Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Search

Advanced Search Options

To further refine your search, you can use additional qualifiers such as score:>0.5. For example, the search score:>=0.5 created:<1y grammar would return only posts mentioning "grammar" that have a score >= 0.5 and were created less than a year ago. Use category:<ID> to restrict your search to one category (the ID is what's shown after /categories/ in the URL).

Further help with searching is available in the help center.

Quick hints: tag:tagname, user:xxx, "exact phrase", post_type:xxx, created:<N{d,w,mo,y}, score:>=0.5

Q&A Bug reports: meta.codidact.com or codidact.org?

I'm assuming you mean forum.codidact.org, rather than just codidact.org? The former is a discussion forum; the latter is just a static site with nowhere that you could report anything. If that's t...

Q&A Bug reports: meta.codidact.com or codidact.org?

If you know that an issue is specific to our network and not the code, please use Meta. This could include things like editing the help or changing configuration settings. If you don't know (that...

Q&A More social media/online communities to link to profile.

I agree that this seems like a low-priority feature. It would certainly fall into the category of potentially nice to have, but it's not something that seems like a deal-breaker for anyone. As alre...

Q&A Can we have second-factor sign-in authentication via e-mailed one-time codes?

Please make sure that such a feature is optional, and not the default when you create your account. Personally I find such extra security a pain in the butt and annoying. This isn't Fort Knox or ...

Q&A Signing in should sign you in on all sites

Q&A Network-wide sign in created accounts for me on all sites even though I had no accounts there beforehand

A few day ago, @aCVn proposed that there should be a network-wide sign in to avoid signing in into each sub-site individually. I upvoted the proposal because I like the idea. As of yesterday (19.06...
