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 Tables break words in first column

On the site, table content is often jammed all together in the first column, where the next column is happily spread out. I have made some of my tables extremely terse to accommodate. This is from ...

Q&A What is the difference between the subdomain forum.codidact and the rest of the communities?

As noted in Mithical's answer, the forum was for early bootstrapping, before we had this network up and running. It used .org, not .com, to try to make that distinction a little clearer. After we...

Q&A Display post titles instead of the URL for internal links

A step toward this: if you choose "copy link" on a top-level post, you now have two options, the raw link and a Markdown version. The Markdown version uses the post title as the link text. So it'...

Q&A Should we change the dashboard layout?

Let's not. The community order makes little sense as it is now (based on creation date?), but at least it is fixed. It's arbitrary, but you get used to where things are. It would be even worse i...

Q&A Can I use @Username to notify users from within my question or answer?
