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 Get a [faq] tag, mods!

I started to write this as a comment in response to @Canina's answer, but realized it's a different proposal on it's own. Bit of brainstorming: A FAQ is not necessarily some help page with everyth...

Q&A Lost Reputation

Apparently there was a bug in the rep recalc script. Still not entirely sure why, but I've solved it and re-run the script. Rep counts should be correct now.

Q&A Show more threaded comments after clicking the title of a threaded discussion

I agree that showing just the first five comments is a little on the low end in many cases. I don't think blindly increasing this to "the first ten", or to "all", is the correct solution, however....

Q&A Can we please stop linkifying random strings that happen to look like domain names?

I agree. This is a great example of over-reaching with trying to be "helpful" automatically. Only links explicitly declared so by the author should be shown as links. The site otherwise has no b...

Q&A Should it be possible to "react" to one's own posts?

Good question. A reaction doesn't bestow benefits (reputation, progress toward abilities, or preferential placement on the page), so in one sense reacting to your own post is harmless. On the oth...

Q&A How to deal with reactor if the reactor is no more or he thinks the post is still bad?

Maybe reactions on earlier versions to the post should be marked as such, with a way to see the version they referred to. Also, maybe it is a good idea to have for each reaction also the opposite ...
