question upvote -2 Question downvote +10 Answer upvote -2 Answer downvote === You started at...
I wrote an answer where I needed to say "square meters". I wanted to write this as "m" followed by a superscript "2". I tried writing "m<sup>2</sup>". That worked in the preview, so ...
We have to build awareness through word of mouth. And that's not about Codidact in general, and isn't always even about specific Codidact communities (though it can be). Sometimes tweeting a link...
I proposed the new site Electrical Engineering, and I see that the basic framework has been created. Thanks. However, there is a difference between the basic mechanics of a site, and a fully up-a...
