We don't care about /.../ edit history. I'm going to disagree here, actually. Edits can be substantial in their own right, introducing new content from users other than the original author of the...
Generally speaking, if I find a community where I clash against the norms and maybe even cause damage, my approach is to read documentation and lurk on the site, participating only carefully and in...
Update: We didn't do what I proposed here, but we instead created a wiki post type. See there for details. I wrote a GH ticket based on this suggestion, with the following expansion: We should...
Update You can only close a question when you have 250 rep. Hence, the user experience needs to be improved. My suggestion: hide close button until user has 250 rep. Original question I tried to...
I'm starting to wonder if my earlier bug report was based on a misunderstanding. If it is, though, I think the UI needs to be clarified. Anyway... Just what is expected behavior when the inbox ico...
It is supposed to open the notifications inbox. However, due to a bug, https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/162, this will fail under certain conditions. When this happens, your notifications...
I agree that authors should be able to make an immediate edit to change the license -- you post, only then notice the default license, and can't fix it. That's frustrating. The workaround of dele...
"Copy Link" is on top-level posts for consistency with answers. On an answer the URL takes you straight to that answer, which isn't what would be in your URL bar. (I think the work on the threade...
There's a list of about a dozen colors that are available. The choices are largely arbitrary. We want the logo and color to not clash (those can be determined in either order), and since we don't...
Our team has been exploring some ideas to improve Codidact's design. We've wanted to improve the visual design for a while, and we also have a lot of other usability changes we'd like to make. We...
When posting my last question here, I noticed that I can't directly input Unicode characters in the text box due to a keyboard shortcut. For many Linux application (in particular, the web browsers...
The imported post is CC BY-SA 3.0 because that's how the source (Stack Exchange) licensed it. That notice reports a license. The list of licenses you can choose when posting here is unrelated. T...
Apart from the email question, which as Art said can be controversial, we want to have a better way to notify people who expressed interest when a new community launches. We'd need to write a whol...
This was intentional; we're testing out deemphasizing reputation here on Meta. This was a decision by the Codidact Team. Of course, if it turns out that it's detrimental somehow to not show the re...
I just noticed that HTML entities (such as ℵ for ℵ or — for —) seem not to be supported in titles. Should they be? Clarification: I'm not asking for general HTML support in t...
I'm wondering how the site header colors are picked for the different sites. For example, Photography & Video and Mathematics are both purple; Judaism and Music are both yellow or light brown; ...
If you read the test question. Then, you will see that the answer only have some title of questions. And, your test question is looking like asking questions there rather than showing some test que...
The number 4 on your picture is a link to the Flag History page. You could click on it and see details for those flag that were raised by you. A flag has three states: helpful, declined, pending. ...
I think this is a bug. There is default guidance for answers that is different from that for questions, and a category can override either or both. This category does not override the answer guid...
I just tried to edit my question on Outdoors (https://outdoors.codidact.com/posts/279707), but the "Edit" button at the bottom of the post is missing. Here is a screen shot: Microsoft Edge W...
With a bit of effort, you can even do this: I think the code that shows the notification count draws the notification "container" (the blue circle) once, and then just updates the number from so...
This is an interesting idea. We have help, but only moderators can edit it. We want documentation about the platform (as opposed to how our network or particular communities operate) to end up in...
Elaborating on the thoughts of @PeterCooperJr., it might be sensible to provide some meta statistics on each site on the main and / or "Ask Question" page. For example, it might be viable to disp...
Please see point 5 below. Both Codidact and S.E. waste that white space. Why not put the posted date box "posted 3 months ago" in that white space?
I'm sorry, but I have to decline this one. Categories are a core feature of Codidact and an important implementation of our central and long-standing policy that communities should be the ones who...
