Consider the following screenshot from the middle of a longer comment thread: So which text was written by Monica Cellio, the one above or the one below the attribution line? There is no visual ...
I agree that's pretty unclear in threads that are longer than fit in the view. Thanks for raising this. I don't know what's possible with the current design framework (I'm not very good at front-...
The general policy on spam accounts with advertisements stored in their user profile (and no account activity) was already discussed here. I´m looking at an account whose current advertisement met...
In the diff for tags (as seen in a suggested edit, or in the edit history), the tags before editing are shown on the left, and the tags after editing are shown on the right. However, unlike the tex...
This is a link to my user page. The URL is: https://meta.codidact.com/users/53890 This is a link to your user page. The URL is: https://meta.codidact.com/users/me Note that the URL ends wit...
After making an edit that only adds tags, some redundant markdown is added to the beginning of the body of the post. This does not show up in the rendered post but it gives an inaccurate edit histo...
In the Q&A category of Meta a tag search for "proposal" shows 4 results, but a tag search for "proposal " (with a trailing space, as is commonly automatically inserted when typing on mobile) sh...
Motivation On Stack Exchange (SE) I could have a really hard time following a discussion in comments between multiple users if one of the users deleted their account or changed their username. He...
When this was initially proposed some years ago, I was very clearly opposed because I did not see much use in such a feature. Having, however, now used Mastodon as my main social platform for almos...
If I am on some web page (such as on Codidact), and want to check out some detail elsewhere on the web, my usual first step is to press Ctrl+N to open a new browser window, then navigate to do what...
As a moderator on EE, I'd like to be able to grant abilities to specific users. Personally, I think the system is way too restrictive with the edit ability. If someone abuses it, there will be co...
I just had to reply to a staff member in a comment about some potentially "illegal" HTML code that can be entered in a post. I had to edit the comment about a dozen times because the code I entere...
This makes sense. The search-results page isn't "in" a category (same as the list of users, help, and some other pages aren't), so we'll need to add something to choose what category to create the...
Can we add a global search page to Codidact? This would simply apply the search query site-wide. This feature is useful when you're not sure which section has the question you want. Yes, you can ...
After searching for a question, if I don't find it, I often want to ask a new one. But the search page doesn't have any way of doing that, from what I can see. Could the ask questions button be a...
Thank you for this suggestion. I agree that this is a gap we should address. We're currently working on improvements to moderator tools that include letting moderators initiate private discussion...
Switch off animation until a decision is made I've posted an answer listing possible options which can be discussed over time, but I recommend that in the meantime animation is suppressed complete...
Is it possible to tag users by their handle. E.g. Oh hey @da5nsy do you have an answer for this question? It doesn't look like it does, because names are not hyperlinked but then I saw @manass...
I knew that blank lines are needed in certain places when mixing HTML markup with Markdown so that the Markdown will actually be processed. For example: <details> <summary> Gory deta...
Following up on Markup documentation? and What html tags can we use in posts?: I see that the site supports <section> tags in posts, and that these can have a class attribute. Recently I sa...
Can I follow/subscribe to a question so that I'm notified when it has new answers? It looks like a can subscribe to new comments using the "Follow new" button below a post, but I'm more interested...
Right now, if a user tries to click the "edit" button on a post, they get taken to a separate page where they can make changes to it. After the changes are made, the user is redirected back to the ...
While reviewing older bugs we discovered that this problem no longer exists. I'm sorry we didn't catch this at the time; I don't know if someone fixed it but we failed to update here, or if it was...
When viewing a user's Vote Summary, days that are not expanded give no indication of how many votes occurred each day: Would it be useful to have a plus and minus total in the date bar that stil...
